Fake vs Real! Mullet Challenge!

[@Delehmes]

Waiting for round two. Great fun thank you!

[@FishyTom]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@karlstokes874]

I have never seen in over 40 yrs of fishing, a rod broken into 4 before! Brilliant video Tom. Some great banter. Couple with some great fish. Love it. Hope you and yours are well 👍👍👍

[@FishyTom]

Well I don't do things in halves you know!!!

[@pradeepinside3893]

Very intriguing and shocking really. 4 people volunteering to spend time in your company. Interesting result in the experiment also.

[@FishyTom]

🤣🤣🤣 thank you as always. I think.

[@rickphillips5098]

I loved this watch! Brought back so many grate memories with my father 🙂. Back when I wasa kid ! We only used mepps no 2 spinner with a inch off rag ! If the rag did not come off the hook straight, we did not catch! We also caught with the spinner tipped with red maggots! Hope this helps anyone who has ago . Had some cracking bass on the same method 👌 also sea trout! Low water was always the best time ..

[@FishyTom]

I've often wondered about maggots! I'll have to give that a try. Thanks.

[@bassblanker5359]

Superb video and a lot closer than I thought it would be, lovely banter too.👏

[@FishyTom]

Yes, it was very close. It was only Liam that separated the scores. The other three anglers were equal.

[@johnycarper1]

Another great video and very spooky only talking to my mate yesterday about the fake worms you mentioned in the last video,he's coming tin to buy some.

[@FishyTom]

It was great to finally get out and test them side by side. I was very pleased with the results. Nice to have something that can just live in your bag for when the opportunity arises to fish, but you can't get any live worm.

[@marianmatevici8515]

Great video, enjoyed it a lot. I do have a question for a newbie, what is the best time of the day to go for mullet/bass in Christchurch area? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@FishyTom]

Hi mate. My favourite time would be fishing the tide down to an evening low. So this time of year, maybe a low tide about 9pm, then fish 6pm to 9pm. I hope this helps.

[@Pricks-d7d]

great content as always mate. have to get mr hand on the mullet, see how he does, never seen him try for them i dont think. learned alot from tge channel. i bought your bagnall bars on your recommendation. looking forward to using them. would like to see you do a d-vice video. i managed to pivk up two from my loval shop. rare as hens teeth now. thinking live whiting from a clean beach for cod

[@FishyTom]

Thanks mate. Wayne and I have had many a session on the mullet. Always a good crack. I haven't used a DVice for probably 15 years or so. Really didn't like them to be honest! Not something I'm likely to go back to.

[@benthemulleteer]

Ace video lads! Really enjoyed that. I fish a bit with a guy who only uses artificials on his spinner, he won’t even take real rag if I offer it to him! 😅 catches plenty too and some real beasts

[@FishyTom]

Thanks Ben :-) I've a couple of customers who are the same! I'm warming to the idea, but think I'll always take a few live with me!

[@ruslanbalikoev2986]

And question, what time did you fish? and what is the best time to catch mullet? thank you in advance!

[@FishyTom]

I like to fish an evening tide down to low. So a low tide about 9pm, then fish 6ish until last light.

[@stevemitchell4125]

Great vid as always mate

[@FishyTom]

Thanks bud.

[@garycreasey4538]

Great session I think a little practice with the landing net wouldn't go a miss. Keep the vids comin dude

[@FishyTom]

Ha ha, there's nothing like a mullet to make you look like an absolute amateur with the net.

[@mattphilcarver6218]

Great vid. What rods are you guys using there with that nice soft tip action? Don't look like spinning rods.

[@kevwarner2978]

Cracking or should i say SNAPPING video Tom and all.

[@FishyTom]

🤣🤣🤣

[@llewellynrose1093]

😂 cracking little flick again Tom, curious as to if the boys were using mono, fluorocarbon on braid with a leader??? Nice to see you put something up other than bass fishing😂 😂😅

[@FishyTom]

Well, I had to enlist some mercenaries to show me how to catch something... We're all using light braid with a short 2' fluorocarbon leader.

[@SkrrtFishing]

Great video! Love this sort of content!

[@FishyTom]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@alastairlaird7482]

Try dropping the tip down and to the side when playing the mullet stops them shaking the hook out so easily.

[@FishyTom]

Thanks mate

[@hatchie61fish-on29]

I there a video on how you make these spinner and hook rig

[@FishyTom]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5van2qZhN2Jpbssi=hXxlVqw1NRZ5JPl_

[@FishyTom]

That's one I did a few years ago. Although I use much heavier fluorocarbon now than I did in this video. I'll use anything up to 0.40mm/20lb. Using thicker line reduces the twist you can get.

