new outfit

[boepens]

Hey guys I'm looking at getting myself a slightly bigger outfit for spinning in the surf etc
I've got a 8foot vengeance with a sedona 2500 with 10pound braid
But I'm thinking 9 or 10foot with a 4000 reel
Wanna spend about 1500 on setup. Its not gonna work too hard as I'm really into sharking
Any suggestions ?

My best fish todate on the other setup is this skippy
Wow what a pull. Impekweni river

9' Vengance gets some good reviews and paired with a Sedona 4000 and 10lb fireline or 15-20lbs braid it should do the business and meet your budget.
My set up is now only short of the 10lb Fireline and then the Kob are in trouble:spite:spite

Another good rod is the Loomis & Franklin 9' Platinum and there is the Fenwick Eagle GT which if memory serves me correctly is quite well priced(under R1000) It would stretch your budget but it's a really nice stick.

What were the results of the Pullins session?

Once I've got my 9' dropshot set up ready I was going to work Glengarrif to Yellows with some Dropshot. I also need to sort out some 2oz spoons.

Next area will be Pullins or Marshstrand??

I have a very nice 1oz tin spoon but it's a bit light to keep down when targeting Kob in working water.

..Howzit..Fluke..Nah..water was a bit chilly and up..colour right(see pic)..walked to just this side of Doubles and back ..nothing and the Haga beach ledges ..all sanded up...Soo...will check next spring tide..got a nice 2oz tin spoon for you ..let me know...

Thanks DV, always love the look of that bay.
We need to chat about that 2oz tin spoon. I love the tin spoons as you can bend them to match the conditions.

Bandit or somebody like that has done a very nice copy of the toby spoon in 1 & 2oz and they do it in chrome and a brass finish(not sure if it's brass or just coated. I will definately be getting a few. They're about R40ea.

I have a spoon of just over 2 oz and one of just under 3oz. the 3oz is the S spoon with the V back that used to be available in tackle shops but I don't see them around anymore. I made a plaster mould but the mould is now buggered as is my 1oz mould(these 2 spoons are shad slayers of note!!).
I haven't made new mould as I don't have a workshop at home anymore and getting tin is a costly and sometimes frustrating exercise(it's often too hard!!).

Sorry for the hijack Boep but this is related to getting started

Something tells me there's cob there. Lol

..Hey..I am in for Cove Rock..havent been there for awhile...I don't mind walking ..but ain't leaving my car at Hickman's and Winterstrand is also not too safe to park there any more...Sooo..when we going Boep/Fluke??...

There are mostly at night though, but have you got a gun because that place is bad??

Rocklyffe surf also holds lots of Kob but dropshot in the surf is a wet, risky business. Wading to the lip where Raggies lurk then worrying about rip currents and getting dumped

You the one who drives a Ford, No one would steal that

Winterstrand side is not too bad, I'll park there but no way will I park Cove Rock to Hickmans side. I think the Igoda side of Winterstrand is where the problems are.
