Hi mate I would say a line from 20-25lb with an 80lb leader with a beach caster from 12-14ft with a casting weight of 4-8oz and someting that has a bit of backbone and the slosh should be fine also. Hop this helps

Thanks for the advice Tazer, I've managed to get myself 2 secondhand rods a sonik sk3 14 5-7 and a anyfish any where 14 six and bait, both in v good condition from a secondhand shop in Bristol, hopefully these will be up to the job.

I bought some line and shock leader earlier today from veal's online as it's about 200yds from my house, unfortunately I will have to take the line back as its the same color as the shock leader, one of many mistakes I will make :slap:

 

What difference does the colour make?. I use 25lb clear main line and 80lb clear shock leader.

thought it might be easier to see the leader against the different main line, just a thought..

 

I would stick with your idea, i find a different colour shock helps you judge when your getting near the surface with your end tackle & maybe even "fish on"

Right I see no problems.

 

25lb line is way ott, it will pick uo too much tide and you wont get a lot on there for the walk back marks like brean and burnham. 18lb is plenty strong enough. The 80lb leader is fine as long as the rig bodys are the same and any load bearing swivels are rated 80lb+. Happy dangling
