Setup weight for tailor
Submitted by just_fishin on Sun, 2013-12-15 12:18
Hey guys, I was just wondering what an ideal total weight of my setup should be for throwing lures at tailor... is 550grams on a 9ft rod too heavy? Rod weighs 130grams and reel weighs 420grams.
Will my arms start getting tired after a day? I can either get a lighter reel which brings the total weight to 410, or go with the reel that I orginally wanted and have it at 550grams.
Not too sure if an extra 140grams will make a whole world a difference so looking for opinions and what are the weights of your setups for throwing lures off the rocks and the beach

You'll be fine
Used to use my snyderglass and penn spinfisher before all this graphite stuff. Bet the bottom half of the rod weighs more than 400gms:). When the salmon or tailor is firing, doesn't matter how heavy is the set up is. But now I use a certate hyper 4000pe and 9ft tiralejo. Been using that for a few years now, I've put in good 2 hour sessions with it without a problem.
