There both Shakespeares, I've looked them up and there only worth about $40 to $50 new, I've seen some daiwa bait casters selling for around $350+, because im only starting to learn i dont want to waste my time on these cheap things I have because I doubt I'll make any progress, I can't afford to ju...

Hey everyone, I found 2 baitcaster reels amongst my collection of rods and reels so decided to teach myself how to actually use them, I got them from hard rubbish but never actually bothered using them. Now I'm keen to try something new ive come to realize how hard they are to use. A mate of mine sa...

What a find.. I was cleaning off an old book shelf and found this on top covered in dust, i remember buying this year's ago when i heard they had stopped getting made. Does anyone know the story behind Cadburys and the Tassie devil lure? I've heard they had a falling out but not sure of the whole si...

I have a few of these old rods but none are in this condition. The bag it was in has a name and address but its real hard to read, i can see that they paid $18 for it though.. ahh those were the days

Hey everyone, I've found a brand new unused vintage Jarvis walker "clarence" fishing rod in a neighbours hard rubbish. The reason I know it's never been used is because the chrom bits to connect the 2 halves dont even have a scuff mark at all from being joined and the reel handle thread is done up w...

Yeah thats the plastic I was using, reddies love them.

Well I've never caught a carp on a plastic before, as I said before I fish sugarloaf that often I might aswell make it my postal address, I've only ever caught carp when im bait fishing in rivers and other lakes, i know carp are in sugarloaf, just never caught one in there, I've seen big schools of ...

Carp will absolutely eat a plastic and run with it Well there ya go, I'd say thats what it was, I've only ever heard of 1 person catching a carp with a plastic, ive hooked them on there back once or twice before so I was thinking thats what happened.. it just seemed different, almost like a big roc...

Hey everyone, Something real weird happened to me up at sugarloaf, it was about half hour before dark and i was casting out a soft plastic about 15 meters away from some submerged trees, after a good 4 or 5 casts in the exact same spot something massive grabbed my plastic the second it hit the water...

Nice fish :tu: good footage, you got the hookup footage. Ultegra 1000 has a 3kg max drag I believe, I would put about half drag. When I try to retrieve a lure from a snag, I put my hand and hold the spool, rather than tighten the drag to full. That way I don't change the drag setting. Good idea, I'...
