KOBTOBER TACKLE CHECK
When targeting Dusky Kob, having confidence in your mainline is just as important as choosing the right lure and retrieve.
For this Kobtober session, Boss Slick Perma Braid was the perfect choice to spool onto my Okuma Salina 5000.
The silky-smooth profile of the braid delivers excellent casting distance, helping get the paddle tail into the strike zone while maintaining great sensitivity throughout the retrieve.
The 30lb breaking strain gives me the confidence to put pressure on a good Kob when the bite comes, while still offering the casting performance needed for working paddle tails from the beach.
TACKLE USED:
• Boss Slick Perma Braid
• 30lb Breaking Strain
• Okuma Salina 5000
• Paddle Tail
• Target: Dusky Kob
Smooth braid. Long casts. Maximum confidence.
Kobtober is on.
