[@grahamgadsdon7736]

Hi Steve have you ever considered hitting a few casting sessions with a braid shockleader.I myself use a braid 103lb daiwa j braid for actual fishing with a 175gm lead upon an M4 EVO ,my mainline is mono 16lb - 20lb sakuma ice crystal .33mm .No out of the ordinary problems have occurred ,i have never measured a cast or cast upon dry ground but in all weather conditions with a baited trace ( 4/0 -7/0 squid lug, squid bluey wrap ) my avet sx magicast displays a more than satisfactory cast. I would imagine with your understanding of the living geometrics and involved coupled with your physical capability some interesting results could be attained . Perhaps even considered for entry for world class events.

[@djrmonix]

Most if not all casting comps use mono shockleaders i have never tried a braid shockleader only braid mainline on fixed spool a few times when fishing

Hi Steve be interesting to see what you think of the veret gloriosa strong if you can get hold of one if not I could send mine over for you you to try

[@andyscoey3593]

Hi Steve, another good video. I spotted the coasters which look great. I went onto UK hooks site. CLOSED. Doh. I was going to order a couple of pairs. will have to wait for a while, Bloody Covid Virus , really messed things up. lets hope it ends sooner than later. Andy

Hi Steve, how is your zeteque orange in colour, did you custom it or it comes original like that? Thanks 😁

[@djrmonix]

Its more of a red. VW mars red to be exact it was done by the previous owner but i refurbed it some time last year. Its just lighty sanded you dont want to remove material, and then sprayed with an automotive aerosol, then sealed with a very light coat of bondaseal(yacht varnish)

[@goose1988]

What's your opinion on a Zeteque GT or TXL GT for fishing? Fish the Shannon so 6oz, big tides, big baits and rough ground.

[@djrmonix]

Defo up to it! Not sure if there is Zeteque gt but defo a txl gt! Also look at Zulcron xt435 GT! I have one great rod cast 220g equal section 14'4 not too expensive either

[@goose1988]

@@djrmonix will do, thanks!

[@damianjones6767]

Great video, do you ever use the hst , if not is there a reason?

[@djrmonix]

Was going to get an hst evo a few years back and got a full tournament instead as one was available but they pretty similar'ish

[@damianjones6767]

I've been using the bullet gt since May for my fishing , bloody fantastic rod , I'm hoping to get back into casting next year ,

[@Coolguyfishing123]

Ever cast the su butt and zeteq tip ?? The ultimate

[@djrmonix]

Not yet

[@CGDreamsTutorials]

Sounds like the Full Tournament is a good rod for fishing and distance casting, mite be a nice upgrade from my Zziplex GSI?

[@djrmonix]

Get one wont be disappointed.

[@CGDreamsTutorials]

@@djrmonix I cant justify that kind of cost at the moment more so as my casting has gone bad, not sure what's done it but it's wrong. Id have to do what I did with my first Zziplex rod, I have to earn the privilege of having such a rod by casting at least 230 yards consistently as a target. My first Zziplex ownership target was at least 200 yards otg.

[@Catcher777]

Greetings! Can you show in detail the ties for securing the coil? Where can I get these?

[@djrmonix]

What ties are you referring to?

[@Catcher777]

@@djrmonix mean the clamps that attach the reel to the rod

[@Catcher777]

@@djrmonix Another question - at what distance can a load weighing 50-70 grams be thrown with such coils? Wouldn't such a load be too light for her?

[@Catcher777]

@@djrmonix I ask because I use 50-70 grams weights and rods with the appropriate test in my fishing and I am going to use the penn 515 mag 4 baitcasting reel

[@Catcher777]

@@djrmonix In my city there is a small selection of "surf cast" and "beach cast" rods, so I am ready to consider the option of purchasing a suitable rod from you. Do you have a "beginner rod" that you are tired of and would like to recommend?

[@daraleas9985]

hi there what do you think about Assassin HCM rods from South Africa ????? I know that the rods from uk its the best but so pricey lol

[@djrmonix]

[@Reelswheelsmeals]

Hi Steve . So I’ve been practicing pendulum casting with my cheap Sonik black sks 14ft rod... I find the tip to stiff for my liking. What zipplex would u go for ? It’s for fishing medium/rough ground and casting practice

[@djrmonix]

Bullet gt. Very powerful rod with softer tip.

[@ronkkorodriguez4740]

Century??

[@djrmonix]

No Century at the moment but might get a t1000 or t1200 again at some stage in the future.
