How many lbs test is your flouro leader???
Do you attach lead on the split ring in the front or take it off I see people do both.
Drink every time he says “legal.”
Nice catches. Is that the flash minnow 150SR you used to catch the stiped bass?
So you use a light action Rod with these ?
This was very informative and I love you for thanks 🤙🏾
Got out this morning and fished the ITX CB1000 for the first time today. Great little reel. Got a really good bean, just under 24 inches, 10lb straight braid split shot sand crab. 2 hours fishing and around 10 casts total. All fish feeding single again made it rough. That reel has a great drag, very smooth.
Great info . do your self a favor. Don't go. If it is lighting out. You are holding a lighting rod .
Bomb
Yo guys, I have an 8’6” Hawaiian custom which I love. But I’d like to get a longer rockaway. Should I stick with a 10’ or go for an 11’? Thanks in advance
Cook it then.
Dont get Phenix they are known to break
Hi, not sure if you mentioned what was the test line you were using?
BK My wife got me an Okuma Rockaway RA S 10-2 rod for my 81st birthday. First time out on SF South Bay I caught an 18" striper on a Battle Star. Super nice rod. It casts all: LC, Calissa, Battle Star and Spook top water lure -GREAT! Balanced well! Out of my many, many rods this one may now be my favorite.
Just found your channel man. I’m a freshwater guy mostly here in SoCal but looking to start hitting the surf a bit. Happy I stumbled on to your channel. I’ve only got to watch a few vids so far, but I just wanted to tell you they’ve been great. Keep up the good work brother. 🎣😎🤙🏽
Looks like the population is gaining a foothold. We have even had some caught down in San Diego.
Was this filmed on a chest rig or neck harness?
Do you have any LC 799 Electric Grunion jerk baits?
bro striper in the socal salt is a dream for me kudos
pretty sure he said this was CenCal in the full video
Curious what the split shot weight is, and if you happen to know of sand crab alternatives for corbina. Thx.
I can't remember exactly but I think it may be a size 3. Corbina will eat almost anything - mussel, lug worms, blood worms, ghost shrimp, along with sand crabs are your top bait options. They'll also eat all sorts of soft plastics - 2 to 3 inch grubs, curly tails, flukes, etc. They'll also hit hard baits like the lucky craft 110.
hey bro, i’m gonna go to bass pro soon to get a salt water casting setup, any recommendations on gear?
The rockaway sp is onsale on Amazon right now. If not, Fisherman’s access has some in brea too.
@@joeong8323 thanks bro !
@@richardpipernp. Bass pro is cool but not as cool as the local tackle store where the employees actually fish the surf and know their stuff.
Great video, dense informative content
Greatly appreciate the encouragement, tight lines!
Rad 🤙🏼
Is that striper alive
You caught that in that surf in 2 feet of water. That’s awesome
the fact these rods can handle such big lures are the crazy thing to me!
what about new daiwa fuego 23 line 3000 is only 7.2 oz and 100$.
Yes, definitely a solid option. I used the older edition Fuego LT for many years. Not sure of the strengths and weaknesses of the new edition. Very smooth and lightweight and a solid entry level reel option similar to the ones we featured in this video.
Niiice!!
Great vid with great info at my favorite shop FA 😎🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Would love to see a video on the X series rod and reel for this type of fishing.
Hi Tom, this episode was filmed in April before the x-series was released but I just got the 3k x-series reel in my hands last week! So much to come on that in the coming months. Not considering the rod yet as of now though but we'll see.
That shop so far from beach lol
True. But for those who live close to the shop, could still make sense. Tight lines!
hwaiting!!
Thank you always Francis!! What kind of fishing have you been up to this Summer??
nice
How do you know if you're on that "300 ft" zone?
I use a Rockaway SP 8’6”med and a 10’ med rod. I fished beaches from Kitty Hawk to Oregon Inlet in North Carolina the past two weeks. They are amazing and truly underrated. Other people fishing were in disbelief at the weight and the power of both rods.
This is an amazing testimonial...I would think the 1002 m+ might a better fit for the waters up there but that's so cool that it works for you in that context. And I 100% agree that these SP's are underrated. Extremely sensitive, has a nice shut off point, and the power is ridiculous. A buddy of mine landed what must have been close to a 50" guitarfish (no exaggeration) with the 8'6" ML and a 1k reel. I feel like you get a lot more than what you pay for with this rod.
My setup is okuma rockaway sp 1002 m+ with shimano nasci c5000xg....pulled 30+ inch stripers
That sounds like a super legit setup, I've never owned a Nasci but I've held them and I've never heard anything bad about them. And it's a lighter profile reel so even the 5k wouldn't be oversized and would match up with the 1002 well. Good stuff!
How is that reel holding up for you brother? Never used anything smaller than a 2500 size stradic in the surf. Really thinking about picking up that 1000 your using, might help with my old man hands, LOL Also seems like Okuma has really upped their game in the recents years
It's holding up great! For our standard SoCal light line stuff, I do prefer using the 1k as it just seems to match up better to the stuff we typically target and catch. For me, it's not anything about function, but it's just more fun. And I can still get fish in quick so I can do my best to get em out again.
