Did well there Seb!
Looks great mate 😊
How long did that take you?
Thanks.
Hard to tell, its like an hour a day every now and then, and 2-3 hrs last Sat-Sun.

I got the arsenal out and gave it a good clean and wipe down with inox, did a whole spiel on Instagram of what I generally do and how I maintain rods and reels. A few on here would have seen it.

Next week I'll get around the other half a dozen or so I have lying around.

Weekend before I got the wheel bearings done.
Wow!
Black label, black label, black label. :gj:
Close!!! But I don't blame you. They are almost similar looking from a distance ;-)

I finally finished the outdoor bench.
Can be used for sun bathing, just sit around, or i set it as a low seating table japanese style.
Not bad for the first time.rps20200502_124533.jpg

That's come out quite nicely mate, well done.
You might have already done this but Are you going to stain and seal it, or leave as is?

Looks good mate - nice use of the left over decking wood. Planter boxes are another good one for spare decking slats

Yup, gonna oil it. Cabbots decking oil should do the job.
The pine is also treated pine, good for the outdoor. And merbau is a one tough cookie of a wood.

Oh the butt handle is eva.
Black label is all cork isn't it.

Commander aren't they?
What's that at the end, emeraldas?

You love your Daiwa. Great collection there.
Atm I'm researching finesse bc outfit. Daiwa used to have pixy. Now there's only Alphas.
Or will have to get JDM product from overseas.
The rod is harder to find in Aus. Something like a 5ft bc rod casting 1-7gm weight.

Shimano have the Alderbaren 50. Expect to pay over $500 for one though.
Rods, again don't look at the price.... But locally you could get Daiwa Steez Harrier F-Spec at 7ft, Skyray power plus at 6.8ft. Cheaper but don't go as light and if you find one a gen black v2 basstik, lunkerhunter or finneza. The Samurai infinite b12-f66 may fit the bill, again $$$$$. If you want cheaper then.... Import yourself time

I had a finesse bc outfit once. It’s a pain in the arse. Spin is much better for the lightweight stuff. Heavier lures though and bc is great.
