Preferably a 400 HG but may consider other models with around 40" per handle turn retrieve rate. PM me

Daiwa has been used one season and is in perfect condition. Excellent casting reel fully loaded with new 0.5mm 19.5kg line. Has scratches but that's unavoidable with rock fishing. Fully serviced and smooth operating. R1 500-00 Okuma has been used, is factory magged...

A friend of mine is looking for a 49(a) in good condition as a collectors item. There must be many lying somewhere unused from the 60's and 70's Anyone?

I want to build another rod on an "old" style Graphcast 4 blank. Not the new blue type. I have the latter and have now broken it for the second time. Will consider buying a complete rod and re building it or relieve you of an old broken one.

I am looking for a blank to build a 80lb Tuna Popping rod of about 8 - 9 ft that can cast 100 to 160 gr or something like that. The blank will probably have medium action and probably a 2 piece with removable but section. Obtaining blanks from manufactures other then the two locals, has...

Am looking for a Shimano Tranx500 HG reel in any condition. Will pay fair price.

Am looking for a SL50SH reel (in any condition if price "right") PM me Thanks

I own 2 of these reels. The one I have always been very happy with, but the second has given me all sort of niggly issues, of which the main one is a noisy cast. I use the "better" reel on a boat with lighter line (0.42 mm) and casting weight (55gr) and the noisy one on a shore rod with 0.5...

Was around Arniston to Agulhas area for a few days of relaxation the past week.   Although I left rods art home, I could not help but notice how many were fishing in a manner that would indicate Galjoen as the target.   I asked one guys and he was proud of his Galjoen catch and not in any way...

We took a few days break to go an look at the Goukamma Nature reserve near Knysna.   There is a 14 km stretch of fairly unspoilt beach largely inaccessibly by vehicle and where only shore line fishing is permitted.   A mate of mine who goes there regularly says the fishing is excellent and he...

I needed to update phone numbers on my phone and remembered the anti poaching number on Sealine.   I dialled the number to check and guess what..........It rang for 30 seconds then died on me!

I've had this little reel for many years and used it for a variety of (generally) light stuff and always enjoyed it.  (from Bass & Carp to Yellowtail) It now has a problem with the anti reverse bearing which is rusted and does no longer hold very well. It seems that it does not have a anti...

Here is the whole story!

Some advice please. My radio, Plotter/Sounder  etc. are wired directly from the Starboard motor. When starting that motor the plotter goes down then takes 3 minutes to get back up and running again, a problem that I did not have in the past, so I know it can be wired differently to overcome...

I wanted a reel that was smallish, light in weight, (graphite frame) had a shoulder on the spool for my thumb, at least 6:1 retrieve, casts well, all the modern gadgets like magnetic cast control, AR bearing oversize handle, and preferably not as expensive as the big brands. My research led me...

For years I've made snide comments about carp anglers,.........to Ryan and all those involved in the noble art of Carp angling, sorry!   They are difficult bastards to catch! The past week Ive tried my hand at catching a Carp.   To me its something new to learn and I like trying to figure out...

I've found these boots to be excellent for my purpose, they last a whole season, don't slip, have very thick soles, but I can never find them in Cape Town when I want them. It's a South African product, does anybody know where they are made so I can buy a dozen in one go without driving around...

During the past week end some guys fishing for Chokka in Simonstown were told that the season for Squid is closed until 22 November. I have never heard of a closed season for squid and  have looked at the MCM brochures (it looks like their site is under construction) and can't find any...

I went to try the new pricy Trini which I borrowed from a friend especially for the purpose.  I don’t think this one had been fished yet.  It’s a sexy looking reel, not that I am impressed by looks.   First of all the drag feel very strong and smooth, though I did feel I had to tighten the...

I started tagging only about 3 years ago and have probably tagged 40 or so fish.  I have also returned details about 2 tagged fish I caught during that period, one of which I caught past Friday. I hijacked my own thread and for those of you who may find the information useful, here is some...
