i reackon u should use super light braid with a flurocarbon leader if u doing soft plasic fishing

invest in some "berkley Vanish" flurocarbon leader big difference between mono and flurocarbon line

They most certainly will, and marinas are great places to find them, simply due to all the structure encountered there.A marina is all rock walls, pylons, pontoons, hulls, sheltered waters, etc......what self respecting bream could resist.In the marina stay quiet, keep your shadow off the water, move only your casting arm, drop your lure as close as possible to the structure you are fishing, and use the lightest jighead you possibly can (even unweighted).

thank you, everyone for your replies.my friend and i landed our first soft plastic bream at west lakes nothing much but it is a start.

hi mate, slow slow slow is what you want with bream using hards or soft. slow twitchy retrieve with lots of pauses.

A bream is a bream, and you landed your target species using the techniques and equipment you wanted to learn!Everyone has to start somewhere, the first few are the hardest, and many give it away before ever landing one. Now that you've got a start, you'll find that they start coming much easier, and I'm sure it wont be long before you start posting pics of those bumper blue lip horses! Keep up the good work, and keep us posted! PS: Daiwa is the ducks guts when it comes to bream gear...let's just keep that between ourselves though!

Get a copy of the Adam Royter DVD: Berkley Soft Plastics.It's packed full of very helpful information which will explain more than we could ever put into a post. It covers lines, knots, reels, rods, techniques, jigheads, plastics, and more. It's cheap, and it's available at most good tacklestores. I'd recommend it to anyone just starting out.

Hey buddy. When i first started out catching bream i used a small #4 hook, 3 ganged on a running sinker rig with white bait, never failed. For lure i used a 10gram chrome steel holographic lure ($3.50 at Kmart) also worked awesome. I always started off on bait til i get hookups then switch to lure. Enjoy and happy fishing.Gimbles
