Thanks Dean, I am a backpacker from Chile living in Tinaroo area, usually casting only plastics and will give it a go to jerkbaits.
Try big 8 inch curly tail grubs or other large lures in tinaroo trust me mate
Try the Molix Sahd 140 in there as well mate if you haven't already. I know a lot of guys catch on them in Tinaroo
@@DeanSilvester thanks for the advice! I finished watching your other videos about molix, I've used the 120 before, got a couple 140 now and will give it a go on next days and for full moon
@@Riley-lz6lq thanks for the advice! Will give it a go, ussually been ising 5 inch plastics
good luck mate, i hope you whack a bunch. This full moon should be good
Awesome mate. Awesome tips for anyone chasing barra on jerk baits, and that hit on the pause 😳😳 there is nothing better
thanks mate, yes 100% my favourite bite haha
Here we go.. mate these are awesome so informative thankyou for the time you out into these cheers big fella
Glad you like them mate, not a problem.
Great video Dean, thank you so much. Im heading to Monduran next week and this helped me a tonne. Thanks Mate, keep up the good work.
Best of luck! sorry for late reply, hope you got a few
Mate im off to Mondi tommorrow for a few days. Just wanted to say thanks allot for all the info and tips, its invaluable info! I owe you a beer if I ever bump into you. Cheers mate
Have fun! I hope you catch a few and thank you for the kind words. I will be around all the barra dams a lot this spring and summer so might see me there
Started Jerk Bait fishing for largemouth bass last fall. Fished all summer now into the fall. Haven't caught a thing or even a hit. Was going to give up on the jerk bait. But, Dean after watching this video. I believe my technic is all wrong. It could be my color selection also. I think I will double down on the jerkbait and give it another try. Great VIDEO. I am still learning alot from them all. Thanks, Dean! Shawn.
Thanks mate, love my vision 110 on the USA bass scene. Jerkbaiting is super effective over there, has been for me anyway
Thank you heaps I was fishing today and dropped two 80 plus Barra and I dropped both of them because the hooks were bent heaps and my drag wasn’t too tight I was using 30 Ld braid and 50 ld litre so I couldn’t have my drag too tight any way but the hooks were all bent so I was thinking I would need better stronger hooks and now I know what hooks to get thank you.
Nice work! Sorry you lost the fish but now you know for next time.
for my barra fishing its HT squirrel DD 79s in silent also using the smash minnow 100s as well. same as u, i dont swap out the terminals unless needed and colour is how i feel at the time. will say that the black/gold has accounted for some nice barra but i dont use it all the time. cheers.
Nice one, I don’t think I have ever used a black gold one
Great tips for all 👍
cheers mate
Hey Dean
Mate just a quick thank you. I've been following your tips for Barra. Just thought I'd let you know I got a 84cm on a squirrel 115cm this morning, twitching it as you recommend. First time I've landed a Barra on monduran. Used a number if tips I've watched on your video.
Starting to find em a bit easier now so putting myself in the right areas. Thanks again.
thanks heaps mate, really appreciate getting these sorts of comments, its nice to know when my work is helping people...
Loving you’re videos mate, awesome content bro. I’m off to monduran in a couple of months so I’m keen to try some of youre tips man 👌🤙
daniel kennedy thanks mate much appreciated. Have a few more uploading soon so hopefully it will help you out.
Dean Silvester cheers brother, appreciate it dude, I’ll definitely be checking them out man love my Barra fishing
@@danielkennedy3313 awesome mate
Thats Lure my dream broth..😊
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
This guy is barramundi engineer
hahaha thanks mate
Great info!! thank you...
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Dean Paul from thehook&thecook love the channel mate have you done any clips on your Lowrance HD side scan. Just wanting to learn more on tips for Barra on my HDS sides scan cheers great clip mate 👍
have done a few videos on side scan, down scan and 3d however not directly related to targeting barramundi.
Hey mate, i see you use TubeBuddy, is it worth it? do you pay for it?
Dean Silvester not sure really Dean it helps withTagging clips mate. We have found the biggest thing is the title. It’s a bit odd our channel as we fish and cook. I can have a chat with you if you pm me on face book Dean.
@@TheHookandTheCook sounds good mate will do
You can actually cast a 12 gram lure using 40 lbs mainline/60lbs leader?
Sure can mate!
Before you have landed your first Baz of the day and you dont know how they are biting yet, do you run lighter leader and risk getting dusted or go the safety approach?
Nope, never. always stick with 80LB FC100 on the molix shad and only go down to 60lb FC100 for jerkbaits to get a better action.
@@DeanSilvester legend. Cheers mate. Keep up the good work! Loving the Barra stuff especially
Hey mate can u do a tutorial on swim baiting for cod... with and with our chin weights
sounds like a good one mate, yes will do
Awsome thanks mate!!
@@boogieferguson8603 no problems
Great video thanks Dean. I think that unknown colour is Uroka Wakasagi or something like that. I've also had success with matte pearl white. I've always used the standard HT hooks without issue. One of mine seems to be running a bit crooked. Would you suggest I twist the tow point slightly with pliers to get it to run straight? Also wanted to add that I tried fly fishing for Barra on my last trip but struggled with my casting. Turns out that Barra flies are very different to the smaller flies I'd been practicing with. Now that I'm back in Bass territory - what flies would you recommend using at Maroon/Hinze etc?
yes 100%, barra flies are way heavier and difficult to cast without the right type of line and rod weight etc.
