Hi Bruce I am using 15 and 24 kg outfits for Cobia. My first outfit is a Shimano Torium 20 on a Daiwa 5'6 Monster mesh rod filled with 15 kg braid. My second outfit is a Shimano Speedmaster 10 on a 5'6 Terez rod filled with a thin 24 kg braid. Good Luck mate.
Hey Shannon, love your videos mate, very generous of you to share your info. When using eel, do you use fillets or cutlets? How big is your bait normally?
Ive been on the hunt recently. Last week I got smoked big time. Later that day the new sounder died, so back to the shop it went. I popped out today for a nudge with no sounder, awaiting replacement. Now that was a tough day even using land marks for rough bearings, now i appreciate tech that bit more. Got a few table fish instead. Next week game on. Thanks for the tips. 🙌🙌
Thanks for the tips Shannon. Do you sometimes find the bait and set the anchor then after a couple of minutes they are gone. I find it happens quite often so I spend so much time finding baits and set up the anchor again and again......any tips for this?
Hi Eden I like to go up current and anchor away from the bait and let the current take my baits back towards the bait school. That method seems to work well for me.

Ive seen youtube videos from the states where they make eel lures for cobia from surgeon tube.
Thanks for the info mate.

I use cutlets around 6 inches with snelled 8/0 hooks. Good luck mate

I hope you get your sounder back soon mate to help find these bait schools and chase these Cobia that are around ATM.
Good luck on your next trip.
Hey mate
What depth range you chasing cobia in ? Cheers
Hi Nathan I'm usually chasing Cobia in 30 to 35 mtrs of water.
Thanks for the Cobia tips Shannon! Cobia is the fish specie I want to master catching on the GC.
Good luck buddy.
