I remember there was a thread where Miles listed all you need to go snoeking. Line thickness for bait lines and loote. and also when to use a swivel and when not. and there was a lot of tips on snoek, but I cant find it. PLEASE HELP AGAIN, I'm busy putting together a mandjie.

2 x leadlines 70kg
2 x baitlines 55kg
2 x baitlines 40-45kg
couple of 11/0 hooks
Chrome/lime/pink leads
mixed spinners
one or 2 rod spinners

It's the basics but you don't need more then that!!

ps. please throw that yellow line away!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Cor-Jo

The knives for now. The yellow line is for in case the skipper decides to go for hotties if the snoek is sleeping.

I had it all wrong. I had 2x 60 kg bait lines, 1 x 100 kg lead and dolly line ang 1 x 90 lb lead line. I also started to pour my own spinners, presently in lead, but soon in tin (as soon as I can find out where to get some).

Thanks TW. I tried NON FERROUSE METALS - saltriver, poor service, but they referred me to LEAD AND SOLDER SUPPLIES.
I can get tin as well as WM 90 there. Which is best?
