    Re: Solo Mission in the sticks and a 1 meter barra

    About the stickers all i can say is contact the company and with some polite chat you may pick up some great stickers.

    as far as the owners go and where do we go from there, I think we just accept that a few fish will be lost and stick with owners as in my opinion they are as good as it gets. Same as the leader problem. Alot of fisho's go for 100lb trace and still loose fish, i use 60lb and have only lost one fish to a bite off. But in the daylight personally i recon 100lb will cost me more fish in the way of shy fish changing their minds about the lure than actually being bitten off. So in the long run i will land more barra on 60lb than 100lb but i just have to accept that every now and then a fish will win its freedom. Same goes for braid, why go to 80lb??? i recon thats rediculas for a barra. 50lb is more than enough and if you loose the ocasional fish than accept it as part of the game. Besides most reels and rods built for barra arnt meant for 80lb.....
    Keep the sport in it and acept the occasional loss. But personally i think in the long run lighter traces and braid will produce more fish and owner trebles will handle 95% of barra.
    Just my view

    Mate, i reckon you are on the right track

    I use 50lb Fins and 80 lb leader, still get cut off with the gill plates, no problems with the braid though

    And you are right about the rods, most i have seen are no more than 10 kilo sticks, 50lb braid is just for the abrassion qualities in the sticks.

    The owners are the best and also the stickiest, just pick a lure up and the hooks grab you

    Might see you at Monduran one day soon, its been 12 months since i was there.

    Cheers mate and good luck with the Barra.
