Exmouth Landbased Tackle
Submitted by sL4sha on Sun, 2025-01-26 23:43
Planning a trip to Exmouth, was going to take my Veritas 4 travel 3-6kg with a TD-Black 2500 running 12lb tasline and 16lb fluro leader to flick 4-6" plastics and some stick baits but from what I'm reading im going to have to go alot heavier.
I'll mainly be fishing from the beaches and marina.
Would a veritas 5 travel 6-10kg and the TD Black 2500 spooled with 20lb be sufficient or will I be looking at getting a 4k real to match?
I was hoping to get away using the 3-6kg veritas mainly targeting jacks and spangled but if a big trev comes past...

I've only done one trip to
I've only done one trip to exmouth years ago. But I remember thinking I needed to bring heavier tackle for both boat and landbased. The spangoes/bluebone etc run straiight to the reef. I would think upgrade to 30b at least. That setup would be fun on the flats though.

I agree with these comments.
I agree with these comments. It's good to have a light outfit for flats or a feed of whiting but spangos etc. will crush that unless you're lucky. I have a 4000 reel with 20lb braid and a 5000 with 30lb and have most options covered, except chasing GT's!

Exmouth landbased
If your fishing land based in the gulf you should do with 20lb braid especially when the queen fish come through out on the other side of the cape i run between 20lb braid for not to rocky and reefy beaches up to 80lb braid with heavy leadear of the reefy beaches/ledges going for big fish.
