I wish I knew about lighter rigs in general earlier! I learnt to fish with my friend's dad who would exclusively fish 12ft+ rods with the heaviest ball sinkers and baits possible. Now, although I do tend to stick with heavy rods and pilchards most of the time, I've started to get some success on lighter (5000 reel, 4-8kg rod) setups with jigs and whatnot. Wasn't specifically from your video that I was inspired but this is just such good information that so many people need to hear! Wish I could get those hours back standing with a 14ft rod and 12000 reel in my hands 😂
Occasionally I drag out a low mount rod and “yellow” reel. Yes, heavy, but the nostalgic factor gives satisfaction (and, sometimes taylor). These days I adhere to the concept of “as light as possible under the circumstances” and it allows more ground to be covered much easier.
Good vid, and a great tip about the slack line between the two snelled hooks (didn’t know that). The beauty about fishing - you never stop learning 😀👍🏻
dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend these days xD
So true Steve, testosterone and the ‘need’ to hit the horizon made me buy a stiff Aerowave and a 10000 Stradic many years ago. The reel now sitting in a cabinet under a light 😂
Eddie, I try to use the lightest sinker I can get away with - usually about thumbnail-size. Probably about 15 to 20 grams (1/2 - 3/4 ounce)? However, if its rougher or windy you might need to go a bit heavier, or even use TWO sinkers that size. Hook size is very much dependent on target species and bait. If I was using beach worms or pipis and hoping for whiting and bream, I'd probably run a No. 4 hook. For salmon, tailor and larger bream using half a pilchard as bait, I'll run one or two 1/0 to 2/0 hooks. Hope that helps.

It's a Shimano Impact Nano Coastline Light. Not sure if they still make that exact model, but there'd be something very similar in their current line-up. About 10 feet to 10-and-a-half feet long.
One of the Light Surf models from Shimano. They have made them in several of their ranges over the years. Very nice rods. Either 10' or 10'6" in length but very light.
@@joey243win you could, but I find the longer rod much better in the surf. Casts further (when you need to) and helps keep the line up above the shore break, which stops it washing around and makes it easier to feel bites.
@@frankleon6708 they are designated as either Light Surf or Coastline Light, depending on which Shimano range they come from. I also use mine to throw lures from the shore -- chucks a 20 gram metal baitfish profile into the next postcode! My favourite rod on the rocks, too, when fishing lightly-weighted baits of peeled prawn tail or cunjevoi for drummer, bream, trevally, etc. Very versatile rods on the beach, rocks, jetty and even the shores of bays, harbours and estuaries.

@@StarloGetsReel dude sounds like the whole package I really am gonna get one cause being light makes all the difference when holding and carrying casting for long periods of time plus switching to different rigs too makes it the one I need I usually fish with a seven foot rod ten pound braid throwing only lures but I need more distance for throwing baits or egg floaters sabiki rigs

You learn something new every day! Will be putting the small nylon bead above the swivel. Brilliantly simplistic 🙏🙏
Happy to help!

Great great video and soothing voice. Plenty of learning to put to good use. Going out tomorrow morning to try this out 😀
Thanks Noah! Good luck.

Well said!
Subscribed, quick, informative video. Trouble I have when light is the surf pushing my bait back to me quickly.
Can be an issue. Try a star sinker. They tend to hold bottom better than ball or barrel sinkers.
You're so right. I fish Virginia Beach (U.S.) and always have gone too heavy. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks Jay! Tight Lines.

Thanks Mark!
This is a lesson it took me too long to learn. I'm in the process of downscaling my gear for my next trip :D
Good stuff.

@Weston Santiago definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :D
Wise words indeed.
Thank you!
Can I surf fish with a 5’6 ultra light rod meant for freshwater? That’s all I have and I’m wondering if it would still work. Nice video
You can if it's fairly calm and you don't need to cast far. Gets harder in a decent swell or if you need to reach out a bit wider, though.
@@StarloGetsReel thanks
@@Jack-vi8kh no worries!

Spot on! Great reel, though.
Hi Starlo, what size hook and sinker would you recommend for an outfit like what you are using. Thanks
Eddie, I try to use the lightest sinker I can get away with - usually about thumbnail-size. Probably about 15 to 20 grams (1/2 - 3/4 ounce)?

Hi Starlo, what’s the reason for the braid mainline? Could I use similar strength mono on this rig?
Sure you can. I use braid in most applications (for its low stretch and fine diametre), but mono will certainly do the job.
Nice clip, thanks for the tip! out of curiosity what is the weight of the ball sinker pls?
Size of the hooks please
1, 1/0 and sometimes 2/0.
@@StarloGetsReel thank you
Hi Starlo, what rod length type are you using in the video?
It's a Shimano Impact Nano Coastline Light. Not sure if they still make that exact model, but there'd be something very similar in their current line-up. About 10 feet to 10-and-a-half feet long.
What rod is that mate?

what is the fishing rod you are using starlo ?
It's one of the Shimano "Light Surf" rods, Fush.
@@StarloGetsReel bout 10 foot is it
Any reason one could not use say a 7ft6 rod ?
@@joey243win you could, but I find the longer rod much better in the surf. Casts further (when you need to) and helps keep the line up above the shore break, which stops it washing around and makes it easier to feel bites.
@@StarloGetsReel cheers mate !
@@joey243win no worries!
Size of rod?
10' or 10'6", but light.
@@StarloGetsReel is it a light surf rod or any ten foot light rod and what other applications can I do besides cut bait

Yessir you’re welcome and thank you!
I appreciate you, brother.
No more big gear for me. A real weight off my shoulders
Cool!
