setup
- Thread starter HEIHACHI
- Start date
Definitely shad. Was there this morning and quite a few shad came out. Left the shad biting - had other commitments to attend to. I had no luck with dropshot this morning - water looked a bit dirty - but did get a few shad on sards - most just making size and lost one of about 1.5kg - no steel and bit me off when I was picking it up of the pier .
Your setup looks fine - also had the crossfire reel , but mines makes a terrible noise after I hooked one decent fish. My brother-in-laws crossfire seized after just one outing - without even hooking a single fish . So just beware . I have since changed to the execeller - what a pleasure !!
A fisherman also caught a nice grunter of +-2.5kg . From the time he hooked the fish, he just towed the fish all the way, up the pier and into his bag , with one of those 12ft combos you buy at Game Store . If it your lucky day ...... nothing can stop u .
Do you fish often at snake park - PM me - maybe we can hook up some time .

How do the Loomis & Franklin Rod behave for spinning? I am thinking of getting that rod in 9 or 10 ft, coupled with a Daiwa millionaire reel for Softy plastics, spinning, jigging and spooning.

U can't go wrong with a Berkley Air 7 rod. They are about 9ft and have backbone to do all you want technique wise plus they are lite, lite, lite so using for hours is easy.

Thanx GL.
What do you think of the Daiwa millionaire (ML-S300) reel for the above purposes?
