Tackle Tragic’s Unite

[GregL]

lots of nervous twitching
I've been going pretty hard on new gear over the last couple of weeks myself.....but I hasten to add that I am trying to stock up now, for the series, rather than keep buying stuff in dribs and drabs (more trips to the shop = more 'extras' I probably don't need.....well, thats my logic anyway ). I've also had a really good run of work over the last 3 or so months, with a couple of good size 'cashies' that have come in very handy...
Nevertheless, if the missus finds out, the Smeg will be DEAD!
I would love to have photo's, but my camera is away for repair...
Anyhoo....here goes.....
22 packs of various Squidgies
17 packs of various Gulps
A dozen or so packs of various jig heads and unweighted hooks
4 spools of braid (Fireline and Stren microfuse)
5 Blades (Ecogear, TT and Strike Pro)
3 Teimco Stick minnows
2 Lucky Craft sinking prawns
Lowrance HDS5X sounder (mmmm )
2 Stella 1000fd's (oh my god - still coming to terms with that myself )
And also picked up a new custom Millerod BreamBuster XF Classic to add to the quiver.

Now, you just watch me donut for the whole series!
I shall now scurry away and hide under the mountain of debt I've just created.
Cheers,
Smeg

You have made a mistake there rowan, all those packets of banana prawns an no packets of peppered prawns. Can tell who fish's the clear water of pittwater a lot. Get some peppered for when it turns green mate Mine haven't come in yet there on order, but there my secret so you won't get to see them anyway Cheers Dave

If they are good enough for the "Fishin Guru of Narrabeen Lakes" Dave they are good enough for me. Thanks Rowan, now I know what I'll be using in that ABT round. Or did he post this just to put us off the scent? Bastard, now I don't know what to bloody do.

Shit, dunno about fishing guru or the lagoon, thanks for the pressure !
Dave's right though, and the Lake is looking a bit murky at the moment after that rain last week, not sure if it's currently open either. Banana Prawns are a favorite, though they're just one of a small selection of goodies I keep permanently stocked...

[bpmick]

been stocking up also over the last few months:

Over 70 packets of Gulps
40 packets of jig head
4 x new rods (wilson)
1 x new reel (diawa)
6 x braid lines from 4lb to 20 lb (diawa,Fins,)
12 new lures
10 x sqid jigs
and I am Sure there is more

I should spend more time fishing and less at tackel shops

cheers Mick
You know its a sickness

[Occy]

Thanks for nuffink Rowan. After all I've done for you and all. You are indeed a sick bastard Mick.

This is what i've collected since January. Don't want to think about the number of lost....

Topwater


Divers


Have another 2 boxes same size one full of jigheads, the other full of beach fishing gear. Oh and a wallet overflowing with soft plastics.
Not to mention yak pimping, a second yak, 6 rods, 6 reels, 3 nets, numerous pliers and braid scissors.

[dishley]

Geez looking at that i've lost a lot of topwater lures.

[bpmick]

Boy am I sick I was in a tackle shop again today. Oh well only a few lures (6) today and a new net.
I think I need to fish more.

cheers Mick

Tell ya how sick I am Mick, I bought the October issue of Modern Fishing (which I never usually buy), just because it had a lure attached. Nice lure actually (Yoshikawa 120mm see through cigar shaped floater, parts made in Japan, assembled in PRC), so for $7.95 it's worth taking a look at. Don't buy it for the magazine though because it's crap. The main articles (if you can call them that) are short, poorly researched, and many are in reality just advertorials. Seems like a lot of the fishing mags are going that way unfortunately.

It's off topic, but I agree Occy. Much more helpful info on this very forum...

Mini "sammy" from Jazz, luv dem top water lures

[Buff]

I HATE windy days, you cant get the Yak out and this only leaves one option to get a Fix and that's to drop into my local Pusher (tackle shop)

Had ordered in some lovely Atomic K9 Pups for some surface work

Mat Ayu, Dark Shad and Ghost Wakasagi


While there another customer (and Tackle Tragic) had ordered in some Atomic Shad50's and with a couple leftover they were looking very forlorn and lonely and needed a home

Ghost Silver, Ghost Wakasagi and Dark Shad


God I hope I can get on the water tomorrow

Buff - you've .........mounted them !

Definately a worrying trend. Is there anything you can do for this mounting obsession ?

Don't know if its an obsession or just a hopeless case of tacklnitis
But your got to be careful of the Trebles when you do mount them

[fishnut]

I bought those same top 3 Atomics myself the other day Buff and am looking forward to the water warming up so I can give them a swim. I see we have the same dealer, that is really tragic .
