a clip from the 3rd round of the stealth summer series
nice little clip from the Adder Rock round of the Stealth Summer series - it looked a bit bumpy out there

the last round is at Coffs Harbour late May half a dozen of us from Vic are travelling up for this event which is a 2 day off shore event and we will slide back to South West Rocks for a week after that

Makes it look precarious perched on those skinny yaks in the choppy conditions

Great vid, thanks for sharing. It must get the blood pumping when you're on a big fish.
How does the gear hold up in those conditions?

Re: a clip from the 3rd round of the stealth summer series
biggest problem is damage to gear going through the surf mainly if you turtle - however all the off shore ski type kayaks will fit 4 rigged rods inside the hatch safe and sound for thisratbag wrote:

reels are always a problem in any kayak fishing they are drowned almost ever trip so finding something that works and is cost effective is a chore
most guys I know tend to use Penn Slammers as they handle the salt pretty well there drags work fine and they are cheap to replace
it's hard to find an equal in the 75 - 85 dollar range

Re: a clip from the 3rd round of the stealth summer series
great setups with the yaks, shame there isn't a reel that'll have a good seal in the low $$ with some serious grunt. I admire the guys who have the courage to paddle out in the swell & come back with some great catches.cheaterparts wrote: biggest problem is damage to gear going through the surf mainly if you turtle - however all the off shore ski type kayaks will fit 4 rigged rods inside the hatch safe and sound for this

Re: a clip from the 3rd round of the stealth summer series
shithouse conditions but looks pretty fun nonetheless.
The cheapest I've seen looks to be the Slammer III reels which look pretty good, a bit like a poor man's Van Staal. They're over $300 though which isn't exactly cheap given the ever present risk of losing things over the side. I think the Spinfisher SSV is 'water resistant' but those are still $150+ which is more than I'd rather be spending on kayaking reels never mind, I've found them for just over $100ratbag wrote:great setups with the yaks, shame there isn't a reel that'll have a good seal in the low $$ with some serious grunt.

You can't beat the Penn slammers for price verses longevity in salt water, the 560 bait runners are excellent as well as the non runner version, the max drag settings are up there with the best of them expensive reels, most my reels are now slammers and shimano's ...
He who has the most fishing rods WINS !

over the Aust day W/E Jordo pulled a 19 kg tuna with a slammer 460 and the reel held up really well line capacity was a little scary at times and the 560 would have been betterhornet wrote:You can't beat the Penn slammers for price verses longevity in salt water, the 560 bait runners are excellent as well as the non runner version, the max drag settings are up there with the best of them expensive reels, most my reels are now slammers and shimano's ...
