Bait and burley dinosaurs still roam the open seas it seems
The A-team:
- Mechanical jigging: Jigstar rod + Avet reel
- Heavy slow jigging: Shimano Revolution + Abu Garcia 6501
- Light slow jigging: Ocean Angler Bender + Abu Garcia 4601
- Microjigging/softbaiting: Explorer XT rod + Shimano Stradic Ci4+ 2500
Plus a shit load of game fishing gear, bottom fishing rods, surf rods and freshwater gear that rarely gets used.
Might need to get some advice about skis from you shortly, looking at getting one in the next month or two.
What ski are you using?

How do you rate the Avet? They look very nice. Originally Posted by MightyBoosh

It's a good solid reel, more of a Land Rover than a Porsche, but it does the job. It's predecessor was an Accurate, that was something else! Sadly it went to Davy Jones and it wasn't my fault Originally Posted by kiwijames

Unlike a reel to leak oil? Originally Posted by MightyBoosh

If it only leaked oil that would be bearable. Originally Posted by Shearer

What I have never understood about so many people that are right handed is why they would fight with there left and wind with there right.
I am right handed everything and wind with my left. Pain in the ass buying baitcaster or overheads with left hand wind.

I'm with you on that one Dave. I find a RH reel is perfect for a true lefty. Fly fishing looks awkward the supposed right way. Cast, swap hands, retrieve, swap hands, cast again. Originally Posted by R93

You are weird and against what is considered normal. Originally Posted by R93

Hold the rod with right hand and winding with the left hand just makes sense.
As with KJ, I also have a lefty father, and he winds with the right hand.Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

Totally agree. It seem fishing reels are the only thing ever make to suit left handers rather than right. Not only for casting but playing the fish, having your strongest arm on the rod. I can't understand why it has taken most right hander's so long to swap the handles over on their egg beaters. Originally Posted by R93

When I got my first rod and reel at 7 the first thing was to put the winder on the left side of the reel. I've been on a few charters and always felt weird using their right handed overhead reels, just unnatural. I'm very right hand dominant. Originally Posted by R93

I had to get my baitcasters and overheads from overseas. Cheapish and need maintenance. I will need to get a couple more for snapper rigs. Let me know if you see any good deals. Originally Posted by gadgetman

I am pondering trying one of the bait casters off AliExpress, se m to have all the specs for around $40. Originally Posted by R93

I haven't been brave enough to buy anything expensive yet.
For $40 I thought it might be worth a punt though?

Both my baitcasters I bought for 40 bucks of eBay iirc. Originally Posted by Spudattack

The other of the exact same make and model just different colour has lasted perfectly.
I have caught kahawai, (believe it or not snapper), salmon, trumpheter and some albies using it with braid.
For 40 bucks it is worth a punt for sure.
