    Show us your Fishing gear

    Those of you who are old enough may remember the Snapper and Kingfish secrets by old mate Geoff Thomas. As an impressionable young man I had to buy the Shimano Speed Master TSM IV as used by the legend himself. Mail ordered straight from The Fishing News many years before online orders. It was stripped down, drag washers all hand lapped and the Shimano fibre washers chucked out for Smoothies. This real is the Fighting Star version with near lever drag speed to wind it up. On the Calstar custom made by Leon at Rodworks (now no longer) it's a combo I love. Kings and big snaps no worries. Best snapper I ever caught went 22lbs and I horsed it all the way to the boat as I thought it was just another rat kingi.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
