Reels & Rods for Light Tackle Fishing

[@benjijunior971]

"Spend as much as you can!" I like that concept, rather than you buy cheap stuff that most of them break easily, and you buy a new one again and repeat that process. Maybe not all of us could buy high-end quality product, but with "that much" price we spend, we got "that much" quality (i learnt that from collecting knife) Greeting from Bali - Indonesia It's a trend here, we all do Ultralight Fishing (below 8lbs rating rods), but because of this situation and all access to the beach are closed, we change it to micro fishing. Its super fun, remind us of our childhood. Hope this pandemic will over soon, and we can do the thing that we all love again? Tight Lines!!

[@dscott2542]

Your words on the spend is so insghtful and true mate, I have been fishing for YEARS!! with mainly low end equipment due to previous life circumstances. I have built myself into a position now where I can actually afford decent gear and I am absolutely blown away at how much better it is to fish with the higher end gear (Daiwa AIRD and custom built Gary Howard rod). I also loved how you mentioned going to a good tackle store, I love going to my local tackle store as I have just customised a Garry Howard outfit for my girlfirends first major package, the rod eyes have been re-bound with hot pink binding and it has her name embossed under the epoxy. I am doing the same for my daughter when I get her first outfit as well, this is how we build great memories and appreciation for what we are doing, if you can do this sort of the the meaning behind what we do is so much stronger. Cannot wait to see the rest of the series

[@nathantaylor1434]

This video was super helpful, im 25 years old and just learning how to fish. I've never had anyone to teach me how to fish so its a fun learning experience. Thanks for the awesome vid keep them coming

[@Briggsy]

Glad you enjoyed it Mate!

[@Vas1984]

Looking forward to the series!

[@pacman5590]

Looking forward to your light and medium tackle series - interesting you see a 4000 reel as light! I love my 1000 sized shimano ultegra on a 1 -5g rod - great for bream & flattys!

[@mhealy50able]

Great idea, my soon to be 6 year old is going to make a notebook of your tips! Great summer project for him. Thank you!

[@dannysvt88]

Thank you so much bro!! I used to fish a lot as a young bloke, life got in the way and I sorta fell of from it. Now my nephews are old enough I’m getting stuck back into it. Ur videos are helping me out massively! Appreciate ur work bro!!

[@kyedisson8415]

Dude... Having seen you fishing with MT and ya kids on the beach... Even seeing the first 30sec of this... I love what you're doing for young or beginner light tackle fishos... Gold.

[@kenrobison9528]

May God-bless you and your family for teaching others. We love your videos here in the States. Have a great life.

[@Ready_Fire_Aim]

I use the Sol iii 4000 few times a week for softbait. On a TD black macka rod 10lb 8 strand braid. Best setup ever... Glad you featured it.

[@pranicmegan]

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO IDEA MATE !!! I'm an old girl who grew up with a fishing rod in my hand. I teach all the kids around me when I'm out there, they seem to flock to me. I like to give them a bait bag or small tackle kit as a gift when I'm getting ready to leave to go home. I got 48 years fishing experience and yet I still learn a thing or two from you! I think your instructional videos will be a great boon for the young 'uns. GOOD JOB !

[@Briggsy]

Awesome to hear that! Those kids would be so stoked!

[@pranicmegan]

@@Briggsy yeah mate they were. I got little friends all up and down the NSW coast line. I'm sure they look for me haha.

[@certifiedbrokanic]

Just catching on to your channel. You'll be surprised that your helping even 55yr old men like me learn to fish. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm starting to get that pump when you cast 100 times and finally get that fish you were looking for!

[@Briggsy]

Cheers Mate, stoked you're enjoying it 🤙

[@certifiedbrokanic]

Possible to do a video on what to look for to avoid snags, and how you pick your tackle when dealing with rocky shores and where to cast. I live on Oahu Hawaii. Not sure if we are just fished out here but most guys cast with just a bubble float and grubs. I can't imagine your GT have a different instincts than ours. There is one tackle shop selling Malosi, but I haven't seen anyone here use them.

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, floating stickbaits are my go to lure for GT, something about the action of them GT find really attractive. Also because they're floating you never get snagged 🤙

[@certifiedbrokanic]

Thanks! I figured floating was the best bet. And it looks the great when the fish hit it!

