Wow just seeing this out of the box czcams.com/users/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
current trout set up for me: Phoenix light action 7' rod with a Penn Battle 3 in the 2000 size. Spooled 6lb mono and I use a 4lb fluorocarbon leader. First day I used this combo, caught my PB at Lake Dixon. 7Lb Rainbow. My rig, out the door cost $240. I paid $120 for the rod, $120 for the Penn Reel. They strung it for free with 6lb mono. I had 4lb fluorocarbon for a leader. Caught them on Kastmasters and Hook Up Baits.....grey shad (or something). And as always, great video Mr. Kim!
Wooooooo 7 pounds, TOAD!! I actually lost one around that size last weekend, heartbreaaaaak lol! Dixon puts some quality in man. I fished there on their opener but haven't been back since. Appreciate your positive stoke brotha, thank you so much!
My favorite rod/setup is 6’6” Favorite Yampa River paired with an Okuma Epixor size 20 and that’s a light but durable combo. And second would have to be 7’0” Lamiglass X11 with a Piscifun Carbon X 1000 series. That black on black combo looks stealthy 🔥 and the Piscifun reel is super light 🪶 the Lamiglass rod feels so smooth when you hook on a fish!
Thank you for doing videos like this one. I’ve been wanting to get into fishing for trout but, didn’t really know what to get. This video helps a lot. I love watching your videos. Thank you for all that you do.
The old Penn SS 4300 spinning reels are bulletproof, worm drive and brass gears easy break down and maintenance, pared up with a stiff 6' - 6' 6" spinning rod or a 7' - 7' -6" medium spinning rod for distance can't be beat especially if you can find the old castaways or allstar Rods! And a shock leader of 6' -10' of floulcarbon line double the weight of main line will allow to you use a lighter and smaller diameter main line, a spinning rod & reel will allow to fish any coastal waters no matter how hard the wind blows! A great and versatile set up!
I grew up in Lahabra and at about 6th or 7th grade, we use to ride our bikes all the way down there to buy micro jigs and find Kencore sp3 sp4 rods with a Sigma 035 reel and 2 lb maxima. WE began the super ultra lite craze! "YOUR WELCOME" It was a 3 hour turn around trip on a little bmx by the way but it was fishin, no choice!
Love this so much man. And that’s a LONG ride man lol! The addiction is born at an early age! Not much healthier in my opinion too. Thank you as always!
I love trout fishing, but unlike using topical spinning setup for the job, I prefer baitcasting setup instead, because personally I find it's much more efficient when you're wading in the river/stream targeting deep pocket for trout, flipping and flickering your lure to it. My personal setup is not an ideal setup for the average anglers, I used a Shimano Calcutta Conqest BFS (Baitcast Reel) pair up with the Shimano Cardiff Native Special 154UL-2 (5'4" ft long ultra light: 2pcs) baitcasting rod. For lines I prefer braid to leader, like 6lbs braided line to a 3lbs-5lbs fluorocarbon leader line about a yard long. My personal best trout fish is a 3lbs, I know is not that big, but this the biggest trout i catch so far. About video advice/tips this is a good starting point for the average people/person who want to get into trout fishing ... nice video!
The Shakespeare micro is a solid budget rod for beginners too. I have 4 of them. I'm slowly starting to upgrade to a little bit higher end rods (compared to the Shakespeare) I have a TFO 6'6" trout/panfish rods on order right now. It's in the 90-100 range. I've been told by many that I'll love it. I hope they're right 😁
The daiwa exceler, legalis, and regal are almost the same reel. Their internals are pretty much identical. If those reels are in your budget, go with whichever of the 3 is cheaper when you're buying. I have the exceler and for legalis. They are really great reels for $55 (that's what I paid for each of the legalis) to $65 (that's what I paid for the exceler... It was actually cheaper than the legalis at the time I bought it. I do like the one piece handle design on the exceler but I'm very satisfied with the legalis too. 🤷♂️
For $110, I'd rather go with the BG 1500 over the Fuego. It's tolerances are pretty tight with an all aluminum body and sideplate, and mag-sealed so I can play with saltwater fishies also with my ultralight setup.
yea this vid was awesome and I know I really am not a beginner anymore but I might be a beginner after I'm 18 or after I'm 20+ because I am going to start rainbow trout fishing once more.
I never heard of sav on tackle before until I seen your videos and I came just before they closed so I couldn’t see everything but I was so surprised on how much things they have I picked up a few jig paras for super cheap can’t wait to go back there again
Hello Benjie I just shared your videos to a family who’s interested in getting into trout fishing …. I told them to subscribe to your channel as well 👍👍👍👍
Nice video Benjie! You guys are going to have to make this a regular thing! Still haven’t made my way to Savon Tackle yet because of the distance, but I definitely will when I’m in the area!
