Re: Flurocarbon vs Mono Leader

Squidding any 20lb leader is fine. I don't think it makes a huge difference. I like the shimano Tiagra stuff, it seems to be abrasion resistant. Easy to spend way to much on leader for no real benefit.

Re: Fireline

I tried fused lines for a bit but really really didn't like them.

Has there been any significant upgrades in the past 5ish years?

Re: Happy Mackerel Day

If you like targeting slimeys try any rocky outcrop of reef for 45 minutes just on first light. Use a slightly larger bait jig. There's always a ton of them around they are just extremely difficult to target during the day.

Re: Reel replacement advice.

The Sedona is a pretty decent choice in that range, take the extra $ and get some really good quality braid.

Re: Reel replacement advice.

Budget info would be helpful. The little stradics are tops.

Re: Coffs Harbour to Tweeds

Thanks for the tip guys. I’ll definitely grab some and start trying them out. Blows my mind, anywhere you drop a line there is a bite, a catch some action. And then I think, I can go to the piers here and Vic for weeks and not even a bite. I blame the piers in vic, but it’s just probably me who can...

Re: Where to catch Bronzies landbased.

Balcombe Beach Mt Martha.

Some guys got a decent one a few years back.

But in seriousness, any unobstructed Surf beach is a reasonable chance, or if you get a reasonable day any of the assorted south facing rock ledges.

Penn allegiance, prevail or daiwa sensor would all be better then soltace imo
What do you think of the penn defiance 2 combo? Waste of money or ok combo?
The allegience II is an excellent rod and extremely good value for money. I've not used a defiance.
