It was exactly 50cm long my friend!

Maybe too late, but….depends on the water you are fishing. In his case, as far as I could see, a longer rod would have worked as well and with regard to fighting the fish in distance would have been a better solution. A short rod is really helpful fishing really tight spaces where casting is limited due to brush, trees and other obstacles.

Big thanks Chris mate! Some incredible Brownies down in your part of the world! Thanks again buddy!

I hope you're enjoying the small streams dude! You're much too kind about my BFS abilities though ☺

You should definitely try it mate, it's so much fun! Glad you like!

I’d rather not slap it all over RUclips mate, cheers for watching 👍

@@TheFishist No worries, and wasn't expecting specific marks or anything - just curious as there are many trout rivers in Wales!

I really appreciate your comment my friend! It did take a little bit of effort to put together! The Finetail is indeed the extendable version from 3'8" to 4'2", and the action is definitely not slow like a glass rod. It bends well, but is on the faster side I'd say. As you can see from the video, it absorbs the jumps and lunges well from fish of this size! I hope that helps mate!

😊😍 Thank you missy!

Cheers Drew my boy! Glad you liked!

You're super, super kind mate! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I agree fully with you about how beautiful the river and surroundings are! Well done on taking up fishing, and I'm pleased you've managed to catch something already! Good luck for when you go again! Thanks very much for the subscription and the like! I also appreciate the comment massively. Cheers mate!

There’s not many species in UK freshwater which make me rush like that man, that’s for sure! Appreciate it my friend!

Thank you so much my dude! 🙌

Thanks a lot, he was an absolute stunner wasn't he? Blew me away! Much appreciated as always :) It reminded me of the fish you had in our video, and the drama trying to net that!

@@TheFishist indeed! Stress then elation 💪

It's a great rod mate!

Thank you Andrei! It really is a stunning place to be! Hopefully its not quite as dry next year!

It was indeed mate!

Hi mate! Glad you enjoyed, and sorry I'm so slow responding! I've lost many a Ryuki mate! Great lures though, but as you say they - they are expensive. The quality is crazy though

I'm on a number of different rivers mate!

Just found this video mate awesome , you wouldn't be near pontypool or cwmbran would you

Thanks my friend! I use Vision Atoms mainly mate!

Thanks Sam!

Thanks a lot mate, you should definitely target them!

I've not got a huge amount of experience of using cranks for Chub and Asp, but I'd say it's likely the 67L would be suitable.

Cheers, I knew this, but sometimes forget. I'll try and remember every time.

Absolutely heartbreaking mate!

This year we'll finally be getting some more done mate. Sorry it's been so long but life gets in the way!

Welcome to the channel mate, and sorry I've been so long responding!

Thanks for the comment mate! I’ll definitely be mixing up my approach next trout season! Spoons and soft plastics galore!

😂❤️ Thanks a lot mate!

Thanks a lot mate! Glad you liked the vids! Unfortunately there does seem to be a big bias towards fly only clubs on many trout rivers man. It’s just about searching your local area for somewhere which allows it! I’m lucky here in Wales tbh!

Thanks so much for your comment my friend! Glad you enjoyed the video, and sorry for my late reply! I’ll definitely be trying for some Sewin next year, had a few issues this year which have unfortunately put the kibosh on my plans!

My personal preference for the trout would have to be the Finetail Area, such an incredible action for absorbing those jumps and lunges!

Thanks mate! I have actually fished in Ireland, but nearly 20 years ago 😂 absolutely loved it though!

Thanks so much Tom! I love West Wales man! Done a bit of fishing in your area myself! Best of luck, you’ve got some mighty fine water there! 🙌

Hello there Tom, and thanks for the compliment! I'm right handed my friend, and this is the way I like to fish! I think a big factor with people using right-hand wind reels is just that they are used to that way! My belief is that it stems from a time when left-handled baitcasting reels just weren't popular. Still to this day in America most of them will cast and swap hands to retrieve. For me there is a lot more efficiency in the way we do it. Whilst it's only a split second to swap hands, over the course of a year this adds up to a substantial amount of time. Each to their own sir! Thanks for the comment man!

Hiya mate! You're very kind, and it's much appreciated! I'll probably include a segment in my next video which will run through some of the tackle in a more direct manner, rather than mentioning in passing! The season has started off quite hard, but I'm on the way to having enough footage to warrant a video! Thanks very much for the sub and the comment my friend!

Hi there buddy! Sorry for the delay in responding! I use a simple 4-Turn water-knot to attach my leader! Just my personal preference as it’s super quick and easy to do on the bank or whilst in the water! I always tie to the split ring as it doesn’t hinder the action of these small lures attached in this way! Glad you’re enjoying the videos mate! There’s another one in the pipeline, it’s just finding the time now I’ve returned to work! Thanks mate!

Heartbreaking Steve 😂 It's a fine balance between giving it the beef and just pulling the hook out. In hindsight I should gone for a full lunge with the net rather than potching around! The net getting hung up can cause a verbal explosion when it keeps happening, I kept it calm there 😁 Thanks for getting your lamps around my vids Steve! Shouldn't be long before I get another out! Cheers Steve!

@@TheFishist no worries buddy, you’ve got some good stuff and more to come so I’ll be tuning in 👍

Check out the fish I lose at the end of the final video on The Trout Trilogy Steve. Absolutely sickening. 😂🙌 thanks man!

Hi Steve! I hope you’re well! Thanks for the lovely compliments sir! You’re going to love a bit of West Walian trouting I can tell you that! My go to lure for shallow fast water is the Majorcraft Zoner Minnow 50SP Steve - cheap for the quality and they send the spotties wild at times! Enjoy dude!

@@TheFishist hopefully so, thank you for the tip on the lure mate. Greatly appreciated 👍

Any time Steve, drop me a message on Insta if you need anything else!