[@konkaraka]

Well done lad. It's a big responsibility to teach people your ways of fishing and pass on knowledge. I am amazed with your ethics man. Keep on the good work you make all of us proud.

[@liamberry5377]

[@donteventalktome]

I bought one of the td black 4000s last weekend. Yet to catch a fish with it but blown away with how light it is. After seeing the fish you've caught with it I'm itching to Christen it 👍👍👍

[@antthomas3513]

Great idea to do this series Briggsy. I've been fishing since I was a kid but I think I'll learn plenty because fishing has a bit of the secret arts about it. Really looking forward to it.

[@hazza196]

Looking forward to the rest Briggsy! I remember watching the moonphase and best tide times to fish on fishflicks where you and Cavy explain in detail, it taught me alot! Keep up the great work mate yewww!

[@WhiteGhost21]

i only use light tackle, and i caught a 20lb+ eagle ray yesterday on my stradic 3k with 10lb braid, 30lb mono

[@danishdaniel785]

How much line you got in your reel?

[@yepyep340]

Do a series that climbs Coconut trees, and cliffs, jumps around rocks, and just be your original BAD ASS legendary self bro! So RAD!!!

[@mungbean84]

Awesome idea for the series mate. Not just for the grommets getting into fishing, but for parents and other adults who might have young ones who are keen and that didn't grow up fishing either and needs the simple advice to help keep their gromms frothing.

[@morgziess]

Hey brigs ! Your music teacher did an awesome job,and so did your dad Keep the vids coming

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER VID! And u came through with a banger like always

[@arielee343]

Keep filming pal,your content full with education and adventure..thanks for the tips..

[@hopebear06]

I forked out $300ish on my first decent reel and $100ish on my first decent rod (not a KMart one). Caught 51cm flatty and absolutely stoked! On the way home from Wardell pub for a celebratory coldie the aluminium around the bung hole came out. I shit you not. I ended up paddling for an hour in the dark balanced on the up turned hull with my dog sitting on my shoulders. Lost the lot but saved the 15merc motor and boat. It makes for a funny story but my KMart rod will do for a while again. Trying to learn to catch beach worms at the moment. Cheers.

[@Briggsy]

Haha gnarly mate! Glad you made it back to shore!

[@AdrianStruwig]

Awesome idea mate. I’m so rusty when it comes to this stuff and I will definately be needing it for when my kids start fishing!

[@vincegum974]

Amazing purpose for the video! You’re amazing Briggsy

[@arminmuminovic8372]

Fuck yeah briggsy mate, loving the idea of a series like this, huge

[@Tryscore]

Like a number of commentors been fishing a long time, was taught by my dad (rest his soul) but looking fwd to this series for many reasons: your content is sincere, you know what you're talking about, I respect your attitude and opinion, we will all learn something. Cheers dude.

[@gibsonrsa123]

Nice dude, great idea doing a series like this. You're a legend. 👌

[@dantheman5222]

Great vid, I have 3 or 4 of the Daiwa rods and just bought the limited edition TD Black which I love also the TD Black 5000 reel and a few 2016 saltist 2500-3000 great stuff I love using them NEW People just remember there is a big size difference between LT Reel range and HD reels when buying online EG a 2500 LT is smaller than say the saltist 2500, as well as Shimano reels, are smaller than the Daiwa reels. happy shopping kids

[@Jimexter]

Love this idea Briggsy! Keep up the great content

[@ArsaGauri]

My set up for saltwater fishing, Rod : Daiwa IKA X 86ML Reel : Abu Garcia Cardinal III sx 2000s have 2 spool, one for squid fishing and the another one for fishing fish. Line : Jabrix HS 0.5 Lure : Egi 1.5,2.5 & 3, Minnow 5cm - 8cm weight under 20gram and Metal Jig 10gram.

So basically it’s a encyclopedia on fishing from the legend himself 🤙🏻🤙🏻 frothin🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@JEWildsFishing]

Good idea Briggsy, the one playlist to answer all the "what gear" comments that drop. Bro the haircut looks clean, have you even been in lockdown 🤣. I've got a mop on my head at the moment

[@Briggsy]

Lol I always cut my own hair bro! Used to use a mirror in my hand for the back zone now use mobile phone haha

[@JEWildsFishing]

@@Briggsy haha skills bro!

