This time of year it's mostly lure fishing for me. My usual shore set up is a Shimano Dialuna 9'6" with an old Daiwa Certate 4000 and 20lb Suffix 131 braid. On the boat its 9' Okuma Octanas paired up with ancient but reliable 44/4500ss Spinfishers and 26lb J braid8x. If I do go bait fishing it will be after bass over clean ground in surf - in the estuary mouth I use Flattie Fanatics with 5500mag elites and .31mono, in the bigger surf of the sea proper its usually Greys 12'6" BZe's with 7htmags and .35 mono, or a pair of custom 13' glass tipped Cono-flex blanks that came off the Source mandrel if its heavy surf requiring 150g.
IF the codling appear ? then usually it will be a pair of Zziplex FZero's if I can hold with 150g or Cono-flex Pulse's if I might need a bit more, matched with mk1 525mags and .35 mono.
I've more modern gear but lure fishing apart, I keep coming back to the old favourites. I should sell the rest as its gathering dust but being a tackle hoarder it's hard to let the pets go?

[QUOTE="Topwater, post: 180576, member: 620"] This time of year it's mostly lure fishing for me. My usual shore set up is a Shimano Dialuna 9'6" with an old Daiwa Certate 4000 and 20lb Suffix 131 braid. On the boat its 9' Okuma Octanas paired up with ancient but reliable 44/4500ss Spinfishers and 26lb J braid8x. If I do go bait fishing it will be after bass over clean ground in surf - in the estuary mouth I use Flattie Fanatics with 5500mag elites and .31mono, in the bigger surf of the sea proper its usually Greys 12'6" BZe's with 7htmags and .35 mono, or a pair of custom 13' glass tipped Cono-flex blanks that came off the Source mandrel if its heavy surf requiring 150g. IF the codling appear ? then usually it will be a pair of Zziplex FZero's if I can hold with 150g or Cono-flex Pulse's if I might need a bit more, matched with mk1 525mags and .35 mono. I've more modern gear but lure fishing apart, I keep coming back to the old favourites. I should sell the rest as its gathering dust but being a tackle hoarder it's hard to let the pets go? [/QUOTE]
