Wow... How many years have you been doing this ?

JM 501 Definitely! All of us need a refresher once in a while. 👍

This is really great !

Good luck! 🤙

Anotherflores91 lol. Thanks man! Yeah need some warm weather. Miss being out on the water! 🤙

Jeff Yoemans Right? Lol. Gotta change it up sometimes brotha. 🤙🤙🤙🤙

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 shows you are a complete fisherman!! Can't be a one trick pony, gotta adapt to what the ocean gives you!!

Jeff Yoemans Definitely! Go with the flow. Thanks bro! 👍👍👍👍

Trinidad Durazo Will you be using it for bait or plastics? I have a 908mh that I use for plastics and poppers with a Daiwa Lexa 300. If you’re planning to use bait I’d say any small conventional reel would work.

Jigslinger's Fishing Channel I’m thinking as a live bait rig. It’s rated 15-40 but is rather soft and parabolic. I’m very new so I am completely open for advice and suggestions. Thank you very much

Trinidad Durazo Personally I’m not too crazy about that rod as a bait rod. The Phenix Axis 820ml would be better. Having said that it’ll definitely work. Use a light conventional reel like a Daiwa Saltist 15/20 or Fathom 12. Some small and like to balance the rod. Great for flylining bait from 15lb-30lb line.

Bayron Ortega Great idea! Generally you want a surface iron that has a wide side to side action with the occasional kick. They all swim differently so test yours when you fish. Vary your speeds to see how fast you can wind and still maintain that action without it spinning or breaking the surface.

Matthew Horowitz Yeah for real I’m itching to get back out there too! Tackle would depend on what’s biting at that time. Hit me up on instagram when you’re ready to go 👍

Lucas Scott Conventional over baitcaster for flylining if you have that option. I’ve used baitcasters to flyline in situations where there’s nothing else available. Advantage for conventional reel is backpedaling without hindrance from the baitcaster frame. Just more open space to do it. You can also move the handle position without engaging the gear. Advantage for baitcaster would be the ability to cast smaller baits effectively.

I prefer braid to flouro for fly line bait

How much floro do you have over the braid? What pound floro?

@@ajgallardo5 short leader couple feet

Keep your line with little slack so you know what your baits doing, if your bait isn’t swimming properly swap it out

Christian Segoviano Depends on which ‘live’ baits you’re talking about. For fin baits like sardines and anchovies you can’t beat a Calstar 800xlh. 👍

And just curious for the upcoming season i would like to have a setup to fish live bait for tuna and yellowtail. How about the phenix line,which rod would you consider a live bait rod? Thanks btw i like watching all your videos 🙌👌👌

I’m going with your recommendation of the Calstar 800xlh but can’t decide on a reel. Torium, Trinidad, Saltiga or Avet? Thx!

stylezNout Sometimes a small sliding sinker

ioncb Great question! This is what I do when I get a bite: 1. Let the fish take line in for a few seconds (how long depends on how big your bait is) 2. Put the reel in gear and wait until the fish has pulled line taut. 3. Lift rod tip up to set hook (I use circle hooks most of the time but this works with J hooks as well) No need for big hook sets like you see on TV shows. 👍

I use mono leaders for artificials

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 do you mean you top shot with mono with artificials or do you use a short mono leader to braid?

@@Diamondthefisherman braid to short mono leader

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 thank you

Thank you and last question. What pound braid and what pound mono leader for the flat falls?

Belly-butt

Don’t set the hook, put the reel in gear and reel as soon as the fish bites

Use circle hook

And also belly hook your bait

Depends on how big your bait is and what kind of fish are you after. If it’s a typical sardine being picked up by a tuna then a couple of seconds is all you need. Put the reel in gear and wait for the rod to load then lift rod tip to set the hook. 👍

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 yeah he said it better, I caught mine last time on greenback mackerel

David Marin Great point! Gotta be able to use your equipment. 🤙

So even if I pick the good bait , I will not catch until I make the good cast like Jigger ? Why ?

Mc Filthy Mc Nasty With your skills you wouldn’t need a good bait to get bit. You probably wouldn’t need a bait at all.

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 I just want to lean fishing. I've been 3 times.

Mc Filthy Mc Nasty Sounds like you’re trolling from your comments. If sincere then like I explained in the vid...casting away from the boat is required for fishing the downwind side of the drift. Even on the right side of the drift getting your bait away from the boat quickly increases your odds of hooking up.

Calstar 800xlh for 20-25lb test

Depends on what I’m fishing for and the size of the bait. Typically size 2-2/0 circle.

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 what hooks were you using in the video?

Varies depending on line class

Branden's Outdoor Channel He’s a great captain! You do your thing bro. 👍

Fishing on the San Diego with Capt Ryan is always the best for me, it’s my favorite boat to go on since I always come back happy with a good catch

Duaine Williams You’ll do better next time! 🤙

Alex Lin Right on! Hopefully we’ll be back to normal fishing this Summer! 🤙

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 I live in Pv so I can usually fish on the surf but I really want to get on a boat and catch some calicos and tallow tail but love you channel and I hope I can fish with you one day.

12 for flyline

No angle no tangle

David Vizcarra Yeah sound is off. I couldn’t fix it this time.

@@jigslingersfishingchannel3713 im in my office fumbling to turn it lower the volume hahaha.. everyone looking my way..

David Vizcarra I hear ya bro! Been there many times. Lol 🤙🤙🤙

Same here! I've seen it.

Garibaldis are the best eating fish, we should get limits on them😂

@@jeremyletourneau9287 there pretty good but black sea bass is better

@@girabaldytasty6224 nah u cant beat cowcod

@@jeremyletourneau9287 You guys are way off. Delta smelt is, hands down, the best tasting fish in California!
