Re: What do you think of this Rod and reel combo?
your rod is kinda overkill for snapper fishing, eventually you'll need a light tackle setup but for now use a 6/0 or 7/0 hook and take a piece of cutbait, ladyfish, mullet, grunts whatever you can get and cut about a two inch chunk and bury the hook in it. I'm assuming you'll be fishing bridges or reefs, so you'll need some weight too, depending on current maybe a 4 or 6 oz weight and drop it to the bottom the reel up a little and wait.....and wait.....and wait.....make sure your drag is almost locked down, when you get a hit start reeling cause that grouper is gonna head back into them rocks he calls home, if he does give him some slack, he'll come back out eventually.
