Breem Outfit

[Crossy]

Hi Folks,

 

Looking for a semi-decent breeming outfit for the summer.

 

Last year I used my suveran 12-20lb boat rod and avet MXJ reel but looking for something a little sportier.

Ideally I think I would like a fixed spool reel and a soft tipped rod with the blank capable of fishing with weights up to around 4-6oz up to around the

Wait for it! How long have you got?

because of a Holiday later in the year, I have just bought a rovex travel spin rod and a baitrunner 4000 size fixed spool

 

I bought the shortest rod [8ft] as it has the lightest action, but there are three to choose from in the range.

 

I am sure that it will make a great bream rod. not sure about 6oz weights though.

 

He also has them in two piece which are cheaper without the hard tube.

Ive bought a 7ft 6inch Sonik 8-12LB SK3 and just added a Shimano 6000 fixed spool baitrunner reel. All I need now is a boat to get me to where the fish are!! Rod and reel were about

Yep, 6oz is probably a little OTT

Shimano quivertip rod and a rovex spinning rod 9ft is what i use and great fun with fixed spools

huge choices, anything between - long and soft or short, light but firmer action.

 

any reel you like really

 

personally I find that something like the 'downrigger' rods - 8'6" soft action - provides about the right feel; whilst I have 4 and 5000 sized fixed spool reels I can't see any advantage to useing them for bream fishing, and some advantages to small multiplier reels; abu6500LD, Calcutta 400 being my preference ie compact and lightweight with smooth drags

 

then again an Ugly Stick spinning rod in it's lightest size can also be huge fun, as it can for mackerel...

I've gone down to Quiver tip rods and Centrepin Reels, loaded with braid line......fishing the Ledge I get away with 2 to 3oz leads....no need to go heavy.

Like Duncan, we used to favour mults but this year we've kitted ourselves out with 8' Rovex and Savagegear XLT rod 20-40g plus Grauvell fixed spools with 20lb braid and lighter fluoro traces. Rods more than capable of dealing with 4-5oz in a big tide, more sporting with 2oz.

 

I have to say rather nice, the rods were
