With the lure retreiver attach some cord to the end of it, wrap your line in through the cork screw like devices on the side and send to the bottom where you lure is snagged. You may need to lift and drop a couple of times to knock it free.Just make sure you keep you line tight while you do it.

But you look like you have everything else pretty much covered You could Maybe add a couple of Bigger Trolling lures maybe a Koolabung or AC Invader in the 120mm and above range.

Get out the backyard and start casting at some bucket sized targets for practice .
Landing your lure in the right spot without birdsnesting consistantly can make all the difference

this is the thing i went and got an egg beater set up, do you think its work going and getting a baitcaster set up and if so what kind rod reel set up?

Cheers

Not unless you plan to do alot more native fishing .
Eggbeater will be fine for now .

[dave009]

Well thats the thing chasing cod may only be a once or twice a year thing, the penn reel i think should handle anything i throw at it and as i was thinking i could use this set up in the salt water as well where i do lots of baitfishing so thought the baitcaster may be a bit wasted.
