Tried on my XL shirt today. Those of you who have met me, know of my 6ft, portly build. The XL fits perfectly. Glad I didn't choose the L. Great shirt and the logo looks good. Well done.

Jumpy. I will take the M long sleeve, if I am not too late.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 15 2008, 05:24 PM

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 15 2008, 05:32 PM

For the life of me I dont know why you went ahead & ordered them after trying them on

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 15 2008, 05:42 PM

Oz, just wear a singlet underneath and leave it open. That'll work.. and you still have your site out there.

Posted by: poly Jul 15 2008, 09:22 PM

mine got here to day, should have ordered 10
thanks J.G.

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 15 2008, 10:19 PM

Yep, too right poly.. I bought a few for my family and friends.. My mate said today he was rapped with the quality of the shirt as well. We both have the Shimano version.

The only drama is that my Shimano on is my lucky shirt. Went for a fish on sunday with the brand spanking new Fishin-oz-style shirt... We came back with nothing

Sorry, i forgot we bagged out on slimies

Posted by: oz man Jul 15 2008, 10:46 PM

I am but I did get 3 just in case something like this happened.

Posted by: oz man Jul 15 2008, 10:50 PM

As I said for presents and to promote the site, But I did get 1 extra 3xl as a precaution when yah said it would be final with the ordering.

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 15 2008, 10:52 PM

What do you mean 3?? 3 shirts?

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 15 2008, 11:35 PM

Bet you were wearing that Shimano Shirt the other day when you hooked that Monster Rock Cod which snaped your ROD

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 16 2008, 12:45 AM

Well it was on the boat but i wasn't wearing it I dont know if it qualifies

Posted by: oz man Jul 16 2008, 12:49 AM

Nope 1 shirt xxxl

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 16 2008, 12:56 AM

Yeh, got my mate a triple and it is a little tight on the belly. But comfy everywhere else. I told him the same thing.

Wearing it unbuttoned qualifies as cool now i think.. Dont know.. I'll have to ask a teenager

Posted by: A pirate Jul 17 2008, 12:33 AM

excellent ill try to call in soon Jumpus....but first i need to fly home (my arms will be tired!)

Posted by: A pirate Jul 19 2008, 09:58 PM

when are you home this week?

Posted by: storms72 Jul 27 2008, 01:31 PM

Picked up shirts and other goodies yesterday, had a interesting info filled time with Frank(Nimrod) and JG....Man did I learn some about fishing! Big thanks to JG and Viva for the shirts!

Jason

Posted by: nimrod Jul 27 2008, 03:12 PM

As Jason said we collected the shirts and stuff yesterday. Thanks Jason for taking me.

Geeze I am thick, and jumpy,s not much better, I forgot all about ordering the extra shirt, and maybe that means another trip back to the tackle barn.
Had a really good and interesting few ( quiet a few ) hours talking, but mainly listening to Jumpy about the past and the future of fishing.
While there Jumpy presented me with a you beaut looking 15kg game rod, to see what I thought of it.
Beautiful looking rod with all the right stuff in the right places. I felt the weight looked through the eyes etc etc etc as you do when corressing a beautiful piece of work, then came the crunch time, BEND the rod to test the action and strength, bent it over till I had about 3-4 kilo of pressure ( bugger all ) and

S N A P

The top 8 inches in right hand and the rest of the rod in the left hand.

Only the 2nd rod I have snapped in my lifetime of fishing and playing with gear.
I really did and do feel sorry that I broke such a nice LOOKING rod, but as Jumpy said, better for it to happen in the lounge room rather then when a prize fish is on the end of it.
Really sorry Jumpy, but the blank must have had a floor in it.

Frank

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 27 2008, 05:26 PM

OUCH!!! Was it one of your custom rods Jumpy?

Posted by: storms72 Jul 27 2008, 11:55 PM

I thought not to mention it Frank but it was certainly an interesting moment.

Posted by: salty fil Jul 28 2008, 12:30 AM

Your right there Bees. OUCH!!!
Il keep it im mind to never bend JG's rod again when i go over, no matter how much he begs me!

Posted by: Bees Knees Jul 28 2008, 01:26 AM

Yep, he's asked me to bend a few as well

Posted by: Christos Jul 28 2008, 02:55 AM

Which rods are we talking about.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Jul 28 2008, 03:41 AM

I remembered as soon as I got home from the shops



Na it wasn't on the floor Frank, I had it leaning up against the wall



Salty it was all Franks fault I told him to Bend it like Beckon does but he wouldn't listen to me



Fishing Rods Christos

Oh well SHIT Happens !

I've snaped a few graphites myself but never under load allways doing what Frank did, even snaped a brand newy out of the box showing the boys how to find the rods backbone no load on the rod whatsoever, so here's a few tips for those who own graphite rods.

* It's OK to load them right up they'll handle the load
* Never grab the blank 1/2 way up & try loading up the tip they dont like that, you can get away with it on glass rods but not graphites.
* Use the whole length of the blank to load it up that way you're spreading the load & not just loading up a certain section of the blank.

Nope the rod wasn't one of my custom sticks it was one of the donated rods

Posted by: poly Jul 28 2008, 11:29 PM

if i may say this, when buying a brand new rod always load it up in the shop to make sure that there are no flaws in it, as this has happened to me, when i took the rod out for the fist time it broke on the fist fish and the buggers would not refund my money claiming i must have damaged it in some way

Posted by: storms72 Jul 29 2008, 12:05 AM

Poly if you returned a rod to me if I owned a tackle shop and said you had fisted a fish I would refuse a refund or replacement too, c-mon mate you're the one who did the buggerising on the poor little fush!!!!!

Posted by: poly Jul 29 2008, 02:29 AM

ouch

Posted by: Christos Jul 31 2008, 01:56 AM

Do a spell check.

Posted by: storms72 Jul 31 2008, 01:24 PM

Forgot how to spell so I did some checking in recent posts and found this all over the place-Fush/Fushing/Fushies-how can so many be wrong Christos

Posted by: Christos Aug 1 2008, 02:25 AM

How about this. Lets blame Jumpy.

He seems to speak with a slight list.

Posted by: Christos Aug 1 2008, 02:25 AM

Just like Bogart

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 1 2008, 03:00 AM

Ha Ha Ha !

I'll give you my Boggart in regards to all your double posts

Play it again Spam

Christos it's OK to put everything you have to say in one post, nobody will bite you

Posted by: Christos Aug 1 2008, 03:06 AM

Next time I will do that. It was an after thought that I better put the Bogart name is as some people might not recognize the reference.

Posted by: kkw Aug 25 2008, 02:23 AM

The Rumpus came up today and picked up his shirts (and rifle). 9 hour drive up and 9 hour drive back. Hmmmm, expensive shirts
Ruby was happy to see me, and was begging me to save her from country life. Don't let her off the leash, rumpus or she will find her way back here, and I will have to keep her.

Posted by: Rumpus Aug 25 2008, 02:43 AM

Haha, sure kkw.. Gave the .22 a run tonight.. scored a few playboy bunnies.. had to leave them in the paddock though.

Shirts are great, but My sizes were a bit small. Sooo.. Ange, Please let me know if there are any more avail or when they will be. Dad needs the 3xl.. Also wants to know when your gonna come down so he can teach you how to fish and annette says gday..

Thanks again KKW.. liek i said today.. When work gives me a break and I can get some time to catch up with you all i will do so..

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Aug 25 2008, 03:37 AM
