    I spooled up 8lb braid yesterday on my daiwa 2500 reel that’s matched to a 2-4kg daiwa TD Hyper Nero version I’m wondering what to use this combo for and the what lb leader I should tie on with this combo note I have used the rod before with a smaller reel and much lighter line and it handles large fish fine . Also I’ll write down my other combos to give a rough idea what I have combo 1 Shimano 1000 reel 1.5-3.5kg rod 6lb braid and 4-6lb leader combo 2 Shimano 2500 reel 2-4kg rod 10lb braid and 12-20lb leader note the reel has a lot of line capacity and the rod can also handle very large fish it handles fish more like a 2-5 or 3-5kg rod combo 3 daiwa 2500 reel more like 2000 2-4kg rod 8lb braid and ??? Leader

    Yeah I’m going good with the left handed reeling I really like it when you hook a big fish you have more control over the fish but I the only thing I don’t like you can’t feel the sensitivity in reel for example when I reel right handle I can feel the smoothness of the reel it feels amazing but with my left it just feels like a normal reel other then that I haven’t noticed anything . I’ll keep fishing left but if i don’t start feeling the smoothness in the reel .I’ll keep going but will switch back if I don’t notice any more advantages but for heavyweight gear anything above 3-5kg rods I will always have it left handed as you have excellent control over fish or then I’m fishing sooty Grunter even with my lighter gear it depends I will end up using both in the end

    I ended up getting j braid x4 it’s different to x8 the only thing I noticed is that it’s a not as smooth but other then that it feels and looks the same I haven’t went fishing with it yet but it feels nice I might switch to x4 if I end up liking it as much as x8 as it’s cheaper .also if you didn’t know my legalis lt is the lexa Nero lt reel it’s the same reel with a different name I also added my aird lt handle as I like the Eva knob

    I think I’m gonna get the j braid x4 today

    Unfortunately I can’t order stuff online because I’m on a extended holiday and can only go to bcfs tackle worlds and anacondas or any other tackle shops will keep in mind in the future

    What braid is $23 for 1km you can’t even buy a km of mono for $23 i never seem braid that cheap lmao .I only care about wind knots diameter and the strength and the overall durability and lack of stretch in braid that’s why I use j braid x8 and ticks all those boxes it’s a cheapish braid which is low in diameter strong doesn’t stretch and doesn’t wind knot . I’m think I’m gonna try the x4 j braid and see how I go I’ve heard it’s not as good as x8 but beggars can’t be choosers

    Yeah my friend found a set line once at my local spot that had been there for only god knows how long pulled it up to remove the line out of the water and a very deeply hooked over 50cm bream still alive come up that’s why I hate set lines so much because trophy fish can be caught on then and then Have to go throw a slow painful death as they die from deep hooking also ducks and other animals easily get tangled in them
  9. Brodie_S
    I can’t wait to catch a monster 50cm bream for team north

    It’s like 50-70% of reviews though idk if it’s worth risking $20 And usually when it comes to reviews of braid if one problem is common theme it’s not a good sign I’ll check it out I’ll probably end up buying it I’m gonna take your word for it wish me luck. I’ll either get j braid x4 or the pryml x4 as their both the same price
  11. Brodie_S
    Update I checked out the pryml stuff a lot of people say it snaps when casting you might have just got a lucky spool
  12. Brodie_S
    Ok I’ll check out pryml yeah I for some reason shimano’s 1000 reels have a ton of line cap . Hence why I don’t use 2500 reels for bream and flathead I use 1000-2000 reels

    I’ve always stuck to daiwa j braid x8 since it’s cheap $35 for 150m at bcf it’s also very good never had any issues with old or brand new works like a charm . But I’m looking for something much cheaper . I seen this kastking stuff before and have heard good things about it but never had the balls to buy it’s $15-17 for 300m I’m looking for 8lb braid to fill my daiwa legalis LT 2500 I’ve been told that the dye comes off quickly so if I get it I will buy it in white . If anyone’s bought this braid and used it I would like to hear your opinion
  14. Brodie_S
    What I mean by this where I am there’s only baby sooty Grunter in small puddles and also roach I’m waiting to get to the coast . So I can get a other massive queenie and submit for trevally entry
  15. Brodie_S
    Unfortunately I don’t know when I will be able to fish next hopefully soon maybe within a week or 2 unfortunately that cuts time for the comp for me
  16. Brodie_S
    What about Barra I thought Barra would be on the list ? I mean it doesn’t really matter but I fought it would be there alongside with mangrove jack
  17. Brodie_S
    That’s a pretty weird story hopefully that D$@;head gets caught
  18. Brodie_S
    Looks nice what tide did you catch them on I’m horrible at whiting fishing and most of them I get them then fishing for flathead or bream and whiting are sometimes by catch often underside? And info would be good
  19. Brodie_S
    Ok first day of comp starts today Northside for the win
  20. Brodie_S
    Only one more night till the comp . Doing another prefish today only been getting small bream queenfish and giant herring and some other fish but I’m going south again soon but not south of Brisbane
  21. Brodie_S
    Yeah I did buy a heavier setup a 6-9 graphite rod and a 5000 size reel but I mainly let my dad fish with what that I haven’t caught anything big on it yet just small queenfish . I like getting big runs and screaming drags on my light gear but I’m pretty sure my drag washers don’t agree with me on that one
  22. Brodie_S
    Yeah I’m pretty bad then it comes to English
  23. Brodie_S
    Yeah the queenfish taste really good fresh just don’t freeze them if you gonna keep queenfish you have to eat them on the day they were caught
  24. Brodie_S
    Sure will a big queenfish like that would do well on team north for the trevally speices

    Today I went back down to Cooktown wharf . Wharf was fairly busy no one catching anything but were getting bites . I defrosted some herring I caught the other night cut it into small pieces and baited up my 2-4kg rod instead of my 1-3kg try something a bit different I thought .was using a small hook 6lb braid and 10lb leader for Because of all the oysters and rocks and my usual 1000 Stradic fl I flicked my bait a couple of metres maybe 2-3 as my bait sunk to the bottom I got a huge run I set my hook then all of the sudden I get a screaming drag and the fish just doesn’t stop after about a 40m run in 30 seconds I start slowly winding the fish in and it goes for a few more shorter runs about 5-7 metres a couple people bring their lines in so the fish doesn’t get tangled as I bring the fish closer It’s a turns out it was a queenfish took about 7 minutes to bring in and other 3 or so to land I found a sandy bank and pulled the fish onto the bank and a massive queenfish was successfully landed . It took me 3 or so minutes to setup first cast I got the fish then shortly after killing and bleeding the fish I left I was their no longer then 20 minutes talk about a good session that ended up with a new PB fish was 69cm I wish the online fishing comp started today so I could put that in the trevally section for team north hopefully I will get another one like that for the Comp didn’t weigh the fish but was probably around 5-7kg the fillets alone were probably around 4-5kg
