- In this episode we are test a Favorite Black Swan the lightest fishing rod I've ever used. This high end spin rod weighs a staggering 58 grams and we hit the water in search of bream, snapper, snook and much more to really put the Black Swan from Favorite Fishing through its paces.
We pair the Favorite Black Swan with a Favorite Sirius 2500S spin reel out in the Hobie Pro Angler 14 kayak and tangle with some awesome local species of fish.

Nothing better than finesse fishing, up here in Central QLD some of us fish 4lb line and leader for mangrove jacks and other species. It's a real challenge.
Wow 4lb for Mangrove Jacks is killer. I would love to do that. Real shame we dont get them down here
That new rod looks simple yet so cool! Great video!
Thank you, I agree simple yet very good !!
another great vid Alan. Looks like great fun on the extremely light gear. 58 gram rod that is unbelievable!
Thanks !! yeah 58 grams is pretty crazy stuff
Up here on the Capricorn Coast the smallest jig heads in the tackle Shop is 1/4 :-) great vid jealous of your awesome Yak! ~FishOn
Thanks !!! wow smaller 1/4, i love the finesse stuff here even at times have gone to 1/40
@@fishingmad up here, I think the rule is: if at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer! Isn't finesse that thing all them young folks go and see that fella Jim about all the time??!? Hahaha ;-p
Nice to see you trying a Favorite rod. There getting popular here in the States. Some excellent catches also!
Thanks David, yeah they certainly are growing in the US and parts of Europe and Asia, bit of an unknown brand in Aus at the moment. Hopefully they can have some success here.
@@fishingmad I had a quick look and could not see any Australian distributors for Favorite. Did you import? Or is there one or some?
Great vid like always, keep up the great work Alan :)
Thank you !!
Awesome Vid Alan. Its cool to see how the new rods include tech to make them lighter and still strong. Some of my dads older rods might as well be sticks, compared to these new ones.
Wow, I love the vintage stuff. Id be fascinated to see some of those older rods.
That rod would be nice stalking little creeks. Good fishing mate.
100% agreed
Great video mate! You should make a video about chasing mulloway
Thanks Tristan, im hoping to do that in winter. Mulloway requires long hours, long nights and countless dedication around Melbourne as they are pretty tough to catch down here.
Great vid always the best. Watching you from malta
That's Amazing !!! Thanks for letting me know.
I just brought a 4'8 ugly stick fitted with a 2500 reel, love using it on the yak!
Wow thats a cool size, what are you targeting with it.
@@fishingmad whiting and flatties are the go. Not game enough to go off shore with the yak so smaller species are the go. Just found it's more manageable with a smaller rod on the yak
Well done Alan, nice video as always 👏 👍 😃👋👋
Thanks 👍Mario
Nice video and lovely session on the water. Was it fresh or salt water? Also what the brand of the jig heads that you are using on the soft plastic?
Thanks David
Thanks !! using TT Headlocks jigheads 1/20 and 1/28. In an estuary so a mix of salt and fresh
@@fishingmad brackish water that’s what I thought. Your ‘Pinkies’ are like our black bream in UK. TT I saw is an Australian company they don’t sell here in UK. Thanks for the reply.
Another great Video Alan. I decided to look up Black Swan rods and noticed that they are all shipped out of Ukraine - So my thoughts immediately went out to the people of that country.
Brilliant Vid, love the light rod, how much do they cost ?
Thanks, There $499 not cheap but very very good.
@@fishingmad where in Australia can we buy them mate? 🎣
Goodas video Allan, can you make a video reviewing all your rods and reel
Thanks !! I've been doing reviews of all my rods and reels in the members area, but ill try and get something together soon to share
@@fishingmad cheers mate
Hey Alan, took ur advice about getting a 2-4kg 7 foot spin rod, and it sucks, nah I’m just kidding it’s amazing thanks for the advice mate. Caught a couple squid with it last weekend and it worked like a dream 👍
LOL glad to hear it. Had me worried for a second there.
Great video again mate. Is that a PA 14 hobie ?
Thanks Nigel, yeah it sure is a PA14. I Love them.
@@fishingmad awesome mate. They are bloody terrific
How does it balance Alan? I would imagine you'd want a very lightweight 1000 reel of it may end up wanting to keep raising the rod tip in your hand.
1000% it was a tad unbalanced with the Siruis 2500 I was using, I have since tested it with a Vanford 2500 and Luvias 2000S and it balances really nicely. So nice tangling with fish of that size with a rod that light.
Great video nice rod too😁
Thanks 👍
@@fishingmad looks like a nice rod they are not cheap either😁
Hey Alan I know you fish around queens cliff and Barwon heads and I’m going soon so I was wondering if you have any other good spots around there that are not on your videos. Thanks mate 👍🎣
That whole area between barwon heads and Queesncliff is amazing the whole stretch is full of squid, whiting, gummies, pinkies and more. I hope to move down that way one day
Where you are fishing the bottom is thick weed, do you still bounce the jig off the bottom or do you try and keep it out of the weed?
The jig heads are very light and HWS so they dont snag up in the weeds to often, i try and work it at a pace that gets it just down to the weed level.
Hi, I have a BS 772M which is given for PE 0.6-1 and 6-26gr.
I wonder what's the point of using Fuji micro rings on the tip because they force you to leave the final braid knot outside the tip or stay under a 15lbs. Really a big limitation for a rod of this level.
bagus bangett paman,...ikut cara memancing ikan ya
