Bit too much gun for this island
My little collection- just moved house so having a sort-out. I'm largely a Shimano bitch, for sea gear anyway.
Most are on this rack

The 24kg popper gear is handy for trips- got good use in the Chathams

That reminds me, getting organised.

I’ve been itching for a Scott Radian for a while now.

I have a 5 weight Sage One on the shopping list too.
Roll on being able to actually get out and try them.
Ooops. Don’t tell the wife

Airflo Bandit 6 WT with Rio Gold and just a Fly Lab reel.
I'd probably look at getting a Scott Radian 7 wt just to have some power in our lovely windy southland conditions that seem to happen when ones wanting to wet their line!
Nothing wrong with that setup. Obviously gets the job done. [emoji106][emoji106]Quote:

I'll buy another bandit as a back up because their so nice
The new Primal rods are sounding quite decent if you wanted another option. There are also some awesome deals on Trademe if you lurk long enough.Quote:

Tho that sweet longcast baitrunner spooled with nice smooth limp 20p braid will get boat action as well.

New Stick Bait setup, itching to get out and throw at some kings.
Might sneak down to the wharf tomorrow morning and have a throw if I get a gap.
Anyone keen to join me?

Do these top water reels run the super slow isolation line wraps like the longcasts?
What ratio are they?
Also any saltwater guys run tapered leaders and what is recommended.
That are pretty quick, 5.7:1 and 47” per turn.Quote:

50lb braid, 80lb mono leader, haven’t seen anyone using tapered leaders but there might be?Quote:

Ok. Have a 5000 myself. The reel feels great but the only action it has seen is loosing 2 kingies off the rocks awhile ago. Not the reels fault though. Casts really well and the drag was silk smooth. @Gibo. thought the statue area was in the marine reserve??Quote:
