if you want casting distance then use a 10 or 12 foot rod, not an 8 footer. and use a simple paternoster rig if you are just starting out.TheLoneTurtle wrote:Oh my god...
Snapper season is only like 1-2 months away :super: .
I am going shopping tomorrow and i would like to get a land based rod that can handle snapper up to 4 kg and also a good reel for casting.
Thinking about getting a 2.7 meter Shakespeare rod from Anaconda for $80. Also anybody know any good snapper rigs for the season?
Anyway so i am pretty much just getting prepared for the season
Might do a bit of landbased this year....seems a lot more sociable and I don't have to clean the boat!purple5ive wrote:Its mainly for landbased mate, you wont need it on a boatMattblack wrote:How good is the lead up to snapper season....I love the planning and renewed optimism.

So you bought a boat so u can deal with knobs at ramp Instead lol...purple5ive wrote:Ahahaha reminds me of the good old pier days, and also last weekend when I decided to go to Mornington Pier and fish land based for a change.
Due to the weather there was only about 5 people fishing the pier Not even a few casts in and some guy comes and fishes closer to me. (he did keep distance however)
My line goes tight and I figured must have been stuck on the bottom, and then a familiar tug. Turns out the guy was using a Big hard body and had hooked my braid.
Anyway he said he can untangle it no worries, luckily at that stage it was only his leader and my braid tangled, what ended up happening made things even worse.
I told him as soon as I started to see thigs go pear shaped, just cut your leader where it joins the braid (as it was closest to the tangle) and pull the leader through, it’s the quickest way.
But Noooooo I just bought this shimano ocea braid for $150 and im not cutting it.. guy ended up wasting a good 15mins (of prime fishing time as the sun was setting and it was getting dark) ******* around trying to untangle it, and eventually had to cut the leader and do what I was asking him to do earlier
If he did that earlier I wouldn’t have to then deal with windknots in my line and possibility of me losing my squid jig (if that was flinders, kiss that jig goodbye)
If your on here mate,try not to be a d*** next time and do whats best for the situation.
Reminded me why im glad I bought a boat.