Great video. Now I feel like I have to get a new setup or two before I start heading up to the Sierras this year. Might have to splurge on one of those elixirs this go around. I’ve always just gone cheap on my trout gear but should have something nice to make a comparison.
What's up Steve! For some reason your comment was in my spam box and I just saw it lol! I definitely like the elixir, especially as its pretty multifaceted and can handle jigging, spoons, bait, etc. I wound up getting the dragonfly and while I love it for jigging, its not so great for the other stuff.
Thx for this video, especially about the differences between $30 and $200 reels. The weight was mentioned as the main difference, but what about working with the thin braids? In Ukraine ultralighters are focused on thin braids like #0.2-0.4PE. And a quality braid of this type costs around $40. And a lot of guys saying - if you'll buy a cheep reel, it will destroy your line, so you need something at least like daiwa exceler. What do you think about this? And one more question - about the spool size. There is no difference in weight between 1000 & 2000, why 1000 is the most often mentioned?
Hi there, thanks so much for such a thoughtful comment. To be honest, I don't have the experience to validate that a cheap reel will ruin braid. I've never personally heard that and I've never experienced that but I can't scientifically refute it either. I prefer at least slightly better reels (I start at the Daiwa Fuego LT) as their longevity is much better in my experience. Regarding spool size, for trout fishing most people here prefer a 1k as the majority of trout are very small and a 1k reel is perfect. But at the same time, it very well may be a cultural preference. I don't think a 2k would affect ones ability or enjoyment.
I have a diawa saltist backbay 4000 for bass fishing and I freakin love it.. im here cause I'm putting together a trout setup so I can retire my 40 dollar Shakespeare combo lol
Awesome man, those $40 combos are the best 😂! In all seriousness, the cheaper combos get the job done. Good luck piecing together the new combo man, should be a nice upgrade!
@@BenjieKimFishing just bass and trout.. although there's a couple bodys of water near me with landlocked salmon, I'd like to catch one.. Never had salmon and I figured you can't get any fresher then that lol
Why have you done this to me? Now I have to get a Fuego 1000 and one of those Phenix Ellixirs in the 6'6" to 7' range to chuck gold Kastmasters in the Sierras and sightfish corbina this summer. I'm telling my wife it's your fault!
LOL, sorrrrrry! Oh man, that would be a pretty sweet crossover combo. I haven't heard of anyone using the elixir in the surf, but I could see it doing very well for sight fishing beans, good sensitivity and plenty of backbone.
@@BenjieKimFishing My old trout rod for Kastmasters is a 6' St. Croix with a Penn 4200 that I'd been thinking about using in the surf, but it's just too precious to me to expose to the sand and saltwater. So the Phenix-Fuego combo would fill the bill very nicely. Then in the Sierras I could rig it up with a different color/size Kastmaster or other lure and take my trout game up a notch.
I use this really nice 10-foot ultralight rod from dick's sporting good (60 dollar rod and reel combo)and I can really get those baits and lures out there, the reel was really low quality but as soon as I put on a really nice lightweight reel, I was catching corbina and spot fin croaker really nice. The runs on the would-be amazing and the rod's bend was really nice. Before fishing seasons two years ago for catfish derbies in the OC area, I'd come with my dad and I'd be catching them non stop and in less than 30 minutes, I'd have my 5 fish limit and go home. You should take your kids to the catfish derbies then Benjie when this pandemic is over, it is very fun and easy for kids to participate. In most lakes, you can use an ultra-light rod or just a decent light rod for those small stockers, and it's really fun to reel them in like corbina or spotfin. Thanks for this video!
I’m using a st crouix trout series rod around 130 ish paired with a pfluger supreme…i use that for my trout magnet setup … I love st croix but bummed they don’t offer lifetime warranty any more… how do you rate that setup? It’s spooled with 15# beyond black 8x braid to a 10# beyond flouro
Absolutely, trout gear crosses over to corbina fishing quite well! Haha, dang man thanks for watching my trout vids even tho u don’t chase em. Means a lot to me bro!
I am trying to build the absolute best trout setup under $250, I'm leaning towards a St. Croix Triumph 6.6 Light/Fast 2 piece paired with a Daiwa Fuego Lt 1000 (or 2500), is this a good setup or should I choose a better rod or different size rod/reel, length, etc.? I'll be lake fishing from the shore.
I don’t have personal experience with the st croix but I’ve heard good things. That sounds like a great setup for the price. If you want longer casting for bait and wait, I’d recommend a bit longer rod. The Fuego 1k is perfect, I highly recommend it for trout fishing….especially for the price.
@@CVNTGETENOUGH personally, I like to mini jig on a 1/32 oz so I like ul but light will work too especially if you’ll be soaking power bait more often than not.
