Awesome video. Are you able to include a bait presentation your videos. Sure the chokka strips is simple enough, but it would add clarity too. A friend mine always uses a small home made dangle. Got a beautiful Geelbek. Im gonna try dangles too.
Hi buddy thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated. I will do that possibly within the next two weeks. If im lucky i only get to the water say 3-4 times in a month. And i started my videos in the poor time of the month haha so hopefully next week i can upload one. Th3 chokka strips is so simple and really not anything like those fancy chokka prepped baits that one see guys doing from the beach... To my experience, kob between the reef dont still look at youre bait too long they just smash it. Where as from the surf presentation is much more important. The strips, not hammered works for me, if the kob are there the dont leave it on the plate. Stay tuned thank you.
Hi there Stuart. My pleasure. Firstly what grinder are you using? And secondly i would say if you are throwing chokka bait for kob or elf on strand reefs then anything from 10ft rod would work. Although i prefer 12ft-14ft just to have a little more height on my rod to be able to bring my sinker over the reefs and not get stuck as easily. Im using a daiwa bg 5000 grinder paired with a loomis&franklin archipelago rod 12ft xh. It has a casting weight rating of 1,5-4ounces. I would say a daiwa bg 4500,or 5000size is perfect or if you are going shimano a 8000 or 10000 size will be good, or if you are using a rovex big boss the 6000 size will be perfect... Do note that between the brands of reels the sizes differ, for instance a daiwa bg5000 will be about the same size(in terms of line capacity) as a 8000 or 10000 shimano reel.
A great budget option would be the adrenalin tripple x 13ft spin rod which you can pick up secondhand for anything between 800 to 1000 bucks, and the rovex big boss 6000 grinder retails at 1000bucks +-. That would be a great setup and not as expencive.
@@keepitsimplefishing6164 Thanks Vernon for all the info. That's a HUGE help. I'm will have to get back to on my gear. Not sure the specs. Where's the best place to buy? Somerset Sport?
You can support Kegan Matthys from fishing republic in strand, across the municipal swimming pool in beach road. He has alot of knowledge and experience on fishing and gear. Otherwise you can phone around between fishing republic and somerset sport and Jacitas bait and tackle in brackenfell... I personally only make use of Jacitas bait and tackle and Fishing Republic.
Thank you for the great instructional video. 👌
Nice vid. Just try and keep your hands in picture all the time so we can see everything you do
