Just found your channel kit. Outstanding content with emphasis on practical application for beginners and experts. I only SW fish for 3 months in winter vacationing in FL Tampa Bay area. I am land based mainly piers and beach. I want to purchase one of the two rods discussed in your presentation with import via Japan. I DO WADE into the surf to access the fishable structure often and get the reel plashed/dunked. With that in mind I prefer a totally sealed reel. Unfortunately, they are heavy - Tsunami SaltX II 3000 with 11.8 OZ is my choice. Most likely a balancing issue. I would appreciate your Input please. Bait size is between 2 and 5 inches. Target species snappers. Spanish Macharel etc. Occasionally larger Pelagic Species.

[@TheFishingKit]

Hi Hubert, the wade fishing there is very different - however, check out the Twin Power XD, as far as sealing goes, this was made for a bit of wading, however, I can not guarantee that it would be like a van staal.

[@hubertstoffel1820]

@@TheFishingKit Thanks for your quick reply and input. The Tsunami SALT X Gen II is the hottest surf fishing reel on the market here and on par with the Van Staal VS50 for 1/2 the price: $ 400 vs $ 800. Getting back to my question: Is an 11.8 OZ reel SUITABLE for the Crosride 5G rods discussed in this video,.especially the 9'4" rod?

[@TheFishingKit]

@@hubertstoffel1820 The Japanese System is different from the American System, you can use it, but it will feel weird and wont function the way it's supposed to.

Thanks for new video Kit! What type of knot you prefer to connect leader and jig or leader and lure?

[@TheFishingKit]

to make things simple, a well tied uni knot always works...if I have more time, I will use a chain knot.

[@kevindefayk3618]

Hey mate, I am thinking of getting a major craft solpara LSJ rod and a Shimano Sedona FJ. Do you think this will be a decent combo? Thanks, Rob.

[@TheFishingKit]

Rob, save your money and get a better combo, for reels, I always recommend nothing lower than a stradic. for Majorcraft rods, go up at least two tier levels to get decent ones. almost all rods in Solpara is something you will outgrow really fast.

[@kevindefayk3618]

@TheFishingKit Thanks mate, I really appreciate your response. I'll keep looking

[@MrAlGault]

Hey kit, great video as always. It was perfect timing for me as I’m actually planning on building a LSJ setup at the moment. Have you used both the 1G and 5G crossride? Is the 5G worth the extra money? I’m looking forward to your upcoming video’s out on the water, I’m sure I’ll learn even more!

[@TheFishingKit]

I have not used the current 1g but i have an old 1G and the current 5G - i made a video of the 5G in a recent video. The 5g is very light. I will do a video on the previous genetation and then i might be able to compre them better

[@MarkGrech-z3w]

Hi I’m new to light shore jigging. I happen to have a Shimano Spheros 3000xg that I use for squid and planning to use it for LSG. Do you think that the Shimano Moon Shot rod s96m is good combination with named reel for this tipe of fishing? If not what rod do you suggest with the 3000 reel? Planning to use Pe 1.2 line Thanks

[@TheFishingKit]

the moonshot can be used for light shore jigging. with your reel, it should be decent. But I think you should stick to PE 1 instead of PE 1.2...just a suggestion.

[@MarkGrech-z3w]

Thanks for your info :)

[@ivanbilbao1254]

Hi there! How strong or resistant do you find the crossride ml (since the blank doesn't have a varnish coat)? Im considering to get one but Im a little bit affraid of going to the rocks with it. Thanks in advance!

[@TheFishingKit]

I don't know what you are afraid of or talking about...the strongest state of any rod blank is when it is unsanded and unvarnished. When it is sanded down and varnished, it means the blank has been thinned out. It will look aesthetically pleasing, but has already been weakened.

[@ivanbilbao1254]

Oh, I didn't know or thought about the sanding part of the process. I just thought that an unvarnished rod was purely a weight thing ( in order to make the rod lighter) but this left the rod more unprotected . Many thanks for the info!

Hello kit I have never used a leader line I just use straight 15lb monofilament or 30lb braided fishing line maybe 50lb braided fishing line with no ledier line kit can I fish a 40g metal jigs on a ugly stick gx2 medium action rod combo

[@AnggihYanumerta]

Hi kit, what about using shorter leader like 4-6 ft combine with low visibility braid color? I think it needs to be considered. So it might be possible to reduce the impact of the ring guide with the braid+leader knot. Apart from that, we also use a fishing rod that is long enough to allow that to be done

[@TheFishingKit]

Or just learn how to tie knots that go thru the guides easier?

[@barbosapaulo2548]

Thank you so much i never be Abel to Make a combo for Shore Ligh jiging you Make the best videos tou realy learn i am sorry for my English in my country i ha e bought always the rong set kit what do you think about cea a or first cast from major craft and from shimano be ou se i Donat have much money but i love fishing and you are the best teacher i Ever have thank you so much

[@andrettowindhu]

Hi Kit , is it also good to use lsj set up for squid fishing ?

[@TheFishingKit]

No.

[@tyson6672]

How much line would you recommend is needed for this type of setup? I live in North America and the reel selection is very different compared to JDM models. We have a lot of deep spool spinning reels that have additional capacity. Wonder if a 2500D (300m capacity at PE #1) would be suitable even though you mentioned 4000-5000 reels. I currently have a Daiwa Over There 103M (Length: 3.12m, Lure: 10-50g) on the way.

[@TheFishingKit]

2500 can work, but since the spool is smaller, your casts will be a lot closer, so you cover less ground. You can use a 4000, but that also means you need to use heavier jigs and your rods would also sling heavier jigs...so 10g would be off the menu, which is basically the killer for shore jigging.

[@tyson6672]

[@AbslutZr]

Instead of jigging can I fish top water lures like pencils and spinners with an lsj rod?

[@roland_des8527]

Hi Kit. How many grams do you cast safely with 0.6 PE and 0.8 PE? is there a practical formula that you use? and of course the leaders, for 10 lb what should be the max weight to cast without snapping?

[@TheFishingKit]

Not really a formula per se....the Reel's job is to hold line, take back line and to give the line resistance when pulled. The Line's job is to be a carrier for all this - the diameter helps it cut through air resistance and water resistance and brings the lure or bait to the fish and is a medium to be wind the fish in. The diameter (0.6, 0.8) dictates how much line can be wound on the spool of your reel....now...what's the missing part of this equation? that's your answer...literally lists it there.

[@roland_des8527]

@@TheFishingKit Sorry, my fault. i meant e.g. 10 lb for 0.6 PE diameter or 12 lb for 0.8 PE diameter. Do you cast 15 gr. jigpara with 10 lb line and leader? i am asking for snapping factor and line wear out.

[@TheFishingKit]

@@roland_des8527 I have yet to have the line snap on me when I cast. Wear factor of the braid on casting isn't a problem as I have leaders long enough to wrap at least twice on the reel. On my LSJ I cast up to 30g on my combo with the lightest at 7g.

very brave to have line connection knot spooled on reel. More often than not, i forget after reeling fish to release fluorocarbon from reel and reel it back loosely, cuz it is prone of tangling, especially thinner ones. Good thing to point out for new guys

majorcraft is mid tier for you, and here in south europe is the cheapest. Obviously we are getting ripped off in years haha

[@TheFishingKit]

The top end of Majorcraft is Mid tier at best. Top end rods would be the likes of Yamaga, Ripplefisher etc. Even the "cheap" rods of Yamaga would be better than the best majorcrafts. Europe is late when it comes to rods compared to what we have here in the UAE because unlike Europe, we deal with the companies straight so we get things faster.
