View Full Version : Sweeeeeet Bit Of Gear
Picked up the zillion 100hsa from the shop on Friday, after the carbontex drag washers were fitted, then took the plunge today and brought an Egrell B8-5 to marry up with it. Old mate knocked 40 bucks off the list price, thanks very much to the Tackle Warehouse at Cooparoo.
Spooled her up up with some brand new pink bionic 30lb braid and had a little flick in the park down the road, and let me tell ya, this is one very nice set up.
Bring on those big Monduran girls
cheers

Sounds like it will be a deadly combo mate.
I'm in the process of getting a zillion PE special to hit the Barra too. If Optimus Prime was a fishing reel, I think he'd transform into this...........

yes mate they are nice reels i own the same with 30lb bionic do the new washers give you much more drag then the standed washers or just smoother ?
flairj, nice bling mate, mightnt help you catch any more barra, but geez youre going to look good havein a go mate
BK, I believe the original drag washers were fine, but susceptable to a bit of stickness in some reels, so I didnt take a chance, just changed em.
Will let ya know how they go, hopefully, in a few weeks
Its actually the rod Im most impressed with, just dry casting in the park it feels right
cheers
