Another nice video Cal. I have to say the line lay on your reel looks awful, no wonder you get wind knots. Good rod rings, good braid and reel means zero wind knots, all season.
Thanks. I literally hardly ever get wind knots. This is different braid to what I’ve been using. I normally use Daiwa J Braid which rarely knots. This stuff was lighter varivas braid. I fished in a 25mph cross wind the day before with my brother and that’s where the original knot came from. I managed to untangle it after this session in the video. I agree with you, the right braid, low diameter, good rod rings and a good reel will prevent that happening loads. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Hi Cal - good video. I read somewhere recently that the trick to help reduce wind knots in braid is to pour water over the spool (bottle of fresh water ideally) to wet it before you start. I have tried and and it seems to help, maybe the line just gets that bit stiffer when wet. I use spiderwire smooth which casts well but is prone to wind knots. So will keep trying this and see if it sorts the problem - I have had it ruin a days fishing after hiking a long way - maybe taking a spare spool is a wise decision?
Yeah that’s an idea worth trying I suppose. To be honest, I’ve not had many wind knots lately so I don’t see it as much of an issue (hopefully I haven’t just jinxed myself😂) a lot of the time I’ll shield the line with my hand as I’m casting. Wind knots are a pain yes, especially because braid is so expensive and it’s a nightmare if you can’t untangle it. I always have a spare reel in the car, I don’t carry it with me though as I like to take as little as possible. Fortunately in Guernsey, you’re never too far away from your car when fishing a mark. Thanks for watching and for the comment 👍🏼
Great video buddy yeah it was a tough afternoon I was there the same day still reckon there be plenty more bass to catch there keep up the great work I like those Samson bombs they look the bees knees 🔥🎣👍
Great video Cal i'm going to buy the same set up you've got tomorrow, not that there's any bass along the Moray Coast where I live but i had alot of fun spinning for mackies this summer and need a replacement for when they return. Tight Lines bud the closest I get to bass is your videos or the fish counter in Tesco.
A set up like that will cover you for all lure fishing so it’s a good choice. It’ll be light enough to have some fun with some mackerel but it’ll also have a good amount of strength to handle anything bigger too 👍🏼 Thanks for watching! 🎣
A fish is a fish Cal no mater what size it’s great you got out and catching is a bonus fine video it’s hard work people think it’s easy it’s far from that as we that fish knows, getting wind knots is a pain till the next one take care
Another great video. Thanks for sharing! You have mentioned in a few videos about the treacherous rocky conditions you move in. May I ask what footwear you are using and if you would recommend something else? Thanks!
Thanks 👍🏼 Ideally you’d probably want some boots with studs in I’d imagine but I just wear wellies 90% of the time. I have Guy Cotton ones at the moment. My waders are pretty standard too so they just have normal boots attached. They do the job though, apart from the odd slip here and there 😂
Thanks. Ive actually been using Daiwa J Braid 8 strand for about 18 months and its the best braid ive used so far. My other reel has the Varivas braid on because Veals sent it to me as they were out of stock of the Jbraid. Ive since got another back up spool. I agree with you, very little wind knots, its a quality braid 👍
Thanks. I’ve been using the bomb a lot yeah. I’ve had quite a few bass on it now. That was the first time I’d used the stealth glide so it was fresh out the packet. It was too windy that day to use it properly and I’ve not been out since. It has a nice action to it though so I’ll definitely be using it more over the next few weeks.
Another great video Cal. Mark looks like it’s got massive potential. My son and I would love to visit the CIs for fishing. Any chance of a rod and reel review as we are both fans of Penn and Shimano.
Yeah you should definitely visit sometime. I've only used the rod a few times so far however, i'm really impressed with it. It has a fast action tip so very good for working surface lures 👍 I've been using the Shimano Nasci 4000 for a while and it is an excellent reel. I bought the Shimano Sahara recently because i couldn't find the nasci anywhere in stock. Thats also a really nice reel too. Shimano reels are very well made. They're also a little smaller then other reels of the same size i.e, the 4000 is more like a 3000 etc
@@FISHINGWITHCAL my son has exactly the same spinning set up - Nasci 4000 (lovely reel) and Nevercrack. They are brilliant. There is a new Nasci out now so maybe that’s why you couldn’t find one - old ones out of stock and new ones not yet in stock.
Hi cal . Question for you. Do bass take lures when the water is murky as I know first hand they take lures when water is cloudy. ? Top fishing as always.
Yeah they will do. It can be tougher going if the water is really murky but using something like a hard lure with a rattle or a soft lure with a paddle tail will still attract them to it. People will vary on opinions on weather to use a bright coloured lure or a dark one. I think it depends on the venue and conditions you’re fishing in. You will still catch bass on lures in murky water though. 👍🏼
Hi Cal, What reel is that your using. I have a Shimano Sedona which has been great very smooth reel similar to the one your using. Also, what braid do you recommend ? Great videos by the way.
Hi. It’s a Shimano Sahara 4000. I had 15lb Varivas braid on in this video. I switch between the Sahara and the Nasci 4000 and usually use 26lb Daiwa J Braid. Daiwa braid is the best I’ve used so far. 👍🏼
Great vid cal , kept it real ...including the bloody wind knots !
Love a wind knot. 😂👍👍 Great video. 🐟🐟
oi oi CAL nice day out on the rocks dude shame the silvers were scarce but one is better than none .. keep them coming mate tight lines and have fun
Cheers as always John 👍🏼

You sure know your lure fishing in the sea. Water conditions, winds weight. Great video👍🇨🇦
Fine effort Cal, not the easiest of places to get to or fish but I believe it is much better in that area in the winter, thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍
Cheers Pat 👍 Yeah i'll give it a go during the winter. Ive heard of some good fish being caught around there. Definitely worth more time fishing!
Nice one Cal - always enjoy your vids. Great scenery as always. For me its all about getting out there - catching is a bonus.
Thats true! Thanks a lot 👍
👏 well done, really enjoy your videos m8.
Keep up the great work👍
Thanks a lot 🤙🏼

@@FISHINGWITHCAL thanks for the reply! Keep those great videos coming!
way to grind it out. tough fishing. as you've said, it's more walking than the actual fishing. always good to explore new places though.
Yeah sometimes its like that, especially when fishing somewhere you've not been much before. Thanks for watching 👍
Tough conditions well done I use diawa j braid 8 strand haven’t had any wind knots so far this summer with it maybe worth checking it out

@@FISHINGWITHCAL yes I think it’s very good value and quality I use it on a Mitchel rz mag 3000 and savage sks5 lovely rod for lures
@@stuwelshcoastangling6612 Nice 👌
Another nice video Cal. Question, when loading braid onto your reels do you use mono backing first or just wind on braid only.
Thanks. I back it with mono first yeah. I use anything between 15-20lb then tie the braid on.
Hi Cal,great vid cheers👍have you had more hook ups with the bomb or stealth glide?

Question. Are you wearing lightweight waders and how comfortable would they be if you have a long walk?
They’re pretty light weight yeah. They’re the cheaper Vass ones. Fine for walking a long way as long as it not a hot day!
