To spice things up a bit, we are having a stunt fishing challenge! Longest fish (no vermin, must be measured) caught on a $50 outfit. That's rod, reel and mainline, must be brand new, and bought for $50 or less. How's that for a toughie??!
So I need to source the best gear that I possibly can! Finding the fish shouldn't be too hard out at Flinders and Holmes reef etc, but I need the strongest gear I can get for $50.
If you are surfing the net, or your local tackle shop, and come across something, please post up a link, so I can check it out. Thank you!
Its my 30th next year and this challenge is perfect! I may modify it to something like the biggest fish on 6lb braid and a 2-4g rod on the reef haha

Good luck hunting some cheap gear bro!
