Thanks!

Yeah mate, seems to work fine for Aji who are quite happy to take a small lure that's either sitting still or moving up and down once in a while

Great idea

Such a great spot!

@@FishoDavo My local spot there, Yesterday was really murky water and no luck, but I will try again tonight. I hope see you there.

Ah I'm back in Auckland now, I was just in Paihia for holiday last week

Thanks for your tips and kind comments, this was more my travel fishing set while on family holiday, so the rod is a bit heavier, I do have a much lighter set at home. I have seen some friends use the pinky line, I haven't done much research on it myself, I've just changed my setup to 6lb line, so look forward to having a bit of fun on this lighter setup

i use 16lb 0.6pe main line with 6lb fluorocarbon leader works great for me. interesting to know that traditionally it’s polyester line

Thanks mate, Paihia wharf very pleasant fishing

Yeap it's very good

Thanks Peter 👍

Thanks for watching, sounds like you have the right setup for Aji fishing

@@FishoDavo Thanks for the advice my friend, waiting for your great videos

hey just wanna join in on this, depending on the size of the fish at your local you may want to get a lighter rod (UL instead of L at the back of the rod name) as it will be more sensitive and delicate in a way

@@zelenang3537 so true, UL is a lot of fun

also wanna add on, if you wanna have the most authentic ajing set up, you should get an ultralight rod with a solid tip as it will be very sensitive and fits the ajis, essentially scaling down a set up for trevallys. You’d also want a spinning reel size 500-2000 for the same reason as the rod, and polyester line (34 pinky 2.3lbs or aji no ito 3lbs) as it is the densest line you can get and it will help with sinking the lure since aji lures are really light and it gives the best action for your aji lure. but if your local has really big fish that you might accidentally hook up to as well, consider braid anywhere from 4lbs-8lbs as it will have stronger tension resistance and will help bring the fish in faster.

Thanks for your kind comments :)

Thanks mate, it was a really nice spot to fish, I went there every night for 4 nights in a row

@@FishoDavo I would do the same mate you entering aji comp

@@OutdoorsWithCWest Still thinking about it :)

I think it was about 1 and a half inch from memory

Ajing is light line and casting, so if you can do that with your baitcaster setup then it'll be fine

Paihia

Yup
