[Shimanobwoie]

Just curious what everyones biggest fish on bream gear is. Been thinking about taking mine out on the and seeing how well it goes with the reefies.

Its a mexican raider 2-5kg with 2500 seido reel with 4ld braid

well that depends on what you call Bream Gear.

Ellicat fishes with 50lb and catches bream.

74.5cm lizard on 8lb fireline/8lb trilene on 6'6" SicStik and 2500 regal Xi 5 mins tops. Great combo. I miss it since it sunk after the great one capsized us.

[eg_vtec]

98cm threaddy on my tcurve 2-4 and 2000 sol. 6lb d sensor

[elops]

Noticed that every one is refering to "4 lb braid" in this thread ?

Does 4 lb Fireline count as 4 lb braid ?

[Cowfish13]

I'm guessing so, but shouldn't matter too much.

60cm Cod on 4lb braid, 6lb leader. Swam about 10m up a pipe and I had to get him out haha.

64cm Giant Herring

48cm Tarpon

38cm Jack

All on same gear. Not as impressive as some others though :dry:

[snapsnap]

60 cm jewwie the other night on 2 kg line!

great subject topic!

[Terry H]

I do'nt use fireline.

on 4lbs:

42cm bream

72cm snapper

53cm grassy

on 8lbs:

76cm mac tuna

96cm flatty

[Angus]

My beat is easily my 72cm Jew on 4lb Braid and 6lb leader on a 1000 Twin Power and 1-3 Kilo rod.

Aside from that, some Mack Tuna at straddy, Spangled Emp and other randoms. But the jew was a highlight for me.

don't really own bream gear, but got a 105 or so treddy on my old battler kingbolt, 4-10lb rod

i miss that stick been using a 6-12lb tailwalk baitcaster since, more or less behaves like a bream stick, very fun matched with a little baitcaster

u can have a proper crack at my steez kingbolt next time mate, a much better stick than the battler

[mick fillet]

got a few bullies around a metre at kooka park on 3 kg line 3-5kg rod but the trace was 28lb nylon coated wire. so its not really caught on bream gear i supose when ya using a beefy trace like that.

[ellicat]

well that depends on what you call Bream Gear.

Ellicat fishes with 50lb and catches bream.

I rarely use anything under 10lb as it's too tough to see it to tie knots :blush: I never target bream and have never caught one on the 50lb rig, but I have managed to troll up two grinners on it with a Crazy Deep :laugh:

Shimanobwoie, I think you're main problem would be line capacity if you're fishing deep. I'm sure you'd be wasting a lot of petrol chasing any decent kingies or AJ's on real 4lb though. You may have a chance if the back gets sharked :whistle: :laugh:

big call old mate, i had a very special relationship with that battler

[elops]

The reason I asked the the 4 lb Fireline question was because you can push 4 kg of drag on it hardly bream gear IMO.

Use 4 lb Fireline a fair bit myself.

4lb Fireline leader to suit.

Snapper 82 cm

Jew 1.12 m

Thready 1.07 FL

Longtail 1.18 m

Bream gear Loomis 8200s/Airity 2000, 3lb Crystal, 8lb Harris, bite trace to suit

Milk Fish 1.25 m+

Longtail 8.7 kg

90cm Queenfish is mine, followed by a 80cm Thready.

Yer i've been thinking the same thing about the line capacity. I work on a charter boat so its not to much of a hassle about fuel. When we get a few kings ive noticed in the 30mtr range that they've been coming up to the boat when we have multiple hook ups. The only problem is that i dont want to interupt the customers ans make sure they have a good day out on the water is more important then me catching fish but in saying that by the end of the day they start to get alil tired then we return back to the shallows and might be able to get a crack there.
