Gday, I know this sort of thing gets covered a bit but i just wanted to list my rod and reel set ups for fishing the southern GBR (Swains) in July to see if I'm on the money and get experienced ausfishos advice. I have been before so i do have some good knowledge about this but sometimes i get tunnel vision or tend to overcomplicate things. Last time i think i used the wrong rod/reel set up and got bricked a few times. I guess I'm looking for the best avaiable package to take.
My setups are as follows
T-Curve Deep Jig 400 OH (rated to 37kg) matched to a Talica 16. I want this set up for most of the bottom bashing i will do as its a nice heavy short rod with a great reel with big drag. I'm thinking about running approx 80lb braid with 80lb fluorocarbon wind on or just a three way swivel set up. Will be chasing reds, RTE, trout, perch, etc. live baiting also.
Northfork Composite Gary Howard 30lb matched with a 8000 stradic. running 40lb braid (sunline super PE?)and also 40lb mono (Schneider Pink) on a spare spool. Used to throwing soft plastics and having a bit fun with lures and maybe some floatlining. windon or PR Knot with braid and straight through for mono. Leader Im not real sure about?
T-Curve Bluewater Spin 15-24kg with 24kg low stretch platypus pink for float lining for mackees, live baiting and trolling (?). Spheros 14000 reel. Maybe throwing poppers and stickbaits. ????
I will be taking some premade wire traces with hay wire twists 69lb for trolling xrap 30's, mack baits and live baiting and other mack lures. . deep v reefmaster hooks, some PE tackle flys, jig heads in 7/0 8/0 1 to 1.5 oz. lead.
Does anyone see any problems with these setups? Appreciate any responses.
Cant wait to go.
SIDE NOTE - I think there is two spots still available on our charter for 20th to 27th July on Kanimbla as of last week. Let me know if you are interested.
Re: Rod/Reel setups for liveaboard fishing Sth GBR
Sounds like you have it covered. If I changed anything, it would be the weight of the mono on your Spheros to 15 kg. 24 kg might be a bit hard to cast with.
