new setup for slugs & poppers in the seaway ???

[haglor]

hi all,

i am after ideas for a new outfit for casting metal slugs and large popper across the seaway for tailer, gt's and tuna if im lucky. all the gear i have is super light finesse stuff for bream and it is impossible to pull a decent fish up through the rocks.

looking at a budget of about 300-400 hundred thanks to kevy rudd

also any sugestions on a line weight would be appreciated, im sure my normal 2lb main line and 3lb leader wont suffice lol

cheers dave

hey mate i would personally go a size 3000 daiwa sol on a td advantage with 15 pound braid and 20 pound leader

hope tht helps

go into anaconda and check out the mojiko 12'graphite coastal cannon surfrods they are great

they also have a great 10' glass and graphite rod that casts slugs a mile

or if you are a bit more oldschool have a look at the gb2070 high mount uglystick teamed with a shimano tss4

Hey mate, I'd go with a Shimano Symetre 4000. Match this to a Shimano 2-5Kg, or a 4-8kg Starlo Stix. Spool with 20 Fins Original PRT braid and don't forget leaders. I'd be using a 20lb leader and even 15lb in clear water days. All for around $300

I'd go with what TomW said, except, if your budget allows, maybe get either the Saros or Stradic. Both are a fair bit better thaan the Symetre

Get some 40lb Black Magic Tough trace as well, just to help with hoisting fish up the rocks
