Sam both rods are terrific, i use the Snyder 9 foot Contessa an we sell the 9 foot Gary Howard where i work and i have picked it up many times and thought what a nice rod it was. You don't say what species you want to use it for, if you're after a specialist whiting rod i would go with the Gary Howard, if you want one for bream and whiting i would go for the Contessa "Light", cheers wayne

Totally agree Andrew, this is a great site to find out what's going on in the fishing world, lets hope it stays that way for a very long time. As for the not so nice comments made from time to time, i know when i am fishing with mates things are often said that would offend someone you didn't know but this is why these guys are mates they give as good as they get and everyone has a good time. Unfortunately smart arse comments to some one you don't know normally do not go down well and are best left unsaid, as the others have said it would be a boring site with no fishing reports or photos, cheers wayne

Lachie, unfortunately the Christmas casual positions at BCf have all been filled in around October, but go online and put your name down for a future position, this is what i did 4 years ago when i wanted a change. I am not going to get into the what stores best and who knows what, i think in our store we have someone to help you wheather you want to catch Marlin of Garfish and everything in between. Unfortunately on busy days we sometimes can't spend as much time with customers as we would like but if you want help with something try and come in during the week when it is not as busy. Still remember a couple of years ago going in to a so called specialist fishing store and being told i wouldn't catch fish unless i used braid that was worth $60, was all i could do to stop laughing. Personally for me i love working there, we have some terrific customers some of whom have become good fishing mates, cheers wayne
