Re: Bimini twist

I use it to tie make doubles in the braid before the shock leader on kingfish gear and making doubles in 15-37kg game gear. With the braid its an insurance should a fish run through the kelp and reef and its extra stretch on the mono under heavy drag loads when close to the boat.

For all the hoohaa the royal commission bought about, is it just the cynic in me that feels it was nothing more than a little tuneup for the big 4 where the most ridiculous practices were exposed and ceased, and a few top line execs fell on their swords. Meanwhile it's business as usual, mostly reg...

Re: Foxes in your neighborhood

Hit one at 100km/h. Split it in half, 4k of damage to the car (Subaru Liberty), blood and guts literally everywhere like it was blown up by a bomb. That one wasn't so smart and cunning Not so sure about that he didn't have to reach into his pocket. :lol: :lol: I reckon I have seen more foxes in bui...

Re: Stereo Headphones?

Even better would be to sew in some rigid hoops so the net can't collapse on itself and gives the fish room to move Slimies are very fragile and are comparatively energetic when kept ...