@@BenjieKimFishing Cool, just ordered one. Thanks for the info. My 8 year old stradic was on its last legs. Needs service so I figured I’d just bye a new reel. Stradic went through hell and back many times. We should fish someday. I’m sure you’ve fished the beaches I fish down here. Not sure where you’re located but I’m willing to drive a bit. Beach I hit this morning holds some big corbina and spotfin but it’s quite a hike back up , you probably know the beach (San Diego area) .
Those are some nice grade Yellowfin! Surf fishin aint like offshore fishin!
haha yea, definitely a different type of game! Thanks for the comment!
Take my money Fisherman's Access!!
haha thanks for the comment Dan. Hope you can check out their shop, really spacious layout and great staff. Tight lines!
Great looking fish. Had my shot at 4 different beans this morning but they just weren’t interested. They were all feeding individually. Just watching these fish feed and sometimes practically getting beached is always fun.
Man, when they're roaming as singles it is so challenging for me to get an eat. I'm just not good enough lol! Percentage of getting an eat is so much higher when they're wolf packing in 3's and 4's.
lc surf minnow sucks! no distance at all
Everyone is free to use what they love and works for them. As well as expressing opinions. I do disagree with the "distance" remark. I don't need to be right. Wishing you a great week and many blessings.
The LC110 absolutely has a weight transfer system. That's just a statement of fact. I will say that even small winds can affect distance with the LC110. Just checked out your striper, nice catch! Tight lines.
@@BenjieKimFishing You are 100% right. A few weeks ago I wanted to buy a luckycraft but when I picked it up it did not have a weight transfer system. However, I see on amazon the flashminnow does have a weight transfer so I really dont know what type of luckycraft I was holding. I even asked the employee at the tackleshop who said all the luckycrafts they carry don’t have weight transfer systems. At the end of the day most fish don’t need a 200 foot cast to see the lure anyways😂. I’ll definitely pick up a luckycraft when my perch bite picks back up and I deleted my initial comment to not confuse anyone. 👍🐟
Deeply appreciate reading your response, thank you 🙏. The LC flash minnow is my favorite thing to throw in the surf. That doesn't mean it has to be everyone else's favorite too. But I'm gonna share and film using the stuff I enjoy using...and everyone else should do the same! Wishing you an abundant season out on the surf, tight lines!
@@BenjieKimFishing I also wish you a great season. Love the videos! 👍🐟
Great content Benjie. Living in Vegas i don't get out to the beach often as b4 but i want to get into surf fishing so i can have an excuse to get down to So.Cal more.👍
Really appreciate the comment Joe, surf fishing is definitely a fun option we have here on our coastline. Tight lines!
What is the 130sp u using?
It's the Flash Pointer 130S...I can't remember the specific color. It's 3/4 oz and a 7 ft diver. They're actually gonna be shipping the 130MR very soon which I'm very excited about. I have a few prototypes, pretty much looks identical to the FM110, just in the 130, and it's a slow suspending.
Hey can you tell Jake to get more LC110s. I watch your vids, go there to get one, and they’re always low on inventory and styles so put in a good word if you could man lol
haha gotcha! Thanks for checking out the video and supporting that shop!
Hey I was just there on Friday! Niceeee
Awesome, it's a fantastic local shop!
Another great video Benjie! I love my Okuma Rockaway SP 8'6" ML. Will be picking up the 10' M+ next.
Thank you Eugene, yes sir, I really believe that the 8'6" is an underrated rod. So sensitive yet has the necessary backbone for bigger stuff. Mike's guitarfish that morning was a perfect example of what that rod can do. You had a great morning out there today Eugene, congrats! And wishing you a great rest of the day!
Is this an okuma commercial?
Certainly not my intention and thank you for the comment. Really helps me know what people are seeing and thinking.
Great video Benjie I will go and check them out.
Thank you so much always for your encouragement and checking out the vids. Really appreciate it. Wishing you a great start to the week!
@@BenjieKimFishing likewise brother! We need to link up again!
ITX CB needs a Salt water specific model. Seal It, and make it corrosion resistant.
I agree that a sealed reel that is smooth and lightweight is ideal. Not sure that it's possible. Van Staal and a few other companies make sealed reels that are very nice. I've never owned a sealed reel as such but I have held them. A little heavy and not as smooth. A fair tradeoff in my opinion. You also pay for that advantage and for those that can afford it, it is a very valid option. The ITX CB is built for freshwater and inshore and obviously not sealed....like the vast majority of reels sold and marketed for the SoCal surf market. I'm not quite sure what you mean by corrosion resistant, but this reel was built for the rigors of saltwater inshore fishing. I have zero issues with how the reel and how it is marketed. But that is my personal experience only and I cannot dismiss your experience or others. Thank you for the comment and tight lines!
@@BenjieKimFishing I bought an ITX CB on your recommendation. I ended up using it for freshwater fishing and will likely buy another or 2, great reel. I used Penn Authority 4500s (my preferred surf size) but switched to the Van Stall VR50 to save weight and wear and tear on my bad shoulder. The Authority is a great reel, but is a tank. Some manufacturers use certain stainless steels or ceramic parts to add "corrosion resistance".
Gotcha, thanks so much for the reply. I really do love my ITX cb but in no way is it the end all be all, sounds like you’ve got the right gear to suit your style. The vr50 is def nice to have for sure.
