SaltyGreek Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hi all, I’m planning on trying something new, by fishing soft vibes for Jew. I was just wondering if a 2-4kg rod, 2500 reel and 10lb braid would be ok for fishing 15-17g vibes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right but also on the light side of right if you get what I mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Agree, sounds good. Just make sure you have plenty of line on the reel incase you get hit by a 30kg + monster. A friend of mine has had a 34kg and a whopping 38kg from down this part of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 As long as your rod is rated to throw lures of that weight, go for it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I used my Daiwa black weasel with a 3000 ci4 stradic with light lures on kings down here. Its pretty amazing how much pressure you can put on fish with some of these light outfits. I would of been using around 7kg drag at times over very shallow reef. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I’m a mug on Jewies, but a leader (Fluro ) of 16-20lb, might be helpful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoods Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Perfect - we use bream gear for them. Fishing light is great fun and we don't seem to pull hooks. See attached. Hoods 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefin Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 JonD, Copy Cat😛 I have the same but I use it on Jew in the river up here in Port Macquarie. 10 lb braid 12 lb leader. Samaki vibes 10 and 14 gram with Sax scent Crab. Slack water around the Denis bridge is my favourite spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
