  1. If its got that helical grain that it sometimes has then yea you need some mechanical advantage . Split when green as it goes off like concrete .
  2. I have a mint condition Peetz centerpin reel made in Canada . Wood and brass . They are not cheap either . Well respected over there .
  3. Gonna say the same . Big lump of flash were the core has not shut off .
  4. Fast growing whatever it is . looks more of a soft wood to me but I am useless at theses . I am going with White Spruce .
  5. Nice fish . It must be nearly 40 years ago that I went . I was on mono then and never had a problem with it going down the side of the rollers . There was a braid called " Dakron " at the time but I never used it . Our skipper used to give a 2 hoots as we drifted up to the wreck so we could winch up a bit and jig over the top and then 1 hoot as when we were clear to drop down again . he was watching all the time on the Ferograph . We would do several pass like that until the tide went slack . Then we would change gear and fish into the wreck for the congers . Then wen the tide started running the other way we would drift it again for the Ling ,Pollack and Cod .
  6. Thanks for that . Was looking at the new Ugly Stik elite ( supersedes the GX2 ) . This has stainless eyes all through . What would you say the problem would be with braid and rollers ? Will it jump into the gap ? I thought there were braid specific rollers nowadays ?
  7. Ok . If you are really not happy doing it get someone in to drop them . It will take the a few mins . You can then sned all the brash off and ring it up . I could tell you how to do it but I won't as you seem a bit nerviness about tackling it .
  8. Used to do a bit of wreck fishing years ago . Thinking of getting back into it . Got a 50ilb class Ugly Stik and another 30lb class rod . All roller tip . Penn Senator 9/0 and 6/0 and others . What braid are people using now a days ? Thinking 50lb and 30lb .
  9. I don't see it as a problem if the owner has said you can have it . Can you not ask him if you can fell it now above the fence ?
  10. He has done more grooming that the local poodle parlor . I bet this is not the only one ....
  11. He says he has behaved foolishly . I think he means like a pedophile .
  12. I think the ivy is acting as a ratchet strap ?
  13. I think that is being very unfair on cheese in general there Mick . I would venture they have the tensile strength of sea water .
  14. The idiomatic translation would be " veste patate " ......
  15. Go on Khriss hit me with the bar covers thing ?
