I wouldn't feel bad, its all in what you are fishing for. If you fish for Bass, or in my case Northern Pike they are hyper aggressive and you will be hit all the time. Like wise if you are fishing in stocked ponds like a lot of people in video's do you will catch a lot of fish.

Did you read the instructions? It seems to me that you need to firmly set the spike in the sand. When a fish bites, pull it out of the spike.

That does not help but main issue is the circle hook. They are not meant for active setting like that at all

I believe I would take the spikes off and use a regular surfing rod holder and see if that wouldn't work better. and maybe if you angled the spikes in the ground backwards instead of toward the ocean it might would stay standing up. just a suggestion. Cool video. like the rod. 🎣

[@matthewroberts3185]

You would have better luck using a j hook for active setting like that. Circle hook is not meant for active setting and can easily slide out without hooking the fish if yank like that. Circle hooks just need some pressure applied, thats why they are often used for passive fishing with higher drag to set itself. Change hooks and success rate goes up a lot.

[@mred2099]

If you're going to use circle hooks add a mono leader. Circle hooks need some time to set ,also switch to a bank sinker over pyramids. Use some ghost thread to keep your shrimp on the hook longer.

[@OperationBlueberryExpress]

I use circle hooks all the time on braided line with steel leaders and never missed a fish

[@britishbuckwheat9092]

circle hooks dont set like j hooks they need to have tension and slowed reeled in not pulled. also hes fishing in sand so pyramids will be fine

Not only is it not a scam, you don't even need it. Primitive people learned how to use a young bent over tree to do it. You can find videos online. You just set it, forget it and wait till the bent tree sets the hook as it unbends.

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

There’s no trees on a beach lol to say they are a scam is kind of far fetched. These particular ones I wouldn’t trust but the ones using your own rod are more than proven.

[@OperationBlueberryExpress]

@@FishingWithChris_Tv he said it wasn’t a scam

[@DivergentDroid]

@@OperationBlueberryExpress Thank you. The idea to make this device came from the fact this is a very old known technique. You can see people doing it on tv shows like Alone where people spend months filming themselves alone in the wilderness using any way they can to obtain food. It's a great time saver because a survivalist needs to be multitasking to find as much food as possible every day.

[@DivergentDroid]

@@FishingWithChris_Tv If on a beach, you don't need a tree. Just bury a pliable bendable branch in the ground, use a rock to hold the line taunt and Poof, Instant fish catcher. You can also use a figure 4 trap trigger to hold the line taunt and cause an easy release causing the bent branch to set the hook. There is nothing you can't do with primitive fishing techniques that you can do today with modern equipment.

I have one, a different brand, It does not have anywhere the power to set the hook. It is a cute way to get a bite though.

[@Adiarby13]

maybe try with a lighter sinker or change to a stronger spring🤔

[@crashdastardly99]

That contraption looks dangerous! Circle hooks are great for "bait and wait" fishing. And they always catch the corner of the mouth for easy hook removal. I prefer a small brass khale hook for this type of fishing. Or shrimp on a jig head. I hook them Texas worm style through the tail. I think you should use smaller weights, but I'm not there and that current is strong. Keep posting this great content. Duuuuuuvaaaalllll!!!!!

[@rickschneider3887]

Looks to me like there needs to be some improvement with the design. First. The spikes included are not universally stable. The spikes provided don’t seem to set deep enough into the sand to withstand the mechanical hook setting power and pops out of the ground all the time. There should be longer spikes for sand and a flat platform included to set rocks on top of or a single solid pole to slip between rocks if you’re fishing riprap or rocky shorelines. There really needs to be some kind of extra counterweight at the butt end of the pole for stability as well. I also agree the pole should be detachable from the anchoring post. The concept seems practical, just don’t think the design was thoroughly thought through for real life applications.

[@IIBLANKII]

the angle of the rod i think matters too, could be the camera but It looks like the tip of the rod is pointing down rather then a little bit up to get a good set with the mechanism? cause it has alot smaller range of motion on the set you would normally do

[@Acidburn1155]

You should try angling the rod backwards so that when it swings back the rod ends up more straight? Idk just a thought.

[@DvsCxnt]

in new zealand we use a stretchy thread to tie on our baits to the hook so it doesnt fall off , works really goood with shrimp, prawn, pilchards, especially when they thaw out and become super soft. the thread wraps around it and keeps it on the hook

Fun Stuff :-) If you wanna try some new things look into the bottom legering rods 10-13f for feeder fishing now Whats something fun ! You should find a rod&reel combo for under 150 $ . Mostly the Brittish and euro fishing style buuut it works very good for seafishing/shore fishing .

[@kennethlocke4213]

You need a spider sinker. It has hard wires sticking out of the triangle sinker to dig into the sand. It's the only way to keep your bait from washing in/around. It also allows you to use a much smaller amount of weight with the wires dug in.

[@rezynrogue1309]

Maybe anchor it further, a tether to a tent peg? Seems like the snap counters the hold at the other end of the fulcrum. Sand isn't holding the pressure from the spikes

[@khairulazlan5318]

try pushing it down in the ground fully, probably it'll pull better? just a thought

[@smokeythehuman3596]

You don't technically need to set a circle hook but once you know its on and it's big then it won't hurt to set it a bit to make sure the hook is buried

[@scottcheg9]

This kind of rod looks better suited for ponds and rivers, it obviously takes inspiration from the snare style trap where instead of the snare you attach a fishing line instead.

[@SalerPaul]

I think if you planted the holder pointed BACK, away from the water, it might stay in the ground better. Instead of pulling the base straight out towards the water, it would direct the force more into the ground.

[@jansteyaert1]

random idea, don't put it in soft sand. In theory it should totally do the job if the trigger system is decent enough. But I agree, why would you fish to watch some mechanism do half the work.

[@CajunBadger]

Bruh…..this is cool and funny af!!!! However I think if you cast then set the mechanism and walk it tight and bury the spikes in the sand AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE it will improve your chances dramatically. Looks alike the design is tension on the rod, not the line, sets it off. The 45% angle will allow for the rod to set it off properly. Just a guess. Try it out and let us know!!
