Sydney Kingfish shorejigging challenge with Shimano Dialuna

Taking up Shimano's challenge with the groundbreaking Dialuna rod, I delved into Sydney's urban waters, aiming to tackle the elusive kingfish. Persistence was key through endless hours and days.
Finally, the unexpected happened-the triumphant capture of the kingfish, surpassing all anticipation, leaving me amazed by the astonishing outcome

Congrats Owen! Happy to see you being looking after 🙌 hopefully see you out there for a session this season brother

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks brother! 🙏

[@johnmakarainen1785]

Sick vid bro killing it

[@HappyCamel23]

Great video Owen! It's cool to see you testing out some of the new Shimano gear. The Dialuna certainly looks tempting haha. Congratulations on the video partnership. I think this is one of your most well put together videos yet and it was cool to see you fishing so many different spots. Keep up the good work man!

[@indosydneyfishing]

Cheers! Just testing the waters with Shimano gear - thrilled you enjoyed the video variety! your words meant a lot 🙌🙏

[@nadircicek5291]

awesome vid bro... congrats

[@indosydneyfishing]

Appreciate it!

[@Kwame_chukwu13]

luv it

[@mRFishNinK]

Well done my bro! Congrats on the shimano partnership you deserve it brother the hours you put in finally paid off 🤙🏼🎣 hopefully see you around this summer brother

[@indosydneyfishing]

Appreciate the love, buddy! The Shimano vibes are strong, but it's more like a 'Shimano audition' at the moment. Fingers crossed for the future 🎣😅

[@mRFishNinK]

@@indosydneyfishing you’ll smash it brother!!

[@HaiFishing]

Great review video bro! Nice King on the medium light rod too 🔥🤙🏽

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks bro 🙏

[@simbahangler5906]

Mantap Bro!

[@HugoFishSyd]

Awesome video Owen 👌👌

[@indosydneyfishing]

Cheers Hugo, still couldn't beat your last King video on that light gear! 😁🙏

[@ctgilcrest]

I have three 2018 models ML/M/MH all 9'6" I fish Stripe bass and Halibut in San Francisco Bay from shore. I can cover from 1/4 too 2 OZ. jigs, minnow, poppers, and soft swimbaits. Great rods for run and gun on the beaches.

[@erickescobedo4820]

which model do you prefer for stripers? Im from the bay as well and plan on getting a 80ml but Im not sure if it would handle 1oz.

[@blimblumbollumblumb]

I recently picked up the previous season Dialuna from IFL and paired it with a BG MQ and braid. Was previously on a cheap mono combo. Cast distance just quadrupled and the sensitivity is unreal.

[@botakfishing]

Congrats Bro. I like seeing that hard work pay off. Mantap 👏👏👏

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks bro 🙏

[@GULPAction]

That is one thick tailor!

[@indosydneyfishing]

indeed bro, for that area it's bigger than usual. fyi it was around 50ish

[@ethanparker5082]

Congrats on the KZbin paying off. Hopefully more free stuff :). Could feel your pain on that trev

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks brother 🙏! I probably should switch to double assist hook next time 😫

[@mbminitrucks1]

I've got the Dialuna 8 foot with the 23 Stradic 3000. Running the Ocea PE 1.5. With a 40g colt sniper I'm casting out 60-70 meters. I'm fishing Wellington harbor NZ and had a 10+kg kingi turn off my stick bait (slow sink nomad) at my feet just before Xmas. Definitely my goal for this summer.

[@indosydneyfishing]

That is awesome! Perfect light combo. Hopefully you’ll hook up that king soon🤞🤙

[@hangyu0211]

I did some research on Dialuna series last year and bought myself the 710mh in the previous generation. It has been a good rat king rod for me, especially when I want a switch from the shore jigging setup. It's a shame Shimano doesn't sell the current mh model anymore in Australia.

[@indosydneyfishing]

Ah, the 710mh from the previous series is a solid performer for those change-ups! Fingers crossed for its return! 🙏🙌

[@larryoutdoors]

Great job mate! I use plenty of Daiwa fishing gear, didn't try many Shimano gears, maybe next time.

