I gather that they need the hooks and rings upgraded but are a good lure otherwise. The morningtide boys like them
why would the rings need to be upgraded rust easy?
Not heavy enough, and liable to straighten out if you hook into a decent King or similar I'm guessing.

Purchased a Ram swing arm mount and finished off installing the new Garmin unit, these are a solid bit of equipment.

Having ordered the boat I had to change vehicles so that I could tow it.

I decided on a Forester as Subaru had decent EOFY deals on them and previous to my current car I got 12 years and 300,000km out of my WRX

It is with great regret that I had to trade in my 2012 Clio RS.

Oh well, fishing fun will have to replace driving fun. I may have been sceptical about Renault reliability but the handling was wonderful and I had 4.5 years of trouble free motoring.
Cheers,
Neil

I'm having a similar dilemma atm. My current beater is on its last legs and I have to decide whether I want something nice to drive or something that can get into places you can't take a corolla.

I know how you feel; the Forester was as much a driving downgrade as I could bear to make.

you would be surprised how many places you can take a corolla

I got some hilarious looks from 4wd drivers as they rounded a bend on some goat track and saw my little 1988 hatchback rattling towards them

The issue is not where you can take it, it's whether you can get back out again lol. i've done some silly things in mine too. No floor mats in mine because i needed to use them as traction aids to get her out of a mudfilled pothole. front bumper and underbody splash guards mostly held on by cableties due to bottoming out multiple times. Have lost spark to 4 burnt out plugs halfway through the black spur. suspension is currently in jack in a box mode after 300k kms of pain. list goes on.
