Ill bet not......You married yet.........
The New Australian fisherman...........
Fishing in the blood, perhaps somewhere behind avarice..........unknown bait, unknown gear, unknown catch..........owns a mincer and wastes nothing.
Lessons learnt hard long ago...........
The Great Fisherman...
You done a thousand casts all day for a Barra at Lake Monduran, you're arms are hurting, but the 'Great' gets the only fish in 4 days, while trolling with rod in rod holder and 9th beer in hand.
The Teacher (my-father-in-law)...
A naturally gifted fisherman but has little patience for anyone that's not.

Got it in one chris...but I would be going the glass shoreline rather than the live fibre....for longevity. Have had this discussion many times over an ale or four. Very interesting slant on things. IF you had to have an outfit you had to use to provide a feed on a regular basis (forgetting sporting and ethical reasons - but staying within statutory regulations) which outfit would it be...then that would be my choice.
had my first go on an alvey since i was about 8 today , was a fun experience nothing better than a decent little fish going for a run on an alvey ill be looking into one of the new alveys very soon i think or are the older style the better ones still?
fishing is not a hobby , its an addiction.
my missus wants to send me to fishers anonymous
Your probably right there Greg, light mono off one of those is deadly in the rivers, Whitting, Flathead, Bream etc...... Just has a problem when you want to fish the snaggy country for Jacks etc. But a must have combo in any shed. I broke my glass one years ago and just use my Blackfish rod with Alvey for that stuff. Funny how now I have a boat and rarely fish from a boat it doesn't get much use. No chance of giving it away though.

As a kid, my only rig was a 10' solid glass rod and an alvey. Caught everything on it from whiting/bream/blackfish to jew/salmon/mullet/shark/tailor. Got stolen with my bike when i stopped off on the way home to go to the toilets. Still peeves me 28yr later.

Yup! Fully agree. Not bad on the boat either except that at 10 1/2 foot, they can get a bit ungainly if you have to untwirl line from around the tip when the line gets a bit twisty from not using swivels.
Must not bend the tip unnaturally by hand though. They snap like a dry twig. How do I know that?????!!!!!!
