Hi guys
As many of you have fished the GBR it feels like the right place to ask.
I have booked a trip to Bligh Reef next year. The fishing in the shallows looks spectacular. But I'm not sure which setup to use there. I do have Blue Sniper 77/3 but am I better of with a PE5 setup?
Thanks in advance!
Peter

Yes, you are. The bigger reefies will do terrible things to PE3 tackle
-
I would go with the PE 5 gear, as long as it can cast the smaller lures u may want to use.
Or take em both
-
Thank you guys. Have bought a PE5 rod a will bring both.

I took a PE5 outfit on my recent trip to Osprey Reef. The bigger reefies gave me a beating!! :'(
-
Thanks Brandon.
I guess one will get punished no matter what 😀
Stepping up to PE6 is definitely not going to happen

The big reefies will give you an enormous amount of grief on GT tackle! Problem with fishing shallow reefs
