We do our best to help customers whether they're seasoned fishermen or have never used a fishing rod. I made this video showing my normal routine when helping someone chose a solid and cost-effective dunking set-up along with making sure they're fishing responsibly along the way.

Do a “what’s in my tackle box” to give folks an idea on what to usually bring holoholo

[@BruddahBill]

Lol, Tackle “boxes”

[@ScubaChris]

Very nicely done Bill. This'll help the beginner angler to a family taking their kids out for the first time:)

[@jacobm6310]

Love this, thanks for taking the time to help us beginners. I'll stop by in the next couple days!

[@OffBrandGolf]

Haha. Love the POV idea. Really awesome and thanks for the help.

[@MrJakd07]

Bigs thanks Bill. Just stopped by the store today and picked up a similar package. Your bro helped us out. Can’t wait to start fishing with our kids 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@HiFishGear]

Awesome really happy to hear this video helped another person 🤙🏽

[@CatchingColorado]

Exactly what I needed. I have fished Maui a few times but not with my own dunking rig. I am looking to buy one for my two-week trip. This video was PERFECT. I plan to visit pearl harbor and I will pay a visit to your shop to say thanks! Mahalo.

[@keanusofa]

[@kilewilson2978]

Awesome place highly recommended!!!!

[@rhvzenfrm9446]

I shopped here one time my dad bought a reel and he also bought Cajun line

[@jonathandelarosa7638]

I order a bell not so long ago and I love that damn bell, I use it on my 13 nitro ulua rod that matches my green avet. I live in Texas by the way 🤙🏽

[@jamesrogers9418]

I was in there yesterday asking how to fish here. I wish I had seen this video before then.

[@loganfishbeard]

Great tip on the regulated species tasting good! It makes perfect sense😆Do you have any advice for fishing Haleiwa in March?

[@braddahkuponz]

Cheap poles have the ability to put in work though, that's for sure. Been using a Daiwa D-Wave 10' Rod that came as a rod/reel combo from costco for like $40. Reel was junk and broke fast but I just paired it with a Penn Battle 2 6000 loaded with 65lbtest powerpro. in the last couple years I landed everything from ta'ape, to'au, omilu and white papios, o'io, moi, mu (just caught one 4lber friday night), and too much puhi to count. Still waiting for the ulua on the spinner though 🤞

[@albijayb8064]

Killah action braddah! Crazy, I seen this comment cause I just landed a 29# on a 7' diawa sweepfire. 20# test. Just like you I switch the reel from the original set tho

[@anglersinsight1371]

Thanks bill!

[@Apo529]

Question, I bought a 12 foot heavy medium nitro for dunking. Any recommendations for a real to match that pole?

[@ManaBoi808]

❤ I catch n release no mathhaz. All Blessed catching. Tip to all. No Smoke No contamination the hands touching hook bait line swivels. Fish can smell it.

[@kayenkeoho1788]

Do you guys do give always or do discount codes

[@PatriotMango]

bill are you guys gonna carry the new penn slammer 4's

[@Dailydoseofcringe-x4m]

Can you tell me the rod/reel combo? I’m on Maui, can’t make it to your store

[@xijinpig4211]

I am just getting in to fishing but I want to catch 1000 lbs black and blue marlin what starter set up do you recommend

[@HiFishGear]

Charter Boat fishing.

[@matthewsmith2051]

[@joeyd7865]

Yes that print out would be cool to have. Hook it up on your website Bill

[@tokai5390]

[@kidzenianhookersuae]

[@dojo1249]

[@HiFishGear]

Yes, whipping is cast and retrieve surf fishing.
