Tackle Tips For Gulf Coast Snook
Tackle depends on fishing locations. Fishing the flats with no obstacles or structure, anglers can catch them on light tackle. That is a FUN fight. I use 3000 series reels filled with 20lb braid to a 20-30lb fluorocarbon leader.
If you are fishing bridges and structure, heavier tackle could help you land a monster. When I am bridge fishing, I up the tackle to a 6000 series reel, and 50lb main line to 60lb leader. Hook size is a circle hook 6/0 or 7/0. This allows for extra power for the angler to pull the fish away from structure, successfully bringing the fish to the surface. No matter what the species, Bullbuster line and leader have always led me to have a successful catch rate.
