Re: any one have experience with this spin rod?

Both Cam and I spun with the previous edition of the revo and it was excellent.

I had a look at the heavier version of that one as something I could break down and put in a backpack for climbing into spots. It seems like pretty good value for money but I haven't fished with one.

Re: live bait

thanks for the detailed response dougiek, i target flathead, salmon, basically anything that would be around piers. Hey i'm not on here that often anymore. Honestly, you don't need livebait for what you're doing. The only two things I'd really consider livebaiting in VIC would be a Jewie or a Kingf...

Re: live bait

What are you live baiting for? A live yakka / slimey / pike / squid is ideal for kingfishing, but i'm not sure what else you'd be targetting except maybe a jewie with a mullet. Yakka - berley the hell out of it and put a tiny bit of fish flesh on an unweighted hook and whip it into the berley trail....

Re: WHATS YOUR BEST FISH?

Couldn't decide. Each unique experiences. GT popped from Cape York, breaking a PE10 in the process. Heaviest fish and probably regarded as the 'best' capture. https://i.imgur.com/e1Q5xhg.jpg Queenie landed in terrifying conditions at 1770, this was the 45 minutes into the first day of a 3 week trip ...

Penn Allegiance II is currently what I'm considering, ~$110-120, ROD LENGTH: 9' NUMBER OF PIECES: 2 ROD POWER: Medium Light LINE RATIN...
