Thanks for watching everyone! I don’t know why I say “as well” so often in my recent videos. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Watching your Coho setup video is like an opening ceremony of my salmon fishing season, spoon casting for Coho is my favorite by far. Hope more anglers do catch and release, maybe keep one or two each season so we can keep having fun fishing in the future. Thanks for sharing Rod, tight line!

I always enjoy your "setup" videos. Thanks Rod!

Super thanks Rod for another set up tutorial. Always enjoy listening to you as your advice is spot on. Prime has some excellent new toys for the fight and wish you both well in the partnership.

Always enjoy your coho spinning setup videos which lured me into salmon fishing, still watching the older ones every now and then although I’ve already upgraded my gears to the top limit😄just love the gear talks. My favorite spoon has almost the same shape (‘little Cleo’ made by ACME), simple and effective, works very well for trout and steelhead smolt too.

Listening to you explain the difference between reels put a smile on my face . You have an unbelievable passion for your equipment. 😁

I really like your set up videos. Very thorough and glad to here that my setups aren't too different

Don’t worry about these little things. You’re sharing great info. Much appreciated! Your previous video of eating the Salmon Head with Kitty and dumping Sockeye Salmon was a good watch too. Thanks for taking the time to educate us about all the work you do

I was looking to up my spinner game, perfect timing! Thanks for another great video

very enjoyable and interesting, was happy to see this for my breakfast entertainment and education! That more expensive reel just spun forever when you spun it lol. Ive never regretted spending more on a spinning reel~ I think I saw those spoons at my local shop, they say made in china on the back, they look exactly like the Mor Tac hammered Stilley spoons I used to buy from California, I still have a bunch and some of your spoons you sold me as well !

I'll be picking up a few of those spoons to add to my collection. Great info as always Rod. Cheers amigo!

Excellent video Rod very informative for hook set and sensitivity also line stretch, compared to a spin cast set up for trout in Interior lakes. I will be doing more river fishing than lakes in the future"depending on the time of year", as I just bought a place on the river in the Shuswap. Again thanks for the tips. Tight lines everyone.

waiting for this to drop for a while now, rod! great video!

Thanks FWR team, happy fishing everyone

Nice video Rod 🎣👍. Tight lines buddy 🤘. Hope to see you out there, on the veder river ( hooked up on a fish) Kitty as well 😀.

Another great video👍 I see you are showing us the prime lures which I have a number of but would love to see what your go to that you know works are? I have had pretty good luck with blue by the way.

Thanks for another great video Rod! Getting very excited for salmon season :) Which Moby net is that? Have you every tried fly fishing for Coho?

I needed this video. Let’s see if it covers some of my concerns on the subject lol

Good job buddy 👍

excellent video. I'm interested in going on the Salish Sea for Coho for the first time in 40 yrs. Your video helped imensly to inform me how to prepare. Most how to videos talk too fast and arent clear. You spent time in explaining important details. Thank you.

Once again, great information Rod. I've only drift fished salmon but this looks great....and would equal packing far less gear. I actually have my levelwind drift setup spooled with braid backing and about 20' of mono as my main. Thanks again for all your great videos and information. It's very appreciated. *BTW...have you considered guiding? I do believe your services would be at a premium.

I really enjoy your videos....wish you did more in Washington State...I also use G-Loomis rods and only Shimano reels...my 2 favorite are the Vanford 3000 and the Symetre which they no longer make. I ordered some Prime lures and Spinners as I don't see them being sold in the U.S

Thanks for the video helped A lot and are they in the vedder yet and if not when will they be

Nice

Do you like fishing jig and spoon with casting rod and reel? That’s what I usually use and it works very well

Prime lures work great used them 2 or 3 years now

Great Vid Rod. We are opposite on lure colours. I start with the blue and silver every time since I have had good success with it. But lately, in the last few years, it has been copper and orange or green and silver crocks. But my best Coho set up remains twitching 3/8 ounce jigs. Have you ever done much twitching?

Thanks for this video Rod. Would you still recommend the 2500 reel for surf casting for coho or go up a size?

Thanks for the very informative Video! What's a good store either on the Island or in the Fraser Valley to find the Shimano Clarus 8.6ft Rod?

ah. had no idea. . I saw those Prime spinners on amazon about 3 years ago when I was looking for an alternative to my favorite Mepps flying C and BlueFox Vibrax spinners. I go through dozens of them. I considered getting the Prime spinners but i thought they were another cheaply made imported random amazon fishing lure that are barely less expensive than what i was using. ...next year

I prefer mono leaders to flouro myself and if your not using hi vis braid and there's color in the water straight to mainline will work just fine lol.

are you gonna make any spinning videos for coho salmon on the fraser? i think that would be really entertaining to watch!

Thank you for another amazing video Rod. Quick question, I have a huge lure box and I have a few size 55 gibbs koho spoons I haven't batted a eye In years. Are they too big? And are they worth trying?

Something I do is add a small barrel swivel between the hook and body of the spinner... helps when coho's try to death roll or pop the hook

Love your thumbnails! Where do you make them & what font? Looking to make a video like yours one day

FINE BUSINESS! We are trolling for salmon off Sooke and it is over $50.00 for 5 gallons of non ethenol gas.You are right to spincast and save the gas for the road!P.S. My biggest coho was 20lbs and I have seen a few 30lb coho. The coho lately are smaller than they used to be.CHEERS!!!

