I use crc marine liberally around any moving part while moving said part and wipe off excess.

So you don’t think it affects the integrity of the line. Or do you avoid any overspray around it.

It is not soppost to affect it tho I try not to get it on the line all the same in case the fish dont like the smell.

Interesting , as in some parts of the world, WD40 was banned as a bait additive in competition fishing, due to its effectiveness

5 rigged up, new rod and reel arrives tomorrow, fishing on Friday all day. Shaping up to be a good end of week.

Up here in Northland, I use a 3 - 6kg rod, 2500 reel, 10lb braid and 15lb leader. I'm not the only one using light gear and we pull out donkey snapper all the time. As for reel care, I do a low pressure wash down, followed by drying and some reel oil when I can be bothered. Never had a problem with corrosion. Penn have produced some IPX-rated reels. I have one and it's decent, if heavy. As my Shimanos die, I will replace them.

Seems the bronze whalers are in force at my local land based spot, quite successfully claiming kingis from anglers on the regular, one even came up onto the rocks to seize its prize while it was being traced.... hungry buggers alright.

My mate had a proper unpleasant tussle with a big bronzie last weekend. He thought it was game over, but was OK. Two other “shark attacks” reported in the media on the north island that weekend. All the divers were spear fishing.

I, like you miss those shows...

TV is just so full of rubbish these days, I've practically given up.

You tube has some interesting views tho.

The kiwi bushman has some slickly edited fishing and diving videos from around the south island, durville, hokitika trench, jacksons bay etc.

Matt Watson has his own whole channel. Its called ultimate fishing.

But honestly there are so many cool little vids put up by heaps of random fellas.

Just type in to youtube's search engine what ever tickles your fancy and watch away. Best thing is you dont get 5 min add breaks and if you dont like it just hit stop ... on to the next one

After a while youtube learns what you like and new shit pops up all the time. Watched a dude explaining how he goes about spearing big snaps the other day. Very interesting.

Heaps of good hunting stuff too. Rogee Productions, Gav Bubu, Ruahine Hunter, Life of a Bushman and Keeing It Wild all have some good vids.
