Hey Crak

Nice to have you on board mate!

The combo that you have is a good one very Value For Money (VFM). Use some powerpro braid on the epixor with a long mono shock leader and you will be set for plugging. I wouldn't advise braid for bait fishing though. It's abrasion resistance is pretty bad compared to good mono.

Cheers
Bopanna

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Bops .... will keep that tip in mind .... first I just wanna get comfortable with mono before I move to braid ..... Have a spool of fluorocarbon which might be next .... Is there too much of practical difference between mono and fluoro except for the visibility underwater???

Ken ... saw your post about you coming to Chennai the other weekend .... Did you get to go fishing here???

Cheers

Crak

Hey Crak

The new fluorocarbons are good but I would use them only as a leader not as a replacement for all the line on the reel. Mono or braid should be your main line.

Bops

Hi Crak,
welcome to the forum..
check angling/fishing gear shoppe on this forum.
The Daiwa combos
DW 40-B/F702M and DW40-B/F802M are pretty good for starters.

Dear Crak,

Welcome to the forum, there are a couple of people from chennai, also I think there is another angler who runs a trolling service in Chennai. Another good spot I think is Pondicherry for fishing off the rocks.

Regards

Dude

That pic is post Tsunami in Cochin. The backwaters were full of sea fish pushed in by the sea.There were a million sardines in every Chinese fishing net. They broke nets .So much so that they were all used as fertilizer for coconut trees by the locals. Oof what a sight!
