Was randomly just thinking about how long it's been since you posted a video, and sure enough you just did yesterday. Sick. I can't wait to get back out there with my kayak once it comes in.

Good see your video back, the Santa Cruz fire was my thought you didn't get out. Great content in the gears. I believe the fish is out there!!

Yes, definitely more reviews!

TY for the review. I just bought the same reel based ob research and your video.

Great reels! I moved to southern CA recently. I have a 3500and a 4500 bailless from fishing stripers back in the northeast, ny, ct, etc. Your videos are great man. I miss fishing back east and heard your stripers are a little smaller. I might have to open up some moving boxes and get the babies out and hit the beach. Thanks for the motivation👍👍

cool to see new vid liiked the ray battle .i just had one my self lots of arm pump .

If you don’t mind me asking what kinda pole and how long is it ? Thanks , you have epic videos

I have the spin fisher VI 8000 use it for sturgeon on the fraser and it's rock solid but the larger ones have all brass gears If I can ever travel again I wanted it for pelagic etc in the Mayan riviera as well

Yes, more reviews please!

I have the same problem with low cranking power with this reel (and my SSVI6500). They increased the line capacity of this generation so the spool width increased, so more line is retrieved per crank. SSV4500 pulled 34" per crank whereas SSVI4500 pulls 40". They should have made the handle longer to accommodate for this increase in line per crank. I fixed mine by under spooling it to about 1/2 capacity. Now line per crank is less and I have more cranking power.

I thought the gear was machined brass? looks like 5500 and below are aluminium and 6500 and above are brass main gears! thanks for the info!

Great review!

Nice man put a video out right on my break now I’m hiding lol I’m gonna grab the penn clash 2 thanks for the videos man keep it up keep getting out there.

I don't know much about those two reels, but Tackle Advisor has probably talked about them in the 100$ reels review and he goes in depth with stuff. If you can, definitely get a Spinfisher over those two. The Spinfisher is sealed and is one of the best reels you can buy in that upper price range.

So the Battle handle fits the Spinfisher? It looks sporty.

what daimeter line u spool on it and how many meters?

Yeah I am liking the reviews how does the lamiglas compare to a Okuma rockaway in weight/sensitivity also do you have any experience on the tsunami shield line of reels I am looking to pick one up for Christmas probably a 5000 size plus an Okuma rockaway med/hey 10’ for fishing bigger plugs about 2-3 oz for striper and around 2-3.5 oz drop shots for halibut planning on 30 lbs braid as my main line and probably 15-20 lb topshot just wondering your thoughts on these two items and if you have any time/exposure with them

I’ve used the tsunami shield a handful of times and it seems like a solid reel for the price. As for the Rockaway, I wouldn’t recommend it. I actually owned one before I got my lamiglas and it was not at all what I expected. It was a complete noodle and couldn’t cast more than an ounce. I fish a lot of pencil poppers and the rod couldn’t work them at all. If you can, spend spend the extra money and get the Insane. If not, the Tsunami Trophy 2 is a great option for under $100, just make sure you get the distance version, the standard ones are too heavy

good rod and reel

Great vid. What do you think about this rod paired with a BG3500? I believe the reel body is the same as a 3000, with just a little bigger spool? Would this rod work well for drop-shotting for flatties?

I like a 8’6” or 9’ salmon rod with a medium heavy action and a really fast tip. I’d say an okuma sst medium heavy or a daiwa north coast in heavy ( both are rated for 1 1/2 ounces) as for the reel, the bg 3000 is great. I also highly recommend the shimano spheros 4000. Both are about the same size (Daiwa reels run large). Any combination of these would be great for pretty much everything you could want to throw in the surf. I pretty much only use the surf rods for popper fishing

Bummer about the Battle. I have Battle 1’s & 2’s that I’ve fished near shore from my boat for years and never had a problem with any of them. I wouldn’t use them in the surf but they performed very well drifting for snapper, grouper, etc…

Different lap top hit the wrong button before. Have been looking for your vids.. slow fishing/catches so no vids? In this video you changed lures frequently, was that in the same location? Your surf/wave conditions look nothing like what I see on my trips to the surf. You must live on the surf/beach so you know when surf/waves are best for casting/fishing/catching. I really enjoy all your commentary. You really know your fishing and local area. You're likely the best fisher in your locale. looking forward to your next vid.

All in the same location. I was switching lures to see how they worked with my rod, not to try and catch fish. Striper fishing is pretty much dead this time of year, so it's mostly just perch fishing

Oh the only thing that I’m familiar with that you have down there is halibut. I’d get a couple lucky crafts and calissas. surf pointer 115s are pretty good. I usually stick to soft plastics for halibut though.

Is it just me or are you flicking your bail over mid cast aka before your lure hits the water? If so why, I thought that would add continuous stress on the liner roller and bail arm

@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231

2 жыл бұрын

I do flick it over just before it hits the water but not enough for it to cause tension on the line. All it does is pick ip most of the slack in the line before I close the bail so I’m not reeling in a bunch of slack every cast. Helps with wind knots

the reason it was harder to reel then other reels is because ov the fast retrieval speed which hurts reeling power .

The retrieve speed on the penn is the same as both my bg and spheros, about 40 inches per turn. The spinfisher was still a lot more difficult to crank with

3 жыл бұрын

Would have thought the line retrieves would be different. With those reels mentioned. Spheros depending on size i thought is around 4.6 to 1. The Penn has a 6.2 to 1 ratio. Hence the difference. The BG has a ratio inbetween the two but has very large main gear which would help with more cranking power

@thesantacruzsurfcaster6231

3 жыл бұрын

Matthew Faulkner maybe that’s true with the old spheros, but the new spheros 4000 has a 6.4 to 1 gear ratio and brings in 40 inches. The difference has to do with the way the main gears are supported, the spingisher seems to bind to the pinion under pressure more than the Spheros
