Epic video brother!!!! Well done lads!!!

[@ManAndRod]

Thanks brother 😁🤙👊🎣

[@dodgeman36tw]

Absolutely great video. I really enjoyed.

[@ManAndRod]

Thanks mate 😁🤝🎣

[@stuartday3232]

What a session! Noticed you generally stick to a straight retrieve rather than twitch and jerk. Ps glad them hooks worked out. 💪

[@ManAndRod]

Thanks 👊 yeah, hooks you recommended are brilliant, i think I'll stick with them. I do twitching as well, always trying all type of different techniques but straight retrieve with pulsating rod every turn for me is most successful. In videos I'm showing lucky moments and as you noticed - most of the successful times are on straight retrieve 😁🎣🎣🎣

Glad new lure gave some trouts for you 💪🙂🎣

[@ManAndRod]

Thanks brother for lure, brought a lot of fun 😁👊🎣

[@stefannikolic5974]

Great video!👊👌 One question, that big lures (I mean 55cm 5grams), are not problem for that rod?😁

[@ManAndRod]

Thanks 👊😁 5g is good, no problem at all. Wouldn't use any heavier but with 5g no struggle at all 👍🎣

[@stefannikolic5974]

Hii, what is the size of the hook (new hook)?🫠

[@ManAndRod]

Hi 🤝 i couldn't get size 6 so i bought size 5. They are slightly too big - few times they crossed, but only few times. Perfectly would be size 6

[@stefannikolic5974]

would size 8. be small?

[@ManAndRod]

Shouldn't be too bad but little bit too small. Will be harder to get hoohset as hooks will be small in proportion to lure size. Size 8 is for lures smaller than 5cm

[@speakeasy_radio]

What's the best approach with trout and drag? Great video, brother.

[@ManAndRod]

Hi bro 🤝 I tried many different settings on drag but didn't found sweet spot yet. In my opinion drag should be set depending on rod. If your rod is soft then you can tighten drag more as rod will absorb shakes better and will compensate drag. If your rod is stiff, then better very light drag as drag will compensate rod stiffness.

[@speakeasy_radio]

@@ManAndRod Super helpful and makes sense. Thank you.

[@ManAndRod]

Always happy to help 😊

[@georgelechner2859]

Bro you need to tighten your drag

[@ManAndRod]

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks 🤝🎣

[@kiv6920]

IMHO It has nothing to do with the rod. The pound test of the braid, fluorocarbon, and the single barbless hooks you’ve swapped out are more than adequate to land the nice trout you’re hooking. It’s the poor adjustment of the drag! I agree with the others - “tighten up the drag.”

[@ManAndRod]

Thank you for explaining, i will do that upcoming trout season 🤝 do you adjust drag after hooking trout or keeping drag tight all time until netting?

[@shkdkdbdmsn]

Depends what lb line hes using, hes fighting the fish against the current so if his drag is too tight he could snap off

[@ManAndRod]

@shkdkdbdmsn very true. My line and leader is not that powerful 👊🎣

[@AdiFerG7H]

Hello i just discover your channel 😄 please tell me how choose lure color. Im beginner

[@ManAndRod]

Hello 🤝 Thanks for joining 😁🎣 Lure colour is very individual choice. For me - if i like the colour then i believe in it and i expect trout to like it too 😅 But being bit more serious - natural colours for me works the best, i don't have many bright colourful lures. Mainly white-ish lures with some darker tops and maybe some darker stripes or dots on sides. Could be a bit red or orange on belly but white belly is the best for me. And white ish lures for me are working in any conditions - rainy, sunny or cloudy weather. You don't need too many lures in beginning as it could be confusing which to use. Get familiar with your 3 or 4 lures and later you can buy more colours and different brands. Rapala Countdown Elite is amazing lure, casting far and accurate, cutting through wind easily and it is easy to find where to buy. Hope it will help at least a bit 🤝😁🎣🎣🎣

"run as fast as you can" Not convinced🦶

Next time will do better 🤣🤣🤣

[@jimpollard3168]

Damn dude, tighten your damn drag up. Your reeling no line in but, just keep on cranking lmao. I guess anyone can have a utube channel.

[@ManAndRod]

Drag was tighten enough for this rod. This rod can't take too much, at least that's how i feel. Felt like rod is stressing enough, that's why didn't tighten more. Plus this trout was very lively and with strong current helping - even more powerful. And you are guessing right - enyone can have youtube channel 😅 I never said I'm guru or any type of professional, i just have my hobby and i like to share my adventures and keep my adventure memories in one place. If you are so good and have a lot of to share and teach, you should consider to do youtube too 👊🎣🎣🎣

[@CODCritic101]

Your drags messed up

[@ManAndRod]

Do you mean it's too tight or too loose? Or you mean that it's not working right?
