Have just found your videos and really enjoyed watching. Clear and informative and great refresher course . I’m really looking forward to watching all your vids , excellent camera work too ! Thanks heaps 👍

[@BasicFishingNZ]

Awesome, thank you!

[@JiggerzWithAttitude]

@@BasicFishingNZ Awesome video man, I have a question though. If my rod is rated up to 5oz does that mean 5oz sinker and bait or just sinker?

[@BasicFishingNZ]

i would say 5oz sinker. to play it safe i usually use small bait(half strip of mullet etc) and a running rig to prevent overloading the rod during the cast

[@JiggerzWithAttitude]

@@BasicFishingNZ Thanks man, tight lines 🤙

[@leehotspur9679]

Hi Just getting back into beach fishing and has reminded me of a few things Thank you for sharing Tight lines and Kind regards from Sunny 👍 Papamoa

[@BasicFishingNZ]

good luck on ur surfcasting!

[@benjons9185]

If you were on a budget and had to choose between having a cheaper fibreglass rod but a good surf reel with a longcast spool or having a quality graphite rod with a standard reel what one would get a better casting distance? cheers

[@BasicFishingNZ]

thats a really good question. i had done both b4 in the past but maybe i would go with a cheaper fibreglass rod and good surf reel. at least the reel will b good enough till you decided to upgrade the rod in the future

[@mikewilliams6086]

Good information matey! Even for those who have fished for a while but getting back into it.

Hey man love the vids! I'm relatively new to fishing and thinking of buying my first surfcaster for Wellington Harbor, this is what I'm planning on getting, Its the PENN Pursuit III 8000 spin surfcaster combo (I cant insert link as YT keeps removing my comment, you should be able to find it on Marine Deals) I'm also going to spool it with 300m of 30lb braid, a 40lb shock leader and a 4 oz sinker. Is this setup good? Is there anything you would change? Thanks. Its a relatively cheap setup as I don't really want to commit to a expensive one yet.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

i would say thats a gr8 beginners starting point the combo. with 40lb shockleader u could get away using a 5oz if ur confident with ur casting ability.

[@godfreytuitama5712]

Great vid mate - I too would like to see how to join a shock leader - please keep up the good work :)

[@BasicFishingNZ]

ive made a video already on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV6pgaFjhdCXpck

[@coolasrc]

Will definitely refer back to this video, today I found a surf caster on the side of the road actually, it’s a penn brand and 14ft, will try and repair the end guide and then get a reel and see if I can have some luck on the fish this summer off the land, thanks

[@BasicFishingNZ]

oh wow haha hope that will encourage you to try out surfcasting more.

[@Channel_of_nothing]

I use PVC pipe for rod holder I drilled 3 holes and slide a bolt through so i can adjust the depth at what my rod sits at in the pipe. 👌 also I engraved measurements down side of the pipe for fast measurements of fish caught no need to mess around with a measure mat bro

[@BasicFishingNZ]

nice man! tried to find bigger pvc pipes but so expensive! 3m was like around over $50! was more keen on a 1.5m

[@Channel_of_nothing]

@@BasicFishingNZ na bro dont buy it lol. Look around on facebook market place or go to building site heaps of good size off cuts in the building trash lmao

[@bushmanphotos]

I just put tape around my rod to measure size

[@nicontrack2697]

nice video, when fishing with 20lb and shock leader which line are you using to make the rig? 20lb mono?

[@BasicFishingNZ]

usually 50lb for the trace and shockleader i try to match the same weight.

Would love a shock leader video

[@mackypokey8928]

hi mate can have an idea about choosing rod about action and power need for surf casting for beginner angler.thanks in advance.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

i would recommend going to a store and feel the rod itself. give it a flick and see the action. also be considerate about the size and weight of the rod. if it is light weight and thin it means its a graphite/carbon but its thick and heavy its fibreglass. think the vortex surf rod is a good beginner rod to use

[@AdriftFishing]

Cool man. Informative!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

cheers man haha u should try surfcasting lol

[@AdriftFishing]

Bro then I would have to get my fingers dirty haha! Why do you think I f Don’t use gulp hahah!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

or u could do the usa surfcasting instead where they throw poppers plugs and other lures in the surf haha

[@AdriftFishing]

That’s as close as I get lol

[@treeezy01]

Hi thanks 4 that, what about gloves, can i use like a garden glove to hold fish and what else were u using? Pliers?

