good luck on your fishing!

Glad you like them!

good luck

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much

Awesome, thank you!

@@BasicFishingNZ Awesome video man, I have a question though. If my rod is rated up to 5oz does that mean 5oz sinker and bait or just sinker?

i would say 5oz sinker. to play it safe i usually use small bait(half strip of mullet etc) and a running rig to prevent overloading the rod during the cast

@@BasicFishingNZ Thanks man, tight lines 🤙

Thanks 👍

Glad you liked it

haha thank you

thank you for watching

good luck on ur surfcasting!

Thanks for watching!

oh wow haha hope that will encourage you to try out surfcasting more.

Thanks for watching

ive made a video already on it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZN2g9FetdHIn5s.html

cheers man haha u should try surfcasting lol

Bro then I would have to get my fingers dirty haha! Why do you think I f Don’t use gulp hahah!

or u could do the usa surfcasting instead where they throw poppers plugs and other lures in the surf haha

That’s as close as I get lol

yea i could do that in the future

thanks man

nice man! tried to find bigger pvc pipes but so expensive! 3m was like around over $50! was more keen on a 1.5m

@@BasicFishingNZ na bro dont buy it lol. Look around on facebook market place or go to building site heaps of good size off cuts in the building trash lmao

I just put tape around my rod to measure size

Welcome back

@@BasicFishingNZ Cheers.👍 👌👌👍👍😆😊

haha cheers man.

i would recommend going to a store and feel the rod itself. give it a flick and see the action. also be considerate about the size and weight of the rod. if it is light weight and thin it means its a graphite/carbon but its thick and heavy its fibreglass. think the vortex surf rod is a good beginner rod to use

thats a really good question. i had done both b4 in the past but maybe i would go with a cheaper fibreglass rod and good surf reel. at least the reel will b good enough till you decided to upgrade the rod in the future

personally a mesh glove is more ideal: garden gloves and slimy fish don't mix well together although personally i don't bother with gloves. i do use pliers but after my close encounter with the shark, i use more of the hook remover tool

50lb braid

usually 50lb for the trace and shockleader i try to match the same weight.

i would say thats a gr8 beginners starting point the combo. with 40lb shockleader u could get away using a 5oz if ur confident with ur casting ability.

lots of practice

Make sure your nylon or brade is not to thick and have the right weight sinker ,for surf fishing straight off the beach you can go as low as 6 lbs breaking strain,and no heavier than 20lb .

that was smart marine but not sure if they have it anymore

the wind knots r a pain i will admit that especially wen they have line twists but when applied properly, it makes a world of differences for sure. a good advice i would recommend would b to avoid over spooling and wet your braid on ur spool before casting to make it 'sticky'

its an assassin evo and got it 2nd hand

with no rainbow braid kinda hard to tell but my guess would b 100m

oh my......

i would recommend it: mainly to give stretch during the cast and avoids the main line from chaffing from unseen structure underwater

@@BasicFishingNZ oh yup thanks mate

which rod r u talking about?

i had no problem with the aerlex even after going for several swins in the sandy water. still landed good fish with that good old reel

I've pulled a couple apart some won't come apart simply due to the square reel shaft becoming seized in the main gear (anissue I don't have with hex shafts and wind on handles) it's a single shaft worm drive and the other end of the worm carrier runs directly on the reel casing ie no roler bearing like the compact tica model's so eventually it will wear on the body of the reel and the worm drive will become slack and wear out faster than others. The only reason it handled being doused in salt water is because it has nylon bushes instead of ball bearings.

cheers thank you for your comment. hope to see you around too. cant wait for things to go back to normal....

@@BasicFishingNZ ya I am getting sick of lockdown too. Check out those new veritas 4.0. keep in contact let's jam up for a session out west in your back yard. By the way how do you find using dingle dangle? Way I see it only will work on big fish that will eat it in one bite. Doesn't seem to work when there are too many small snapper around.

i do use it but so far no luck on the snapper yet. did land kahawai with them no problem. been using the smaller danglers to try my luck. i've seen the new design, definitely changed from its white and black design

@@BasicFishingNZ ya for me results was same. Kahawai will take it no problem they tend to swallow big chunk. They do have dingle dangle which is just wire and a loop on each end this works well with half philli. Give it a try.

i made my own using thick braid with solid ring before. not as good as the premade ones but still a good alternative. i might want to get a bait needle to sew the dangle through instead of spliting the bait in half

graphite: more modern, lighter, stronger and stiffer so better overall. Fibreglass: old school, bulky, heavy and flexible so still useable but doesn't deliver much compare to graphite

@@BasicFishingNZ thank you for taking the time to explain but someone like me who's on a budget fiber glass is better yes?

yes but there r good priced rods with great qualities these days so its worth having a look around on those in the store

@@BasicFishingNZ will do thank you so much

a shockleader clip? never heard that one before

@@BasicFishingNZ I meant a video clip on shock leaders!

always just the species that has lots of blood

its not good for braid. had a dude use it for braid and saw it cut through his guard. the 'bionic finger' is far more suitable for braid
