I've a number of nine foot rods that are now eight and a half 😧. As you say it's part of fishing and an excuse to buy another. The consolation is that a good fish was responsible rather that a tip wrap 😬
😂 So true mate, the rod was £35 so Atleast it isn’t to much of a drama to replace it, but looking forward to looking at different rods to purchase haha
Great shame, but then again great session! Those coalies can really pull when they've a bit of weight behind em! I'd be inclined to use a telescopic net handle in those situations, often on rocks you're high up from the water, and it may have reduced the angle as you drew the fish close to net it? May have saved the rod! 😢 👍
that was a nice trout mate on a jelly too!! same thing happend my 8ft abu devil spin mate its now 7.5ft, i think there was a fault on the blanks on those rods mate, if you look at the amount of people that the same things happend too im surprised abu didnt recall that rod line
@@theanglingfront mate youtubes censoring the crap outta me im watchin my comments back to you vanish in front of my eyes lol my rod done it and all i was doing was lining it up, if your on the market 4 a new rod mate the ugly stix gx2 are some rod for the rocks for a decent enough price
Nice fish. Have you managed to catch any Bass in your local area yet? Have tried a few marks on the Clyde but no luck yet. Maybe have to go further south into Aryshire?.
Thanks Brian, and I’ve only ever had a handful of Sea Bass on the Clyde, over the past 8 years, all small Schoalies but they still put up a decent fight, all of them were caught targeting sea trout of coarse, 😃
Feel for you fella, but if you show this clip to the shop where you bought the rod theyll point out that you cant bend a tip back on itself like that without a good chance of it breaking. Well done on your fish. 👍👍👍👍
Unlucky, you 'high-sticked' your rod, carbon doesn't like being put under strain at such a sharp angle, get yourself a landing net with a bit of a longer handle or walk the fish into the shallows

Decent little sesison that bud - enjoyed that
Thanks mate, started off with decent weather and towards the end, the wind picked up, one of the negatives of living in the West of Scotland 😂
Great session, unlucky on the tip breaking.
Thanks Colin, yeah it’s Sod’s Law for that to happen to me 😂

Yeah totally agree, it’s a good net for wading low water but it’s a ball ache to reach when you on higher ground

Thanks WTC, I didn’t know that, it’s interesting and yeah, surprised they didn’t recall the rod line to be honest

Good session, didn't look as if you put the rod under undue strain.
Thanks Richard, that’s exactly what I thought when I watched the footage back! Good excuse to go to the tackle shop now haha
Keep thw rod 45° or less when playing fish and when they get under the rod tip the down ward force at sharp angles will snap the rod 8/10 times
45 or more ** sorry
What lure weight rating is the rod please?
Hi Paul 10-30 Gram Abu Garcia Devil rod

Thanks as always mate, just an excuse to get a new rod now 😁
Another enjoyable watch mate 👍 pitty about the rod tip 🤦
Thanks Arnie appreciate it, and yes it was, 😂
Less than 45 is what i meant to say i confused myself lol
