Tips, tricks and reels!

[@Rogalandfishingadventure]

Thanks Billy , I finally got brave enough to load my mag 525 with braid , all I can say is WOW what a massive difference it makes ! So thanks for that Billy the tips are fantastic and the fishing was awesome last night 👍👍👍

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Now you're going to start having some reel fun!🤣 I hope you're using a braid leader as well. Don't wimp out and go with mono! Thanks Brother 👌

[@Rogalandfishingadventure]

@ braid all the way with a brand new knot I learned of some Irish fella in Norway , it’s called the BF knot do you know it 🤣🤣 after 1500 attempts I finally nailed it 🤣

[@shunt0shunt016]

I have 300m backing of 20Ib braid on my slosh30 and squal15. Then I get about 230m of 10kg monno top shot. Mostly fishing Perth Australia. But if I travel to my big fish spots I like to swap the 10kg to 15kg top shot. Thanks for the videos

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Are you sliding baits?

[@shunt0shunt016]

@Billyfishing_watch sometimes I'll slide out a live bait. I plann to do it more over summer chasing Spanish Mackerel

Great looking reels , unfortunately I can’t use a multiplier, I get into such a mess with them 😂😂, I gave up and stick to my fixed spools 👍👍🤠

[@Billyfishing_watch]

That sounds like a good idea. Fishing is supposed to be fun! I know some people struggle for years with them, but never learn. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@c.h.fieldsports9876]

@ yeah, I’d rather spend my time fishing than untangling birds nests 😂👍👍🤠

[@trampster7306]

@@c.h.fieldsports9876 I'm the same. Tried one of those little baitcasting reels for spinning. Bird's nest every other cast. Thumb refuses to learn to stop the spool!

@ 👍👍🤠 yep mine too

[@charliecarpenter2840]

Hey Billy, just a big thanks man. Just got back from first sea fishing trip, caught a couple dab and a flounder. Very happy, watching your vids has been so handy and a big inspiration to get out there. I'll be making up your flatfish rigs for next trip as I did have the smaller dab swallow the hook even though it was a circle . Also was wondering about mini dingle dangles, pre baited at home so as to have less mess in the field. Anyhoo all the best and tight lines

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi bud. Glad you like the videos! There's no reason to be pre-bait the rigs. It's just one lug for each hook. on a piece of braid and a bent hook, with no point on it. Just the same as you would do with a normal hook. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@Andy-hr2ui]

Really interesting, Thanks!

[@craigwheaton2506]

Great video thanks Billy, the 100lb leader more for abrasion?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes it is. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@chrisharrison9220]

Billy, much the same as yourself same reels and rods anyways I can highly recommend the penn fathom cs absolutely fantastic reel well worth the money If the 525 and 7ht millionaire had a baby it would be a fathom casting special.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Chris. I was looking into getting the casting special! Looks like a very nice real indeed 😁👌

[@chrisharrison9220]

@Billyfishing_watch I would have another one, but I can't justify it as my 525s are running sweet as a nut as they say but the fathom cs are honestly on a new level again slick super smooth casting and magnets works in revers. When you turn the nob thingy it pushes a cover over the top of magnets.

[@skoskur2271]

top man, "reel"y good vid... will let myself out,, seen a couple of greenland shark in the small nets we have out for the lumpfish, they are totally amazing beasties. they are left to rot for months to get all the toxins out, cut into cubes then sold as food :D its actually (not)as bad as it sounds if you ignore the smell and i do eat it now and again. we took some of it to USA for a rugby tour. the after dinner drinking games (compulsory rugby banter) had americans gagging and throwing up everywhere. great fun !

