I'm guessing it may be a snapper?

if your talking snapper go a 2 to 4kg out fit 8lb braid with 12lb flouro leader dont need no heavier than that

[butch]

sorry as for your reel 2000 or 3000 sol is perfect

[UrbanAngler]

I'm using 2-4 trion and 2000 sol at the moment..
You're saying that should be fine?

I have a 3-6 exceler and 2500 tierra that was supposed to be the snapper gear..

That's exactly what i want to hear..
But what about heavier jig head tho? I don't think my trion can cast 1/4 jigs comfortably.. Too afraid snapping the tip.

[butch]

are u fishing from a boat ?

[UrbanAngler]

Mainly landbased.. Occasionally on boat as well..

[butch]

i got a 2 to 5 kg 2.13 m tournament t curve tha handle heavier lead with ease

[cr@zy_deep]

really depends where you are fishing and for what size snapper. for the little ones (up to 50cm or so) you can just use your 2-4kg bream gear with a slightly heavier leader. Anything above that I prefer to have a 4000 size reel with 15-20lb braid on a 4-8kg rod.

my snapper out fit is a daiwa rod 17-20lb 7ft with a 4000 stradic spooled with 20lb suffix, i run 20lb leader and still get stitched up occasionally by reds, they fight dirty. i'd be interested in hearing if anyone is fishing heavier.

I occasionally cast 10g metals with my 6'6" 2-4 trion. as long as you do a load cast you shouldnt snap with a 1/4 oz but be gentle.

Another n00b question... what's 'load cast'?

When i get the chance to hit the pinks i just use one of my bream sticks, and if i'm getting blown away i'll change the spool to something heavier..... slightly.

Pflueger Trion 2-4kg 6'6" 2pc matched with a Daiwa Exceller Plus 2000

4lb Crystal Fireline with 5 or 8lb leader
8lb Fireline with 8 or 12lb leader

And if that is still too light i have a 3-7kg 6'6" with a 2500 with 10lb braid and 14 to 20lb leader.... just in case
