my new toys just in time for snapper season
hi
i had a bit left of my bcf card so thought i treat my self and would go buy a few things ready for snapper season.
first was Lowrance Hook 7 Combo to help find some snappers since i sucked last 2 years lol
http://www.bcf.com.au/Product/Lowrance- ... etargeting
second was Shimano Raider Spin Rod 2 to 5kg with a Shimano Stradic Ci4+ Spin Reel for squiding and bait catching.
third was a Rogue mesh Landing Net
hope this helps this year.
good luck to all and safe travels

nice one, if you cant see them on that, then they arent there. Haha. TBH, you will be able to knock snapper over on that combo too.

Yeah mate if ur chasing in ppb I'd be using that combo on reds! I use heavy sticks for the very tidal wp but ppb has next to none
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!

I see they still sale the Elite 7 wich i believe is exactly the same as the Hook 7 witch have been rebranded, and it is about $100 cheaper?
