Good Lures for Light Tackle Fishing

[@stevenleaney1262]

What was the fish you lost because you didn’t upgrade your hooks?

[@Briggsy]

I think a 50kg-100kg+ Yellowfin Tuna, I had 500m of 50lb on a Catalina 6500, cast my 100g metal out and let it hit the bottom, three full speed winds off the sand and instant screaming drag! Dumped 300m of line at around 10kg-15kg drag in less than a minute, the reel was spraying little bits of oil out of it and i kid you not i saw smoke wisp up a few times, strong as smell of burning plastic and any time i tightened the drag it burnt my fingers. The fish stopped and went sideways, i felt massive beats (like I imagine a huge tuna would give you), and as it starts to go again i slowly tighten the drag until pop! I fall over, nothing on my line anymore. Pretty much have to respool my reel to wind the lure back in and sure enough two of the trebles are fine and one is at 90 degrees to where it was meant to be. Devastating yet life changing haha

Briggsy GOOD GOD MATE!

[@williamadeyeye694]

I feel your pain man lost my biggest flathead ever , possible metery , to shit trebles on a rapala rip stop

[@collieyak971]

Briggsy best story I’ve heard for ages, so pumped for fishing right now!

[@MrThinkinpalm]

Thats sick bro!! Have followed you morning tides days.. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@tokizane]

im really loving this series. a lot of this stuff is basic knowledge to me by now but i always love watching and hearing other anglers talk tackle so i can pick up a few new tips and tricks here and there or just to find a cool new lure to try out. i can see how all of this would be really helpful to new people that have been wanting to get a line wet and feel that first tug. really appreciate the work that you do and hope to see many many more vids from you. cheers!

If more school teachers were like you Briggsy, more kids would stay in school.

I've been gluing the soft swimbaits to the leaded jig for 15 years and it's the only way to go. I first wash all the swimbaits (usually do 50 to 100 at a time) with dish soap in cold water to wash the mold release oil off them makes the glue stick better. The glue here in the US I use is a brand called Loctite Ultra Gel their most waterproof and it's a little flexible. I thread the swimbait on the jig hook till it's about a 1/4 inch (8 mil) away from the head then smear a couple of drops of glue on the swimbait push and hold to the head 5 seconds and you're ready to go. I've caught 10 to 15 lingcod on them before they're destroyed. To remove it just grab the jighead and swimbait twist the swimbait around the shank of the hook and it will shear off and ready for another body. Hopes this helps.

[@thomashughes8634]

Me:bored to death Briggsy:Making everyone’s day

[@tounin8367]

In France Keitech make the same softbaits for Daiwa, they are slightly stiffer but they work amazing too

[@laszlobacs]

I absolutely agree. Upgrading the hooks it's a must. Great tips thanks for sharing.

[@adriannobbs896]

Bloody Briggsy. Such a genuine top quality likeable person. Always enjoy all your content 🤙

Fantastic mate , great to hear advice from someone who has done the hard yards. Hope to see some more of those vids of you and your son fishing. Great to see .

[@kobi863]

ZMAN MinnowZ green softy’s work really good. I tried soft plastics bc of you and I don’t want to go back so thank you Briggsy.

[@driftslidecrashmoney]

"BIGGG wobble flashy flashy." is exactly how i think when buying a lure.

Yah! Briggsy! Lots of top tips and info. Keep um coming brother!! Aloha!🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 Yew!!

[@kikys8334]

Love this series

[@deej9367]

Check out the lucky craft wander. Cast it out and let it sink then do a jig and reel. They are weighted so you can cast them super far. They have a cool side to side motion when falling and an erratic swimming when pulled

[@jamesbower6182]

These vids are coming in hot and fast and im lovin it bro!!

[@adamsmith8533]

Love keitech swimbaits. I use them in fresh water for Bass, trout, pike, walleye, musky. Great baits. Thanks bud.

[@Freedeeism]

I like Rapala alot! Shadow Rap Shallow in silver is my go to lure!!!

[@franie1210]

Thank you Briggsy love this series

[@PopNisFishing]

Yes, you can fix the plastic lures with Savage Gear Fix it Soft lure Resin. I used it and it's good 😉 Try Sawamura One up Shad because it's not so fragile as a plastic lure 😊 See ya 🎣

[@jordanmaharaj1089]

Nice lures buddy🎣👍🏼 Greetings from Germany🇩🇪

[@ElvisPriscillaPresley]

I like my plastics, then I tried the diawa double clutch 60s... brill for bream.

