Hi Alan, I want to try and catch some Snapper and Jewfish , land based in NEWCASTLE, NSW. I've had a few locals suggesting 9-10ft rods and 5000 reels. This seems a bit excessive. I want to fish around the harbour and breakwall. What would you suggest? Thanks Evan

What lure/type of lure is in that demo video

@anthonybringolf Жыл бұрын

Love your show. How ever I am a bait and live bate fishing man. Every person talk about weight for the hook, but no one talks about the hook size to the lure size . can you tell me if you have a 4" plastic lure that you should use a 4/0 hook.

@fishingmad Жыл бұрын

Hi Anthony, generally speak yes a 3 inch plastic will be a 3-0, a 4 inch plastic a 4-0 and so on. It doesn't always work that way but its pretty close. We have some workshop in our members area specifically on that sort of stuff

Hey Alan, Do you reckon the Shimano zodias 268ML would do the trick mostly for kayak fishing and some landbased? Or should I step up in height to the 270L?

@fishingmad 7 ай бұрын

Yep 100% its a great choice I had one for a while and really liked it. Great length for the yak too.

@georgeboja 6 ай бұрын

Hi Alan, Could you please tell me what rod and reel you are using or recommend. Thank you.

@fishingmad 6 ай бұрын

You really need a fast action spin rod around 7 foot in length with a weight class of 3-6kg or 2-5kg paired with a 2500 or 3000 size reel. So many option depending on your budget. Popular choices are things like the shimano zodias and vanford combos, daiwa TD Black combos and there are some awesome hiugh end options like G Loomis NRX. We do have a members area which has a section called gear guides which helps with gear choices that might be worth looking at.

Hi Allan I just wanted to ask what's a great reel to put on the savage gear lrf ccs 2-4 kg rod I finally found one. I caught my biggest flathead on that rod then I lost it so been looking for about 5 years I rate that rod. I'm not sure to either put a luvias 2500 on it the 155g one thanks

@fishingmad Жыл бұрын

Yeah those LRF rods are so light and thin so you will want something super light in weight. Luvias is a great option, Most other decent 2500 reels on the market weigh 180+ grams so thats prob your best bet. could also consider a 21 REVELRY FC MQ 2000S which weighs 165 grams and is a bit cheaper.

Hey Alan, could you do a video testing out the difference between a cheaper setup of monofilament line and a more expensive setup using high quality braid and fluoro? I think it would be really interesting to see the difference between the two. Anyway, great video, keep it up

I didn’t know you should use 3-6 kg rods for snapper?!

@fishingmad 5 ай бұрын

Yes, if you target them with soft plastics a fast action 2-5kg or 3-6kg rod is best you can go heavier if fishing offshore. If fishing with bait then you would go soft tip usually around 4-8kg
