great white

Nice fish in some nice weather Looking forward to getting out there again soon

Choices are vast But to get one rod to do it all, a soft braid rod in the 12-20 class would get response from small fish and able to cope with the odd large fish. I have a few Finn Nor fixed spools and they are great. the bigger ones have huge drag settings. The main problem would be the braid. I generally use 30lb, but small breaming reels are filled with lighter and deeper water reels are 50lb. Easy to change spools on a fixed spool, but the extra spool and two lots of braid alone, would use most of your budget

Good luck all we are away so I was hoping for a reschedule, but it looks like the weather will be kind for a change. I hope that a few COD show up in case you have forgotten , this is what they look like. LOL

Belated Happy Birthday Terry Hope that you had great day

Happy Birthday Oli Have a great day

Look at the price of the tickets. Wow But thinking back to what we were being paid in 1980, I expect it was still one to save up for

Bound to catch some now. Well I might if I can get a break from this damn weather

Bugger servicing or fueling up that lot. I struggle to get out enough now, so that would make each trip very costly

Hi Steve I presume that it is a travel rod you are after. I use a Shimano up to 100g , I could let you have the details if you like Mine is the 3 mtr one and a tad long, I borrowed Dan's 2.7 this year for Norway and it had a better balance.

Happy Birthday Andy Have a great day.

I too decided to give the constant rain a miss. Just about finished the bathroom project at the weekend, Wendy is very pleased with it, so I now need a weather window to use up the brownie points.

Thanks Mick

Thanks Lofty and all who liked the picture.

Hope that works for you Ian, I believe the light nights tend to get calm are you at the meeting tonight I still have one of your tops at home.
