Yes mate!! The production quality and entertainment level of this video is outstanding! The hard work and dedication you've been putting into your videos is really starting to shine through. Proud of you mate! 👊
I really appreciate the kind words mate! Soo much time and effort goes into not only production but into learning new things to make future video better. You’ve made my day mate! 🤝
Thanks for watching champ. I agree and would much prefer skeleton over normal. Soo many times I’ve had the most subtle of bites and if you don’t strike, you’re not getting the fish.
This is really good quality content mate. Im not a big Daiwa guy myself but I cant deny that they do more for the NSW bream scene than a lot of companies do. I might grab one of those rods soon. 👋
I really appreciate it champion. I’m very picky when it comes to my fishing gear and I’ve enjoyed the whole finesse journey with the outfits I’ve decided to go with. I’ve been using the 722 SK heaps lately and I must say it is a pleasure to flick soft plastics with.
Great review brother just what I needed to see as iv been looking for a rod upgrade. Would love to see the yabbie, bloodworm and red herring battle it out 🤙
Thank you soo much! I’m glad you enjoyed the review. I can’t believe how well both the rods and soft plastics have performed for me over the past few weeks 🤝
Nice bream Abz ... definitely put some hurt on it to drag it out of those rocks ... was waiting for the snap , good job mate ... regarding the diawa 2.35 prawn , think the herring colour would work the best , but what would I know lol , thanks for sharing mate , awesome review on the sk rods , appreciate it mate 👍
Fished the same edge over the weekend and unfortunately got snapped off by a good fish! They are relentless around those gnarly rocks. Great choice on the colour! Thanks for watching mate 🤝
He mate, I recently found your channel and I’m really enjoying your content, keep it up! I have the SK 722LRS in my collection and I love it, for a regular tapered rod it’s extremely crisp and versatile. I mainly use it for small jerk baits, blades and plastics even though Daiwa have designed it for crank baits. My question is, how much different is the SK 722LFS to the 722LRS ? And how similar is the 722LFS to the Infeet z 712LFS? I can see in your descriptions you also have these rods so I’d appreciate your opinion. I’m considering the SK 681 too as I don’t have a tight cover rod, do you think you could throw over 7g with it? Cheers
I really appreciate the support buddy! Looking forward to producing more videos in the future. The 722LRS is amazing, I use mine for cranka crabs/ Mussel and the spike 44 and it performs soo well. The 722LFS is definitely more crisp, It’s got more sensitivity and lighter than the Infeet Z 712LFS. I’ve found that you get more distance with the SK as well. The recovery of the rod blank after a cast is also great which helps with accuracy. I generally take the weight rating of a rod as a guide, I try to stick within the guidelines but sometimes you can go slightly under or over however there is always a risk. The 681 is the ultimate tight quarters rod! You’ll love it.
Nice mate, ripper ep, they go hard but not as hard as bream ay. I have an older grubfreak and samurai, both have skeleton grips, they are good, fingers touch the rod blank for serious sensitivity. Not super comfy but when its needed i love them. I do prefer the rod butt to lay on my forearm which helps with power control, leverage is key.
The video doesn’t do justice for how tall this EP was! It did fight like a plastic bag on the end of my line though 😂. I noticed they go harder in Autumn though. I’ve also got a Samurai with a skeleton grip, I find the SK to be more suited to my hands.
Red Herring and Whitebait are two colours im very interested in, Maybe lemongrass aswell as its not working for me in the flick. Got me very interested in that 681 SK also
Lemon grass in the flick has been one of my biggest producers. It’s definitely looking like a crowd favourite for next weeks video 👌. The 681 is a little beast, looking forward to getting a few good fish on it.
That is a great vid for the proof. It does come down to what you get used to and confident with. What a weapon. I would love to win one though and give it to my daughter to get her casting on point. 😂 if she doesn’t like it or use it much I can and will take care of it for her. 😇🤩 keep em coming. I want you to use the motor oil prawn if you dare. 🎉
As they say, the rod should be an extension of the arm. Both great rods and I felt very comfortable using both of them. Keep an eye out on next weeks video for the Giveaway details and reveal! Good old faithful motor oil 👌
I really like where the content is going! Quality has gone up recently, and I love tackle nerds.. I see you've been using a DSLR camera now. Big difference. I love those cinematic shots.
Really appreciate that mate! I’ve been working really hard on improving each video. I’ve owned a mirrorless camera and haven’t put it to good use so I’ve decided to take it out with me on trips now and hopefully learn how to get some good cinematic shots. You should see some huge improvements in the near future. Thanks once again champion 🤝
@@TheFinesseAngler All good mate, I also have a mirrorless because I'm into cinematography but I am wayyyyy to scared to take it on the yak... I can't get a new rod for ages because i'm saving up for a pedal kayak now.
I was worried for ages taking it on the yak but I thought that there’s no point having it sit at home and collecting dust, may as well make the most of it. Peddle kayak will be a game changer for you! Looking forward to seeing what you get.
@@TheFinesseAngler Yes. Mine didn’t collect dust though so I couldn’t justify it. And I have a reputation for dropping rods off the kayak. I can’t buy a new hobie so I’ll probably get one second hand, or a new nextgen 11.5. They are good, I know a guy locally who has one.
Only thing I’ve dropped is the lid of my bottle and that broke my heart, can’t imagine a rod or a camera going overboard 😂. Whatever you get will be a good choice, as long as it has you out on the water fishing!
As for the SK grip.. I do have 2 light rods 1 to 3 kg I use on 6lb . Yes u get the sensitivities of all movements that lure makes. Daiwa definitely make some fantastic gear and definitely not all outfits are for beginners
@TheFinesseAngler BTW, congrats on your 1st place from Parramatta round! Looking forward to hearing about it on the Bream Fishing Podcast next episode.
Thanks Mike! The podcast is now live on the bream fishing project. I will be listening to it after work 👌. Also got to record another podcast with Andrew last night from my 2nd place finish over the weekend on Berowra waters.
I haven’t used the new TD black rods although I have heard a few good reviews on them! Which one you thinking of getting? The 2500 shallow spool doesn’t come with the T handle.
@@TheFinesseAngler cheers for the reply, I am thinking of getting the sugapop, although i'm not intending on using it for topwater which it is apparently made for. im going to use it more as a general purpose trout, redfin and estuary rod, which is why i'm not too sure of it, I haven't seen any reviews on it. I also just ordered a 2500D certate 👍
Have u used any of the miller rods range? Im not trying to be a smart ass, but if u think the sk is a great rod (and it is!) The grubfreak is on another level again
I’ve got both the twitch freak and the xflc and have had them throughout the duration of my light tackle fishing and honestly, they’re good rods and have their place however I’ve built a great connection with the Infeet range and they do the job perfectly for me.
Thanks Tom! Really appreciate the hard work and effort that goes on behind the scenes to produce such quality products that makes catching fish soo much more enjoyable.
@@TheFinesseAngler would love to see what you use for each situation. I have a quiver similar to yours from what I can see, and would love to compare notes.
I'd love to see the lemongrass, mud blood and clear gold colourways for the 2.35' prawn in action. My normal go to colour is bloodworm, so seeing some other colours would be great before purchasing them. Also, i'm down for that giveaway, sounds like fun, hope some of the prawns are apart of the giveaway, my local tackle shop was sold out of all colours in a couple hours!!! I'm sure their going to be a hit!
@@TheFinesseAngler I've been trying the lemongrass grub, a few mid sized bream and some solid EP on it. The olive oil looks like a must, I think I'm going to buy it as a risky critter!
Can’t go wrong with lemon grass. Both lemon grass and red herring have been my go to for the 295 Flick. Haven’t tried the lemon grass in the grub yet though! I’ll be sure to give it a go. Let me know what you think of the olive oil when you test them out.
@@TheFinesseAngler Hey bro, used the lemongrass 2.5' grub earlier this evening. Was a great success, caught my first ever silver trev, 42cm then a 2nd trev 40cm, then followed by a small bream 28cm. I was fishing about halfway up the Georges river so was suprised to see a trev. Great fun bouncing it of the bottom, I've used the same lure for 4-5 sessions now, very durable and has caught some very decent fish.
Never claimed to be an expert. The video clearly states that it’s my honest opinion and that I’ve been using these specific rods for a few weeks prior to this video being released.

