Likely. 

So if rod is rateinh at 5-10kg, I need to pair with PE main line which is lower than 10kg? And don’t set drag over breaking point of rod which is 10kg? Is that right?

Super casts is the one I want to buy!! 5-10kg rod
if I use 30lb PE for this rod, will rod break if I use drag over 10kg?
 
 

You've just confused the **** out of me as well, If your looking for roughly a 5-10kg rod id recommend a td blac supercasta or any PE1 to about a PE1.5 setup. Paired with this youd want something about 3000-5000. My personal preferance would be a 3000 or 4000 just depending what im targeting but for me i wouldnt go 5000. My 3000 and 4000 would have a PE1.2 braid or 20lb braid. My 5000 would have 30lb or about a PE1.5, Dont worry too much about the drag and rod breaking, if you have a quality rod you wont have any issues. 

Hi guys,
I have a few question about drag setting and rod, reel selection. Hope someone can help me.
I know we need to set drag at 25% of breaking point of braid line. But why? Can some one example to me?
 
And , I want to buy a 5-10 kg rod as my heavier gear set up. And it should pair with a 10kg drag reel right? Maybe 4000 or 5000 reel for targeting bigger fish. But some 5000 size reel recommend PE2.5 for 300m. And some good brand PE 2.5is about 19kg test. I’m so confused. Is this right setup?
and the break point of 5-10kg rod is 10kg? Is that means if my drag set as 10kg and mine line is 40kg, the rod will not break?
 
im so confused. Hopefully  some one can help me.
 

It's mainly because if you hook up to a decent fish that you  may need to apply full drag / load. This may mean at times you could be pushing the limits of the Rod rating. In this case you want something "weaker" and cheaper than your rod to break. It most cases this means letting the braid line break to save your rod from breaking.

Thanks @Angry51, there was a bit of work doing that one 🙂
As far as the colours and which pattern I do goes, Margie makes those decisions - especially which colours blend into which. She has much better colour sense than me.

True, hopefully it is @AUS-BNE-FISHO, I still want to put up pics of the dam behind our place, that we want to stock with barra.

It seems to be an issue for everyone at the moment, hopefully it is fixed soon.

Same thing for me over the weekend.

Can't insert photos the upload is failed each time

Nice, very nice.
Love the pattern and colours.🤩

The 15 - 24 kg two piece popping stick is now complete. I've got it up for sale on Ebay.
So, as we still can't post pics here, I'll post the Ebay URL so you can have a look at it there if you want to see how it turned out. 🙂

He drinks straight from the bottle.

There was a little fly buzzing around the cow yard and she saw a big fresh turd, as it was a fair while since she had eaten she dived straight down and started to have a big feed,
After a while she starting feeling full so she started to fly away and found out she had eaten too much and couldn't get off the ground.
She looked around and saw a pitch fork leaning up against the wall, so she walked over to it and climbed up the handle deciding she could jump off the handle and get enough height to get flying.
She jumped off and it didn't work. She fell straight down and hit her head and killed herself.
 And the moral of the story is-- Don't fly off the handle when you know you are full of ****.

Plenty in the rivers that flow into the Gulf, don't know so much down here.

Yes, @Angry51, you do need to preprare ahead with lots of hiding spots for the tiny, small, medium, largish and the big ones too.
I have bred them successfully before, on a smaller scale, for feeding my catfish, Saratoga and Murry Cod.

the cheribin sound like a good option @mangajack, saw a place in WA where they grow them to 300 gms.
I'll have to see if I can find some to catch once I get the Aquaponics tanks set up.

Anyone else getting this? All images have the "broken image" icon.

Yes, sorry. It's a site wide problem at the moment. Admin are working on a fix.
Also, you can't upload photos. 😞
