I'm back @ it again

Couldn't help myself was playing with a few of the new reels last week which were very impressive & thought I'd build up a few new rods to try them out on.

One reel in particular was the new full alloy body overhead twin geared 6 : 1 down to 4 : 1 not in the pic cause the rod is drying but have to admit it came up spoofylacockassen even went to the trouble of doing a wittle fish's design on it.

In the pic is another one of those 3 kg bait sticks & a 3 kg spin stick I'm just about to bind up

Will post additional pics later

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 17 2008, 02:47 AM

1st used than concept some 30 years back jason.

Ideal back in my old rock hoping days for pelting out lures a long way esp with the overhead reels.

Funny how old trends come back & again that style of rod suits the way I fish these days, allthough all my fushing is done out of a boat & I'm using threadlines with no need to cast out great distances the longer but allows me to tuck the rod under my arm pit whilst fighting a fush.

This in turn is very comfortable & leaves you with a free hand to smack people on the head when they dont risten

Na it allows you to grab a net , gaff etc & do it comfortably.

With graphite rods being so light these days why add on extra weight by adding extra hyperlon or glueing on extra cork.

A couple here have picked up one of those rods in pic & they'll tell you they're as light as a feather.

Posted by: It'l Do Mar 17 2008, 03:02 AM

I really like the colours in that blue, balck and gold wrap on the left rod.

You build so many rods are you sure you do not have a secret business selling your rods.

Daniel, start saving your pennies because if Jumpy ever sells any of his gear your would have so many to choose from but you would end up with some nice gear at the right price.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 20 2008, 01:48 AM

Took some pics today but I got my bloody shadow in the way didn't I ???

Have to take some better pics tomorrow


The rod with the wittle fishys on it is the unfinished rod from last pic





ps] currently doing one with purple , green silver in it & think poly will be impressed cause the fish look like parrots

I'll call them parrot fish for the record

Posted by: Rum Dust N Ruckus Mar 20 2008, 01:56 AM

Looks great jumps!!

Keep the info coming!

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 20 2008, 01:59 AM

Rumpus you really need to see the wittle fishy's design up close

Dave is still scrating his head trying to figure out WTF

Posted by: poly Mar 20 2008, 02:04 AM

how much do you wont for it j. g.???????????????????

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 20 2008, 02:17 AM

I'm taking a bit of a gamble on the green thread poly

If it holds up & dosen't bleed through once the resin is applied I think the rod will come up very SpoofyLaCockaSun

Posted by: It'l Do Mar 20 2008, 02:58 AM

Jumpy,

Can you use your megapoodle camera on macro and take a picture of one little fishy for me. Might have to do it during daylight. Nice colours.

Posted by: Christos Mar 20 2008, 03:08 PM

I have been clearing up my old stuff and cleaning up the house. I have found things that I purchased and never used. All sorts of stuff. Anyhow getting back to fishing stuff. Well it is very hard to get rid of fishing stuff as I find I might need them in the furture?

If you are like me then yes you are in a lot of trouble. I wish you good luck.

I have been avoiding bait and tackle shops so that I do not purchase any more gear. As for K-mart, Big W and Target, I see seem to be in the fishing department when I visit the shop for sometime else. So far I am happy to say that I have not been tempted to purchase anything.

The itch.

There is a new bait and tackle shop on Forest road (Sydney) and when I drive past I keep thinking to stop and visit. So far I have avoided with one excuse or another and I am running out of excuses. Lucky for me I do not have to drive along Forest road very offen.

Got around to taking some pics today

The Spin stick




6kg Bait Stick



Pair of them waiting to go fushing

Posted by: It'l Do Mar 22 2008, 04:36 AM

Jumpy, I wanted a close up of the little fishies wrap. I worked out how to do the Eagles.

PS, that Browing bags been in a few photos lately, when can you take the wraps off? I though you mentioned it before but what is in the bag?
And don't tell me it 3 chooks and a duck, I can't see any feathers.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 22 2008, 04:50 AM

The Fishy design is a wee bit more confuciousrus Blind Fredd & you may need a guide dogs assistance to work it out

rod in pic was the 1st time I'd attempted that design in 15 years & wasn't all that pleased with the tails

did another one which got poly all stired up but as I'd said earlier colours didn't come out the way I liked them B4 the resin the rod is still spoofy though.

Just finished the lastest & think this will the best of the lot will post pic after resin.

I'm supposed to be trying out the new reels but haven't been doing a great deal of fushing of late & better start pulling my finger out.

Bags are on the reels cause I'm not allowed to show them off till they get released

Posted by: MartinF Mar 22 2008, 05:17 AM

Wow.. that must really make the fishing a lot more difficult, having to keep the bags on all the time

Posted by: It'l Do Mar 22 2008, 05:24 AM

Get off that V stuff. Not only is it bad for your health but also your wallet. I nearly fell over when I saw the price of it.

Just put your little boat in and go out for a few hours. You can always come over to the Hacking and throw in a line. I'm sure you said you have your passport.

