watching your video Wow.
As if I was there living every minute of it, can't be any better.
What a place for fishing.
keep on the good work you doing, with some more of that.

Yes we get them here in suburban lakes mostly during summer.

I don't know about carbon insert.
I have done fair few from old broken rods matching inside diameter and taper with araldite then binding the joints for more strength.
I would like to see yours.

Used to fish for Murray Cod in dirty water.
The popper used to leave slime line on the water, 7 out of 10 hits was a miss, unless the fish follows the popper then it was a hook up.

Paul I have few reels not using any more I can send.
There was some thing like this for CXI they were asking for prescription and sun glasses do you need any of them.
Where can I send them.

Success Paul.
