That looks like a sweet combo. 

Glad you had a hit there. More to come by the sound of it. 

I have lost a few rods over the side. I trolled a reef anchor for about an hour for one but had no luck... 

If I lay a rod down and have to do something and cant open the bail arm I have it so just the first foot or so is hanging over the side. It would probably break the tip off but you can put a new one on and you don't loose your reel. 

I stress out over loose sinkers causing electrolysis I normally sit the rod in the holder just didn't want the sinker rolling under the floor

I ordered the 15h , I have the saltist 40h 2 speed and thought that's been a fantastic reel so I kept the diawa thing going

Geez for an advertisement you'd think they would have gone to the trouble of ensuring the line was evenly put onto the spool .....

Yep I'm thinking maybe the fisho that used that reel should look for one with level wind

Oh well, next time you go back and catch it, you’ll recognise it by the rod and reel hanging out of its mouth.

I know you were busy mining for lead at the time, but did you happen to notice a fin about three feet tall slicing through the water near where your line entered the water, perchance?

Good news and bad news this morning , good news is I had 5 good arches on the fish finder and I finally put a hook in a big bait to see how putting in those hours would pay off. Bad news is out of the corner of my eye I spotted a small ball sinker on the floor so I put the rod down for a second and went to grab the sinker. I then heard a bang and splash when my back was turned it was my texalium with my Calcutta 700s going in the drink.I think of all my rods as my shiney  children that don't talk back and to have one abducted like that really craps me off.

Yes Scotty I should have put it in a rod holder, that was my first cast so I didn't catch anything

Yep, I think that anyone who has used an overhead real would be thinking the same thing as well, I know I also did when I first saw it. Someone slipped up in the marketing department!

All good  Scotty , don't hurt your hands on the staples

My experiment has come to an end after fishing the area hard yesterday morning in fantastic conditions and last night again in fantastic conditions with nothing to get excited about. Biggest fish landed was only a 42cm squire. The whole experiment was reasonably cheap to do I think the most expensive part was buying the wife a new food processor (always check with wife before making burley logs) . I might give it another shot in Autumn when I seem to have success with bigger snapper. For the time being I'm just going to concentrate on my anti shark contraption my brother is handling the legal side of things making sure it hasn't been done before and applying for a patent and handling anything the greenies might whinge about .apparently I'm to aggressive and argumentative for the bunch of sooks .

[ellicat]

That's a shame it didn't get the results we were all hoping for. Can't wait for the Autumn phase.

What is the gist of your anti shark contraption ? Sounds interesting.

Me and a good mate ex pro fisherman recently deceased were sick of losing good fish to sharks , so we started playing with ideas on how to fix the problem one of our ideas worked awesome so I'm going to market it and go 50 /50 in the proceeds with his wife if it takes off. Unfortunately Thommo didn't have an insurance policy when he passed .so I'm hoping this works not just for me but for Sue and their 2 boys aswell

Hi @Sneaky1

I understand why ellicat was asking - and from your answer (brother handling legal) you are probably aware you cannot divulge any info publicly without risking your chances at a patent.

Cheers Kat

Don't think it will go into the millions but that would be nice .I'm thinking about selling one of the Harleys to kick off production pending the outcome of the patent application.

I believe patents aren’t cheap either. Especially if you need to get a patent attorney involved.

Yeah the application and all the legals are definitely not cheap but I have that part covered . The production side of things is reasonably cheap . I am trying to find a way to see if the Queensland government will let incarcerated inmates do the production side of things so (a) the inmates have a job (b) the money stays here not Thailand.  (C) it would be an Australian made product
