Aren’t they like 5 for $5?

Kmart used to have good stuff like Berkley and Penn. But now its a reject shop. The only good things now are Berkley soft plastics and jig heads. The rest like rods n reels are rubbish.

I reckon your best bet is keeping an eye out for sales online, bcf and anaconda etc...

Normally get my small bell/rocket sinkers from there; 10 for $5...

Ok i normally use snapper leads so find them more expensive

I've got a cheap handline from kmart that is my go to for flathead. It's caught more fish than any of my rods lol

lb or on a boat? what lure or bait? line type? sounds interesting. also wouldnt you get rope burns if something big happens to come along?

For boat, it's like a lucky charm. I think it's 20lb mono, same paternoster that I put on when I bought it 6years ago, I think it's like a 3 hook and big snapper sinker to drop it straight down. I just pull it up now and then and it's usually got something on it. If I ever get onto anything big? Reckon I've lost my $4 or whatever it cost

I buy tackle from Kmart. Mine seems to stock Jarvis Walker exclusively now which seems perfectly adequate for the weekend warrior.

Just keep a eye out for sales at bcf, anaconda, rays.
Can pick up a good deal then

I'm not having a dig.
Ray's don't have fishing stuff anymore
They are owned by the same company as BCF & they don't want them competing
Ray's at Hoppers Crossing competing with BCF at Laverton
