    new snapper rod

    picked up my new g,loomis pro blue 15-24lb rod today and its such a nice stick, very well balanced with the sol 4000 so hopefully this can add some more pressure and spot me from getting busted of by those big nobs of tweed

    nice combo. i have the pro blue 15-30 with twinpower 6000 ; even this feels a bit inadequate on big snapper in bad country.

    Thats some fairly heavy artillery you boys are using on those Snaps. I'm looking a perchasing a new plastics snapper outfit in the next few weeks and I was thinking about getting something around a 3-6kilo with a 2500 size reel. Should I be getting more fire power????

    must have hooked him on a sandflat or perhaps had a lucky daywe have all had great captures on light gear fleety like 94cm flathead on bream gear or 10kg mulloway on 10lb leader around oyster pylons or 32kg mulloway off breakwall on platic by me personally. But my opinoin is light tackle and snapper around bommies and reef just dont mix. pound for pound one of the hardest pullers out there. just my opion.
