Hey toby, thanks so much for watching mate. My rod was a Shimano 1-3 Kilo 7’2 soft plastic rod paired with a Daiwa AIRD23 2500 reel and that was spooled with 8lb Daiwa J-BRAIDx8, And I was running a 6lb leader. Also the plastics I were using were Daiwa BaitJunkie 2.5in Minnows in Motor oil colour, with baitjunkie 1/12 jigheads. Hope it helped!
