The kite you see in the video is bought from "Paul's Fishing Kites" in NZ. It is the Flexiwing Delta Kite.
www.fishingkites.co.nz/kites-k...
I also bought the Skyhook. This is an additional kite that will enhance the flying of the Flexiwing.
www.fishingkites.co.nz/kites-k...
I was flying the combination several times over grass before I tried it today for the first time over water.
The big advantage is the "tacking" of this kite and I practice this already several times.
I was flying and trying to fish today in the Fort Desoto Park in Florida.
www.google.com/maps/place/For...
If you look at this park it will show you that no matter I said NO MATTER where the wind is coming from "360 Degrees" I will
be able to fish there. So you will see some more videos from here....no questions about it.
The kite line you see from the rod going up to the kite is a 150lb tested Braided Spectra Line from
goodwinds.com/line-winders/br...
All "hook ups" and "connections" from the Spectra line are "sleeved" with a 200lb Braided Dracon Line to reduce the friction of
the Spectra on the "pulling" points.
This is not the best video.... but I will have more to come. Filming and "fishing" at the same time is not so easy.... LOL

Lock the reel on the hook section rod then contnue to let out the kite the pressure from the kite should flick open the clip .Pulling the hook section rod from that distance with that amount of line out in the water may not actually be taunt due to drift and line slack. Yea lock hook rod hold it back with a second sand spike and rope tied around rod just above reel to secure the let kite pull out more until you see hook rod bend under tight line tension then it should pop back with kite running out further without any pull on the hook line rod. Than you just have to crank kite reel all the way back in to retrieve. Its a big job but a lot cheaper than a boat and trailer and it catches good when its fish bite time.. I love it.Blows your mind the first couple of time because its next level -brilliance

I have been using one of these for the last 15 years in Auckland NewZealand and TOTALLY disagree with the comments saying it is a complicated system. It is extremely easy to use and is a robust way of catching a feed. If you think it is complicated then you may try paying for your fish from a shop instead of doing any work to catch it just to make it a bit less complicated perhaps??

There are others who say it is complicated.... not to me. It is straightforward and I wish I could use it more.

Hello Gregor Sidler. If you are tying the fishing reel directly at the end of the hooks' line and the realease clip at the beginning of it, does it form a large gap so that will prevent the operation of the realease clip? Would you have better if the beginning of the hooks line were tied to the drop line instead, so it could be realesed by the stretched line of fishing reel?

@@gregorsidler3962 All right. But what confuses in this diagram is that does not appear the fishing reel and neither the place where the realease clip is positioned.

Did you catch any fish. Big kite for a small rod. How did you wind that back in..

@gregorsidler3962 4 жыл бұрын

I did not catch any fish that day since that was only the trial flight. Believe it or not, the kite is not that big at all but it flies like no other kite I have. What I'm trying to say is it is the most stable kite I own. I fly and build kites for a hobby and this one really succeeded my expectations. No matter how choppy the wind that baby just stays up there like an Anker. The recommended test line is only 25kg.

How much did you spend for the whole system?

@mynamespelled 3 жыл бұрын

Probably about $350. Today they fish with drones and do not have to keep up with the wind directions and stuff. Paul's got plenty of videos up there on how to do it. The problem is $$$ it will set you back about 2 grand but would be much easier to handle than the kite!!!

This is just superb, been searching for "surf fishing gear for sale" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Wenayden Xenaylee Blaster - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got amazing results with it.