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks a lot, Larry! Shimano gears have their own perks. Excited for you to try them and hear about your experience!

[@needmoreboost6369]

Looks like some nice gear! Should be sweet for land based pelagic’s! I’m happy with the zodias and t curves though!

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks for sharing! Zodias and T Curves are solid rods too. Each has its strengths, but I've been enjoying the performance of the Dialuna for land-based pelagic fishing. It's always great to have options that work well for different fishing styles!

[@GULPAction]

You should do a live video on catching kingies. I would love to watch it

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks for the suggestion, one day i’m sure will brother!

[@redseaaquariums7564]

Nice review! How do you like the 8’ for casting ? Looking for shore jig and jerkbaits rod and was wondering which length should i go with.

[@indosydneyfishing]

8’ cast great too and should be perfect for jerkbaits. For landbased I recommend get at least 9’. Soft plastic 8’.

[@redseaaquariums7564]

Thank you . Is there a reason for choosing 8’ rod for jerkbaits and soft baits over rods 9’+?

[@indosydneyfishing]

@@redseaaquariums7564 The 9’ and above is perfectly fine for jerkbaits, i used a few jerkbaits lure 15-30g they played nicely. but not so good on the soft plastic.

[@redseaaquariums7564]

Thank you

[@GULPAction]

Also do you have the link to the isf 30g jig. Also what hook do you recommend with it?

[@indosydneyfishing]

Hey bro, send me pm on my insta/facebook.

[@GULPAction]

I dony have Instagram or Facebook

[@cali_cal]

medium or medium heavy for these rods? 10ft or 96 I'm thinking of those 2 for 1oz weight lures

[@indosydneyfishing]

This rod light medium bro. You can use up to 45g lures. But I recommend 40g max

[@lasserbream]

That Shimano drag sound is a bit sticky.

[@vsonic86]

How long is this rod? Is it two pieces?

[@indosydneyfishing]

Hey mate, from 8 foot to 10 foot. Yes 2 pieces. Check out the link in the description 🤙

[@AshHalls]

Do you prefer Dialuna or shoregun ? For jigging

[@indosydneyfishing]

Dialuna excels in lightness, offering precision, while Palms standout for robust strength. Dialuna for finesse, Palms for power. Depend where you fish honestly

[@laithnaser3934]

What size reel do you recommend for light shore jigging?

[@indosydneyfishing]

Size 3000 with pe 1 (20lb) Size 4000 with pe 1.5 (30lb) For rockfishing I prefer size 4K just in case you get rat king hookup🤙

[@laithnaser3934]

@@indosydneyfishing thanks! indo and what rod would be good for light shore jigging for king fish and bonito?🤔

[@indosydneyfishing]

@@laithnaser3934 no prob bro. Depend on your budget 😂

[@laithnaser3934]

@@indosydneyfishing 600 to 700$ for rod and reel.

Ok you convinced me, I’d ask that rod to Santa’s 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@indosydneyfishing]

Haha! I'll make sure Santa gets the memo about this 'must-have fishing rod' in high demand! 📝🎣🎅

[@4WLEX]

@@indosydneyfishing I checked the price 🤣 Santa’s won’t reply to my letter 🤣

[@indosydneyfishing]

Haha, I feel you! The Dialuna's specs are tempting! Maybe Santa will surprise you. It's definitely worth it!

[@mikewazowski967]

Converting to Shimano from Daiwa?

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks for the comment! I'm not converting from Daiwa to Shimano gears, but I was lucky enough to be tasked by Shimano to test their new rods. Exciting opportunity!

[@arkanrifai6357]

Great video bro been looking at getting a new lightweight shore jigging rod must check them out 👍👍

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks bro! You’ll be surprised how light it is bro 🤙🙏

[@kelsonzin]

Dialuna looks like a seabass rod more than jigging rod...minnow lures might be more suitable for Dialuna...just my own experiences though🤙🤙🤙

[@indosydneyfishing]

Thanks Zengbo, I've tried couple minnow lures the Flashboost, still haven't found the luck yet, will give them another shot 🙏
