You are such a good teacher, you should be with that Maths and Science guy, William Smith on the learning channel ! Thanks for this video, I picked up a lot of tricks. I was battling to tie using these heavier metal traces. Baie Dankie.

[@Second_Gutter_Crew]

I nailed a huge bronzy on this rig, thanks mate

[@AmazingFishingAdventures]

Baie dankie Xander, het met die trace vandag ons eers Bronzie gevang. Ek, my seun en dogter het beurte gemaak en dit geland. Onvergeetlike ervaring!

[@charliemaddock3459]

The way you guys fish over there is so cool man ! I didn’t think it was even possible to land rays the size you do !!

[@zoolookfishing]

Thanks man, yes we put a lot off effort in to analyse our gear to make sure we can land some serious fish on standard throw bait tackle.

[@nmfishing3802]

I watched this video last night and made a trace this morning went fishing and got a 15kg barracuda no problem. So thank you bru, I've been losing so many fish so watched a lot of your videos and copied what you do and landed that couta.

Hi what knot do you use on the mainline

[@JustinFishoFreak]

@@zoolookfishing would you use the same trace if you want to target bronze whalers ? I want to start shark fishing here in new Zealand

[@zoolookfishing]

This will be perfect for bronze whalers over there! This is exactly what I use here in S.A for bronze whalers👌🏻🤙🏻

[@markblumenthal4888]

Awesome vid, please keep them coming. Question: how do you tie your rigs to your main line or leader line? Do you use a knot or a clip on swivel?

[@zoolookfishing]

Thanks man...depends where I am fishing and what i am targeting, when targeting large sharks i will tie my leader directly to my braided leader...when i am scratching and constantly switching traces i will tie my braided leader to a strong lure clip and clip my ready made trace to that.

[@mikem9727]

Awesome channel! So how does the long mono attached to weight not get tangled? Seems it would wrap all around the leader in the waves and current. Juat wondering if you have had this issue?

[@zoolookfishing]

Thanks...that sinker can only move up to the top swivel but only when the fish takes the bait and swims away from you..whilst waiting for the bite you hold tension hence the stopper on the bottom ⅓ of the trace. So it can never reach the leader...also when you cast you clip your bait to your sinker so it doesn't swing around and gets wrapped around the trace

[@mikem9727]

Do you catch many spinners or blacktips in SA?

[@definitelywilliam3818]

Hi Xander, loving your content. I recently bought an Assassin 12ft Saber Surf grinder rod and have gone a few times fishing out on the surf but I'm struggling to get the distance to get to the banks. Do you have any tips or advice to help me cast further. thanks

[@zoolookfishing]

Thanks...make sure your braid is thin enough and that you use the optimal weight for the rod...but saying that a 12ft can be a bit short when fishing in the surf and you need the distance...you would cast a lot further with a longer rod like a 14 or 15ft...12ft is nice for scratching in gullies and fishing short gutters and banks in the surf...ideally a 14 or 15ft would do best in the surf

[@definitelywilliam3818]

@@zoolookfishing Thanks for the information, I'll double check if everything is right and I'll work a bit more on my technique for casting. I thought a 14ft or 15ft rod would be right but I was just worried that it would be to difficult to cast. but anyways thanks for letting me know.

[@ernstcoetzer809]

Awesome Awesome Fkkkkn Awesome! !!! DANKIE! I would also like toe see your leader knot.... how long it is.... mono to braid connection.... braid to braid and the whole setup? If you would be so kind dear Sir???

[@zoolookfishing]

I dont do a mono to braid connection, if i do its a fg knot or by swivel depending what I am doing. But my mainline/braid is connected to either a 180lbs or 220lbs braided leader with a fg knot that goes directly to the swivel of this trace. Of you want to see how i tie my fg knot, have a loom at my tackle Tuesday playlist there is a fg knot video on how I join 2 braided lines ,backing to topshot. That is exactly how I tie my mainline to my braided leader.

[@darrennesbitt125]

@@zoolookfishing Hi Xander, what is your preferred knot for connecting your braid leader to the swivel of the trace?

[@rolandbailey2394]

If you want those pulley beads. Let me know how many and where you want me to send them too. Excellent vids as usual.

[@khairaamira6516]

hi ZLF, one question, when using this trace, while waiting for the bite, do you set the reel drag loose or tight or slightly tight?..

[@zoolookfishing]

Hi, i usually hold the rod in my hand so the drag setting is fairly tight. Tight enough to set the hook and loose enough for the shark to pull drag if needed...when my rod is in the sand spike i will loosen up my drag so that the shark can pull line of the reel till i get to the rod and then tighten up the drag...hope it helps

[@misterristag6278]

Xander what would you say minimum line on the reel for shark fishing. I'm talking length?

[@zoolookfishing]

Hi, depending on the thickness, 500m of 80lb would be fine but when using 50lb you would need closer to 700m-800m

[@Vteckid512]

@@zoolookfishing thanks so much

[@yudhirkhelawanlall3795]

Hey what would the distance you pit the stopper depend on? Is it the type of fish or water currents or something else.

[@zoolookfishing]

Hi, many different things, like bait size, specie i am targeting the area, like rocky or not. But mainly because of the bait size. But thats no biggy, if you keep it at like 60-70cm it will be a great all rounder...dont stress too much about it...use 60-70cm till you find what works best for you.
