Dont care if they're fake. They're good!
Plastics / jigs are fake too, but they do the job of getting the attention lol.
I'm not sure how many fish I'd catch but it would be a great day never the less

I have some old Mitchell spinning reels from the 60s here They were Dads so Ill just keep themQuote:

My thoughts would be specialist blackfish ( ludrick reels ) you don't cast as such . Pay out a bit of line flick and move along with the tide .Quote:

TD - The reels were my gf fathers and he loved his fishing at any opportunity he could get when life was quiet on the farm. He had quite a few rods too of various sizes, which tells me he had a few species in mind for each rod. A bamboo / cane style of beach rod, a boat rod, 10 foot rod which is getting new guides etc attached to it at the moment and another rod of about 5 feet long.
Gaddy - I was told by an employee at a fishing store he thinks it was to do with blackfish (Ludrick reel), but wasn`t sure as he hasn`t seen a reel like the one I had. He had said to tug a bit of line out and drop it in to the water. On the web, there`s a site that shows how to cast some thing similar to the reel I have and I`ll know for sure when I rig it up to a rod if it works. Another site said some thing about streaming a bit of line off at first and flick it out, but may be difficult if doing it on rocks when waves are washing over them, as it may tangle the line. I`ll have to buy some new line, as I have used up my 600 metre line of 25 Lb (14.4 Kg) on an Alvey.
I still have dads full fibreglass surf rod its a Jarvis Walker "Kilcunda"
early 60s maybe even from the late 50s
which ironic as that where I grew up. Ive had it fully recoed and will never part with it.
Also have a full fibreglass Jarvis Walker Black Queen still the best bream trout rod IMO.
None of those hollow fibreglass rods back then.
We used to make our own surf rods from a single piece of Indian bamboo 17' to 19' long
Got my self some Rui Fishing squid jigs.
Heard they are fantastic on the squid and thought I'd give em a try.
At $10 each. I couldn't say no.

Does anyone know the brand of those white rods the guys from
All for Adventure use they have that knob on the butt.?
looks like a great all rounder to have in the Arsenal
They were sponsored by Wilson .
I bought an Alvie reel a couple of years ago and love it. Use it with my surf rod all the time. Nice and simple. That's the way I like it. Lol
According to their web page they use shimano gear.Quote:

three dogs - All it has on the rod is Angler Rods, Black Magic Extra, Made In Coloundra, Qld, By Richard Hilton. FUJI. On the handle where the reel sits, it has Fuji Reel seat 22 and that`s all it has. The length of it is 302 centimetres long, which is near enough to 10 feet and is a two piece rod. I`ll take a photo of it one day and post it up. Apparently Richard Hilton of Angler Rods works with Ken at Pacific Composites from what I have read on the web. It must have some age to it, as it was my gf fathers rod and she has no idea when he bought it. I can`t ask him either, as he`s long gone now to ask.
This time next week I will be on the Cobourg Peninsula!!! Can't wait!!!

My dad (85) has just handed over his ancient but in good nick, Black Queen Deluxe.
No reel as it hasn't been used in 20 years.
Any recommendations as to a suitable reel?
I have no experience as a fisherman, in fact I am lucky to catch a cold in winter, so I will be asking a few questions here in the future.
4WD and fishing seem to be a natural pairing.
The state your in is the best for fishing variety , from trout and Redfin in the south to Barra and Mack in the north , you buggers are spoilt for choice .Quote:

Yeah caught some small ones like that in Broome , made good bait , nothing like a livey under a float .
Are there any numbers/weights marked on the rod? If it's the same as the newer one with that name that googling turns up (8' 2pc 2-6kg) look for a 2500-4500 size spin reel (depending how much line you want & your comfort with the weight of the reel) with 8-10lb mono line. I use a Daiwa Saltist, but this may be a little on the topside of what you'd want to spend if you don't fish much. Penn Spinfisher V might be another to consider - but again maybe pricey for your purpose.Quote:

4x4 and fishing definitely go hand in hand. The harder it is to get there, the less it should have been fished (in theory anyway...)
