sigh it was hard work


Eish. Too much of niceness.


One thing I noticed this weekend on the marlin whilst skippering. I dont know about shag, Rory, Reel Magic etc say but lumo yellow high vis line is the way to go. Trying to follow blue or white line on other fish on blue water is nearly impossible, the marlin was on double x 50lb yellow. you could see it clearly whenever you needed to.




My lures from S&R tackle are on the way. My tackle addiction has its fix coming.

Yup that's the one. 1.5oz rating. Got it from Basil's. Price is on their site. Their service is brilliant, by the way. Door to door courier within 2 days.

You can have a chuck with it at the social Homes... I'm still very sceptical that a rod so long will be able to load a 1oz lure. Proof will be in the pudding...

You think?!?! All your back hooks are a tad too short into the lure. You need to rig them all over again!!!!  :crzy

Great selection! And the blue over gold? Priceless...

I am looking forward to some feedback REEFMAN. I am also tempted to pair one with my Sustain but am a bit sceptical and those rods are a bit pricey.

actually love those lures relatively inexpensive and smoke more than bob marley in the 70's and they catch fish
