That will do the job mate. The rod may be a little light but i have seen them caught on them with 2500 reels. I use 20lb when I plastic for snapper with my 4000. My mate uses 12lb on a 2500 but he does get busted up a lot too. Maybe try 20lb first. U won't get a lot of line on but snapper don't have massive runs like pelagics.
