The fly rod in the vid is an airflo blade 6wt
For surface, stick minnows and plastics I have a pair of majorcraft x-ride t732m
for the cranka crabs or anything that requires muscling the fish out a bit I use a volkey 662l
and usually I have a skyroad t702m for hardbodies

Well done, good video.
I'm struggling to catch breams on lure/fly, and you're making it so easy. Any tips?
Usually I fish marybrnong river.

mazman, yoooo da man.

What great footage and commentary. And what a great location, nice scenery. Makes for a pleasant day out. That would be a great video for members to view and hone their skills on. Well done on that alone but also for the successful catches.

Cheers, Bugatti

with your surface lures, what sort of line are you using? I remember reading/watching something a while ago about using fluro only for surface?

I don't fish the nong a great deal but at this time of year I would focus on fishing the edges around high tide with small hardbodies or soft plastics. Keep it slow, and give the fish plenty of time between twitches/lifts to commit to taking.

That's part of the reason I'm running the crabs on a different rod, next session I might even bring back my bfs outfit for crabs

If I'm going out and have one outfit that will only have surface lures fished on it I use a braid/mono leader setup. This is because mono floats and allows the lure to work more naturally after an extended pause. I have still used fluorocarbon leaders with surface lures but find some lures cope with it better than others (bent minnows and larger profile walkers) and stick to them and even then it is only because I intend to fish sinking lures or close to structure later and am looking for the extra abrasion resistance/sinking that fluoro provides.
