FishingScent Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hi all I am after new line for bream fishing fussy things that they are. Looking to fish hard body's and un weighted baits. Was thinking 3lb fire line or berkley nanofil with 3lb fc rock leader. What are your thoughts/set ups?

adamski Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) For leader, any decent light fluoro should be enough I reckon. In the past I used 4 lb Nitlon DFC, but more recently I've still been getting the occasional bream on 6 lb and 8 lb (though I wasn't targeting them). If you're fishing in a spot with lots of flatties, might be worth using the heavier leader to avoid getting bitten off. Hope that helps.

fragmeister Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I would normally use 12 lb braid with a 6lb fluorocarbon leader. I think you are on the money with the unweighted baits down a burley trail. An hour or so either side of the high tide at night or a high on dawn or dust works best for me.

fragmeister Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) 12lb still casts well but it it's a little thicker and less likely to tangle and twist up like thin braid can do particularly when fishing unweighted .

fisholb Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I use 10lb power pro with 10lb yozuri fc Caught plenty of bream with it I agree with frag The thinner braid seems to get more twist than the thicker ones specifically spinning with light lures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Guys my 10lbs reel is outta action and so I took the 6lbs reel today instead. I now know what you mean! Bloody line tangles - got one so bad it snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witha Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi mate pretty much all my bream setups are loaded with 0.6pe (very thin braid) and I run 4-6lb leaders. If you're running light hard bodies the light line definitely helps casting distance, but can take a bit of management. Wafting baits not so much of a drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
