Ultimate bream luring outfit

Hey Zeeke,
Why did you go with the bigger 2500 sized stradic on the 6'6 Reaper?

And spike which one did Chris use in this yr's final? The heavier 2-4kg stick i am guessing (n.b. why was it reported that he was using the 7ft model?) Either way, both very sweet broomies!

Leet, i use the 6'6 reaper as my main hardbodys rod, i find with the 2500 spool, it'll spool the line of more neatly then the smaller reels will with a hardbody.. less twist if ya know what i mean.. .. still get great accuracy and long casts.. can usually hit a coffee cup from 15 meters away..

Rodger that mate.
Just wondering, on your 7ft and 6'6 Reaper how long can you cast a 1/16th jighead?

[Zeeke]

7fter i can knock out a 30 meter cast fairly easy.. on the 6'6 i can cast a bit further.. different length rods.. the shorter ones seem to be more solid and force a lure out further, the 7fters seem to be more distance and accuracy.. also the action of the rods have alot to do with it.. the 7fters are a medium fast action where as the 6'6 is a very fast action

there seems to be a trend for bream rods to be getting longer only 2 years ago a six foot rod was the norm then they went to sis - six then 7 foot and now 7 foot six , and last week l was reading about a new 8 foot rod , im not sure where it will end , l do beleive the latest 7 foot six rods give an advantage it will be interesting to see if the rods continue to grow
