    Braid preference for R&S grinder

    If your budget gets there JDB DNA is current king

    Need a reel for my grand son's BlueFish Special (3-5oz) 13ft.

    Okuma cedros azores xp or metaloid cannot be under rated. They fish exceptionally well. Pop on a Quality 30lb braid around 300m and good to go. 6000 or 55 size is enough that's a light rod, little point in oversized reel

    Shore based yellowtail spinning tackle

    One of the strongest lure casting rods I have ever held is the new assassin duel xt mh 8ft Pair this with a 6000 or 8000 Shimano and 30lb JDB DNA and you can cast all day and still pull out a bus. 8ft casts way better than you think.

    Adrenalin 7ft Modularis Spin 210-70 EVO

    Lekker rods, I would suggest going for the heavy instead of the xh which is a bit to stiff Won't find a better rod for the money, assassin edge 2 is the only other one to look at, bit lighter

    Okuma Euphoria vs Assassin Beachmaster II

    We did a review of the new Beach master 2 on untraceable tackle Tuesday. While the euphoria is a fine rod in its class and well finished with great components and cosmetics its not in the same price or class of blank as the beach master 2. The assassin is a far lighter blank and a lot crisper...

    Glysinker op Braid hooflyn?

    I use a reasonably large swivel sliding up and down the full main line with a very short piece of mono onto my running sinker. Works well

    Yellow Sands in March, any advice?

    Off the rocks good area for bluefish and blacktail some kob and musselcracker as well. In the river good spotted grunter, some kob, skipjack, even river snapper and small kingfish in the upper reaches

    Which Braid brand is your go-to brand for your Grinder (2023 Poll)?

    JDB especially the DNA not cheap but stronger and longer lasting than any other braid I have used

    Best way to join 30lb braid to 120lb braid top shot for surf casting

    I happily cast a 5oz no leader on my 14 6ft on 30lb JDB DNA, stuff is super strong but one man's cast is another man's whip, we all do it differently

    What is best value for money 12ft rod: Loomis Archipelago short butt 12ft (1.5 - 4oz) or the Assassin Bluefish special (2-4oz)

    Tight call, very different rods. Guides etc are better on the loomis, negatives are the micro guides which can be an issue with leader knots. Also the assassin is a little sturdier, handles a 4oz better even with a decent bait. If you focus on finesse bluefish with mainly a 2oz the archipelago...

    Spinning/ Popping rod for couta / cuta

    I love my assassin duel zero 8ft m. Got a soft enough tip for stickbaits and to take up the shock of big hits, yet enough backbone to kans a tuna. Most versatile rod on the market, can pop and jig well to

    Dislikes: Shimano Spheros SW 10000 or Shimano Saragosa SW 8000 or the Stradic SW 10000

    Both are really good high end reels that see you well, the pg hg decision is often those targeting sharks, prefer the slower ratio, the faster ration can very helpful when reeling in over bricky reefs. To throw a complete spanner in the works have you considered the daiwa bg-mq. Smooth and...

    Targeting White steenbras and Cob

    I prefer the cone method, if the currents running too strong rather move as the prefer calmer conditions. Bigger ones actively feed at night. Don't ignore ghost crab, sand mussel or even a squid strip as bait and always hold your rod. White steenbras love to pick up the bait and run in towards...
