  1. Today’s games at Suncorp stadium have been cancelled
  2. I’ve had a play with the new nasci and definitely a great little reel for the price point ($169)
  3. Gday Hamish. Mate I have a 5000 saltist spin reel here in perfect order your welcome to have. Nice high speed retrieve of your want to use metals or stickbaits too. Just flick me a message and I’ll arrange postage
  4. From Europe mate. But can order through southern edge lures
  5. Looks like you had a bloody mint session mate. That’s one fish I’d really like to tick off the bass
  6. Brilliant rods hey! I’ve got quite a few of the steez rods and love them all
  7. I got three in one session landbased first time I’d ever been there. There’s definitely still a decent amount of Barra and threadies in the river. I recommend sounding around structure on last half of run out tide, super early mornings before sunrise worked well for me. Different parts of the heat they move to certain areas in a system. This time of year the Barra fishing can be quiet, but a brilliant time for big threadfin when I fished it two years ago
  8. Mate Rockhampton is probably the most underrated Barra fishing place in Queensland. So many good fish in the city reaches. Happy to pass on more info if required
  9. I have the 2500 and 2508 steez to go with the spin, and this steez 1016 to go with the machine gun
  10. Hey guys. Firstly I’d like to thank everyone for welcoming me to this group. Hopefully I’ll get to catch up with you all at some stage. Anyway today I Decided to bite the bullet and grab a couple of rods that a friend of mine was selling that have never been used, as well as a bunch of old school lures that I used to love using in my youth. Very pleased so far with the actions of the two rods, and am looking forward to giving the lures a solid workout in the next few weeks. Thought I’d share a few pics. Tight lines
  11. I’m just going by my experience mate. I took two new saltiga reels out to wreck reef and neither lasted the trip. After a discussion with a few sales reps from daiwa I was told that there are teething problems with with series that they are currently working on. Don’t get me wrong I love my satigas, just was disappointed with these flaws.
  12. The new model saltigas aren’t really up to scratch in my eyes mate. Numerous complaints about drags seizing and broken main gears and pinions. The older model expeditions etc were far more sturdy and reliable. I bought three of the new model saltiga steels, and sold them all after 3 months. You may find they suit you though
  13. Hey guys. Decided to walk down the road from home yesterday during a spell in the weather. Not really knowing the area I had a quick scout around over a shallow sandbank looking for any signs of bait. Instantly I found a massive school of hardiheads, which were clearly being harassed by something below as they were skittering everywhere . I tied on a frost white 60mm double clutch on my millerod grubfreak and daiwa exist 2004, and for the next hour or so it was nearly a fish a cast. Mainly just flathead around the 50-60cm mark, and a few bream. Towards the end of the session I tied on a MMD splash prawn and caught a few average bream on it too. Was a nice way to spend an hour, and a great way to open my account in my new home Brisbane .
  14. If you want some really good braid that never gets wind knots, is ultra thin for its diameter, and casts superbly. Try the Varivas light game PE. I use it on basically all my bream outfits and I love the stuff. The 0.4PE and 0.6 PE Is strong and as thin as hair
  15. Although a newbie I’d like to enter please
  16. I bought it originally for Barra mate. down here in Brisbane I’ve heard you need to pull fish from structure quite quickly (fishing the port) ?
  17. They are from Europe. Not readily available in Australia mate. Very few people have these plastics. Ultra realistic