Hi Rod are the Prime Lures sold at Gone Fishing Stores. Up in Port Alberni. Awesome Video Buddy

Hi Rod, thanks for this amazing video! I have a couple questions: Can I use a swivel to attach the leader to the main line, or will that mess up the spoon's action? I only have 12lb fluorocarbon leader STS, is it worth it for me to go buy 15lb? I am also using Gibbs spoons, should I replace their hooks with the VMC ones in the video, or are they ok? Thank you so much!

I have stradic FL 3000 and a daiwa Procyon al 3000. Daiwa is better value. Drag is smoother and holds a 25% more line than the stradic. It is also $50 cheaper. I use it very often and it got spool by sturgeon twice, spool was hot. The reel still very tight without any issue. a suggestion for anyone who are looking for a decent reel

Just got into Coho salmon fishing this year and have already caught 4 fish so I decided to up my setup to a 9 ft G.Loomis 1MX to pair with my 3000 Vanford.

Thanks for so much great information Rod. I just picked up the 9' G Loomis you mentioned...beautiful feel. I got the medium fast action 8-12lbs. Is this rod too long and light for twitching jigs? I want to start throwing spoons and twitching jigs next season but everyone seems to say 7'6" med/heavy rod. What are your thoughts? 🤔 (I don't recall any of your videos twitching jigs?

Fly fishing also works very well. Spinning and fly by far out fish roe for coho. Roe is good for the first 1 hour of daylight

Hey rod, what kind of water are u looking for when casting spoons for coho? Deeper and slower runs?

Hi Rod, should you be using a float with a spoon setup?

Are you gonna come to Vancouver island for salmon fishing?

@Primelures rocks. Caught many Coho on their spoons and spinners.

Hello, where can I find that Clarus rod? Thanks for the video :)

Coho the best. ❤️

They’ll be hell of a lot of pink beads and prime lures hanging from the trees in chilliwack this year

I broke off my biggest coho last year, broke the hook, I think it was from using nippers to pinch the barb, it was also a trout fly muddler minnow

iam usually told by local tackle stores to go for 30lb or 40lb braid for salmon. may be not specifically coho but if i do want to use one set up for coho, chum and chinook all together. is the shimano 2500 enough for something like that? amazing video btw. all my vancouver fishing from few years ago up untill now is all because of your videos. cheers

Thanks for the tips and tricks Rod.....just spent big $$$$$ at prime lures.. lol. may have to stop watching your channel..... expensive...lol!!! Appreciate your videos and your knowledge, has been very helpful.

I am travelling to B C from the U K on the 10 Oct for a week fly fishing the Harrison for Chum, can I expect a good time ?.

Would u be able to make a chinook salmon setup and how to video?

New to salmon fishing.I have a 9"3 rod. Would a shimano miravel 3000 size reel work good for coho?

I’m new to salmon fishing and just bought a couple size 4 blue fox spinners. Would this work for coho?

I use an Okuma ceclilo with a C-30 Okuma ceymar do you think this is a good setup? or should I switch the reel for something with larger line compacity? (I use this for Coho, Pink and Steelhead)

Rod, may I ask what you do when you are not educating us? Fishing spots where I live are being eliminated by gates, no parking signs and my aging body 💔. I haven't had an opportunity to use my salmon Rod in over a year.

You have a link to buy some of these lures and other items?

Do you not use any weights? Im new and not sure what to do with my weight or where to attach it

What power should I use for my first salmon rod

Bro will you take me fishing? I'll drive to B.C.... Great info for newbie like me thank you.

do you think the new shimano nasci reel is good or should i get the shimano stradic

Can you show us how to load the spool up on video?

Thanks for this great video. I just walked out of the store with a new 9' G-Loomis e6x and a Shimano Vanford 2500! I decided to go with 20# Power Pro on the main with a P-Line fluorocarbon 15# leader. October is going to be a GREAT month. Tight lines everybody.

Is the Stradic more Durable than the Vanford?

Can you provide a link for that net?

Dang Rodney, your so excited you didn't sleep and uploaded at 5am in the morning? :P

We know we don't need rain gear this year! But: To swivel or not to swivel? That is the question!

What model of rod is the G-Loomis?

Do you ever just tie the spoon directly to your main?

do a baitcasting salmon setup :)

I liked it before I watched it! Lol🤣

That first lure you are holding is 12G which means its 3/8ths oz not 5/8th

💖💖💪💪

You don't use a fly rod for coho I guess, I love fighting coho on an 8wt.

Can i buy a fishing rod

I'm cheap as heck but hate buying garbage, so I thought I'd chime in with some spendthrift advice that has helped me tremendously, for all us guys using hand-me-downs and ancient gear from our teenage years. The correct order to upgrade your crappy old gear to good quality stuff, starting with the most bang for least bucks... Number one is don't ever cheap out on hooks. Quality terminal tackle is the first place where spending a little more will land you a lot more fish. Second is your reel - there's almost no difference between a $300 dollar reel and a $3000 reel, but the difference between a $30 or $300 reel is everything. Good smooth bearings and easy casting for the win. And for my own experience, one or two reel sizes down from what everyone else uses is usually just fine. Nobody needs 500 yard of line and 20lbs drag. Braided mainline is your friend. Don't pay attention to the old stuck in their ways detractors. Learn some new knots, get better at casting, you'll never look back. You absolutely will land more fish. The last thing to upgrade is your rod. If what you got is working for you, don't change it unless you know EXACTLY what you want to change. Actually pay attention to videos like this and advice from your local tackle shop before you end up dropping good money on rods you won't like and don't end up using. And for my own experience on this one, like with reels, one size or strength less than everyone else is using works perfectly fine. Good luck out there 🤠🤙

I don’t understand why fishing nets cost so much, like average net costs 150-200

LOL peoples lure preference is 1% hearsay, 99% confirmation bias.
