Hello everyone, 1st time poster, but I've lurked here for a while. Looks like there's a wealth of info here and I look forward to picking your brains and contributing as well.
I just moved to San Antonio but will be spending time in CC and hope to surfcast whenever I can. I'm looking for some feedback/critiques on my current gear/plans.
Inshore-trout/slot reds
Popping corks, shrimp, artificials, small croaker, piggy perch/pins
Shimano spheros 4000
7' penn inshore rod
30lb braid
General surfcasting/jetty fishing/pier anchor rod-slot reds, bull reds, small shark, big uglies
finger mullet, cut horse mullet, cut skipjack/ladyfish, perch, croaker
penn 704/penn liveliner 5600
10' Ander tournament 1-4oz
20lb mono
Penn squidder 145
Rod to be purchased (ugly stick 10', American rodsmiths 12' etc etc.)
20lb mono
Medium heavy surfcasting/light pier fishing-slot reds, bull reds, cobia/ling, small-medium sharks, jack crevalle
whiting, mullet, cut ladyfish, perch, small cut sting ray
Daiwa sealine 50h static magged
Rod to be purchased, same as above
25lb mono
Slide line fighting rig/pier float rig/jetty drift rig/heavy surfcasting reel
Kingfish, bull reds, Jacks, Cobia, and if lucky the rare tarpon
Penn 113h 4/0 aluminum spool
6'6" Shakespeare wonder rod
30lb mono
Couple questions.
On a budget and want to avoid issues on a crowded pier so I'm trying to stick with mono.
Would 25lb mono be heavy enough for bull reads and sharks to 5 feet?
I remember reading a ton of jigmaster/30lb mono recommendations on this site for this type of fishing. I was thinking the 25 mono could give me a bit more line capacity.
Is the 4/0 large enough for slide lining? Would the chrome spool offer a significant increase in line capacity? Would the 113HLW be a better choice and if so can it still be cast? I'm assuming that the 4/0 would be fine for most kings, cobia and jacks but that I'd be cutting it close with a 6+ foot shark or 100lb tarpon.
sorry for the long winded post. thx for taking the time to read
