I personally don't use pulley rigs where I fish land based. No doubt they make casting a bit easier, but I'm not convinced they're really necessary along the channels on our main urban rivers - you just need a reasonably long cast to reach productive water with a light surf rod. The bigger issue is playing a big fish around structure landbased - be it pylons, submerged rock, or just plain old snaggy territory on the bottom.

I'm excited too, hoping to meet some forum members and gain some more experience over bent rods.

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 ;-)
Haven't got excited over Snapper season in a few years but this one I am looking forward to. Hopefully the weather comes to the party when I am able to fish.