Posted by: It'l Do Mar 22 2008, 05:25 AM

I'll pay that Martin. Only wish I though of it.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 22 2008, 05:29 AM

Not Weelly Martin

See wen I catch the wittle Fishy's I put them in the bags so they can do weetle sleepy's

Posted by: It'l Do Mar 22 2008, 05:38 AM

OMG , the little fishy's have now seen the new reel, bye bye little fish.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 22 2008, 05:43 AM

The Jumpus Allways Bags Out

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 24 2008, 12:39 AM

Well the lighter spin sticks are now complete so watch out for my old ones in the New Auction Forum

The 2 new 3 kg spin sticks with wittle fishy's on them & the one on the right is a factory made Browing would have loved to have gotten my hands on those blanks but no can do.

Posted by: kkw Mar 24 2008, 12:55 AM

He does the same thing with his women....

Posted by: jasonb Mar 24 2008, 12:56 AM

dont ya mean his blow up doll kk

Posted by: ocsawdust Mar 24 2008, 01:21 AM

You guys crack me up. Gonna have to ckeck into shipping to the states for one of those rods.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 24 2008, 01:53 AM

ocsawdust !

These guys are a bunch of Bastards cause they're allways picking on me

They are all jealous of me cause I'm a Chick Magnet

The rod on the right The Browning IM6 is a superb rod all the Fuji gear on it , full cork etc & over here it's sold with a hard canvass carry bag.

Retails Aus $250

Be alot cheaper over where you are bigger market means cheaper prices & yes it is available in the States

Rod itself is a joy to spin with , very good for tossing those very light SP's it's action allows you to really whip out the hard body lures as well I was really surprised how far I could whip them out

Posted by: jasonb Mar 25 2008, 12:42 AM

yeah true he is a chicken magnet

Posted by: ocsawdust Mar 25 2008, 12:57 AM

Lot's of fishing materials are shipped out of socal.





Bill Shedd is part of the wsb operation. Awesome guy. He even gives us drinks at the meetings he hosts at his place @ Aftco . one cOOL place/ guy! Toured it a year ago, wow is all I can say.

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 25 2008, 01:14 AM

Aftco is good gear & I use it on my game rods

Just started using the Aftco resin & not bad stuff either a bit slower curing time than the previous resin I was using but the aftco seems to be alot clearer

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 28 2008, 03:57 PM

My new 10 kg bait stick is all done

Posted by: nimrod Mar 28 2008, 04:29 PM

Hey jumpy, don't suppose you have a 15kg blank you could put up for auction. Or a decent built rod.
I need to build a new rod for a tld 15.
If I can't get a decent blank, I might have to use one of my old ugly's for the time being.

Frank

Posted by: Jumpus GooDarus Mar 28 2008, 05:20 PM

Frank you've no idea how many of those I do have but you'll just have to wait cause I dont want to flood the place with rods.

Worked out I'll only be putting up a couple @ a time instead of bombarding the Action forum

Think there's 3 or 4 / 15 kg sticks sitting here & if you give me a bit more info on type of rod I'll put that one up 1st

The one in last pic ???

Well nothing like that one I built that one purposely for oneon the new 6 : 1 overhead reels due in shortly the boys tried swiping the rod of me as well

Just about to head out now for a fush, built up a new 3 kg stick each for them & they're like wittle kids with a new toy & have been nagging to go try them out, mind you they've got a warehouse full of rods which they never look twice @

Nothing like having your own personal gear

Posted by: nimrod Mar 28 2008, 06:31 PM

Jumpy. Was thinking of a 15kg 6' 6" med/heavy fast taper blank that I could build myself.
As for pre built rod, it would have to be similar function as the above, overhead of coarse.
I am going to use it for bottom bashing with tld15 and 30 lb braid, in bepths between 80-160 metres.
Any shallower then 80 metres and I use my spinfishers, any deeper then 160m and the deck winch will come into play. Or my crab pot recovery system that I am going to make.

Hey. Also looking for large deck winch.

Hi Frank

Thought I would come on board, looks like there are some good topics on this site. Jumpus builds a mean rod doesn't he?

Am thinking of selling both of my boats (the Seafairey and the smaller alluminium estuary boat ). Had a ride in Jumpus's boat and was impressed enough to consider getting a bigger platey.

Still have those two reels for you. Will drop them over in the not too distant future.

Cheers Mate.

hi haji mate can i have a little information on the little alloy boat ..... i am still looking for a car topper ......... thanks heeps ...



p.s i am quintrex101 incase you did not know



cheers,

Posted by: Haji Mar 29 2008, 07:19 PM

Hi Daniel

The little boat is way to heavy for a cartopper. It has been extensively customised including bow rails with anchor tubes,under bow storage, anchor rope well, heaps of rod holders, long thwarts running lengthwise between the front nad rear twhart etc etc. It also has a you beaut trailer with teflon skids that make it a breeze to launch.

As I recall I posted some pics on SFF, cannot recall where but if you open all posts from me you should be able to find it. Maybe some pics with my post on the trip to Ulladulla with Bass Flicker.

Cheers

Haji
