Crossy Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

great white Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 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. mine was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Nash Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Cheers Charlie. Yep, 6oz is probably a little OTT Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niggle Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Shimano quivertip rod and a rovex spinning rod 9ft is what i use and great fun with fixed spools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 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...

AQUAJAK Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 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. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisE Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
