I thought I needed some line with a bit more finesse for all the breaming I've been doing lately

It's actually thinner than the 30lb Rovex braid i have on all my gummy/snapper/kingy setups despite having almost 3 times the breaking strain.
Is it expensive bream-buster line? I need to re spool some reels

I'd be able to land some of those "gum" fish I hook, with that stuff.

I use the 15kg for surf spinning for salmon, and for squidding. It's seriously thin and the barbs on squid jigs straighten before the line breaks so you can rip snagged jigs out of the weed without losing them if your leader is heavy enough.

Awesome thanks I’ll get some 15kg for my smaller reels too. I use heavy leader for squid jigs too, not too keen on losing my yamashitas!

Went to Anaconda, bought Jarvis Walker lure box $3.75
Ecogear SX40 $18.39 and zman slim swimz $8.79
Amongst other freshwater lures I purchased over the years.
Really want to improve my bream lure fishing.

Is it just me or going to a tackle shop to buy lures is like a kid in a candy shop?

Can never get enough. My freshwater lures alone right now probably worth $600 (excluding lures for natives).

Picked up a few new lures on the weekend, for hand made timber lures, they are a fantastic quality.

Nice purchase mate!
I’m the same when I go look at all the different plastics/lures and other fishing tackle I can’t stop :rofl:

What brand are they Brett? I didn't spend enough time looking at the lure stalls...apart from the Kuttafurra stand.

I have turned lately towards purchasing (yet to use them so I won't say using) timber lures. Doof Doc, Kuttafurra, Paul Nicel, Mudeye and Custom Crafted lures....I should be able to give some of them a run in the local channels before they shut down....unless it p!sses rain and they close early (hope it does rain).

@Seb....Trelly's must have had more than one Daiwa T3 in stock....the one I saw on the table in their Shepp store is still there!
