Now don't go giving my grands any ideas, lol. You put out alot of great info on you channel. I just started surf fishing a year ago while on vacation on the gulf side if Florida. I live in the Fingerlakes, NY and catch lakers avg. 6 lbs. Catching quite a few smaller out of the ocean is different, but you never know what you might catch.
Make sure you use a shock leader in the event that you do get that big lunker on the beach and don’t have to worry about a slight Nick in your line. I like using 50 pound shock leader thats about twice the length of my surf rod. The other biggest benefit of a shock leader is your line won’t break on a hard cast with a 5 ounce sinker.
Thanks Jo, I couldn’t find my wood shiskabob skewers.. they actually work a little better because they are a little wider. Don’t bother with the bamboo skewers. I’ll give the shrink wrap a try!
A very helpful video. Would you mind listing all of the parts and dimensions that are needed to make the drill component? Without that info, I'd probably end up buying the wrong sizes and pieces. Thank you. Tony

Max, not only that.. I was once told by an old timer that sometimes fish like to nip at the bait before biting it. The soft float is more flesh like. The hard floats might spook them if they nip and feel it is not worth eating.

You have the air adapter. just hook it up to an air compressor or a foot pump and blow them out.
Awesome idea! If I put the compressor up to 110psi I can do some target practice! Lol

10:47 small piece of heat shrink on that push rod might help. Awesome video

Why do you want the larger floats? Good videos

Tony, I think I clearly stated all hardware parts needed. I will review the video later and if I forgot something I’ll let you know.

Guessing that foam holds up better to the crabs?

Pompano Brownie looks like a trip to Lowe’s is in my future 😀
