Like jigging? Then you are gonna LOVE this!!🎉🔥😱 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqKqY6Fpi7Gnipo

[@nathanborja4532]

This is what i love about giving reviews... you show em the unboxing and then show them field testing it.. in just ONE video..

[@AS-pq3hu]

Very nice video and explanations, straight forward and to the point. Well done.

[@VictorGarcia-gn1kk]

had so much fun yesterday in ensenada. put the blue and yellow goofish to the test. nice and so much fun hooking up good great lingcods, reds and yellowtail size white fish . paired the yellow with a saltiga 10h and the blue with a saltiga 15 2 speed. cant wait to go back and upload a video.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha thats legit man!! How awesome and what a great tone!! Go get em again!

[@skeetross6644]

The action on those rods are insane I just ordered one five minutes into this video.

[@RH-qk5lt]

Thanks for the video. Seeing the yellow Goofish in action confirmed my thoughts on getting it over the Pink.

[@BeardedBrad92]

Can’t wait to get out and try mine out

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir! You are going to love it!

[@Teach_1ne]

I’m going to also use this for bottom fishing. Great review

[@GulfCoastNation]

Great bottom fishing rod! Glad you enjoyed it

[@nucreative4556]

What’s good bro how you like the rod so far?

[@jimt1575]

Another advantage to acid wrapped guided is not getting the line hung up in the guides on top of the rod from the jigging action. The “power” of the rod is for lure weight, which is to be matched with water depth, not fish size or species. What water depths did you fish in and what jug weights did you use? Nice video, thanks.

[@GulfCoastNation]

280 ft give or take with 250g or 300g jigs- glad you enjoyed. Great info here

[@goofishrod]

Dear,Thanks alot for your excellent video,highly appreciatede!thanks

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thank you for making a great product!!

Throwback!🙌

[@princeshovon2074]

Thanks a lot guys

nice fishing rod. I have a blue one and set up with daiwa saltiga 35nhl. im buying a green one next

Shoot ya! Goofish is great!

[@KEMENYSEPRO]

good job boys!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thank you!!

[@fishman6892]

What is the shallowest water that you can use the jigs effectively? I have a smallboat and typically only go out of Pensacola about 5-10 miles and the water depth is only 50-60 ft.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Oh that is more than enough! We have caught snapper slowpitch jigging in 25ft!

[@SteveKayakFishingMalta]

Hi guys, good video, What size of braid and leader you use for slow pitch jigging ?

[@GulfCoastNation]

30 braid and 40 mono or flouro!

[@ConfederateSam91]

I’d like to get my husband one but I don’t know which one to buy. I need advice for the best one

[@chug-a-lug6842]

Nice video have y'all tried the blue series yet that's the one I'm thinking about getting

[@GulfCoastNation]

Hey! We now have the blue and pink series! From the little bit we have used the blue, it has amazing power for really big fish! We plan to get them out soon!

[@EvilAngelCinema]

I noticed you had both the reels I am interested in buying. I am looking for an everyday workhorse and I can't decide between the Salt X 6000 and the Slammer 6500. Any feedback on your experiences would be much appreciated. ( I live in the North East and Travel up and down the East coast fishing)

[@GulfCoastNation]

Hey! Thanks for watching! We had the slammer 8500hs in this video. It is a bit heavy for jigging long days. With that being said the Saltx 6000 is a great lightweight powerful reel! We have a few more videos of putting that reel to work! NOW you might find the slammer 6500hs to fit your style of fishing! Between the two, I would go with the Saltx for the wide variety of fish you can target with it!!

[@carloslavernia409]

what reels?

[@borja.rodriguez.barrera]

Smashing video pals! Which rod you recommend me for use jigs between 80-160grs? Pink or green?

[@GulfCoastNation]

Thats right on the cusp!! But best bet is pink

[@borja.rodriguez.barrera]

Cheers mate🤟🏻

[@jayhm1493]

what other reels that you would recommend for this specific Green Goofish rod? I'm new to this slow pitch jigging game. thanks in advance

[@GulfCoastNation]

The tsunami forged 8 is a great reel for the prices! The Daiwa saltist is a good option too!

