A Few More Options

[Jumpus GooDarus]

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

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.

I'm back @ it again

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.

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

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.

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.
