It’s not easy finding the perfect gear suited for your kind of fishing. There are so many kinds of surf fishing rods and reels to choose from! I have been getting a lot of questions recently about what fishing gear I personally use when I’m fishing, so I decided to make a video on it! Here is my whole setup when I go beach fishing!

When surf fishing I bring my 11 foot ugly stick big water spinning rod, my penn fierce 8000, 40 pound braid, and for bait always shrimp and always bloodworms. I also usually dig up some sand fleas when the surf is super rough and save them for the next couple days.

I used to be an avid fisherman years ago. But I stopped & I haven’t really fished in about a decade because life got in the way like it always does lol. BUT… I recently was handed down my friends old fishing gear after he unfortunately passed away. His wife wanted me to keep his memory alive by becoming a fisherman again. So how could I refuse lol? I’m currently trying to relearn how to setup rigs, tie knots & everything else. So your channel has been VERY helpful for me. Thanks, I really appreciate it. If my friend were alive today & Id definitely recommend your channel to him✌🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾

Hey, one quick question. I bought my 4wd truck specifically with this in mind, plus I wanted a truck, lol. But I have found that, where I normally go is bogue banks, you have to have a permit to drive on the beach in some places. Did you have to get a permit to drive on the beach there? Also, for a future video, could you do one where to test or recommend a fishing cart or backpack to carry your poles and gear. I am a disabled vet, and my legs don't work so well due to nerve damage, and the soft beach sand is killer. So if you could do a recommendation video for carts or backpacks that can help disabled people get to the beach, that would be super helpful. Thanks and keep up the great work. I have finally perfected the T knot thanks to your video.

I may get a St Croix and hear ODM rods are excellent as well. You convinced me on the Shimano reels. I used to be a Penn person but don't think the quality is there anymore. I got a BaitrunnerD in June-they're excellent- It's like you said-Shimano's are more refined, higher quality than Penn's. I think with these lightweight reels, carbon rods and 30lb braid line, that's the ideal setup for most surf casting conditions.

Skipper, if you want maximum distance you should try a clip down rig. It keeps the bait inline with the sinker till splash down. You can buy them ready made up or buy the components and make your own like I do.