[@BasicFishingNZ]

personally a mesh glove is more ideal: garden gloves and slimy fish don't mix well together although personally i don't bother with gloves. i do use pliers but after my close encounter with the shark, i use more of the hook remover tool

[@benturner9246]

Do you need a shock leader when using 50 pound braid

[@BasicFishingNZ]

i would recommend it: mainly to give stretch during the cast and avoids the main line from chaffing from unseen structure underwater

[@benturner9246]

@@BasicFishingNZ oh yup thanks mate

[@J27M]

I don't like braid because of wind knots... That being said I've only. Used cheap braid and a composite black magic type that was black and white. I'm going to give black magic hyperglide 13x though. If I get my fg knot perfect and still get knots I will quit it altogether because I would rather have the reliability of 15lb- 50lb mono.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

the wind knots r a pain i will admit that especially wen they have line twists but when applied properly, it makes a world of differences for sure. a good advice i would recommend would b to avoid over spooling and wet your braid on ur spool before casting to make it 'sticky'

[@jerrycheung8548]

Thanks for your tutorial. I can’t cast a long distance during surfcasting. Do you have any idea how to cast a long distance?

[@BasicFishingNZ]

lots of practice

[@paulhart8842]

Make sure your nylon or brade is not to thick and have the right weight sinker ,for surf fishing straight off the beach you can go as low as 6 lbs breaking strain,and no heavier than 20lb .

[@rickykewenemcgrath]

Thanks dude!

[@timdoyle9981]

The arelex is still Available but it's a single use reel as it's not worth the cost of its next service

[@BasicFishingNZ]

i had no problem with the aerlex even after going for several swins in the sandy water. still landed good fish with that good old reel

[@timdoyle9981]

I've pulled a couple apart some won't come apart simply due to the square reel shaft becoming seized in the main gear (anissue I don't have with hex shafts and wind on handles) it's a single shaft worm drive and the other end of the worm carrier runs directly on the reel casing ie no roler bearing like the compact tica model's so eventually it will wear on the body of the reel and the worm drive will become slack and wear out faster than others. The only reason it handled being doused in salt water is because it has nylon bushes instead of ball bearings.

[@vinniepan1005]

What South african rod are you using and where did you buy it from ?

[@BasicFishingNZ]

its an assassin evo and got it 2nd hand

[@shinheeyi]

안녕하세요 락다운 동안도 낚시 하시나요? Veritas now have new model you might want to check out. It's lot slimmer. The adjustable reel seat is I think is more of UK rod design that's been adopted as many surf fisherman use overhead reel and they prefer their reel down. I really like your content it's really helpful and I enjoy watching your shows. Hope to see you on the field.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

cheers thank you for your comment. hope to see you around too. cant wait for things to go back to normal....

[@shinheeyi]

@@BasicFishingNZ ya I am getting sick of lockdown too. Check out those new veritas 4.0. keep in contact let's jam up for a session out west in your back yard. By the way how do you find using dingle dangle? Way I see it only will work on big fish that will eat it in one bite. Doesn't seem to work when there are too many small snapper around.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

i do use it but so far no luck on the snapper yet. did land kahawai with them no problem. been using the smaller danglers to try my luck. i've seen the new design, definitely changed from its white and black design

[@shinheeyi]

@@BasicFishingNZ ya for me results was same. Kahawai will take it no problem they tend to swallow big chunk. They do have dingle dangle which is just wire and a loop on each end this works well with half philli. Give it a try.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

i made my own using thick braid with solid ring before. not as good as the premade ones but still a good alternative. i might want to get a bait needle to sew the dangle through instead of spliting the bait in half

[@andreialbertdizon4165]

which shop did u find that 299 mad dog okuma rod pls?

Over here you will never see someone with only a rod spike, we use a belt with a recess for the rod's but. EVERYBODY has one, I still have an old oil leather one that belonged to my father, but you get them in all kinds of poymers now... I would hate the butt of a 13ft rod digging into my hip or stomach.

how is a graphite rod better than a fiber glass? dosent make sense to me im new to this

[@BasicFishingNZ]

graphite: more modern, lighter, stronger and stiffer so better overall. Fibreglass: old school, bulky, heavy and flexible so still useable but doesn't deliver much compare to graphite

[@MuslimMan377]

@@BasicFishingNZ thank you for taking the time to explain but someone like me who's on a budget fiber glass is better yes?

yes but there r good priced rods with great qualities these days so its worth having a look around on those in the store
