Submitted by DieHard on Sat, 2009-12-26 17:10
Hey guys/girls
have any of u people been catching some fish lately at hillarys marina (Northerb Wall?) might go there for a whole day on monday can anyone tell me wat to expect (not going for any rays be the way; might do it maybe) so i can get a wiff on how to prepare my gear? (The lighthouse still have those baby pinkies?).
Also anybody been catching some decent fish around Mullaloo point (landbased) and Ocean reef harbour?
All comments appreciated!

diehard the 220
will not hold very much 50lb mono at all mate and overall is not a good casting overhead... i wouldnt be very keen on fishing 50lb braid on one either. The reel is simply not designed for that sorta work, would wear out very quikly with that sorta pressure imo.. cheers.

if u were talkin bout a penn GTO 220
all i can say is cheap shit, get a tld 25
my GTO 220 has had the mount break about 4 times now, but oceanside fixes for free, and it takes 5 mins to fix, its just inconvenient. other than that its a nice reel and it works fine

if your buying a reel
if your buying a reel (spinfisher, boat reel etC) you can source combos in tackle shops. for just a lil more money, you can get a rod suited to the reel.
