I've had issues and just bought a flat plug ofr mounting on the car from superchop which has little LED's at the connection. When the wire is active the LED comes on. So if for example the left blinker LED light flashes when you put the blinker but there's no blinking at the trailer light then there's an issue between the plug and the light, or at the light itself. If the blinker is on and the LED isn't flashing at the 7 pin connection, then the problem is from the car, and is not the trailer. Just helps a little with isolating any issues and wasn't any more expensive than other mounts.

Or get a railblaza one with a starport.
Alternatively a good headlight is the $50 rechargeable from Jaycar. Thrws a good beam and lasts an hour or so between recharges.

I think their spinning and baitcaster reels are made overseas to Alvey specifications but I could be wrong.

I agree, I have a thunnus and two D series baitrunners, and the thunnus is a class above the baitrunners. Not that the baitrunners aren't a good reel. I have a 6 and also a 12 and I use them especially for threadies. I use the 12 out on the reef and it's got good drag. Nice and smooth. They're complicated to replace parts but I had to change the main drive gear in the 12 which was interesting. Ordered the part from shimano and that worked out fine. Thunnus is a really smooth reel.

They should be there.
It's funny how some rivers seem to be full of jacks and some (like the mary in qld) they're quite rare. It might have to do with access to reefs as they migrate from creek and river mouths out to inshore and offshore reefs to mature and breed. This is possibly why north qld jacks caught in the rivers and creeks are much smaller than those in southern qld, and gold coast jacks are amongst the biggest. Just a thought.

Those are a cod lure I think? Freshwater lures tend to have a violent action more so than saltwater lures which tend to shimmer more.

Yep and sometimes you'll find the low profile reels carry less than the others. Also for jigging some of the reels don't have the level wind which annoys the hell out of me but some love it, so watch for that. You also need to consider whether it will be used only for dropping or whether you want to cross over with it to do some casting as well, as some reels just won't cast at all well.
