You got the rods correct. Close on the reels, but they’re Shimano Aerlex 10000 XTB. Not sure the budget would stretch to a pair of Ultegras!!
I am in Bristol so not too far away. I hadn’t fished the mark too much either to be honest. I had done a few sessions over high and blanked every time...
Hi Thrasher
I am currently using Berkley Big Game like you suggest, and I would recommend it. I got a big spool from VMO.
I have also got a spool of 80lb ultima powerflex which I am using as shockleader. I am a big fan of that too.

Thanks all. Followed it up with another session at the same mark yesterday. This time I managed 4 undersized codling, a small rockling, a whiting and then the below codling which was slightly better!
Got a nice photo of the sunset too. Nice way to start the new year. It was one of the most...
Managed to get out for a couple of hours down to low water, and an hour back up in Clevedon this morning. I caught a couple of small codling on frozen blacks and ragworm. I had plenty of bites but got the feeling there was a lot of small stuff about. The wait for a decent sized cod goes on!
