you really took a liking to that Certate! Got so much gear, yet choose to use that one every time you're on a dam. Im planning to get one as soon as i get the cash for it, will prolly have to sell my 20' Twinpower

@@AndrewAbashidze yeah lately I find myself reaching for the certate over all my other reels, even though it’s only half the cost of some of mine. It just feels better with a fish on than my other reels! Thanks as always Andrew!

That's a heckin' beefy rod set up, but I guess a big Striper would test you and it both. I got a HellCat Blue that would love that reel... Push that 10K over the top...

Hey Aiken, me and my buddy’s watch your videos all the time and we fish the Ross Barnett spillway a lot to. I was wondering if you had any budget surf rod recommendations so I can cast closer to the gates
@AikenAnglingАй бұрын
@@LandonisFishing until recently, I hadn’t found any decent cheap ones, but as of the last year or so there’s some decent options out there. For $80 the daiwa EM cast is pretty sweet, and for $50 the academy “h2o” brand surf rods will definitely work and you can get them locally! Hope that helps! But I will say that ever since I started using Black Hole USA Suzuki special rods, I haven’t found anything else I like more for the money. The Suzuki special 1 is around $200-240 and the 10 foot is perfect for our spillway, but the Suzuki special 2 9-1/2 foot is the ultralight version and it’s my favorite. It’s a little more expensive at $300, but I like it more for this purpose than any other rod I’ve used. All that said, you definitely don’t need nice gear to catch fish, but I prefer the black holes over anything else

Nice video! I'm kinda new to fishing and was wondering why you rigged your weight like that instead of something like a drop shot? thx!