[@simonepuppizz2726]

Hi! How many grams of jig are you fishing on amberjacks? the tip of the fishing rod is soft and flexible even without the jig? I bought the model with 2 pieces straight rings but the rod does not have the same action as yours .. it seems much softer yours and I was trying to understand why? thanks guys great video and nice catches!

[@GulfCoastNation]

Hey! We use the acid wrapped green version in this video We use about 80-150g jigs

[@simonepuppizz2726]

@@GulfCoastNation GOOFISH® Solid Nano 6'6" Best Slow Pitch Jigging This model? Is it possible that the acid single-stem version has a more sensitive and elastic tip than the two-piece offset model of the same color? when you open the package and fold the rod it seems to me to have a much more elastic and flexible action.... Its possible? Thank's

[@GulfCoastNation]

@@simonepuppizz2726 hey! What you copied there is just the slow pitch rod. Once you click on that there are 4 options for colors. All the colors are the same action if that makes sense. Link is light action, green medium, and blue is heavy

[@44wolfpacker]

Im personally more comfortable with a spinning rod. Have you tried the spinning version of the goofish, and if so, would you recommend?

[@brycehartzog8154]

Would you keep the forged 8 paired with the blue rod, or go up to the 10?

[@GulfCoastNation]

The only reason to go up to the 10 would be if you were deep dropping in over 300ft over water consistently

[@brycehartzog8154]

@@GulfCoastNation awesome, thanks.

I just got my first gooFish rod and ready to pick out a reel. Im actually moving to mobile soon and ready to fish. Which conventional reel do you recommend for them or do you use for them, any info helps, thank you.

@@endgamefishing1558 thats awesome man, well glad yall enjoy the content we will keep it coming!

[@jamesneese2708]

Would you think a Avet SXJ would be a good fit for this rod. I have a trevala S but now I want one of these goofish rods

[@GulfCoastNation]

For jigging we avoid Avet due to the play in the handle avet has. It would probably do just fine, personal preference! Defiantly pick yourself up a goofish rod though, amazing price and quality!!

[@jamesneese2708]

Gulf Coast Nation Yeah you aren’t wrong about that play. I’ll have to get the same set up you guys have and give it a shot. I’d also like to try the blue rod as well

[@bigjohnny9759]

James Neese is go with an accurate valiant reel or a seigler Small Game Narrow reel they are great jigging reels

[@rupertogonzales4083]

Mines ia not acid wrap... is it ok for slow jigging too.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yeah! We use two of their slow pitch rods that aren't! They are great!checkout the offshore Playlist on our channel for more jigging action!

[@easter543]

What size line did y'all use on these?

[@GulfCoastNation]

30 pound braid! Helps the jig action and has less drag in the current!

[@zouhairsuleiman209]

I’ve got 2 black ones for a Christmas gift, can you tell me what they cost

[@GulfCoastNation]

We have not seen the black goofish rods before. So we may not be much help! Sorry!

[@UnderDaKev]

Do you think this model would be okay for inshore fishing

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes sir! Lots of inshore slow pitch jigging to be done

[@ShinkiZer0]

Planning to get my 1st SPJ set up almost same as yours. Greengoofish rod+ Seigler SGN. Question about jig and hooks. Do you prefer longer arm for the reel handle for more torque? Whats an all around lure weight do you suggest? What jig brands, model and color do you prefer? Hooks do you prefer? Thanks!

[@GulfCoastNation]

We like Pontchartrain jigs!! Great options. Size and weight depends on species and water depth

What model rod do you have?

[@GulfCoastNation]

We have the green version!! The middle one! We also have the pink (light) and the blue (heavy) ones on the way!

[@surfjones3]

Some of the techniques used are a little odd for slow pitch jigging? I noticed at times jigging from the fighting position and then high sticking while fighting the fish with the rod in an incorrect fighting position, either way it shows how well slow pitch works, even with poor technique you catch fish

[@simonepuppizz2726]

Hello guys! what reel are you using?

[@GulfCoastNation]

Tsunami forged 8

[@karlovukman7586]

Hi guys...great vids! I planing to buy a Goofish fishing rod. I would use it for depths of 30-70m (100-230ft) Which one would you recommend: 1. pink (60-200g) 2. yellow / green (120-350g) br

[@GulfCoastNation]

The rod you want depends on the jig size you plan to use! So what jig size and weight are you most likely to use most? (Average)

[@karlovukman7586]

I have no experience with SPJ ... I'm just starting ... I don't know which jigs I'm going to need ... I just know what the depths are in my area! (100-230ft)

[@GulfCoastNation]

@@karlovukman7586 for that depth we would suggest 150-250g jigs. So that would mean going with the green rod!!

