I suspect that will be a rather lovely thing to use.

 

Yes, I thought so too! I need to sharpen my Spey fishing game as well as my just casting game and my 80's B&W and Daiwa's are no fun with 15" fish.
Here's hoping 🤞

 

Wow that's great, I had one of my bamboo speys made up so that it would be a crossover to use for seabass. It is an 11'3 #6 with saltwater seat and saltwater proof guides.
But I wasn't going to spey cast it, I was going to double overhead cast it. I got an Outbound #7 I think.
My friend who did live in Devon decided to move closer to his kids so that put a spanner in the works, but I'd love to do some trips for seabass with this kit.
It worked a treat on steelhead and silver salmon so I'm sure it would be a good seabass rod too.
Love to hear how it gets on for you.

 

On the beach it should be good for getting over the tops of the first couple of breaking waves into the feeding zone of patrolling bass.

 

Shall we burn he who spaketh of 'seabass'? 🤣

 

I spent my career in Marine Biology and accept that the accepted scientific name for this fish is
European Seabass Dicentrachus labrax

Dicentrarchus labrax summary page

www.fishbase.se

Every country that thet are found in has different common names for this fish and the frankly idiotic ranting online about this amongst UK anglers just amuses me 🤣

 

Well roger me senseless with a Seabass (European)

 

Someone will take pleasure in it

In the OP I wondered about Cornish Snaps - jam or cream first, where's the crimp

 

Those bloody tv chefs have a lot to answer for.....

 

Reminds me of this:

Seabass.

 

Well roger me senseless with a Seabass (European)

I still call it a Bass for what it's worth 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those bloody tv chefs have a lot to answer for.....

The bloody fish IS a seabass according to taxonomy - what you or I call it doesn't change that simple point of fact 😁

 

In fact just for sh!ts and giggles I've edited the title of the thread to reflect that fact 🤣

 

Cornish Snap, Spey Bro Shiz, Snap T and Snap C? I'm expecting 'Snoop Richie Spey' next.

 

I suppose those that call them Seabass also still catch Rocksalmon.

 

Well I certainly caught one 🎣🐟🤣

 

It's a useful part of the cult of fishing to know the names of your prey in the language of whatever country you are in:
Bass 🇬🇧🇮🇪
Havsaborr 🇸🇪
Lubina 🇪🇸
Wolfsbarsche 🇩🇪
Bar 🇫🇷
Loup de mer 🇫🇷(Med)
Robalo 🇵🇹
Zeebars 🇳🇱
Doingean mara 🇮🇪 (Ga)
European Seabass 🌍

 

Rock salmon is dogfish, spurs and huss me thinks?

 

That's the stuff bro, keepen it reel should bring dee massive ta the fishen vibe, innit.
