My plastics rods have a 2500 stradic / 3000 daiwa ballistic and bait rod has a 4000 shimano exage with 10-15lb braid. I fish pretty light from the kayak, generally on 2-5kg or 3-6kg rods.

I know this question has been asked in the usual "what rod and reel should i buy" but I am looking for more of a tally for what other fisho's are choosing to use for snapper in PPB.

So the question is"

What size reel and line are you going to tackle PPB Snapper with this season?

For me it's Shimano Baitrunners 8000OC's with 20lb mono.

Considering purchasing two new ones in the 4000 or 6000 size and use 12-15lb mono for a bit more fun.....
complete angler have them in there upcoming sale

PPB, 4000 stradics with 12 lb mono, don't need anything heavier than that in the bay.
Western port, different story, but still mainly fishing mono.......

I use 4000 size reels for snapper fishing you really don’t need any bigger i like to keep the outfits lite as possible when fishing.
