We're joined by Nate at the H&M tackle shop to cover some flyline setup options as we head into peak summer fishing! These are not the only options out there, but it's what we had in the shop at the time of this video. This video covers lighter flyline tackle vs. heavier flyline setups.

No spinning stuff. I like 5500 or 6500 penn slammer or battle spinning setups for flyline because you can cast farther and the baitfish isn't pulling the whole spool of line to swim. You have to have some muscles for spinning setups and can't lean the rod on the rail, but I prefer it for sure.

You need to try out the daiwa lineup Certate sw , Caldia SW , or BG SW the size 10,000- 18000 are about the size of the 8500 slammer , so lighter and the reels feel smoother on the load

I used my Saragosa 25K last weekend out of Point Loma and we scored 76 YFT. Spinning definitely had the advantage of casting further, but the torque/drag might be a disadvantage when compared to two-speeds.

Forget the spinning stuff, no GOMEXUS REELS??

@FunnyStuffRightDer 2 ай бұрын

They picked the 4 biggest brands that are found in tackle shops and have good support. Gomexus is still kind of an off brand / no name and is not found in many tackle shops.

Braid floats. You can have braid as a backing with several yards of mono with like four feet of floro as your leader. The difference is that your bait will typically swim deeper.

I second the Shimano Torium series reels. They are excellent for the price & cast very well. l have caught lots of yellowtail & school size bluefin tuna with zero issues. Regular maintenance & freshwater washdowns after use keep my Shimano's going strong.

@lukesuder1260 Жыл бұрын

seeker tac80 with a trinidad 16 - cast 5-10 feet past everyone and get bit way more. not a cheap setup but worth it. best 25/30lb setup imo. 40lb braid to 25ft of fluoro with an FG knot as connection.

Accurate tern2 all sizes come in lefty I feel it's a step up from a torium. Toriums come in a 16,20, and 30 size. Really, it's the same size spool, just wider. I love my daiwa lexa HD 401 holds 250 yards of 65# maxcuatro

I have an avet sjx with 50 lb braid paired with a dark matter rated 15 to 40 lb i use for dodo/yellow tail. Would that work for flylining bluefin?

That’s a set up that can prob handle up to 40lb fish, anything more & you might be struggling more than having fun

@williamhartsell6390 11 ай бұрын

@@bojacksonsuperturtle7411 yeah for fish up to like 40lbs. You gotta understand that the big fish gear is expensive because it's designed to handle the big ones. My biggest I got on a kite rod with a talica 25. But I've slayed bluefin with a penn senator 4/0 and a glass baitstick back in the early 2000s. Don't read too much into it. Make sure your knots are on point.

I mean if ur gonna recommend reels that are up to the $500 price range might as well show the quality stuff. I mean if ur gonna drop more than $300+ on a reel you need to do ur homework n make sure ur making a good purchase. Show em the Avets, and Accurates. Maxel reels. Why not Gomexus? Their up with ANY of these brands in quality and for under $300.

Good stuff guys….. sorry to say, but I don’t consider any of these reels as “starter reels”. Of course you can go top tier with any manufacturer, but there are many “starter reels” that you don’t and probably should not promote or carry. I only say this so that folks that are new do not feel they have to spend top tier money to get a good reel.
