    Not exactly ultra light but I do the same sort of thing with 10lb braid and trace on a Stradic 2500. I use 10 to 25gm jigs or sort baits depending on depth and conditions. Great fun. 270373 270374

    Yes, I've been doing quite a lot of this kind of stuff over the last couple of years, but I've reverted to using a more standard softbaiting setup in some situations as I kept getting smashed by...

    There was/is a slip on PVC suppressor made in NZ. I'm sure you could thin that plastic our heaps if that worked

    Luckily the only water course we were going to cross was a hosepipe at the woolshed. Still nearly got me though! Sent from my SM-G781B using Tapatalk

    If you know someone with calving cows at this time of year, see if you can get around the surrounding paddocks with a spotlight after dark once or twice. The afterbirths seem to be a real drawcard...

    Looks like an interesting design. It would be interesting to meter that against a more traditional baffle stack and see if its any better. I have found a wall thickness of 1.5mm when printing with...

    Been having some success. They are clever bustards though. Some hooks spook them, some don't. Some lines and set-ups spook them, some don't. Some bait drives them crazy, some sends them running. And...
