Hi everyone, I am new to this forum but have been an ardent recreational fisherman for a long time. Although I have fished & caught many species my favourite is still bream!! Nobody can deny the feeling of catching a Jewie or Kingy or any other type of game fish for that matter, but there's still something special about bream..
I purchased a pfleuger trion rod about a year ago from BCF and attached a Shimano Symetre 2500 reel. I absolutely loved the feel and the strength of the rod. I have used it with both plastics & live bait (prawns, yabbies & worms) and have had great success with it. I recently ordered two more (for the price of one) from a US tackle shop.
I now have 5 in total. They are all 2-4kg rods IM-8 graphite some are 2 piece and some are 1 piece.
I was wondering if anybody else uses pfleuger and what your thoughts were?
If not, what is your preferred gear for bream?

Well done Pengo. I was there on Sat as well. We decided to take the kids for a picnic and a swim (It also gave me the opportunity to throw a line in). I left about 7.30pm but fished in the exact spot you did. To the right and was casting towards the trees/rocks. I tried platics & hard bodies on a pfleuger trion 2-4kg rod & Shimano symetre 2500 reel with no success. I had some live yabbies that a friend gave me & I caught 6-7 small squire (snapper). The largest would have barely touched the 30cm mark.
I haven't fished there for years, like Krispy said & as you saw it gets really busy & full of tools!! I used to fish from the rocks at the head there with good success but it's a lot of effort to get down there. Especially with gear!!
Keep fishing and good luck mate..
