Anyone done any Light Rock Fishing - seems good sports, and still the possibility of pulling in good fish, just different tactices.

Thinking of buying an Okuma Octana 10 - 40g 8' 6" to tackle this with accompanying reel?

Any recommendations for locations etc etc. want to travel light.

just got the octana and trio last week, had it out once and its a impressive rod and the reel lets my RT hyperstrong braid off like a dream. Got some gear for LRF but haven't used it yet, I will be soon though! LRF will increase your species count too so its win win.

I'd recommend the Octana and trio like. I got mine from fishtec for just shy of £100. I was just looking for a reel but the offer of a £60 reel and a £80 rod for that price you can't go wrong.

I got the 8'6 10-40g with the fd40 trio

 

[rossysmallcast]

they only got the 9 ft 10 - 35g in stock - don't think 6" and 5g will make that much difference

 

[SnaggedUpLad]

well you what though, the rod looks much nicer in real life, sexy little thing lol

 

[rossysmallcast]

9ft on the way + FD 40 and 15lb braid - gerrin will arrive wednesday....

been out tonight (hebburn marina) got 10 fish, largest codling 28cm - fished a 7 ft fresh water abu spinning rod on 8lb mono, size 4 widemouth hook and rag worn.

Good fun - better than watching a static tip all night

anyone reading in ..any type of spinning gear etc will catch ya fish take no notice of these tacke tarts the fish havent a clue what ya using

 

[rossysmallcast]

0.5 oz drop shot - was off marina so needed to get rig out about 10 yards. Just wished i got a sized fish - thre were 2 lads next to me fish cash comp, think they thought I wasn't been serious.

Yes I think i might try some jelly rags - lthough real life ones are cheaper!

lol as a self confessed tackel tart, this raises an interesting point, think its time for a new thread.

Keep me informed how the jellies work, i would have gone lighter weight if the tide was higher and not get sucked under the jetty, but it was at rock bottom.

Are you gonna let if drop, then reel up again, then let it drop, rinse n repeat or just let it lie there.

The rig i used last night had the hook tied direct onto the shock with no snood - about a foot up from the sinker, may try a very light weigth 1 up 1 down next time though, bring the flatties into play!!

Trying it like this: dropshot rigging the right way - YouTube using braid and flurocarbon, then trying a line twitching method.
