Subscribed, quick, informative video. Trouble I have when light is the surf pushing my bait back to me quickly.

Can be an issue. Try a star sinker. They tend to hold bottom better than ball or barrel sinkers.

Occasionally I drag out a low mount rod and “yellow” reel. Yes, heavy, but the nostalgic factor gives satisfaction (and, sometimes taylor). These days I adhere to the concept of “as light as possible under the circumstances” and it allows more ground to be covered much easier.

Good vid, and a great tip about the slack line between the two snelled hooks (didn’t know that). The beauty about fishing - you never stop learning 😀👍🏻

So true Steve, testosterone and the ‘need’ to hit the horizon made me buy a stiff Aerowave and a 10000 Stradic many years ago. The reel now sitting in a cabinet under a light 😂

Can I surf fish with a 5’6 ultra light rod meant for freshwater? That’s all I have and I’m wondering if it would still work. Nice video
@StarloGetsReel3 жыл бұрын
You can if it's fairly calm and you don't need to cast far. Gets harder in a decent swell or if you need to reach out a bit wider, though.

Hi Starlo, what size hook and sinker would you recommend for an outfit like what you are using. Thanks
@StarloGetsReel4 жыл бұрын
Eddie, I try to use the lightest sinker I can get away with - usually about thumbnail-size. Probably about 15 to 20 grams (1/2 - 3/4 ounce)? However, if its rougher or windy you might need to go a bit heavier, or even use TWO sinkers that size. Hook size is very much dependent on target species and bait. If I was using beach worms or pipis and hoping for whiting and bream, I'd probably run a No. 4 hook. For salmon, tailor and larger bream using half a pilchard as bait, I'll run one or two 1/0 to 2/0 hooks. Hope that helps. You should check out www.fishotopia.com for lots more detailed info and perhaps think about joining our Inner Circle membership group for as little as 15 cents a day! Tight Lines.

Hi Starlo, what’s the reason for the braid mainline? Could I use similar strength mono on this rig?
@StarloGetsReel3 жыл бұрын
Sure you can. I use braid in most applications (for its low stretch and fine diametre), but mono will certainly do the job.

What rod is that mate?
@StarloGetsReel2 жыл бұрын
One of the Light Surf models from Shimano. They have made them in several of their ranges over the years. Very nice rods. Either 10' or 10'6" in length but very light.

Hi Starlo, what rod length type are you using in the video?
@StarloGetsReel3 жыл бұрын
It's a Shimano Impact Nano Coastline Light. Not sure if they still make that exact model, but there'd be something very similar in their current line-up. About 10 feet to 10-and-a-half feet long.

@@frankleon6708 they are designated as either Light Surf or Coastline Light, depending on which Shimano range they come from. I also use mine to throw lures from the shore -- chucks a 20 gram metal baitfish profile into the next postcode! My favourite rod on the rocks, too, when fishing lightly-weighted baits of peeled prawn tail or cunjevoi for drummer, bream, trevally, etc. Very versatile rods on the beach, rocks, jetty and even the shores of bays, harbours and estuaries. Can double as a float rod for blackfish (luderick), too.

@@StarloGetsReel dude sounds like the whole package I really am gonna get one cause being light makes all the difference when holding and carrying casting for long periods of time plus switching to different rigs too makes it the one I need I usually fish with a seven foot rod ten pound braid throwing only lures but I need more distance for throwing baits or egg floaters sabiki rigs

@@joey243win you could, but I find the longer rod much better in the surf. Casts further (when you need to) and helps keep the line up above the shore break, which stops it washing around and makes it easier to feel bites.
