Hozit guys

I couldnt resist it...

Sold my albe waverunner and bought me a Blue Marlin G3 14ft 3 piece. The one with the 2 tips.

What is your thoughts on this rod as I will be using it for edibles off the beach.

Im gonna use it with a Daiwa Saltist 40H.

I would like to know your thoughts on this setup and what sinker size is good to use for some nice distance.

At the moment I'm using 6-7oz on the rod.

Guess its about 1/4 to 1/2 of a sardine

Mussel I will put a whole white mussel on the hook.

Must say...I'm still struggling with the way to keep the mussel on the hook! lol

On one of the gallie topics was a discussion how to thread a muscle onto a hook, but to recap, you start from the lip of the muscle and thread the hook through the muscle a couple of times until you get to the stomach part, you then tie lightly with cotton, leaving the tip of the hook expose.

Check under bait presentation. Trophy made a post "sardine and mussel" for cob. Mmmm. Lekker bait.

The setup sounds good for eds bud. Nothing wrong with it. The sinker weight depends on the trip you want to use. I'm sure you have the 6oz and 8oz tip.
