Super budget setup?

[mattmacman]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the forum and am keen to learn as much as possible. I have only just started to realise that normal fish live in the Swan river as my usual trips result in many pest by-catch style disappointment.
I am trying to learn as much as possible about using lures and am not sure how appropriate my setup is to this..
Im using a Silstar Damos Graphite 8-15 Lb, Daiwa Tierra 2500 with similarly rated finns braid.
I am noticing that most bream fishos go for 2-6 Lb setups and my rig is rated a bit much over that..
I have a spare spool for my Tierra that I could spool with some light braid or i could use a small Alivio 1000 with light braid but im not sure what to do with the rod. I dont want to spend much because money is TIGHT for me at the moment but im guessing that coming from a heavier rated rod will be a huge difference?
Im willing to spend up to this- http://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/...nch-2-4kg.html

Thanks!

Matt,

I have the Starlo Classix 2-5kg and it does everything I need it to do. I'm new to Breamin but it has taken some punishment and landed some big fish - most recently, today 2x 50cm+ Flatties! Awesome fun.

Go for it you won't be disappointed

Hey mate, you keen to hit up the river some time this coming, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday? Me and a couple of my more serious fishing mates are all still in high school so from your user name I think we might get along

Hi Matt,

Yeah I'm 17, I'd be keen. Check your PMs mate.

Hey mate. I am always keen for a fish in the Swan if you want? I have just finished year nine and I am keen to catch some bream if you want to join me

[mattmacman]

Hey guys, well talk specifics via PM but what did you have in mind, the usual area is Claremont jetty? Mates have caught nice flatties and a couple of bream there. But being a rookie im open to suggestion?

Would a Silstar Damos 7ft 8-15 Lb be fine in the meantime? Ill scrape together some funds through the holidays =)

Probably a bit to heavy

[mattmacman]

Ok, ill pick one up =P Should I spool my Tierra with light braid or my Alivio 1000? The Alivio is much smaller.

Roves air strike rods are $50, best bang for your buck going

[mattmacman]

Where can I pick one of those up from?

[Tom Walker]

Tackleworld or compleat angler. Spool the Alivio

[mattmacman]

Not the Tierra? Ok then =) What line rating should I go for?

[Tom Walker]

6lb is a good starting point

[mattmacman]

125 Yards enough? Also the Alivio is in need of a service any ideas? Little rough in the bail arm at the moment.
