Rovex rod sold pending pickup. I’m gunna keep the t-curve deep jig

I’ll part with the Terez for $100 and Gary howard interceptor for $75 Or both for $150 

all the new stuff has gone, the second hand rods are in good-excellent condition and well below replacement $$. I will do a deal if you wish to buy more than one rod

Pfleuger sold pending pickup!

Curado sold pending pickup

do whatever you are most confident doing

i reel my light finesse stuff left handed and my offshore stuff right handed! i inherited a 6 wt fly rod from my father in law and it is a left hand wind so that is how i use it - i could never cast a fly rod left handed! 

i love the feeling of this combination and that is what i am most comfortable with after a few years.

interestingly i kick the footy right foot but my drop kicks and torps are much better with my left foot

Tyrnos sold! All other items on Gumtree

G'day Watty!

I prefer to wear shoes as i have very soft and sensitive feet, would i be able to join your club?

Thanks in advance

Andrew

It’s a new month tomoro Nog! 
I reckon the Terez is a bit stiff for slow jigging if that helps

Abu is called the Revo saltwater I think. How much line do you need? Have a look at the quantum smoke inshore reels too

As a guide, the heavier the weight of the reel the bigger it is and the more line it will take. Look for reels that say the are for saltwater use too. They tend to quote heavier breaking strain lines on bigger models too. 
 

In my opinion you cant go wrong with Shimano And their 10 year warranty. 

3.85m sea jay nomad or similar

the problem is, I’ve already upgraded many of these rods already! It’s just way too easy to hang onto them as “spares”...

I need some extra rods for my boys now, so consider it sold. I'll take it off you hands (not only because you made me laugh).

Sold! I can drop it over to you if you would like

Hi guys and gals, i am upgrading some gear and offloading some stuff that doesnt get used enough so I have some rods and a reel for sale, all will be advertised elsewhere in the coming days. Thought i'd let AFOers in first! 

Prices are fair and firm but i am willing to knock a bit off if anyone wants to buy more than 1. 

Pickup from Tarragindi (unless your name is Brian) 

Rods

Shimano Terez TZC66HPW - 6'6 40-80lb overhead white - old series original metallic silver binding. Good used condition, there are some stains under the epoxy on bindings (See pic) due to dissimilar metals (which is why the later models had black binding) but hasnt affected performance $100

Gary Howard Interceptor overhead 5'2 8kg (similar to the Game On 8kg model) - was 5'6 but i had the tip cut down by a rod maker to fit in my mates cabin. Lightly used, excellent condition Sold

I saw a couple of The old Style white 40-100 lb ones For $150 at Everton park BCF about a month ago. Might be worth ringing around To see whose got One 

Drop bear mate there’s not much  that tyrnos 20 with 70lb braid won’t stop. Just need a decent rod to put it on. The old series Terez rods can take a beating are relatively cheap if you can find one. The 40-100lb 6’6 OH is a weapon. I’ve got the 40-80lb and it has stopped reds, big cobes And has enough tip to land tuskies and rte too. Welcome to come have a look if you want Mate. 

all the best Robbie you will be back in no time

G'day Hamish,

I would say the small-eyed gudgeons are uncommon (rather than rare). There are many better options for crab bait in my opinion, let the gudgeons go!

Thanks for your reports, keep up the great work

Gday Drop Bear, i think Luvit posted a picture of a map of the Bay with some generic marks in one of his many HB posts - might be worth a search on here.

Enjoy!

Don’t get grease all over her handbag Brian!

Congrats Brian she looks even better in the flesh!

That is a quality filleting table shot! Great going guys I bet they will taste as good as it was catching them

Cheer up buddy and accept it when you are wrong. There is no fire here no need to start one.

I'm not starting anything mate - all my posts are to inform. My job is to ID fish and teach people (including rec fishers) about fish ID. I have provided information from fisheries website to assist. Happy to chat about it, you have my mobile number

Spanish have much narrower bars and don't have the spots that these have. Spanish have bars that run to the tail while the greys (aka broad-barred mackerel) have spots to the tail. 

Here is another photo, from a different angle, where you can see the broad bands and the spots on the tails. 

 

Not grey, cos greys dont have spots, and not school, cos schoolies dont have stripes. 

The question is, would you feel confident with your ID when boating patrol were about to look in your esky?

They look like small Spanish to me. Grey macks are known as broad barred mackerel as the gap between the bars is greater than Spanish (aka narrow barred mackerel). Grey macks have different proportioned heads and dorsal/anal fins. MLS 60cm bag 5. Schoolies Have large, indistinct spots larger than their eye but do not have any stripes at all, ever. MLS 50cm bag 10. Spotties have lots of small spots smaller than the eye  - mls 60cm bag 5.

Minimum legal size is 75cm for Spanish with a bag of 3 and new boat limit of 6

Sinker moulds gone, thanks Brian!
