If you read my post..properly. You'll see I what I was saying was, you can't unhook a deep hooked fish with a gemini disgorger because it's basically a glorified T bar, and i'm sorry to say.. they don't unhook deep hooked fish easily. Basic rule..if the hook is inside it's mouth...then (refer to my ...

Ok..first of all..before I reply to you I want to know....tell me how exactly, is unhooking a deep hooked fish easier with a offset? And I can tell you right now with the utmost confidence that unhooking a deep hooked circle is near impossible, unless you want to rip/pull/whatever it out of the fish...

Another way of doing it is instead of using circle hooks, off set the hooks too and that can be usefull too ;) The circles I use(mustad,sakuma,owner) all have an offset. I'd suggest that until you have used and caught on circle hooks...please don't comment on how having an offset is comparable beca...

In my (rather limited,although I have been using only them for the last few months) experience with circle hooks....whiting don't get on with them. I'm not sure what it is but i've still had one or two deep hooked so I stepped up to a 4/0 circle and have been having better results with lip hooks. An...

Greys rods are nice..can't tell you anything about that one but a friend owns a 2-3bze and it's very nice. One thing I didn't like about it was the foam grips..it's a bass rod and i'd prefer it more if it was shrink tubed. But the greyflex s is a bigger rod (13ft and around 5-6oz I belive?) so that ...

43ft?! that sounds very long to me. Wouldn't have thought it would cast very well but then...your using an uptider so I assume you are boat fishing with it? I stay away from tapered shockleader. 16lb at the thin end which will be less than that after a knot is applied to it. The knots might be small...

Slow or stop the spool with your thumb lol. No wonder you're getting overruns :P Don't stop the spool on the line itself but the edge of the spool. Don't over tighten the knob though. You'll crush the bearings. I like to have it set so that when I jiggle the spool side to side in it's cage you can h...

Best off trying the pier..I don't fish there personally as I prefer to go somewhere quiet. As for the cod/codling...lol..good luck. They do pick a few little ones up now and again by all accounts but nothing keep sized..you'll be weighing in ounces not pounds. The bay rabbi2 talks about is not as sa...

I like reading the mags. If I can't get out fishing i'll buy them and have a flick through. There are pictures of some spectacular fish(if you don't like the mag maybe you're jealous?) but also there are pictures of pretty humble fish. They portray the highs and lows of fishing. Also I like to read ...
