Was passing Bodyline today & dropped in to have a look, they have their Kayaka range available in limited no's at moment as plan to do a full launch in a couple of months but they showed me what they had made up. The longjohns are 3/2 mm & are $ 180.00, the shorts are about $ 140 or $ 160 & I think there was a top as well. They said if anyone wants anything made up that is not in stock they will measure & wiegh them & make it to suit.]]> Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:59:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28905&PID=430861&title=tackle-talk#430861 <![CDATA[Tackle Talk : If my wife found out how many...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28905&PID=430317&title=tackle-talk#430317 Author: Contract

If my wife found out how many rods & reels I have, I would be facing divorce. I have Okuma, Penn, Abu, Shimano, Daiwa ~ you name it, I have probably used one. My all time favourite would be a Shimano TLD15 ~ I bought in The States about 23 years ago. I bought it with a Shimano "Beastmaster" rod and this combination is still the most versatile & reliable rig I have. I have tried to buy another of this particular beastmaster, but they have stopped making them.
A long way back second is an old ABU 6500 matched to an old "CD" Albagraph rod.
I don't think it is coincidental that my two favourites are "oldies". Just about every recent reel I have purchased, has turned to ****e on me. More moving parts = more things to break. The trusty TLD15 & ABU 6500 are still around. Says something for their pedigre ?

They appear to be discontinued.

My most abused reel (because it was cheap) on the yak is a shimano sienna and it is still going strong after several dunkings in the water. Because it has so few bearings, it is very easy to maintain (which I do myself).
For the boat, it is hard to choose between my Shimano TLDs and the Daiwa SLX for overall robustness and ease of servicing. They get a fair bit of seawater splashing on them too.

Nice one Bush, I like that rod and I've got two of those reels... not much help to you but I'm going to be selling one too

Militaris, which silstars are they mate, do you know the models? I'll service them of course but if something can go that long without on a boat (presumably) then it should last on the kayak i would imagine ]]> Sun, 06 Jul 2008 09:29:27 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28905&PID=429906&title=tackle-talk#429906 <![CDATA[Tackle Talk : So your a butt man Bush........I...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28905&PID=429887&title=tackle-talk#429887 Author: piwikiwi

Badfish.

My dad has several silstar reels which have been given a real beaten over 15+ years and they are still do the job. Never been serviced, they have been using for most types of fishing and have gotten wet quite a bit.... 

Quite amazing for such cheap reels.

was on my way to play footy today and just happened to call into the local.  walked out with an abu 7000i, okuma braid concept 10-15 kg 6.6 2 pc rod and 8 kg BM braid.  A little heavier than i wanted but shld be good to fill one of my 5 rodholders that milkey likes and good for deep water and chasing some bigger fish.  butt seems quite long so may need to shorten it at some stage. ]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:52:08 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28905&PID=429843&title=tackle-talk#429843 <![CDATA[Tackle Talk : Afternoon lads and ladessessesss,...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28905&PID=418520&title=tackle-talk#418520 Author: Badfish

Afternoon lads and ladessessesss, just curious....

What's your longest lasting reel? Serviced a lot or never at all....
I'm trying to find the most robust reels available for my spare set ups to lend to mates that take out our other kayaks.
I'm thinking my longest lasting most robust reel is the Shimano BTR4500 or the TLD15, although I've had the Abus for pushing 10 years now they're not exactly stock reels anymore with basically every bearing, drag washer and disc etc etc being upgraded.
Thinking about going back to a charter special or a daiwa SL20-30 too. These reels served me well in the past but I know things have changed.


So tell me what have you used and abused that still works por favor.
