This is great information. At the end of every night I loosen my drag to release the tension. I was taught to do that when I first learned to musky fishing.

As someone who is 5’6” I’ve definitely been satisfied with only using a rod that’s 7’ or 7’6” - it really is just down to what you’re comfortable throwing and using all day

Can you do a video on setting the hook. I see a lot of people not set the hook very hard especially sucker fishing.

For sure! Gonna do lots this summer related to hook setting and figure 8s!

Yes, this is a great video for beginners! Ben, just thought about possibly doing a video on how to handle the fish. Using the "hold your breath rule" and hook removal. I personally first try with long pliers then if that doesn't work I cut the hooks ASAP. Great job

Nice vid. I was always taught to keep my drag set so line CAN be peeled off on a big run.....and I can see how that's cost me hook-set power in the past. Better to jar bone soon as possible

@rodbelding9523 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I think number 5 is most important. Something I learned through trial and error is you absolutely have to keep the drag as tight as possible. If it slips at all on the hookset that fish is gonna be gone.

I bought a fishing kayak at the beginning of the year and have been trying to catch one all season. I've been going about twice a month and just a few weeks ago I finally had my first follow but no take. It's been a very frustrating process but I'm not giving up.

What would you recommend the 5.1 for what baits

@kolczatr337 Жыл бұрын

Can you give any hook sharpener recommendation, please?

@robsimpson6537 2 жыл бұрын

Referring to point number 4. I’ve caught more on the 8 when I totally ignore the skie upon the follow. It’s in our nature to allow the fish to catch up to the lure. Once I see the fish I don’t even concentrate on it After all it’s mimicking a baitfish trying to escape

@kanalgratisdotcom 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed! I always try to speed up, doesn’t always work but sometimes it gets them going. Thank you for watching!

@ballhawk387 2 жыл бұрын

That's probably the reason too sharp of turns don't work, not being a move a biatfish can actually pull off. I do my short line maneuvers with the idea of looking like a baitfish trying to escape first and foremost.

Quick question. What line setup should I use? Wire leader, fluoro, etc. And are there any go to baits that i should have?

@kanalgratisdotcom 2 жыл бұрын

I run 100lb braid to a 6-9 inch leader. I’d personally run a Stand Wire Leader for versatility. As far as baits I don’t think you can beat any sort of bucktail, and I’d also throw in some sort of soft plastic bait!

@Chillin24Seven 10 ай бұрын

Too sharp of turns and turning into the boat is the biggest mistake you can make in the figure 8.

im sorry but I feel there is no need for such big gear for peopel who arnt about it 24/7 i almost landed a muskie on a super light rod and line but that just what i think and im not a expert??

@kanalgratisdotcom 2 жыл бұрын

It’s mainly to handle the larger lures and figure 8s effectively instead of handle i f the fish itself. Heavy line is important to save you from snapping off larger lures should back lashes happen, and the longer heavier rods will help you better accomplish figure 8s.

@Owen-el4no 2 жыл бұрын

@@kanalgratisdotcom thank you that’s what I thought I fish for them but I use tinier lures and light gear

@ballhawk387 2 жыл бұрын

Heavy enough to suit the lures and tactics, but not necessarily super-heavy. But I learned for a number of pike that got away in weeds in my younger days the gear has to be heavy *enough* to be able to turn and hold them on to keep them out of heavy cover.
