chriseels2010 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 The above post isn't too much help. But honestly if its bream, whiting, flathead, you are after, I would consider downsizing your line size to say 6 pound, rod weight to 2 to 5 kg and reel size to a 2500 size. With leaders you can always change the poundage, say 12 for flathead if you want to compensate for their teeth perhaps, And 4-6 for Bream and whiting perhaps. Help that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your combo is defiantly on the heavy side. It wouldn't be any fun fighting the fish as they would be just winched in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
