@@SnaggedBro I have read some comments on revealing your fishing spots it is not in anyway your fault or liability how unscrupulous people from another countries or otherwise whom wishes to behave we pay a lot of money to the authorities whom are supposed to patrol and monitor fishing activities in our canals and rivers the environment agency whom only care about English people they catch without a licence, easy prey whom they can take to court not non nationals it seems too much of a taboo subject in this soooo woke day and age

[@spoony4312]

Yes boys Iive fishing but to scared to handle a pike not because of hurting myself just hearing how easily it is to kill a puke being unexperienced so kinda put me off. But I did purchase a ultra light setup for the perch and git a little jack and was having problems unhooking it. If you could cover that maybe it would give me more confidence. Would love to get more into pike

[@amazingdude1009]

Tom usually strikes that hard that they end up on an Eddie Stobart going North on the M6.

[@jackofalltradesmasterofnon8069]

Dude get your self sone pistol grip players or forceps there’s a grove on the bottom jaw when you grip them there they will open wide and then unhook them.

We will do an unhooking video for sure!

Just discovered your channel boys! Top stuff. Reminds me of what I used to love about fishing. I used to do coarse fishing in the local rivers and a bit of piking. Recently invested in spinning set and plan to hit the local rivers again when the season opens. This video was the perfect refresher for me. You should come over to Norfolk and fish the broads. Got some ome big crocs!

[@amsterdam8180]

Am looking to go pike fishing. And I want an Abu Garcia ike signature rod but not sure which one casting or spinning also not sure on the weight.

[@SnaggedBro]

A good casting range of maybe 40-100 will cover you for heavy lures. If you Anna go lighter maybe 10-40/60? Something around those lines anyway. First decide what lures you want to use and how heavy they are.

[@hazzardoutdoors]

So I have ordered a abu garcia max x combo in special ops camo, its a 10-40g rod aiming to get started with lure fishing aiming at some perch but mainly pike. Is this rod not really heavy enough?

[@SnaggedBro]

You'll be fine picking up pike on it mate 👌

[@adamchurchman]

Great Video guys, thanks. @snaggedbro What make anbd model is the foldable net you are using there, the one clipped to your backpack?

[@furi0us06]

Just got back into fishing recently after 17 years off. Just started lure fishing again. These baitcasters are new to me. Can they go on any rod? Or do you need a special baitcast rod too? Also gret video guys. Getting out on the river tomorrow

[@SnaggedBro]

Hi dude! Great to hear your back at it again! The Baitcaster has its own rod (the handle is a little different etc). So a Baitcaster cannot go on a normal spinning rod 👊🏼 Good luck with future fishing mate! N thanks for watching!

[@ramboj7924]

Replace that lightweight spinning rod rod for bfs and the whole range is baitcaster lol these style of rods are just way better for casting and retrieving lures, which you mentioned.

[@SnaggedBro]

True that! Nice one mate

[@hesalovelybuoy5944]

i need some advice. i want to get an all reound travel rod so i can lure fish for pollock, then perch and trout. theres a 5-40g rod but im using 14lb mono so apparently 5g lures wont cast well. instead of grttin that rod, should i just buy a heavier rod (15-40g) and use heavier lures? if so, what 15g+ lures are there for perch and trout?

[@SnaggedBro]

We're not to hot on Perch n trout lures tbf mate. We always prefer braid on our lure set ups just so we can feel the bites better. Especially with smaller tackle. Maybe that way you could then throw our 5g lures? Hope this helps 👍🏻

[@robertbruce3049]

Can you tell me what make is the the medium rod and reel combo you have described

[@SnaggedBro]

The reel is a n Abu Garcia mgx extreme and the rod is part of the Berkley Urbn series 👍🏻

[@darkscope2248]

I got as well savage gear medium game trigger 10-40g first time baitcaster and im trowing 10g jig head around 20-30m is it good distance or should it be able to trow further than that my magnetic breaks are on 3

What size baitcaster on the heavy rod bro? Got a shimano jerbait rod 40-90g 6,6ft what size baitcaster do i need for it? Got a Black Max but that looks a little small for throwing big lures.

[@SnaggedBro]

I mean the black maxx could do it. Its just a entry level Baitcaster tho. Anything like the Abu Garcia Revo?? That will do ya

i’ve got a 10-30g rod and i need a reel, and seeing all the different size reels and “max drag” is all confusing me, do you recommend any reels to go with my 10-30g rod.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

6:58 the _'bare minimum'_ should have included some information about clubs, licenses & permits. Unfortunately, fishing isnt as straightforward as it used to be 20-25+ years ago. Back then, if you had a rod license, you could turn up at any local canal or river and start fishing. These days, some stretches of canals/rivers/lakes/ponds are controlled by local fishing clubs - They rent the stretch of river/canal/land (which the lake or pond sits upon) from the land owner or the Canal & River Trust and you wont be able to fish stretches of water that are controlled by these clubs & C&RT unless you join them or buy a permit. First and foremost though - You need a *ROD LICENSE* - you can buy these online or at your local post office. Second you'll need to join a club or buy a *WATERWAY WANDERERS PERMIT* - I bought the wanderers permit online so im unaware if you can buy these at your local post office - I dont think you can as the C&RT are nothing to do with the Government - The Rod License is a tax that does go to the government. You could go fishing without any of these licenses/permits but if you get caught and fined by the bailiff, dont come crying 🙃 C&RT will have a complete list of where you can and cant fish on the waterway wanderers page of their website. Money raised from licensing helps maintain and look after the rivers, canals and towpaths - even though some of them do look like absolute bollocks most of the time.

[@PegasusBridge1]

‘It’s better to seek forgiveness than permission’ 🤣

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

@@PegasusBridge1 truth be told. A lot of eastern euros fish my local river and they fish in places where its banned by the club and also by the C&RT so its highly doubtful if they have any license/permit/club membership at all - They still do it anyway. Ive been fishing since last October to the end of march. Never seen or got stopped by a single bailiff. Ive spoken to a few of them on occasion and they all say if they get caught without documentation then they are asked to leave, Bailiffs rarely fine them on the spot. Who is the bigger mug? The guy who turns up and fishes anywhere he pleases or the guy and doesnt get fined or the guy who spent £30 for club membership, £45 for a rod license then a final £23 for a waterway wanderers permit? 🤣🤣 Caught nothing down here this season so i dont think i'll be renewing my club membership.

[@PegasusBridge1]

@@Rose.Of.Hizaki I’m of the firm opinion that lure anglers can politely bend the rules of ‘no fishing’ - we are not setting up camps and staying for 2 days, defacating in bushes and shouting when full of weed and Stella . And often the best spots are those ‘out of bounds’. Now I’m not condoning fishing without a licence - clearly you should have one, and I’m not advocating fishing water that is private - but there’s a lot of ‘no fishing’ signs up that Shouldn’t really apply to mobile roving lure anglers, get up early or fish late and be discreet and you can vastly expand your lure angling horizons 🎣

May be a bit long for continuous casting perhaps. But everyone's gotta start somewhere mate! I think my first one was 12ft tbf. Short rods with stumpy handles are good for casting a lot because they don't get in the way (the rod butt). Be good for a dead Bait tho maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks for watching the channel pal 👊🏼
