Hi Guys
So you guys know I started lure fishing.
First outing didn't go to well, and I want to change the 15 lb. braid on my reel.
I recently found some night glow 3" paddle tails.
When I arrive home in Scottburgh during the week, I am usually home by 6.30 pm to 7 pm.
Due to the heat, I sometimes take the family to Rocky bay which is about +- 12 mins away from home.
There is a small pier there which I would like to throw this lure from for about an hour or so.
The below is my question.
My rod the Sensation Purple Stick, its a great rod, light and has a good action.
It is rated 8 to 17gr.
If I am using jig heads not exceeding 1/4 oz., but and also using more lighter jig heads (I did not see the weights), What lb. braid would best suit this rod?, note size 3000/4000 reel.
Reason being, I want to try and match the rod rating to the suitable lb. braid.
I am not sure about the average distance of what the other guys are getting on 7ft setups.
Also if one can note the lb. of fluorocarbon leader to attached to the braid, it will also help.
or if you have any advice for me, please feel free to share.