[@ronniebeckwith4884]

Never mind. I saw. LOL

[@GulfCoastNation]

Haha no worries! The forged 8 is a good cheap option!

[@williamkennedy6423]

Slow Jigging started in Japan. Goofish rods are not made in Japan. They are made in China. They are however, a decent bang for your buck. Many KZbinrs are pushing these rods, hoping for you to use their code. I wouldn't trust their review 100%, as they are not unbiased. Note: I own a Goofish black.

[@GulfCoastNation]

Note- this is an unbias opinion as we do not promote products we do not like or trust! We understand you may not know that as it seems you're new to the channel. Feel free to have a look around and you will see we don't do business like others. Thanks for your comment

[@averageanglers7075]

What reels are those?

[@GulfCoastNation]

We pair our goofish rods with tsunami forged 8's!

[@averageanglers7075]

Can these rods be broken down in 2 parts?

What do you think I would get a better bargain with,forge 12 for $215 or Daya Wah Lexa wn 300 I’m gonna be bottom Jigging in about 80 -100 feet

[@GulfCoastNation]

Both are great options! Forged 12 is a bit big tho! 30 braid will get you to 80-100 easy on an 8

[@matmartin3644]

Thanks for the response, can you recommend a rod that would go with it I need it light enough for fluke and sea bass but can handle the weight

[@pr_island_jigging360]

Can those rods be use has a regular bait casting?

[@GulfCoastNation]

They can be. But that action is very slow (parabolic) so it might not be as easy to cast. We have used them in a pinch when we are in a school of Bonito needing something to throw fast. Not the best option, but it will work! They have a spining rod version of the slow pitch that might be good for really light jigs!

[@pr_island_jigging360]

I do rock fishing and would like something similar that can cast heavy jigs and don’t break..I don’t se any vid casting jigs with this rods always see videos that use that type of rod in a boat or kayak, I don't want to buy one and that in making the cast it breaks

[@GulfCoastNation]

@@pr_island_jigging360 they definitely would be VERY hard to break! But they are definitely designed more towards slow pitch jigging. Where you would drop the jig vertically and fish structure directly below!

[@JitTrippin_24.7]

Are those rods made in Japan?

[@GulfCoastNation]

Yes they are made in Japan

[@williamkennedy6423]

Goofish are NOT made in Japan. They are manufactured in China. They claim to use Japanese technology. However, this is older spiral technology, but placed ontop of a solid graphite blank. This combination gives it the unusual strength, compared to a high grade x-wrapped style that Shimano uses. These are stronger, but not as sensitive and slightly heavier due to the solid blank. However, the weight difference is minimal. Just note, they are NOT made in Japan. I live in Japan and they are not made here. They are a decent value though. I own a Goofish Black.

[@Charlie-cc3jl]

I hat weight do they take?

There's like no backbone in the rod

[@n8va938]

Why is this vid no intended for “13 an younger”?

[@GulfCoastNation]

There is a KZbin policy that went into effect this year where videos intended for kids 13 and younger can not have targeted ads on them. Our videos, while they will always be clean of any foul language are not "intended" for kids therefore allowing us to allow ads on our videos. Hope that makes sense, we work very hard to bring yall weekly videos, and the ads allow us to get paid and yall to continue to watch at no cost!🙌

[@CDC23551]

ya'll don't know how to slow pitch jig... lol

[@GulfCoastNation]

The best part about slow pitch jigging is the unlimited ways to work the rod/ jig. 💪 There is no right or wrong way especially if you are getting bites! 🎉 Dont be a jigging snob!🙌😂

[@CDC23551]

@@GulfCoastNation Well, you're right in saying that there are different ways to work the rod/jig, but there aren't unlimited ways. If you watch almost any slow pitch jigging video that was filmed in Japan, they show the right ways to move the rod and the jig. Also, my thinking is that if you buy a rod and reel, you should use it properly (the way it was intended for) and use the proper techniques associated with it.
