Cheers Dave

Forget both of them Dave - if you can spare an extra $100.00 go get a new Stradic 6000 or 8000 - all the new enhancements, they are awesome!

Cam Foley:
Even the sustain 6000 or a spheros

Brandon Khoo:
gees David - at the rate we're going, I might as well just suggest you buy a Stella!!  :D

Yeah it's a snowball effect.  ;)

Look, I like to buy the best gear as much as anyone.  I have stoked up from virtually no GT gear to a big investment (for me) for this trip.  Seeing I couldn't get anyone to come along, I'm going alone and chartering everything solo, so a few Japanese lures and another decent reel, may (will) mean be the cost of a charter for a day.  Although I understand the resort skippers may be a tad flexible and forgiving, the charter costs are going to the bulk of my $'s spent and I have to budget.

My Daiwa BG60 did dissapoint last time and needs replacing, and I think it is worth taking the Nitro for the lagoons etc .  I'll see what Santa brings or the post Xmas sales, so maybe even Sphero's or Sustain  ::)
Main thing is get out there and enjoy it to its fullest. 

Anyway, gotta go...I have some weights to lift...   :-\

Cheers Dave

Hal Harvey:
The Okuma Salina would be the one with the best line lay system. It has plenty of warranty but with yak use there's no substitute for keeping everything running in grease and oil.
