I use an FG on all my sets (other than deep water electric where I have no leader).
IMO, the B2B Uni is one of the easier knots, but also the worst. There are plenty of knots I would use instead.

Re: No fishing
How many swimmers and surfers need rescuing each year? How many kayakers out for a calm paddle need rescuing? The numbers aren't really comparable. FAAAAR fewer kayakers out compared to swimmers and surfers. I'd probably suggest kayakers need rescuing at a higher ratio. Coming into winter, the numb...

Re: No fishing
It's your call mate, but it goes against the advice of all the emergency services and the government which has finally got it's advice straight. I feel your pain, I really want to get out for a fish too, but have decided against it. This may help you to make up your mind about how to play this one....

Re: Daiwa lexa
I really liked my Lexa, until it fell apart lol.
Currently use a couple of Catch reels now days.
If I wanted one to do strayline, slow jig and light mechanical jigging, I prefer my JGX2000 lever drag over the baitcasters I have.

Re: Faulty FF, or just me?
I’ve taken my 7X HOOK2 off the stealth before I sold it due to the thing showing the screen like that. Even tried it off the wharf with the transducer on a stick , no better. It’s never worked properly since the first time I used it. Marine Deals have $600 off me for nothing but an expensive box th...

Re: New Boat Taking On Water
Thankfully you noticed before you left!
My boat has 6 bungs (not all of which I actually open), so I have to go through and check them all before launching. Water moves through them damn quick

Nice one mate - I think kingfish are some of the most fun fish to catch. I've always done better with Jigs personally, but in close like you were, the livies seem like a good plan.

Thanks for the advice. :y: Can I ask, what is it about the Lowrances you don't like? Re: The GT52 and the GT51 yes, but as my Kayak is not really an offshore model, I'm not likely to need the extra grunt of the 51 as I'm unlikely to get to fish, in much more than 100~200 feet let alone 500 or 750, ...
