  1. Mani, bear with me on this pal, the “Ugly Stik”, spinning rod or boat rod? Spinning rod I guess, can you post a link for me?
  2. Going back to basics Mani, what class rod? I’ve just bought a 30lb boat rod (cheapo) & was going to run with 50lb braid, 100lb trace on some ½ decent beach casting multipliers I have back home that never get used, I don’t have any of this kit with me, it’s all been posted back to the UK, I’m still using hand lines & a bunch of shite assorted lures I bought without knowing my arse from my elbow but after having lost a couple of Dorado & loosing almost everything else to Cuda its getting personal. Managed to click with a supplier in the States who is going to ship to one of the lad
  3. Thanks for that Mani, night shift so I’ll get right on that. Already got an order in for Mustad trebles sizes from 2/0 - 8/0 & some single hooks 2/0 65mm & 70mm, swivels 2/0 & a few rolls of 100lb trace wire so any advice that would be welcome. No idea how heavy these fish are but they are all around 1+meter in length. Also got a few pals grafting with me who live in South East Asia & the US who will fetch & carry to keep the overheads down on P&P / taxes etc............looking into that at the moment
  4. Cheers R, got a bunch of those………or did have, they do the business with Dorado but see link below, these are perfect replicas of the real thing. Tried the real thing yesterday (dead) after one got washed up on deck, lasted less than 30 seconds when it hit the water, Barracuda shredded it but never took the hooks. Also tried a bunch of live bait from small tuna & some other shit but those big tooth fcks just cruise right up & blank them or nip straight through the 80ld line above the steel trace & swivels…… http://www.halibut.n...uper-Squids.htm
  5. Chimp Choker! South of the mighty Tees my mate, far safer than the north bank! It’s safer at graft than it is anywhere near Hartlepool……………...mind you the local militia are a bit rowdy & the “real” fishermen are all pirates!
  6. I'm not a real fisherman so bare with me on this, I’m struggling to get my hands on decent size lures, Muppet's or whatever the fck they call them. I need some squid looking type that are around the 10”-12” mark, good swag not the shit I've been buying on EBay. They are for Bull Dorado & more specifically Barracuda which is what I interested in, both of these fish are giving me problems, the Dorado just straightened the hooks when they get sick of playing with me & the Barracuda just keep cleaning me out, they take the tuna off the line, hooks, lures & 100lb wire trace in some case