Thanks for the support champion 🤝
Geez you gave that 40 some curry! Epic fight mate, well done on getting it out.
I had no other choice! It was either him or me 😂. Thanks a lot Jamie!
Another great video Abz. I've used the skeleton grip before and I find it very comfortable with heightened sensitivity. Recommended over the standard.
Thanks for watching champ. I agree and would much prefer skeleton over normal. Soo many times I’ve had the most subtle of bites and if you don’t strike, you’re not getting the fish.

Another great watch, Abzy!
Appreciate it sir 🫡
Love the new review! Keep up the great work 🙌🏼
Really appreciate it Dave!
Amazing video once again Abz, great info/review on the new Infeet SK models. Stonka of a bream on the new Bait Junkie 2.35" Prawn! 🔥

Horse of a bream! Great vid champ
Definitely a good one 👌. Thanks for watching bro!
So keen to watch this one mate 👍👍
What colours do you think I should use on the next vid?
Gotta try the olive oil and clear gold I’ve had some weird as catches on them they’re both 🔥
Good choice 👌. I can’t wait to give the Olive oil a good run, I reckon it’s going to be the result of many big fish this season!
Subbed! Cracking fish mate. And, what a great review.
Colours I choose are:
#34 Opening Night
#58 Red Herring
#51 Lemongrass UV

1/16 on the 681L+FS and 1/12 on the 722LFS. Once the weather warms a little, I’ll drop the weights.

Great choice
Throw the red herring I reckon it will destroy the river
The winner is going to surprise you!
you say 2 piece like its 50/50 split but its shit butt split so hard to store
I like bias reviews
Not bias at all. My first rod in my collection when I started finesse fishing was the SK 722LRS, have loved them ever since.
