thanks for sharing your knowledge bro , i ended up getting the mad dog i think that ones next on my list cheers

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

The MD is a mean rod so your not really missing out on much :-) Tight lines

[@2easyangler460]

@@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing your right there , wowser the kotara is so slim and light compared to the dawg, was able to pick it up and have a feel of it when i was picking up the md, wonder why they didnt put the black grips on it though

[@assafloifer5061]

Hey bud awesome job ....was going to ask you what you use to check tide, weather, swells ect...

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Cheers AL I use a mixture of metservice, swell map, weather watch and marine weather - met service normally only good a day or 2 out and sometimes recheck that morning as it's one that seems to constantly change - I like swell map more for tides and swell then actual map forecast the other 2...

Mean Maori mean I've just put floats on my traces to keep them up off bottom an dam having a better return as well loving it as as usual can't wait for more ( so where do I get my hoodie from Jase......)

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Nice one Jc - they do seem to work pretty well those little floats :-) I'm just in the middle of maybe putting some merch together to sell in support of my channel so sit tight and will see how I go - seems quite pricey but hopefully find somewhere that can do a good deal for us to make it cost worthy for you guys...

[@anthonymorgans1670]

Hey bro love you're vidz me and the mrs enjoy them..am new to 4x4 driving,we want to head out to muriwai for a fish.was just wondering do you drop your tyre pressure's before heading onto the sand?

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Cheers AM for the support Personally I've never lowed my air in the tyres and never had any issues but I always cross over the sand in 4H - and try to always drive that half tide so I'm on the harder sand pretty much always. Tight lines

Guttered.." I know that feeling " lol.

[@tearmark275]

Hey bro...... Awesome day out fishing love your blogs..... was wanting more information on the surfcaster you were using I couldn't find any thing online are you able to let me know where you bought from. Cheers

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Hi MB They have just and only come out so won't be out in most stores as yet but I'm sure your retailer is able to get them in from Composite development for you if interested - www.okuma.co.nz/product/4391/okuma-rod-surf-kotare-cannon Tight lines

[@tearmark275]

Thanks bro...... keep doing your thing Mean!

[@2easyangler460]

DKM in waiuku have them , was looking at one when i went to pick up the okuma mad dog 2 weeks ago , they asked me if i wanted to get the Kotara instead , i said maybe next time had my mind set on the dawg , but like Jason said they are alot lighter and thinner , also for the price ya think they would have the grips on them like the older nano . the mad dog has em just looks better imo

[@josephpinheiro9667]

Can you do a vid of how you set up the bait to the hook and what size hooks

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Hi JP Are you talking more about the surfcasting or close up of baiting up the Kontiki??? Tight lines

[@josephpinheiro9667]

Surfcasting, basically want to see how you set up your rod, hooks and bait. I dont understand how u catch so many fish so easily haha. thanks

@@josephpinheiro9667 a lot of my success comes down to more understanding the area and the times I fish them.

Right, thanks for the help mate

[@bwarnoi123]

Another awesome video Jason cheers for the content, just wondering what’s your thoughts on getting a second hand kontiki? Tight lines

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Cheers BA The one we have is second hand and really have had no issues, it is hard buying a 2nd as it is a lot of money - you just hope the person selling is truthful about the rig. Normally being such a big unit you will pick it up or get it dropped off to you - I would push to take it out for a couple of sets with the owner before buying. If he's a good sort there shouldn't be an issue. Just remember there's plenty there so if you are a little worried on one and the owner not keen then you could just move on to the next. Tight lines

[@polyonboard19]

Watching your videos with my 5 year old moko he stumbled on your video on KZbin so he said Nena can I subscribe I said yes he goes like and subscribe for more videos.

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Thanks for the support Tama Tight lines 🎣

[@westies1]

Another good video, cheers. Do you find that it is easier to use circle hooks with break aways, to save breaking the sinker out and maybe missing a strike. Just wondering, I'm about to get back in to surf casting after along time away from it and just remember if you miss a strike it can sometimes require you to reel in and re set. Cheers again

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Hi TWK I normally use J's as I like striking on a fish - if we are in big fish country sometimes I will swap over to a circle - big fish pick it up and go so then slowly loading up on the rod works well. When I strike on a fish and my breakaway gives way I still let it sit there for as long as I can until it has come to close in then I wind in and reset, a lot of times I have caught fish while it's on the move and most times you need to rebait up anyways if the smaller fish have rattled away at the bait. I very rarely strike on bites unless there is a slight pull on the line - I wait until the bait is actually grabbed. Most times those small bites are small fish but sometimes it can be big fish being a little fussy or tentative on the bite but you norm get to learn these traits as you get those light pulls where it's actually been picked up .

[@dennisknight7563]

how are you going to get your kontiki back,to expensive to lose

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

Hi dk This is the 3rd time we have lost it - the first I was able to fluke it by casting a heavy jig. That was a fun night being midnight and going home the next day. Second we had a car run over the winch and snap the line - we had 2 surfie guys swim the k out to it and hook it up for us on the rest of the line that was still on the winch - this one we have just had someone contact us he has found it - we are waiting for him to drop it to see what state its in before doing an insurance claim...

What sort of 4x4 recovery equipment do you take with you on Muriwai?

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

We just have the basics like a heavy strop, spade and heavy duty jack - been on Muriwai for good 40yrs and never needed any of them (touch wood) this is why I try to stick to the half tide driving rule so not to have any problems. Tight lines

[@grantridout7674]

HOw far are you casting..... how much line?

[@Reel-Kiwi-Fishing]

On Muriwai depending where I'm fishing can be from 20mtrs up to 80mtrs. Tight lines
