You know, it’d be cool to restart the running total that we ran at the start of this thread, waaaaaay back in the dark ages!
Hmmmmm.....how about, for a start, 2boxes of jigs from Weihai Songhe, $430.
$430

Let’s see if we can keep this running tally going eh?

Just finished sorting out the new toys, got them all tidy and hung up at last. I haven’t added the value....kinda scared to frankly, but this is how it looks at the moment.....


......
So..... I think I have the whole jigs thing sorted out, lol. Now....what next!? 😃🤔

Sort them into coloursSmile
When you get bored of that, try sorting them into lengthClap
Oh the possibilities could be endless!

From a person who has never used these things, why so many? My wife goes bananas at me because I have 6 rods but only use 2(Trusty and Faithful). How many do you actually take out with you?Just a curious question Captain

Just me going out by myself......five or six sets. Light spin set, slightly heavier spin set, heavy spin set for poppers or whatever, light jig/trolling set and heavier jig/troll/ bottom fishing set.
Jigs.....usually have a fair selection on board. Last trip out found the elongated diamond shaped jigs was turning on the kings, shame they were all just rats.
I seldom strayline from anchor......for seldom, read never actually, I like playing with intereesting new toys whenever possible 😊

On the way home today from a Tauranga harbour Mish I stopped into Smart Marine and picked up 2x Shimano Status 24-37kg Bent Butt Rods.
I've just finished rigging them, with Tica WS50R 2spds hoping for weather to suit a Mish this week 😃
Last week I joined an Anti-Social support group........They won't talk to me!

Oh Yeah....... Finally got my hands on one of these totally gorgeous little reels.
And as a bonus, it's boxed with all paperwork and oil, and in mint, like 9.8/10.
Almost going to be criminal to fish it, but wasnt brought for a show piece.

Sooooo Happy

Now I just have to find a 5!

Dammit pics not loading. So as not to overexcite you all with the suspense, it's only an old blackboxed Tld 10. But it's mine!!

Well for some a TLD 10 could be a collectors item, they are no longer made.

I have one with a power handle on it ApproveCool

If you are after a TLD 5 let me know as I know someone that may part with it if you cross his palms with gold.Wink

Al, are you referencing my tdl collection.

Although recently unused, they are as they should be a reliable lever drag tool that still works.
The full set of trolling fives I use are just fun as are the others.
They just work.
I think I like there simplicity and longevity.
Easy to maintain.
And work well.
