    I have a 14 foot Jarvis walker revenge. Not that sure what the line on it is. Whatever the whacked on there in the shop. My knots aren’t amazing but I’m getting there and I’m targeting basically anything that’ll bite so far! I’ve tried a few spots so far with not a lot of luck. Took the kids out to wainui beach but the swells were pretty big and I couldn’t cast over them. I’m basically looking to get a few tips from someone who knows what they’re doing and hopefully meet some good folk on the way

    Yeah I’ve seen those. Look like a fun option for getting right out there

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
