So after winning a trinidad A in the raffle, I decided to settle on a TN16A. This reel will only be used for Steenbras fishing but I needed to match it to a good rod. I decided to do a "dummy run" on my poseidon light which will be solely dedicated to this reel and steenbras fishing. The pics...

So for the past month I have been watching a group of anglers fishing in the harbour(obviously have permits) and I must say that I am rather concerned about the handling of the sharks and rays. I have been watching them for a month now and this is what happens. I have been told that ALL fish...

I have a poseidon light and medium. I want to replace the grip with velcro. I have just covered the EVA with the velcro and found it a bit thick. Off with the velcro and then sanded down the eva. Velcro back on and much better. However, I want to extend the grip another 100mm or so. What would...

After scrambling through some "recent threads" I noticed guys were catching kob in kleinbrak river on rapalas. Surely this is banned from ALL Hessequa rivers which includes kleinbrak river.

I am not a non-eds fisherman. Has anyone thought about this configuration on their non-eds rods? Apparantly, you also get up to 7 -10% more casting distance and alot of improved pulling torque. It has become very popular for jigging and some say that its the new generation for big fish rods...
