I have the 7 live using it for estuary and bay work in the Busta and itβs a good clear reading, sorry but I canβt comment on deeper waters atm. I will be buying another active transducer so I can use it in the Kevlarcat too, π
The 10ft Gutts Butts Ugly would do it but is now probably regarded as a too heavy a weight compared to the carbon rods available today.
Ok not the nsw north coast or a kid π
10ft overhead or eggbeater outfit will do, just match the rod to the lure weight and remember you might want to cast a live yakka out as well.
Im old school and prefer overhead reels and fast taper rods
My Ugly Stick and ABU 10000cl will do it all π but itβs not perfect for any specific purpose.
+1 for the steelite reel, I still have mine and a 3 wrap slow taper rod.
Its been a great combo and caught 100s of fish , I will definitely been worn out before this outfit.
I prefer the old orange bobby cork and bud lead to a swivel and then trace with sneck or suicide #12 hooks. I donβt know if those bobby corks are still made , but they were great.
The old AFA days were similar .
Eastern Suburbs Anglers and South Sydney AFA were the gun clubs.
We all fished the Mattens, Light, Gap & Roser
Comps were a berley feast for pigs and luderick but we stayed south of Maroubra with this style of fishing.
I had Malabar Little bay at my back door , it was a great place for kids.
3x strength 1/0 hooks with a ball sinker and cungie with 8wrap rods and alvey winches were the go. The days of scunning the fish are long gone in comps but it was fun times.
I used to help out in SSB&T and we were always dialed in π€
Hooking pigs fishing for luderick was always a challenge π³π³π³
Gents a 7ft flick stick is a great outfit off the rocks spinning for frigates etc
Thats what we used in the LBG heydays all around JB Avoca Tomaree etc
If your ledges are gnarly get a longer rod , but landing fish will still require finesse.
Find good quality ledges to fish with deep water at your feet.
A 12ft 7144 or similar and an alvey 650A is a great winching outfit for gnarly reef at your feet.
I caught heaps of frigates etc on 2kg on a 7ft outfit off the rocks.
ymmv

A 10ft ugly stick with ABC 10000cl
A 7ft 2-4kg fast taper flick stick with 4/0 eggbeater
A JS9102 Live Baiting Rod and TLD25
A 12ft gaff
These rods and reels are old but the new evolution of similar specs will serve any keen LBG / Rockhopper very well.
I still have this kit and it doesnβt get out fished or fail under stress. Buy once cry once and check out what everyone else is using on the stones. Fishos love to talk about their gear or what they would prefer to own.
Good luck
