Thanks bud... The machine is in pristine condition. I almost feel guilty for taking it off Frikkie. He's a real gentleman! If he were on this site, I'd shower him with cred.

How much was this bad boy

FishStyx · « **Reply #606 on:** October 01, 2014, 07:35:31 PM »

Felt a bit like i stole it. Came loaded with Gosen PE1.5 with an extra new spool of Gosen for slightly the wrong side of 3k. Man I'm chuffed. She's going on my Berkley Air

Niiiice Martin , now just to get to the waters edge and fish with that baby ....

FishStyx · « **Reply #608 on:** October 01, 2014, 07:49:41 PM »

You have no idea how badly I need that right now Mike... It's been 18 months since my last little outing and it's starting to show... Getting really cranky when I smell the salt at dinner time.

Very nice! And you simply cannot go wrong with that Gosen braid either!

My name is John F and lately I have been misbehaving terribly! While others have been involved the responsibility is all mine!

I have recently acquired:
* a brand new bling Tiagra80WA which is now being spooled with 600 m of dacron + topshot;

* another 2nd hand but very good condition Ti80 combo with dacron+topshot;

* a sexy Alutecnos fighting jacket;

* a sweet Daiwa Saltist 4500H with braid which I'll pairwith the Exage surf, for some spinning sessions at Ponta;

* and to top it all, the long awaited and drop-dead gorgeous, SnR lures C-cup and Sweet 16 - 2 of each!!!!

Eish... it feels gooood!

Marcos, that's not misbehaving, that's tearing the ring right out of it.

As Ultimate Anglers in the TA program, we are all proud of you

I really like my Saltists. I think they are terribly underrated reels.

Well, thank you!

They should make jelly / liquorice sweets that look like those lures. Id be addicted to them and they will keep me occupied until i can afford a boat to use those lol

My name is Christo and I'm an addict... but I think I might have taken things a LITTLE BIT too far!
My garage is getting a bit small for my liking and I cannot fit all my tackle neatly without falling over stuff (apparently there has to be space for the missus' car

). I could not think of any other option, so I bought a new plot and will be building a new house WITH a separate tackle store-room off the garage, as well as a fish cleaning station.
At least that way my stuff will be stored neatly again!

You're gonna have to wait a LONG time for pics... transfer is only June next year, then we have 2 years to build, but believe you me, I'm already playing with ideas in my head, scribbling bits and pieces on paper for the architect!
Imagine reversing into the garage, canopy opens into a door which leads to a tackle-store with a slightly angled floor and drain (like a shower, effectively a WET ROOM), with a concrete/stainless cleaning table (hosepipe, sink, bin, tools, hand-gaffs, knives, , vacuum-sealer, the works). All tackle stored on the "higher side", fitted neatly against the wall, curtain-rails for all lures, whilst fish and gear are cleaned on the lower side, and a slide connecting the bakkie-canopy to the cleaning station for the bigger tuna!
I'll put the design up once it's finished!! ...oh and don't forget the bar-fridge and BIG box-freezer!