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi bud. I thought it was only icelanders at the sharks! But I suppose both cultures are entwined, thanks for making the yanks throw up 🤣

[@skoskur2271]

@Billyfishing_watch aye, I'm living in Iceland now. Was fishing north and east - its a different world. Down in the big city now, fishing still mad compared to home, but not many cod here you can stick your head in their mouths :D

Hi Sean. I live at work wherever I am, I live the life of a digital nomad. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@seansweeney7643]

@ Jesus, Billy. That’s seems the way to go these days!. I’m a little older (and a bit thick). Missed out on that way of living, I’m 57 in an Engineering role here in the dreaded Milton Keynes! Bit of a loner but live for watching the likes of you catching a Cod or 2. Long gone on the East coast of England. All the Best! Ps I like that dispatch method, I’ve never been a fan of letting a fish flap.Good on yer x

[@CptLarry0815]

Nice reels, great videos. Found your channel couple weeks ago and already adopted your knots on my spinning setups. Im looking to get into surf fishing myself on the coast of germany or denmark which would be light fishing in your "world" i guess. Could you make a video for absolute beginners on what tackle to use; or on what paramaters to look for in rods and reels ?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi, and thank you! Unfortunately the tackle I use comes from the UK. And you will probably not be able to get your hands on it that easily. But just a standard three-piece surf rod and a fixed spool reel will get the job done every day. If you go into my playlist you will find lots of videos from Denmark about fishing for flatfish from the Danish beaches, plenty of tips and tricks in there that will get you started 😁👌

[@jozsefronai9875]

Those penn torques 550 quid each holly molly !!!!! Billy you must be a millionare wowser!!!! They are nice though !!!!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Jozse. Yes they are expensive! But they will do big reel stuff! If you fish and circumstances where you might come across the fish into triple figures. These little reels will fill the gap, I get that fish at your feet! This is why they have this price tag. Thanks Brother 👌

[@christopherryan2628]

Thanks for another great video Billy. 😎 I’m relatively new to multipliers; I have Penn casting specials with 20lb varivas sport and tapered shock leaders - mostly fish the Bristol Channel. Would you always recommend braid or are there circumstances where mono would be the better choice? Are you more likely to get wind knots / bird nests with braid?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Christopher. These days I fish exclusively braid! What you hear about the line and abrasion is inaccurate, I have never had any trouble with it. I have a video on how to load your reel, just follow the link. Thanks Brother 👌

[@christopherryan2628]

@@Billyfishing_watch thanks Billy, next time I replace my line I’ll certainly use braid. Bite detection and identifying bites vs waves is something I’ve struggled with in general so looking forward to catching more fish! (On the circles of course 😎)

[@Saewelo-returns]

Great video Billy, been using Daiwa multipliers all my life, their smaller multipliers are great for heavy shore work. The Saltigas, Saltists etc. Congrats on that superb Cod last video, most other videos with titles like "cod bashing", etc seem to only feature codling, and small ones at that. Bill, have you any plans to target Hake, or ling from very deep water? All the best brother and keep safe.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes! They make lovely reels. I have targeted hake in the past, and also caught ling as well. Follow the links, thanks brother 😁👌

What's the biggest dab you've seen in Norway, do they grow any bigger there?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Jason. The biggest dab I've ever caught here was 45 cm. Yes they generally grow much bigger. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@warrenbrooks-r2h]

I Love my 7ht mag Millionaires they are great for me with my Century Tip Tornado's on the Fylde coast in the UK. Mostly clean sandy beaches. They like you say cast like a dream. Great Mag system that is useful when night fishing. Been toying with trying 60lb 4 strand braid on one and sticking with 18lb mono with shock leader on the other. Not sure how that would pan out, do you have any problems using braid on a multiplier when casting hard.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Warren. Fantastic reels, no I have absolutely no problems with braid. Just stick with four strand, and use a braid leader. Andrew will have trouble free fishing. I have a video on how I set the reels up, just follow the link. Thanks Brother 😁👌

@@Billyfishing_watch Thanks Billy yes I understand about the four strand, I have eight on my fixed spool lure set up. Going to try 60lb Jof from Ali Express straight through so no shock leader. Only cast 5 / 6 oz leads.

[@alucardhellsing1037]

In South Africa grinder rods and reels ( spinning rods&reels) have simply exploded with the overhyped marketing. From several brands there is literaly over hundred different versions for rock and surf fishing. This as resulted in demise of multiplyer rods and reels.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi, I am aware of the popularity of the grinder reel. But people still use multipliers for slid baits, and drown fishing. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@gavinlangford2984]

Whether using multipliers or fixed spools do you prefer Penn over Shimano??

[@Billyfishing_watch]

In order to answer the question, I would have to own a multiplier that Shimano produced! And I don't have one. But, Penn have been making multipliers for a long time! And they do it well. 👌
