Wow 1 cast 1 fish 👍👍👍 need to check your reel ya.

[@grunty3743]

Hey guys, do you prefer using cleats or shoes with spikes.

[@indosydneyfishing]

@@grunty3743 cleats bro. Easier to clean, compact small and cheaper.

[@grunty3743]

@@indosydneyfishing where would you get em from

[@kelsonzin]

such a bummer when the reel is not working during the bitting time....have you had it checked and find the the cause? I guess it might relate to the megaseal.

[@indosydneyfishing]

Yes bro, Daiwa replaced the handle and I think the gears inside, but it was quite quick🤙

Hey mate, Just wondering what life jacket u r using when spinning the rocks?

[@indosydneyfishing]

@@tristanlobo8597 Hobie bro.

[@shorejiggerchris3364]

Is the saltiga 6000xh good for jigs or should i go for 6000hg?

[@indosydneyfishing]

XH supposedly better for shorejigging landbased since it requires faster line retrieve. The H more to slower retrieve lures like bigger soft plastic or live baiting.

[@shorejiggerchris3364]

@@indosydneyfishing i wonder why your reel failed so early

[@indosydneyfishing]

@@shorejiggerchris3364 I had it serviced and Daiwa rep it was the handle that somehow failed. So they replaced it and now all sweet

[@shorejiggerchris3364]

@@indosydneyfishing i believe that the gears failed.Anyway it was a bit weird

[@win5201314255]

[@indosydneyfishing]

@@win5201314255 hey bro, I wasn’t sure what actually broken, but Daiwa replaced the gears inside. It is now worked flawlessly ☺️

[@raschellesherwood6347]

[@raschellesherwood6347]

Was this up sydney way, because there is absolutely no symbos or Bonnie's at kiama all the way to windang

[@shaifyson877]

I've been getting them at wollongong dude early nornings last one yesterday Ur right but I think there has been more fish In. Sydney ATM the daytime fishing is hard atm

[@raschellesherwood6347]

@shaifyson877 really ? Ok roughly where ? Like Port? Or Wollongong itself? Thanks for info.. I e actually been to mermaids inlet jervis bay all the way to windang breakwall

[@shaifyson877]

South Beach North end early mornings and of the breakwall at the harbour this chill has really made it hard lately

[@shaifyson877]

Mates have caught a couple at bass Point not as many as usual and port breakwall has been shut recently

[@raschellesherwood6347]

@shaifyson877 yeah but the warrawong side is still open and good to use

Rip Saltiga, at least it got its last fish. Hope you get it fixed soon

[@indosydneyfishing]

It fixed already. Daiwa has replaced the handle and gears inside. When it comes to Australian warranty, Daiwa is top notch🤙
