I bought one of the last Len Butterworth blanks off Rext Hunt when he ran the Complete Angler in Flinders St I think back in the 80's. It's a beast of a rod, 8176 blank. Need to bring it back to life someday. I also have a few other Snyders of course. The glass blanks are much better for setting the hook in my opinion, especially for Tailor, either spinning or baiting. Sorry Andrew,I'm keeping them of course

Sharks on Tuna are pretty common these days along Bribie...and elsewhere. Trick is to fight them hard and get them in early. Easy saying that of course

Hey mate Sorry for the tardy reply, been fly fishing for trout in the high plains of Vic Basiclly anywhere you can cast a soft plastic you can cast a fly. I fish for Bass in North pine and Kerwongbah form the edges or form a yak Haven't bothered with fishing from the surf much, waves are a pain for fly line Sand flats around Bridie Passage are great for whiting and flathead. Go to a few fly fishing club meetings to get more info and hook-up with the experts http://bffc.org.au/wordpress/

Ask your mechanic what's the next bit that will need replacing after the other upgrades and decide from there. Fords should go for about 300K if serviced well

@Tuna are fish Good luck mate. Give us buzz anytime if you need help. Cheers Norm

Thanks @ellicat for the potential recruit @Tuna are fish. Flyfishing is just another way to spend hard earned cash and not catch fish I love it to bits. Go to a club meeting first and see what type of idiot fly fishes and get some help in casting and advice on gear if you are interested. PM for details of clubs around the area. BFFC meet at Everton PArk Scouts and the SEQFF meet at Mermaid Waters Bowls CLub. There is also the Malard and Claret but very Trouty focussed Cheers Norm

I got two of the Veritas 3.0 on special and I reckon they are a great rod for the money. This one would probably suit your requirements https://www.freddys.com.au/products/abu-garcia-veritas-v4-graphite-rods-1?gclid=CjwKCAjwgb6IBhAREiwAgMYKRsPHVgtsd8Hsy7zRbvdnYNnm-X3prR5kXG0AYd8WFU5d3R6C2PjLQhoCcwcQAvD_BwE&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&variant=39288446746696

Shimnao Terez TZS72M (20-40lb) 7'2" if you want to spend a bit of coin. I have the TZS72MH to pair with a Saragosa 10000 and it's a beast of a setup. Whatever your budget is bro

Hi Terry I'm just very cautious and the lack of freeboard is a factor. Also I've had some green come over the bow on occassions. I know it's self draining and it was probably driver error, but it freaked me enough to choose my weather windows wisely. Of course YMMV Cheers Norm
-
PEople might bag them but a StabiCraft is one very seaworthy boat. A 5.2 cente console would be the cheery. FYI. I have a Galeforce 5.5 glass boat and at a stretch would do LAdy Muscrave on a calm day

For trolling you'd only need a cheapy boat rod that has some serious down low guts. A Silstar crytsal tip or an ugly stick would be fine. As for a reel, any cheapy TLD's that still have good gears and drag would be fine. I have one that's years oldand I just treat thedrag washers with Erskine Reel grease from time to time. Alot can be said about the benfits of braid in casting soft plastic and getting down deep but for trolling keep it simple and spool up a million metres of 20-25 lb mono. Although why you'd troll for Tuna when you could cast a perfectly decent fly at them is totally beyond me FWIW Norm
