Starlo's rod selections

[Andrew D]

Hi Guys,

About a month or so ago there was a story on one of the WA bream/fishing sites about the rod set ups that Starlo takes to a bream event. I wanted to show a mate but connot find it anywhere. If anybody has seen this could they please post it up. Thanks a lot.

That was in the ABT 2003 Tour Guide, a copy of which can be downloaded in Adobe PDF format from:
http://www.bream.com.au
Look for the ABT 2003 Tour guide link at the top left of the main page. "Tackle bags of the pros" is the actual article you want.

Interestingly, this morning www.bream.com.au is missing in action. I assume their hosting provider is having trouble.

bream.com.au is having major problems :(

What that info basically shows is there is no "zone" records for the doamin. Either the providers web server has died in the last 24 hours or the domain has been removed :(

Hey speaking of rods, I saw a pic in Queensland fishing monthly (I live in WA, but my dad sends them over from qld) of 3 of the top guys at the Mallacotta bream round. They were holding some of the 37 :eek: rods they brought down between them. That's around 12 rods each. I don't own 12 rods in total, let alone just for bream......well not yet anyway.

Now if only I can convince my gf that having more rods will put me higher up the placings!!

jimi are you talking about the 2003 tournament diary by jason medcalf.
april edition,
the pic of tim morgan ,peter morgan and trent buttler with the 36 rods they took to the clide river event,, then they had the glenbawn bass comp the folling weekend.. i bet their is a bit of money in all of those combos, probs upwards on 800. each..

Hi Dan, this was in a newspaper type thing called Queensland Fishing Monthly. You're probably right about it being the Clyde river event, I can't really remember now.

Yep, all the rods would've been top qualiy stuff, with decent reels attached. I would love to have half the gear that these guys use. :D

Cheers
James
