 Re: What you bought over seas and why Got to agree Badger, a man with three boats like me certainly has the bug...  Generally rods are good if you buy multiple items, and you know your brands, as they fit into tubes easily. I usually negotiate a flat rate 1st Class mail postage and buy a few rods with my mates. The reels are always high end Okuma, a good honest brand I find and handle the hoodlums in the creeks up here.

Re: What you bought over seas and why Yeah DT & OT thats roughly the part... looks like my local Caravan accessory bloke is a rip-off merchant....They confirmed the price when I expressed shock...One thing though..I had one of my old ones with me and they told me it didn't need replacing.+ Definitely pays to shop around.

Re: What you bought over seas and why Jock & DT, there are some cheaper Chinese look-a-likes that I cannot vouch for (coz I don't have any idea) but I bought locally 4 of the genuine Yankee originals @ $45 a piece, see here.... http://www.caravansplus.com.au/catalog/ ... ucts_id=81
