Neville Haglund:
Hey Nathan,Merry Xmas mate.
Any chance of you giving me an update on exactly what your land based set up consists of,reel rod etc.There are a few places I intend going to where a land based set up would be a good idea not to mention taking the costs of a charter out!!!.
You are so Lucky having GT'S on your door step.I have to get on a plane and fly 3hrs due  North or 5hrs Nth Nth West.

John-Pierre Nicholls:
Hi Nathan
How do you find casting lures on a overhead reel using braid ? I have done a lot of shore based GT popping , but with nylon on my overhead reels.
 I also agree with the casting distance being longer than with a spinning outfit , but , I haven't mastered the casting of braided line on a overhead reel . For me the braid tends to loosen itself after a couple of casts and then a BIG mess in the line tends to follow. What is the secret ?

cheers
JP

Gary Krol:
slightly off topic but how have you liked that new Saltiga? 

dante green:
It seems that it is practically impossible to find a 9ft (no more and no less) heavy duty popping rod for shore :(

Anyone here know of any other 9ft rods? 

Sydney Neal:
I have a EP 90/37 ICBM on order its nine foot but more for casting sticks and it ain't no heavy duty rod, 8foot6 is probably it in a heavy duty rod and my fisherman big game 86rs is a serious bit of kit that can flog a heavy popper out there and make them pop