[@Flarexxxx]

Id say give the storm 360 search baits a shot, softplasic with a special jighead, they work pretty well for both fresh and saltwater here, also the biospawn exoswims

[@combatexperience4135]

great recommendations, will definitely be getting some from your collection. I will aslo try to invest in new hooks for my saltwater lures, thanks for the advice!!

[@allcreedsvoices]

Those lure colors are bedazzled brahhh ~~!!! Need to get some of them!

[@megamindtvsydney3967]

Thanks Briggsy.

[@hazza196]

Loving the frequent uploads yewww!

[@garylawlor2288]

A gas heated soldering iron is great for melting the soft plastic lures to fix bites and rips

[@danielpitman5140]

Got the nomad, love the nomad. Just got 7 xrap long cast 120s for 10 bucks at bcf on clearance. Keep up the Vids bud!

Love your work Briggsy bro

[@collieyak971]

I love Razor Edge Lures Brawler Baits soft plastics. Chris has produced an awesome product, I’ve found they catch a heap of species 👍

[@jac_fishing8833]

Awesome video Briggsy frothin'. I'm starting to go for big tailor, small kingies. Gonna pick up a few nomad riptides 125mm what size hooks should I upgrade them to?

[@Briggsy]

Nomad's use BKK hooks, they're one of the only brands that already have real decent hooks on them by default!

[@violetspider_]

Can you recommend a spooling mechanism for 0.50 line? For light line, 0.28 max i found some cheap mechanism ,but for heavy line is not strong enough, i end up putting half the line i should on my reel. I tried the old "wood spoon tru the spool" clamped down with my foot, but it's not linear it's jumping so, yeah ...and going to a shop somewhere it's not viable at least for now. The crab looks crazy with hooks on both claws😱🤙

[@maissadz7340]

À very beautiful collection these are magnificent launched lures.

[@tfre3927]

I caught a flatty on a cranka crab. First flatty (52cm) I ever caught haha (new to fishing).

[@ROLFCOPTERZZ]

When you say light tackle, what weight rod and line are you using. I love your videos and I'm trying to basically follow what works for you

[@dante7228]

Oh man, I also learned the hard and painful way that you MUST upgrade the hooks, lost some of my biggest fish because I didn't 🤦‍♂️ Some others I lost because of others flaws in my setup, like old line and so... Not easy to everything right to land the fish, especially when you don't have enough money to buy the good stuff whenever you need it

[@rhysandrew4511]

Is it better to use soft plastics / lures over like frozen bait you can buy from the shops? Love the series lord!!

[@malkhalifa3D]

I honesty didn't think Oman would be on your radar as a fishing destination, Briggsy. Were you on Masirah Island? that seems to be the general area most anglers like to go.

[@markharris4320]

Hey mate,I have taken your advice and done all the larger lures using decoy rings and BKK hooks but what size and brand would you use for smaller lures like the x-rap.

[@turbostyler]

What kind of fish did you lose on the metal? Also, I think a tailor sesh is in order. Maybe a beginner's guide to catching tailor? Would fit in well with your series and also tis the season.

[@Briggsy]

Check out the pinned comment ^. Yeah i'm frothing to go for a spin the swell is just massive at the moment in my zone!

[@MjSportFishingTechnique]

Hi

[@alby910]

Thank you

[@yallaboybrookwell4420]

Check out EcoGear ZX40 vibe baits. Mega little lure that catches anything that swims

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, cheers for the tip i just ordered a couple!

[@charmainerandichmicallef7494]

Thank you sooooo mutch briggsy

[@ribosome1681]

Do you think maybe a slightly smaller nomad riptide would be good for tailor? I love your videos Briggsy. I live in the lower western state and that is all I really have access to pelagic wise, any advice from you is priceless.

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, yeah either one! Tailor sometimes hit massive lures but if your rod can't cast that size go smaller. Really big tailor will eat other tailor (knew a guy who used to put out 2kg tailor as livebait and he'd sometimes catch massive 5kg+ Tailor on them) so don't be scared to throw big lures for tailor. Should say you'll prolly get a lot more hook ups on smaller lures but if you want big fellas go bigger lures. Just casting metals for tailor is a pretty good way to target them though if you're not already doing that, cast a mile and cheaper lures if you get snipped!

[@ribosome1681]

@@Briggsy Cheers mate, I usually use metals but have got into surface fishing because it is so fun to see the fish chomp down a lure on the surface ( maybe because I'm a kid), anywho thanks heeps! Hopefully i can get a Riptide sometime soon.

