Hi guys I want to buy a rod to replace my old fibreglass 'bait collecting' rod. I was thinking someting in the 8 to 9 foot range. The rod will be used to catch anything from mullet (using tiny driftbaits) to shad (throwing whole sardines on drift). I also sometimes play around with these...

So I got a bbm message on Saturday afternoon from a mate who told me about a fish he got earlier at Cintsa on the Wild Coast, and boy what a fish it was!  I just had to share the story with you guys: Taking the weekend off and making a trip to Cintsa for some rest and relaxation, the guys...

I know I'm not the first one to do so, but I just wanted to say thanks to Old Salt (Jonathan) from another satisfied customer. I took my reels (20/40 and a SL50) to him last week and got them back in no time.  I'll go so far as to say that the reels are in a better condition now than the day I...

This query is probably aimed at admin more than anyone else.  Today is not the first time I have had difficulty with the search function.  For example, I want to know what the best tackle bag/tackle box is, especially for league angling.  So I type in the search criteria and get 150 results...

Hi guys I have asked many experienced anglers this question, done plenty of research and thought about this thoroughly, and I still change my mind every second day...  Which one, in your opinion, is better.  For arguments' sake lets say they cost the same.  (PS sorry to the Daiwa boys, but I...

Hi guys   So I've been playing around with the idea to buy something in the likes of a TN50, TOR50 or some type of leverdrag reel in the same size class. Do I really need such a big reel though, or would my money be better spent on another Shimano 30 or Daiwa 50 size reel?  I mostly fish off...

Hi guys Just a quick question.  What is the best price you have seen for the new Penn Torques?  If I can't get one locally at a good price I'm going to try out the Ebay route, which I'm reluctant to use but it seems to make sense.   Regards Marius

Hi Guys   I have noted that the tackle stores in the States price both the TRQ40 and the TN30A at about $450 to $500.  Why is it then that the TRQ40 is so much more expensive than the TN30A in South Africa?  A reputable dealer in SA asks R5000 for the TRQ40 and R3600 for the TN30A.   I know...

Hi guys   I've been living in Cape Town for about 6 months now but unfortunately don't get much fishing done.  I went twice on the weekend however (first time targeting edibles) and managed this Gallie of 38cm FL, 41cm TL on the West Coast.  The fish was not released.   Tackle used:  Purglas...

Hi Guys I have recently relocated to Cape Town and I am renting a place near Sunset Beach in Milnerton.  I was wondering, to start off with, if fishing is allowed there and then what the target species could be.  I have searched the topic and the only real answer I could find was steenies. ...

Hi guys   I have never liked the idea of fishing of the pier but I am desperate to get a pull as I've been fishing hard lately without any show...  So I have a few questions: 1)  Where (which direction) and how far should I cast? 2)  Are there bricks or reefs on the water on which I'll snag...

Let me start of by saying that I am merely trying to help my fellow sealiners, this is not intended to be considered advertising. Well I have found a tackle shop with the Finnor 30 ofc's. Its a tackle shop in the Westering suburbs. Details: M S Baits , Cosmos Street 5 , 082 719 8076 (Snorre)

Hi guys. The first time i went shark fishing i caught a shark of about 30kg, and some guys identified it as a 'spierhaai'. As what else are these sharks known?

It's me again.... I think I'm doing something wrong. My sl50's drag does not want to tighten properly and my 2040 almost wanted to seize the other day! What is wrong? How do you treat the drags on these reels? And which parts need oil and which need grease? Which have to stay clean? I...

Hi guys What type of casting technique do you use and what type of distance do you achieve? I have tried all styles and I'm still not getting what I think I should. I'm probably not doing it correctly, so please, any advice is appreciated. I get about 130m max. I really want to go to...
