the blackfin DVD won't tell you what to buy, it will tell you what to look for, and believe me, what they tell you has been covered on this forum many many times !

it's actually very simple  Read Expensive !!
Fireline is the best choice  you should become the agent
A good quality reel with 2 spools (and a roller bearing)
loaded 6lb on the one and 10lb one the other
Leader line between 3.5kg and 7kg Neil- Is this a shock Leader- or to camouflage the Braid?Rock Resistence ?
A good quality rod with guides that can handle braid- On it's way , pops ..
some jigheads
a few spoons and plugs Neil Post some  Nekked Pix Of your plugs man - some stuff like chug bugs an all ..
a bucktail jig or 10
some camo worms
and a few swimming soft plastics

You just match your rod, reel, line and jigs together based on the rating of the rod, very easy.

and off you go to go fishing !

I'm not "dissing" the DVD, it's very good, I also have one of them, but you will get better "product related" help on Sealine than from any DVD, cause you name it and someone on Sealine has it.

The question is are you looking for light, medium or heavy ?

The Mugabe grinder looks good, should have taken the Makita though!!!

I don't think Berkley can stand me, so as to me becoming an agent, DON'T THINK SO. But for spinning from rock and surf I believe it's the best ...

Leader, yes a shock leader, that short little piece in the front, but buy the 300m spools, it works out ALOT cheaper in the long run.

Fluorocarbon leader that I use is Maxima (very good value for money) and Berkley Vanish (can't remember the price but was also kinda affordable)

I live a stones throw from the sea. No fish here though at the moment. I will need 2 rigs. One for spoons to get to  the yellows about 60m out. The other for scratching around the rocks.
So a 12ft Loomis MH rod with my policanski 2010 and 20lb fireline.
The other must be a 7 to 8.6ft Daiwa Firewolf or similar Rod with a 4000 grinder and 8lb fireline.

This should do it.

I would suggest a 8ft rod with a 3000 size reel and 8lb Fireline

What rod action would suggest Neil? For the rubber stuff.

 

[neilg]

if you gonna go for rubber stuff then a rod that can do up to about 3/4oz, maybe even push 1oz.

That way you can still chuck a spoon or a small plug if needs be

My rule of thumb is the lighter the line the longer the rod and the heavier the lure the further you cast. My best sofar was achieved with my 9ft, 8lb fireline and a spoon. I had some kingfisher backing and a roll of 125 yards ontop of that. The cast ran into my backing
Wind was about 15-20 knots from behind.

 

It also made a big difference when I put water on the spool to wet the line before the cast.