[@justarandomguy6743]

im not realy a fan of this kind of setup, im used to fishing with a hand and reel only, but watching you and cavy use it makes me wanna use it too, but since for this setup you are not realy touching the line by your bare hands, its kinda difficult to feel the tension of the line and play with the drag and pull till the fish get exhausted so you can land it. else youll end up with the line getting snapped or bended hooks making you lose your fish.

[@jfd7515]

same, i hooked a big gt but lost it coz i didnt upgrade the hooks and it snapped. worst feeling ever!!

[@philiproche456]

I use them hooks for sea bass fishing

[@jamesmurtagh788]

What kind of person would dislike a video like this 🤔

[@blesson87]

As you know by now briggsy I'm binge watching your videos mate. Is it only the stock trebles that are crappy or even in line single hooks like that on the xrap sxrl12... And I think those are vmc hooks. Also do you crush barbs on all your lures big to small and also on single hooks? I remember you saying in a video that barb less singles are pretty much shit....

[@theokn9994]

Briggsy u are graet👍👍If you want those loores are amzing: spearhead riuky, they really good for light tacle

[@JamesFish1ng]

Love this series man! Makes me froth when someone else goes through their gear! Definitely need to pick up some fcls, where can i get the smaller models?

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, stoked you're digging the series, i get all my FCLs from Fishhead - fishhead.com.au/

[@mohammadazmibinabduljalil5507]

What about Zman? I have always used Zman. Their rubber is tough and last longer. And i believe it is also more cheaper than Keitech.✌✌✌

[@FineArtbySamuel]

zmans are the go

[@averybailey5145]

Is the sinking version of the riptide just as good??

[@LilDino808]

I found a guy who has a portable welding machine that’s fits in your hand to fix his plastics. It’s called something prowled, I’m still trying to find it lol. Found once then couldn’t remember the name.

[@mikecastagna3447]

Awesome, saves most serious fishos years of trial and error

[@CodyB_]

I'm addicted to little soft plastics

[@clifford2103]

Do you catch jewies too with light tackle in your part of Aus? I am chasing them Melbourne landbased haha!

[@MrTatts64]

Lost biggest fish... Which split rings you now using Briggsy?? I like the wolverine ones from the US, but they both expensive and big, so not always an option for the smaller lures I normally use. Great series and really enjoying it thanks mate.

[@fishingtrollspinninglabara7241]

Keitech Easy Shiner are so 2000 lel , in France we are in the "hard" for the light aka: ITO Shiner 115 SP, Ima Sasuke 120F , Shimano Silent Assassin 100 S/F , Ima somari 90 , Artist 80/110 FR (Yeah it mean France) ,Varuna 110 SP , PRESS BAIT 85/110 .. :)=

[@Mr.BigPerch]

And you pay too much €30 for a Megabass Ito Shiner, when i see the price that Ultimate Fishing want i must laugh, i order my Bait's directly in Japan is cheaper! :)

[@ToastierHat]

You're just a cutie, Briggsy. I don't even fish but this is content for sure.

[@M.Stifler]

Thanks Briggsy. how to choose splits rings and swivels sizes for PE1 setup bro

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, I use NT swivels and Decoy split rings for everything from GT down. Not sure i fish as small a lure as most people fishing PE1 but pretty sure NT make super small swivs and Decoy tiny splits, so worth a look!

[@jonnosfishin9755]

I'm thinking of buying the Daiwa BG 8000 any idea if it's good or not, wanna know other peoples opinion on it if they have had problems with it or the pros and cons of it

Hi Mate, i've never used one but here's a really in depth review - www.alanhawk.com/reviews/bg16.html

[@j0237]

What are the best ways to retrieve a sinking stickbait?

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, check this film - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYOnpXV_hbqdnMU the pinned comment has a time stamp for the sinking stickbait section

[@vsonic86]

Hey man, can you speak about little more about the Nomad Reptile 120 float? Would you say the floating better than the sinking?

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, yeah for Kingies go the floating, I reckon they really nailed the action on it! The sinking is good too though, I once caught a midday GT when everything was super super shutdown on the sinker. Both good lures.

[@Moe572]

Been concidering them for a while. I'll make an order some keitech soft plastics.

Brother what leader and line set up you recommend for a 6000 series reel?

[@Briggsy]

Hi Mate, it depends what you want to use it for. GT on the reef flats PE5 100lb leader, Tuna off the rocks PE3 80lb leader. PE3 is more of a natural fit if you’re talking about Daiwa sizing but you can definitely go up or down from there if you’re doing something unique.
