Hey guys, after having spent the last couple of years on squid fishing, I am getting into fishing.
I was looking at this combo:

What do you think?
Should I go with braid or mono?

I assume this is a 7” 4-8kg rod and a 4000 reel?
This is fine for fishing PPB in a boat, mobo or braid is fine there depending on preference.
If you’re fishing WPB I would go heavier as you often have to fish heavy in the channels, braid is a must.
For land based I would go a 9” rod personally for better casting distance, clearing rocks, etc.

Thanks guys. I ended up buying this one:

At this at this price point there is not really much difference.
Do you use mono or fluorocarbon leader for snappers?

Re: Starting with snappers...any tips
I'd definitely recommend going fluro, around 30lb or so. It's well worth the investment if you're fishing a spot with rocks, structure, etc, but also abrasion from the fish rubbing.
