    Hey Buddy,
    I have a light but simple estuary set up.

    Berkley Drop shot 6'8 3-5kg rod
    Daiwa Excellor 2000 with 5 lbs Braid
    Leader 6-8lbs
    Jig head 3/8 TT
    Plastics- 2 1/2 Atomic paddle tails in fluro green and black dots

    Burley_GU is worth talking to about this as he is a silent achiever. He is always sending me lots of pics of his days out but rarely posts his sessions on here. Give him a PM I am sure he will spill his guts to you.

    Cheers
    Marty
    Living the dream, Barry

    Re: Favourite SP setup for Your estuaries

    I usually take 2 set ups out with me

    1: 7' Pelagic 1-2kg rod
    Black marlin 1000 reel with 2lb braid and 4lb flurocarbon leader
    1/8th jigheads or 1/12th.
    2,3" gulp wrigglers and 2" baby prawns. (although my bro inlaw now makes his own wrigglers so mainly use them now)

    2: 7' pelagic 2-5kg rod
    Pelagic 2000 reel with 4lb braid, 6/8lb leader
    Same stuff on the end but although not plastic i usually put a little blade on this one.

    I've got two:

    Rod: Shimano Sahara 2-4kg
    Reel: Shimano Sahara 2500
    Line: 6lb Fireline
    Leader: 15lb Black Magic Flourocarbon
    Lure: 100mm Squidgey Fish in Killer Tomato, 4" Gulp Minnow in Newpenny

    And...

    Rod: Strudwick Sicstik pro 1-3kg
    Reel: Shimano Sienna 1000
    Line: 2lb Crystal Fireline
    Leader: 6-15lb Flourocarbon (depending on the target)
    Lure: Rebel Pop-r, 50mm Squidgey Stealth Prawn

    Yet to catch anything other than undersize flathead on the second combo, but looking forward to having a bit more fun on the 2lb braid.

    Cheers,

    Once again I am impressed..how do you remember the make and size of line on your reels? Rods..I would have to go and look to even know what make they are.

    Its true pinhead, I actually scare myself sometimes I can remember that but have trouble when the wife asks me to do what ever it was she asked. I even think the wife knows what is what in my collection - I think its to ensure I don't slip another combo in there LoL
