Get various halco twisty metals according to your rod's casting capabilities. And just cast and cast and cast.
You can find aussie salmon in a lot of places atm.

thanks, would my catana spin rod with a 2500 size reel and 6 kilo braid do the trick?

[4liters]

9 to 10' spinning rod and a 4000 size reel is the way to go.

Smaller reels don't tend to have a great retrieve speed so you'll find yourself winding really hard to get the lure moving.

What 4litres said

Longer rod gives longer casting distance too, cast heavier metal lures to cast further.

For piers and jetties are okay to use 2-4kg rod and 2500 reel, cast 10g metal.
But for bigger stuff, off the surf etc, I'd say 9ft and 4000 reel, 15lb line, to cast 25-50g metal lures.