[@hatchie61fish-on29]

@@FishyTom thank you

[@FishyTom]

No probs

[@58dongleman]

hi tom how long do you think before you can get me a rod thanks

[@FishyTom]

I'll call my rep in the morning bud, see if we can find a date for you. Hopefully not long 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@FishyTom]

Oh it is. This was just a demonstration of how not to do it. 🤣🤣

[@hatchie61fish-on29]

I like to know what your box called.the spinners in

[@FishyTom]

That's a Tronixpro Double Latch Box with Slit Foam. Perfect for this job.

[@gmy7813]

Any more Mullet videos in the pipeline guys?

[@FishyTom]

Hi matey. I haven't any planned immediately, sorry. I do want to try and get time do a thick lipped video though.

[@gmy7813]

@@FishyTom Look forward to it.

[@stephenwilkinson4214]

Brilliant crack guys, fantastic sport, great idea, Mullet can so frustrating but you guys made it look easy 👍🎣🎣

[@FishyTom]

Thanks mate. They're an addictive species that's for sure!

[@slopestyleuk]

Will you be stocking the hat you’re wearing in your shop? I’ve had a few items that are specific to your store and I find them excellent for very little money? I think the wife’s got me something from your shop that I’ve been trying to get hold of for months. But I’ve got to wait till Father’s Day.

[@FishyTom]

I do have those hats mate, yes. Although they're not the cheapest, I went with quite a posh one because I liked it so much 🤣

[@slopestyleuk]

@@FishyTom you get what you pay for these days. I’d rather pay more for something that will last. I’ll have nosy on your website.

[@ianblewett3118]

Great vid. Well done the team.

[@FishyTom]

Thanks mate. It was great to watch the guys catch so many.

[@nevandrews3477]

Brill vid as usual...some really nice fish there 😍

[@FishyTom]

Thank you sir. Will you be trying the Isome when you're down next?

[@nevandrews3477]

@Christchurch Angling Centre I've just checked dates for the end of the month and start of July after seeing the vid 😜 ... as to the Isome question.... no 😆

[@FishyTom]

Brilliant! Look forward to seeing you then. I'll get you on the Isome...

[@kennetking1]

More quality content chap 👌❤️🎣 Do you get the thick lips there also?

[@FishyTom]

There are some monster thick lips in Christchurch harbour. However, very few are caught on this method.

[@kennetking1]

@@FishyTom thankyou 👍 Would love to drive down for the day, (from Windsor) and have a crack at them…❤️

[@FishyTom]

It's an incredibly beautiful part of the world, the excellent fishing is a bonus!

[@kennetking1]

@@FishyTom Id like to think that if I drove aaaaallllll the way down the M3, then subsequently purchased some of your finest rag, then you might…might point me in the rough direction of where there maybe a wiling mullet or 3 😲😬🎣❤️

[@FishyTom]

Absolutely mate, happy to put a pin 📌 in the map for you. No secrets here.

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Very amusing but interesting at the same time. If you could publish the make and model of the rod I would appreciate it,so I can avoid them like the plague 😂😂😂🐟🎣

[@liamgraham2066]

That’s a shimano Sephia eging rod. I abused that for 4 years. Tom gets it for 4 seconds and bang. 😂

[@karlstokes874]

Ha ha Well on point comment!

[@FishyTom]

🤣 to be fair that rod has been through a lot, certainly no blame on that. I have no idea what I did to it!

[@karlstokes874]

@@FishyTom in honesty, exactly that. No fault on shimano 's behalf. It's just 1 of those things

[@tadhghayden7601]

Interesting experiment...some nice fish...keep it real..that is ..apart from izomi worms n stuff...

[@FishyTom]

It was great to pitch the two against each other, and nice to see the "fakes" catch fish. Always great to have a back up pack in your bag.

[@richpeas1924]

Another great video Tom & some great bants, are you doing a free fake/real pics with every purchase, asking for a friend. 😏 Weirdly, I feel more confident using the orange spinners 🎣

[@FishyTom]

Glad you enjoyed it mate. Not sure about the free idea though! I think the colour of the spinner is down to personal confidence as you say. I know I can catch on pretty much any of the Mepps in my box, but I always pick out the same one first!

[@tollesbury1]

Brilliant stuff. 👍🐟👍🐟👍

[@FishyTom]

Thanks 👍

[@davidschofield9620]

Absolutely brilliant plan Tom what a sabotage to Liam at least you get to sell him a new road £££££

[@FishyTom]

Ha ha!! That was my plan all along! Of course I'll knock him a fiver off the cost, I'm not a total monster.

Thank you. I am always happy when I am fishing 😁

[@ruslanbalikoev2986]

Hi, excellent video, we had a fun time, but in my opinion you are not counting correctly, you should also count the fish that fell off the hook, since it attacked the bait, live or artificial, it doesn’t matter

[@FishyTom]

That is very true! Good thinking! 👍

[@martinfisher8919]

Nice one Tom over here it’s 8mm pellet on the pole . Toby has lost his netting skills
