What did everyone think of the intro? Too long? This time I did the teaser clips and the regular intro with one piece of music over it.

@Off_The_Top_Fishing Ай бұрын

I didn’t find it too long at all. I noticed you have shortened each of the ‘sections’ on the regular intro? I felt like everything was going faster

@pammcdonald9890 29 күн бұрын

I think the intro was great. Shows a huge variety that con be caught on ultralight. Salt down Portland way and Fresh in surrounding areas. Good presentations all round. Keep the vids comming

Were you looking for a travel rod in spin or casting?

@paulstreiff5388 28 күн бұрын

Good stuff. Excellent description of gear. Goes to show that you dont need to catch big fish all the time. Seems to catch more on ultralight gear and more fish too. Keep up the great work

Very true!

@MrFowl 29 күн бұрын

I can't speak for the rod, but the reel is fantastic (especially fantastic if you replace the drag grease, that makes the drag even better)

@yep.fishing 29 күн бұрын

I will try that. I didn't want to make any modifications to it for the review.

@MrFowl 29 күн бұрын

@@yep.fishing another easy mod is slightly (slightly!) bending the spring that makes the drag detents. That will make it much easier to feel when the drag engages which is super useful if you're using 2-3lb line. It took me a few tries (bending it looser, woops too loose, tighter...etc.) before I got it right.

@yep.fishing 29 күн бұрын

I think I've seen that done on other reels from i.fish. thanks

@RicardoReview Ай бұрын

very cool looking combo and the reel is pretty good not just for its price, I just wish the rod had a slimmer bottom, so it isn't always rubbing on my arm. PS that tham barracuda running away, but at least we could get a glimpse

@yep.fishing Ай бұрын

Hehe would be lucky to land it. I caught some with 6lb leader but this was around 3lb

Great video bro. Nice intro! 3-6g is pretty heavy for UL casting on spinning in my opinion. I mean, I can cast 1/16 pretty well on my tt rods red belly. But anything over 4.5g it casts almost the same. The rod tip bends a lot over 4.5 grams. I enjoy my Light 2-4kg 13 fishing rod at patto with 1/10-1/2oz for salt water. Daiwa exceler of course haha. Just about every aliexpress premium style spinning reel is copying the drag off the new Daiwa range. I mean for $80 it’s nearly half of what I paid for my exceler!! I’m keen on a sturdy all round travel rod for when I go Japan and Philippines soon. Any recommendations?

13 fishing fate quest, really solid rod, nice asthetics

@@Dane_fisher436 Thanks mate. $100! So cheap

@yep.fishing Ай бұрын

Yea it feels more like an L than an untralight to me. Probably because it's more for the American market which is more bass focussed. Also the faster action makes it seem heavier naturally. As for a travel rod, funny you should mention it, depends on how light and budget but check out the Purelure Cedan, there is a 5 piece model that's 6'1 5 piece.

@yep.fishing Ай бұрын

I'll check that out too

@yep.fishing Ай бұрын

Did you think the intro was a bit long? I'm thinking of trimming it down

@Dane_fisher436 Ай бұрын

The combo looks sick man, some decent fish caught as well, as always awesome video🎉🎉🎉 Ps i recently bought some super thin sunline almight line in 7 lb have been casting off lures like there is no tomorrow, i have tried the fg and the double uni but they haven’t worked either do you have any knot recommendations? Thanks

@yep.fishing Ай бұрын

Unfortunately I do double uni. What's the issue? Knot too big for the guides or are they breaking? Thanks for watching

@Dane_fisher436 Ай бұрын

⁠@@yep.fishingI have no idea just every 40 ish cast the knot weakens and my lures goes flying off into the horizon and i lose the leader and the lure on the end of it 😂. I have never had this problem with the double uni knot and i have been using it for a couple years already up until i bought this new ultra thin line.

@Dane_fisher436 Ай бұрын

Ooh actually i think it might be the micro guide train on my new rod slowly chipping away at my knot, but i still don’t know why the fg knot has failed, i probably didn’t tie it with enough tension and it must have slipped.

@yep.fishing 29 күн бұрын

my guess is that the new line is the actual breaking strain it says whereas whatever you used in the past breaks much higher. how heavy are the lures you are throwing?

@yep.fishing 29 күн бұрын

ive never had it happen before, I suspect its the breaking strain. How many turns on your double uni are you doing? I usually do 5 and 5, on thicker leader like 10lb id do 5 and 7 with the braid.
