So true. And he seems to be such a nice guy. If I weren't too old to have a role model, he would be :-)

Tack 🙏 Kristian för en bra video!
Jag uppskattar att du talar om och även visar på plottern hur du tänker när du väljer fiskeplatser.

Keskitalo är bäst 🙏🏼
I höst kommer jag till Degerfors för att kolla på mitt favoritlag öster emot Degerfors. Kan bli en direkt avgörande match om en direktplats upp. Ska hålla utkik efter Kristian där 🥰

[@KeskitaloKristian]

Tack för dom orden! ❤ Degerfors blir ett minne för livet för dig. Hör av dig innan så kanske vi kan ses på Stora Valla 👍😃

[@HaukiLutsake]

Such a nice video. Very well explained the tactics - even the fishing structure was shown on Echolo - that's very good!
A video for the summer months would be really cool - where do you look for the pike in the warm season ? What technique do you use ? Would be nice to see you in "action". 😊
Thank you very much and more videos please - best regards from Germany

Just sad that it is on Kanalgratis that is built on illegal fishing. I do not get why people do not have more integrity than to not watch that channel 😢

[@larsvegas1505]

@@Redneckeverything what are u talking about like they fished a illigal spot one time? I dont get kanalgratis because they are unclear about who actually owns the channel.. johan ruhe just dissapeared 1 day.. no explaination.. now the fly fisherman left also.. and its just team galant left with one of the girls.. but they were not even there 10 years ago.. i dont get how that channel is run. also they have lack of vision.. some random average quality fishing vids.. then 30 christmas episodes.. and then there is fly/jerk/zander/perch pro..

[@AlexeyEronko]

Thanks for video . Could you please provide more details around scenarios when you use baitcast reel 200 vs 300 sizes . Does it depends on lure size only ? One more point is gear ratio , any suggestions. Thanks a lot and waiting for videos around salmon fishing from shore .

[@KeskitaloKristian]

Thanks 👍🥰 I could easilly go with the 200 size for all my fishing situations. The smaller reel fits better in my hand. It also work for really heavy baits. But there are some situations were the 300 is preferable. With a 200 fishing Big pike you need your tumb for proper hooks set - the break is not enough. In cold conditions and with gloves this is tricky and then the 300 with the huge drag capacity is perfect. Also when I fish areas with lots of structure like sharp rocks and sunken lumber I use the 300 with thicker braid. Normally in a 200 0.28 is maximum but with 300 you can go much thicker. I also prefer the 309 casting heavy baits in hard wind. Gear ratio for me is not important. I feel the tension from the bait and after all years casting I automaticly adjust. This is one of the key elements in pike fishing. To be able to retrieve the bait correctly in every situation like wind, drifting boat e.g
