I would Col
but being a Bionic connoisseur, you'd realise they dont make 10lb braid do they?
And I'm soooooooooo gutted by that. Inconsolable.

A Shimano Trindidad DC20 overhead
Not sure what rod I will get to match with it. Any suggestions? I have a 12 foot Wilson LiveFibre that will do the job and the Moonraker can also cast overheads, so that will do for a start.

Saltiga Maverick 4500 and a
Saltiga Maverick 4500 and a Combo Jerk in PE4
> Combo jerk is softer PE4 that knocks over plenty of fish yet delicate enough to plastic or spin with etc.
Id have a Stella either way but prefer the gearing type in the Saltiga.
Next is Saltist LD30 with PE3 to go on an old Sabre for bethnic species. Im trying to achieve a lighter rod with a softer tip rather than the snap back jigging broom stick which prevents scaring the fish at the first feel of the rod. Also a softer rod is loaded all the time to prevent hooks falling out considering braid has no stretch. With good knots more fun and not missing most good eating fish.

Divorce material..
Who said fishin was a cheap hobbie? Its not at all, $30k boat, no rod & reel combo under $500 fuel and bait every time we go out plus maintenace & improvements on the boat which never ends there is always a better bit of kit to make things easyer for us that we have to justify the expenditure for..
they the me BOAT stands for
B bring
O on
A another
T thousand
the same can apply for angling it never stops, But we love it, better than blowing it at the betting shop or on smokes...
By Hook or Spear, its all good..

Nothing!!!
Must have about 40 rods and 30 reels. Up here in Karratha only brought the ones I thought I would need. 25!!!!
But havent got the best overheads so a Alutechnos ALT 3000A with any rod matching, but with Alutechnos runners is the only changes I would make. Dream Fr004OSA but $$$$$ for both.
Over head currenly are a TLD 25 and 20, and a TICA. My father from Kalbarri lent me them!!!!
Dream on boy, the boss will die if I bought one!!!

when mentioning "best overhead reels", you seem to have mispelled "Accurate".
Easy mistake, anyone could have made it....

"Accurate" not in there
Alutechnos is. Sometimes Japan are beaten by something fishy and any Alutechnos is IMHO just the bees knees. Italy can produce soccer stars and bloody good reels too. Rate Alu much better than Accurate. Just wish I had the spare bling money.
Maintenance to the X stops in 2 yrs, and what I pay per month = 2 Stellas per month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers terrorist.LOL
Neels
PS Face burn is a problem and I just love that hide your face mask. Where do you get them, and why not try and get a fishwrecked one. We could then all become the terrorist on the sea and scare the boat people away.
Dont mind the look of the Accurate but Alutechnos for me.

I'm thinking a saragosa 6000 or 8000 on a monster mesh, loaded with PE3 for the exy comp next year.
I live with fear every day... sometimes she lets me go fishing.

Webby, that is exactly the rod Gillian uses for bottom bashing
Cant remember the Code of the Monster but she has a Saragosa 6000 (or is it 8000) on it and loves it to death.

Those Monster Mesh rods
are very under-rated. Used one at Exmouth this year and was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed.
Sounds like a sweet little combo Webby, but maybe consider down sizing the reel for a little better balance and run some higher breaking strain PE2 (~30lb). The 4000 is about half the weight of the 5000/6000/8000. Either way, it sounds good.