[@yblignomis]

Thanks for doing this series, it’s really good timing 🙂

[@danmak9897]

This is a great idea coming from you mate! Yeeww it will be good

[@ethansfishingaustralia9597]

Thanks for dropping your set up mate Thinking of getting the TD one you have will use it as my multi purpose beach rod. Thanks mate love the vids too.

[@Snowkell]

something i recommend if ur starting out fishing is getting a durable reel something that can get splashed a couple times and you don't need to pull apart after every trip. The reels ive had the best experiences with are penn and daiwa i especially suggest these brands because of penns sealing and waterproofing and daiwas magseal. So i recommend a smaller daiwa TD or a cheaper penn spinnfish vi anyway thats what i suggest tight lines yeew

[@96youneverwalkalone]

Love my Penn's. Battles, fierce, spinnfish.

[@cjamo65able]

Great idea Briggsy! Cheers man

Pretty much my setup.. Easy to carry... cast all day no problemo

[@brodiemathews5139]

Yea I’m 14 and have a job but I don’t earn that much I have 2 years of fishing experience heres my favourite budget gear .reel daiwa legalis lt 2000-2500 best rods . Daiwa td Nero. Atomic arrows bream surface rod 2pc best lines for main daiwa j braid x8 for leader line sunline fc rock or pryml mono for That’s just based on my personal experience I have aird lt which is ok but I wouldn’t recommend getting it because you can get a legalis lt for a little bit more which is way better .

[@jakeellingham587]

Awesome idea mate!

[@BAAFILD]

Nice, something good to look forward to :)

[@jeremylongton3606]

Briggsy, I went to buy the sol 3 2500 today, I have medium-light rod, they accidentally spooled the line onto a 4000 model. Is it worth going back in and changing it out… or is the 4000 a bit more versatile for bigger fish? Cheers mate

[@harleybrown9834]

Thank you. Great idea

[@ADITHYAMVINOD]

YOURS BIG FAN FROM INDIA🇮🇳

[@_Murky_]

This series will be very helpful for me. A few questions What exactly does the drag weight rating mean on the reels? The weight rating on rods? And the pound rating on lines?

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, if a reel says "10kg drag' it can put 10kgs of pressure on the line when you turn the drag knob all the way to locked, only certain situations you would ever need to fully lock a reel and most the time you'd be using much less than max drag. Weight on rods, if it's a single number like '375g' is prolly the actual weight of the rod, but if you see CW (cast weight) '30g-100g' for example then that's talking about what lure weights you can safely throw with the rod. lb rating on line is the breaking strain of the line in lbs, so if you have 10lb line, in theory you can put up 10lbs of pressure on it before it snaps.

[@FoxMcScrooge]

Totally agree with buying quality. I've still got a twin power 2500fb that's over 10 years old and as good as the day I bought it. Are you sponsored by Daiwa or something Briggsy? Plenty of options apart from that one company. Ian Miller customs are the best light tackle sticks in my view. Zodias is also right up there. Samaki gear is highly underrated.

[@JoseAntonio-hh9hf]

Hola Briggsy, greetings from Peru 🖐🖐🖐... I hope you are doing well... I was thinking to buy those light DAIWA reels that you are using, the TD SOL III 2500S-C and the TD Black LT 4000D-C... Giving that when I go for saltwater fishing I stay inside the water with the tide up to my hip (many times with suspended sand because the waves). Therefore, I was wondering about the resistance to saltwater of these reels. Do you think I can play with them without having major problems? I ask you this, because normally I use VS Van Staal reels which are sealed and I never have to rinse them because saltwater or a wave with sand cover my reel. Thank you in advanced for your adivise... Un abrazo (a hug)...

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, these reels are good with salt water but not like a Van Staal! You can't fish them like you would a Van Staal at all otherwise you'll need regular services! I've had the TD Black for nearly two years now and have only given it one service, it's been dunked once and I rinsed it that night and the reel was still fine after that but I wouldn't risk regular dunkings/sand etc. they're really nice to spin with but definitely much more finesse than a Van Staal!

[@JoseAntonio-hh9hf]

Hola Briggsy, thanks a lot for your reply and hints... I will take them into account. Please keep posting your videos. I always follow your vids and Cavy's ones as well... both are fun and we all enjoy a lot... take care :)
