What is the best rod and reel setup for Golden Perch (Yellowbelly)?
It’s that time of year when the perch are feeding up in the dams and everyone wants to get out and have a crack. If you don’t know what gear is the best for casting lures, here is a quick introduction:
Rod
- 6ft10in up to 7ft2in
- Graphite blank (not fibreglass)
- Fast action (this is very important for casting and fighting the fish)
Reel
- 2500 size spin reel
Mainline
- Braid 6lb up to 10lb
Leader
- 8lb up to 14lb
This is just a brief overview about the setup for this style of fishing, but there is so much more to learn to unlock this style of fishing.
