Re: Budget high speed spin reel ($80 - $120) for casting metal?

OK I see that the quantum Smoke seems to have a deeper spool being listed at 200yd @30lb braid. I was tossing up the spool size of my Penn Battle II 3000 vs a spare 4000 Sienna I have. Looking more into it the Penn (6.2:1) is 250yd @15lb braid and sienna (5.2:1) is 265yd @15lb braid so I reckon I'll...

What sort of minimum line capacity should you ideally have for a beach salmon spin reel? Assume capacity based on 15lb or 20lb braid

Wow mate - that's a pretty big change for you! Hope you can get back to your home grounds often enough - best of luck with it. There should be enough people able to give you some advice, but maybe one that hasn't come up on here but you have probably seen on Instagram - is that there are some cracki...

Re: How’s everyone been?

Congrats mate - look after your wifey, it's the key to getting the chance to go out again every now and then while your baby is so young.

Re: Werribee 4 Apr '21 on kayak

The day went something like this: I got up to the general area first and with some points of interest in mind, I started to explore what the water and access looked like in person. After a couple of moves I ...

Re: 5ft6 1-3/2-4kg spin rods

I pulled the trigger on the ugly stik carbon 562 2-4kg which it's casting range is 2-7g, so should hopefully be light to hold but have a bit of backbone while being flicky for light lures.
