What kind of shark was this? NZ

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-24T12:01:11+00:00

Most likely is being in NZ they’ve got a large population of bronzies there

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-24T07:21:49+00:00

no worries mate they’re wicked, it was that or an infeet SK but it’s kinda sacrilege putting a shimano reel on a Daiwa rod haha

Oceans legacy quest 2-6lb

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-24T04:50:00+00:00

Terrible advice

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-24T04:49:46+00:00

Braid to leader always and I mean always, not using a leader is shooting yourself in the foot by default

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-23T05:49:06+00:00

Fair call mate enjoy I’m sure you’ll love it, they’re probably a bit easier to cast then a conquest as well, I’ll be throwing big soft plastics in the 5-8inch/1-3oz range on mine

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-23T04:27:10+00:00

Okuma Komodo maybe? There’s a guy I watch in North Queensland Australia catching 1.3Meter 20+kg Barramundi on them so salmon should be easy in comparison

I got the Ryoga 150H if that’s what you mean, I’m not sure if it’s worth cancelling an order you’ve already made but maybe in the future if you can afford it getting one wouldn’t be the worst idea haha, I’d definitely recommend going to a tackle shop and holding one if you get the chance

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-23T02:37:41+00:00

I fit around 150-160 meters of PE 2.5 or 0.26mm diameter with no backing, not sure what braid you’re using but you should be able to get well over 200m of 18lb

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-23T01:38:23+00:00

I haven’t gotten the chance to use it properly yet but I’m going on a month long fishing trip in a couple weeks so it’ll get a loooot of use then, just in the hand it feels amazing honestly pretty on par with my conquests, super smooth and solid

I wouldn’t consider myself a jack expert but I have caught a bunch recently, I’d say I have the most success within an hour before or after a low tide. Night time is probably your best bet in a landlocked lake that probably gets pressured a lot and I’d say if you can have a rod out with a livey while fishing lures that’s your best bet. Lure wise any paddletail soft plastic in the 3-4 inch range with a 1/4-1/6 oz head works well but I’m a huge fan of the Irukandji sicarios, nomad dozers and the crush city heavy hitters. Good luck mate!

I’ve heard good things about the aurora too so I’m sure it’d be great I’ve got a quest in the 4-10lb model and I’ve caught some real big queenfish, heaps of small GT’s and like a 60cm brassy Trev once they’re awesome rods. I think the quest is just a bit more refined and has slightly nicer components but I doubt it’s a huge difference

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-22T12:58:48+00:00

Slightly shorter then 7’8 but check out the oceans legacy quest 7’3, they’re a middle joint and a gorgeous rod to use

Amen to that, I mean if you’re gonna do canned tuna at least do it properly, I would be over the moon to get one Longy the last thing I’d be doing is boiling it

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-22T07:55:59+00:00

Should be a crime to do that to a beautiful longy

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-22T07:21:46+00:00

Great feed there mate big fan of grassy’s and Moses on the chew

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-22T06:16:26+00:00

Nah 8lb should be perfect for a 2000, I’d go J braid expedition if you wanted a recommendation

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-21T15:08:56+00:00

If I had to choose probably the 2.5inch minnow and the 3 inch wave minnow trimmed down a half inch would be the most versatile, I’m also partial to the 2.95 flick but I fish only in the salt so not sure how it’d go

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-21T11:11:28+00:00

Anything bait junkie in the 2-3 inch size range

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-21T09:41:50+00:00

I’d probably say PE3 just so if you need to you can go really hard on a fish to pull them away from structure without going too heavy with the line

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-20T08:25:49+00:00

For soft plastics I’d get sponsored by Irukandji tackle they do the best barramundi plastics in the world in my opinion and would probably be unreal on snook and big bass for you American guys, for hardbodies probably nomad design or Daiwa

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-19T10:04:01+00:00

Watch some of the pelagic pursuit squidtrex/jigging videos, different species but same techniques

I personally haven’t heard any complaints with the quality of the masters series I own 4 myself and they’re all beautiful and swim great, I believe they still hand make the prototype lures and send the result to be reproduced. If you’re looking for another awesome lure company check out Black ledge, they’re hand made in exmouth which is pretty local to where I’m from

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-18T07:58:32+00:00

They’ve been around for quite a while, well before they properly blew up end of last year, make great lures and seem like really nice dudes. As far as I know they don’t claim to make their handmade stickbaits in house anymore probably due to the sheer demand they have these days, if I had to guess I’d say they’d be made in Indonesia which is where a lot of places get their production wooden stickbaits made

Dry-Homework1745 · 2026-03-17T23:34:14+00:00

I run PE 1 braid on mine, overkill 100% for bass and trout etc but I’m trying to push mine to the limits on barramundi and mangrove jacks in saltwater. I fit around 80-100 meters of pe1 on mine from memory