Yes bend the tow point slightly until you get it to track straight again, if its not tracking straight it won't get the depth you need to get a bite.
I only ever use one type of fly for bass and thats the bass vampire.
@@DeanSilvester Thanks mate and all the best for your 2020 vision 👍
cheers mate, much appreciated
Hi Dean, what knot do you use to tie to that split ring.Cheers Rod ps great videos I just love Barra Haven't caught that many but still love em
hey mate glad you asked haha, i did do a video on it but haven't uploaded it yet and really sorry but don't know the name of the knot. Will find out the name and post the knot video next week...
Thanks again mate, much appreciated
Learnt a lot from this vid cheers Dean! I want that hat too where’d you get it? 🎣
Thats awesome mate, sooo good. Will get back to you about the cap, i thought Mo had it in stock but can't find it online. Let you know soon.
Dean Silvester thanks Dean appreciate it mate 🙏🏻
brettg2309 MoTackle have one in store and will be on the web by tomorrow. They have ordered more as well and should have them within a week.
Hey mate with the Jerkbait do you use the double deep one or the shallow one more
Killersloth Gaming hey mate, I run the double deep version, fish are typically between 8-12ft of water
Nice review sir. How can i get the lure
Available in most tackle stores in Aus or Japan mate
Looking at upgrading my gear for barra. Currently run a 2500 shimano sedona with 10lb braid. The thing will get smoked in no time? When using a bait caster, how does it fish with soft plastics, poppers etc?
/ what is the minimum reel size, braid and leader you recommend for someone looking at targeting bigger fish, such as barra. but doesnt have as much free cash for a complete upgrade just yet. Moving up to Rockhampton in a week and dont want to get caught short and lose decent fish and tackle. cheers mate
Awesome mate, minimum i would be running is a 300. I caught that giant in the fitzroy river last season on my other RUclips channel and it was on a 200 but that reel is ruined now. If your with a spin reel i am now using the stradic 5000 and a zodia 274 spin for my clients when i guide. Check my latest video mate. very dependable mid to low budget combo
@@DeanSilvester top man. cheers mate
How is that sunline siglon x8? Does it fray ? Is the casting great ?
i prefer to use the new Siglon ADV now mate, much higher abrasion resistance
Ive never used a baitcaster before. Is it essential for barra jerkbaiting or will spin work just as well?
Spin will work mate, i often use spin on really windy days
@@DeanSilvester thanks heaps dean. Good to know i can save some $$
Hope your getting into a few
@@zacn2817 thanks legend, always a few to be found
Where do you get the rattling versions???
Don't know anymore haha! i can't find any now
What size are the squirrels
These are the 79mm mate SDD hank tune
Thanks mate for your advice going to Awoonga this year first time Barra fishing. Normally fishing for bass and cod so any advice would help.
keep me in the loop with when you are going and i will do my best to help you out
Hey mate I won’t to try Barra fishing some day what dam would you recommend to try that the Barra aren’t to hard to catch great video by the way
awesome fish mate and worth the effort to target, best dam to target them in is Awoonga. Don't have to travel too far to find them and plenty of fish about. Monduran is also really good but it is a big dam and lots of places for the fish to be etc.
What's the dial for on the left side of the reel?
cast control mate
@@DeanSilvester i thought that is what the other round knob on the right side is for?
the other one controls the pressure on the bearing of the spool mate.
@@DeanSilvester isn't that the same thing?
@@22whitbread no mate, not at all. haha
I know you said colour doesn't matter but I'm so meticulous 😭 I fish Saltwater barra up in the NT and the colour of water I fish in is usually really discoloured and green. What colours would you reccomend in the Jackell squirell? Also should I fish a silent or rattled lure? Cheers
If it’s discoloured I would try rattles and I would also use white or ones with UV highlights. Some contrast never hurts
@@DeanSilvester yeah right, any particular ones with the squirell?
i like all the UV coloured ones mate for dirty water. violet power and any with chart on them
Hey mate, can you use that same rod with a spin reel?
No mate, not that rod but you can get a spin rod suited for jerk baiting Barra
@@DeanSilvester Say I went to a smoke hd, what rod would be ok for both swim & jerk baits from a kayak? I would also like to troll jerk baits a bit too, is there a good in between rod you'd choose if I could only afford one? cheers mate
@@sicktattoobro so hard to use just one mate, as you need a lighter tp rod to cast jerkbaits and a heavier rod for swimbaits.
@@DeanSilvester I ended up getting an amped 2 barra rod but the shorter lighter one for kayak use, Max 20 pound braid and I got a 100mm molix shad cos they were sold out of the 140's, have already left Mackay now so I'll use that to troll bass lures at Wivenhoe which is where I go the most, cheers for your help
Awesome mate, hope you get a bunch
Hello, which you recommend floating or suspending type of jerk bait? Thanks,have a good day sir. 😃
I prefer and mostly use suspending jerkbaits as i like to leave it in the zone as long as possible and on the pause the lure isnt rising so that means it will get deeper each time and not rise up out of the zone.
Thank you for your response. 😃
no worries
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks baby, i hope you are studying
