Best Trout Lures
Where do we start??If we had to recommend one, the best Trout fishing lure would be the Jackson Komachi Lure. Now it is a floating lure which limits your fishing options a little, but its successes in streams and shallow water areas far outweigh its inability to be fished deep. That's a hard statment to make though because there are some REALLY great Trout lures here, all with their own unique features that will have you catching Trout of all kinds no matter where you are in the world. Some other notable selections: The Bottom Magic is great for both deep and shallow water fishing, the Zurubiki Goby is similar in its action to the Bottom Magic but will work better at
Best Bream Rods
These are just three of many rod options on the market that hit popular price points. All are great with lures, soft plastics, or bait fishing. Bream rods tend to be a little lighter than general estuary rods, and with whippier tips that can get the best casts out of lighter lures.
Recommended Models: Daiwa RZ 702LFS 2-3kg Rod | Shimano Sentire Sakana Gen II 722 1-4kg Rod | Shimano Blue Romance AX BR662XXLSP 1-3kg Rod.
Best Bream Reels
Bream anglers that specifically target bream only will usually go for a 1000-2000 sized reel due to the light line used and to keep overall weight down. However anything up to a 2500 size works just fine for bream, but also allows you to target other bigger species as 2500 sized reels usually have more drag. If you're using braid that's 6lb and under, go the smaller reels, anything above that and you'd be better off going with a 2500 for versatility.
Best Line For Bream Fishing
This 8-strand braid ticks every box in terms of quality and performance i.e. super thin, super smooth, zero stretch, teflon coated etc. but the biggest benefit is by far the camo colouring. Every 10-20cm the braid changes from a light sandy colour to green and then darker brown continuously so the fish can't get a fix on the line and it blends right into creek/estuary/river environment. 8lb is recommended in the braid (which is thinner than most 8lb braids on the market), and 6lb is recommended in the leader.
Other Handy Accessories
The micro assist hooks are a game changer for both catching and landing good bream and come highly recommended. Size 4 or 6 are best for bream.
Upgrading trebles? These Shinto Pro trebles are strong, incredibly sharp, and have a slightly turned in point that increases their stickiness a lot.
