Why didn’t you just use 0000 steel wool and metal polish?
Awesome video, thanks. How many meters of nylon backing did you put on?
Nice
What do you do about couta busting up your rig?
I seen one washed ashore in NYC
Great video. Do you think a 9 ft rod up to 2oz would be usable for garrick off the beach
Thank you Sir, I have tried your method and i must say i am very impressed with it. This knot refuses to break.
caught a 2.5 kilo one in RBY.....it regurged baby crayfish
The top of the spool is it made out of plastic ?
Howzit ray. Do you still keep the poseidon 5 piece in stock?
I gt the Bg 8000 absolutely rubbish reel..prefer the penn slammer..
Isn't pr knot meant for braid to mono/flouro?
Have you stopped selling these bait float dangles
Do you lose the lead on every cast?
Is this made on the same frame as the CT?
the key elements to a optimal PR are :- - open spiral inner wrap - closed spiral outer wrap Load sharing between the mono leader & braid mainline is the interface between the mono & the inner wrap. the outer wrap pressures the mono & the inner wrap together. By opening the inner spiral the outer wrap increases pressure on the inner wrap by a factor of 5-10 to 1........this is where the braid gets its grip on the mono. The point where the mono enters the braid spirals is a critical point where the load sharing commences.............the more perpendicular the braid is to the mono ( ie closed wraps ) in the inner wrap the more movement there will be when first applying tension to the join & where most sub-optimal PRs fail. The more parallel the inner braid wrap is to the mono the more efficient load sharing is & the less movement in the join under high tension.
DONT GET! The handle clicks. Seems nice and light. But the black handle part clicks after 20 days of fishing
Do you only do the top?
Baitkeeper hook
Love it, tnx Ray

Hi what current rods would you pair with the 30 40 for edibles
NO SHAKING WHEN USING LIVE BAIT, SO MY ROD IS PRETTY HARD, NO NEED TO SHAKE WITH LIVE FISH BAIT
THE BIGGER THE BAIT THE BIGGER THE SHARK, NOT SURE IF THIS TECHNIQUE IS WORTH IT FOR ME, SEEMS LIKE IT'S ONLY GOOD FOR ROCKY FISHING LIKE THE JETTY
CAMERA MAN IS A DORK, ZOOM IN PIMP
I know im a bit late bit learning how to slide now, must u slide the shad all the way to the bottom of the trace or just till it hits the water and let it swim to the end?
is it not better to be standing the way you are going to cast?
My grandfather use to sardines for bass and pike and catfish and it worked for him.i never thought about it much so I figure why not try something diffent yes catfish pike steelhead fish will hit on diffent times worms and maggots even chicken liver plus lures insect bugs u can buy at sporting stores u can put on lure or hook .catfish use sense of smell find food to eat so maybe why sardines worked for my grandfather back in day because nasty smell off there fins .
Nice nice!!!
What action is the saltiest 11”6 rod?
When adding a braided leader to braid is it about 2 wraps on the reel then throught the guides to the drop you want to use??
انت عبقري ياصديقي
مرحبا صديق انت راع ومحترم اجو منك ان ترجم من الانكليزي للعربي انا صديقك من العراق وانا اشكرك
جدا جميل الربط الواير ياصديقي
Why keep a kob? Eat a black tail or hake. Let these fish repopulate or your kids will never catch them
What's the différence between saltiga 50H and saltiga 50ha The best for very heavy surfcasting Thank a lot for your reply
fasjonabel hårklipp - synlig veldig godt, utstyrsmerker er ikke synlige i det hele tatt, små pakker langveisfra (
chapstick. it seats a knot better thank anything else I tried. apply sufficient onto your lips before you start with the knot and use your lips to apply it to the knot before you synch the knot. it seats the knot Best.
Thanks buddy I will visit you soon vincent
Do you actually need to do the nylon and zip tie? Can't you just put your hook through the bait instead?
Have turned to using Circle hooks for quite a bit of my beach fishing recently, and attaching my hooks with a perfection loop knot, so the hook has plenty of mobility👍
Nice master
Have been using similar to these dangles (plain ones without the floats) on my rigs here in the UK during the last 2 summers now. Use them on a pulley rig for smoothhound baited with peeler crab, as the baits are only small so dont need the weight in line with them. And a dingle dangle rig for bass and skate using bigger baits, it works an absolute treat. Nice short fat juicy mackerel squid and herring baits, and have only had a few missed bites. Am going to try a floating one for bass, never thought of that tbh.
No bra...Masks didn't work, they would never have worked.
Hi. Is it suitable for lures between 5gr and 15gr? Thanks
its is accurate the weight for mustad lip gip scale measurement?
Love it very nice explenation. Me and my boet are out in Wa Perth. We are boytjies from SA. Man are we giving these Ausies carrots here on fishing. Caught in 2 days 2 Amberjacks and 2 Samsons between 20 and 30kg,s
You're not giving anyone carrots, sweetheart.
