I have no idea what breaking strain it is so I intend on changing it. I read somewhere it is preloaded with 12lb but I really don't kno...

Having barely fished for trout this season (i think only 3 trips targeting them), season close pending, a spare day on the long weekend, good weather, a preceeding week with no rain, etc - decided to head out and give them a shot on the upper yarra - which i havent fished all season. Without said pr...

Nice - bring on the rowville lakes native stockings as well
