I’d recommend the Okuma SURF 8K Fixed Reel it’s around the £90 mark and a solid built and silky smooth reel . Tight lines n all that jazz 👍🏼

Okuma distance surf 80 reel. Cheap as chips and appear to be the only manufacturer that can make a line roller that lasts. I've been using them over fairly rough ground on the east coast of Scotland and while they don't feel as robust as some heavier and more expensive reels they just seem to keep going.

Can’t go wrong with some of the penn reels around £100 . Or a little more for the penn spinfisher long cast that are on sale at the moment becuase a new model is due and I have seen the 6500 size for as little as £125

Hi Brian Yep was thinking that too. Especially as the spots and colouration is similar to the LSDs over our shingle.

Yeah the heads are different too, we catch a lot of huss in the west of Ireland I knew straight away they weren't dogfish. Well done

@@SaltwaterAngler A great sign too, thornback rays are usually where you'll get Huss. I often think fish migrate to different area's, stay for maybe ten years breeding away then they move on and some stay behind and they naturalize there if they're not fished out. Pollution is a big factor too .

I use an Okuma Skyliner 8000 as my fixed spool. It has held up well with a nice big/comfy handle and did not break the bank. It feels very strong too.

Excellent video as always, well done Matt, you don't give up easily. It's all about perseverance, but it doesn't always pay off! I don't know how recent that last session was, but judging by the amazing sky it definitely looked like storm Ciaran coming in. I have never tried live bait when beach fishing, you've inspired me to have a go.

I’d love to go back in time to those days. I wonder what cod fishing would of been like in the 1900s before sea angling was a thing. Maybe there were 25lb bass in our seas at some point? Thanks will be dreaming of big fish now 👍

I never leave the rod when bassing! They can take a bait and spit it out in seconds - that's why well over 90% of mine are lip hoooked! I was given this advice by Ted Holgate of the Brighton Angler 40 years ago! Even so they've had the rod over before I'v

I thought the film in some parts looked cinematic, but different angles with a good camera would perhaps enhance your effort for more subs, the scenery and land with sea can be a big plus to widen out for viewers, many thanks.@@SaltwaterAngler

Akios Fireloop is a decent reel sub £100. If you can stretch to a R8 or R10 you will be impressed. I caught my first fish a 50cm Bass on live bait last week. Small pouting on short snood zipped down the line on a swivel clip. Was very exciting haha cool vids

Would a live bait rig work better like a small hook for the live bait then a bigger hook in front for the bigger fish , then the live bait is out with the bait fish

@SaltwaterAngler

Yes a stinger rig can be used to good effect. Yet to find a supplier of an all in one double small and big hook. I just use braid or old telephone wire to connect the two hooks - good question as I’ve been looking for a solid supplier for that stinger rig

Looks very similar to one of my sessions mate! I can catch a dogfish in a canal🤣😂 I’m a grand master🫣😂

Live baiting will attract larger fish….

Another way of identifying them maybe not as conclusive as the nasal flaps but if unsure and out of ideas - Huss eyes are def. Green and Dogs are black just another way of telling. You got a real great shot of the huss eyes 👀 as well 👍

I think the spotting pattern on lesser and greater spotted dogfish is quite different and one of them had the clear, round individual spots of the Huss and one the masses of freckles of all sizes of the doggie. Clearly bull huss and doggie.

You do understand as long as that live bait goes back in the water it’s food for another fish. Catching fish with rod and line is actually the best way to do it. I’m sure you buy fish from the supermarket and think that’s ok. think of the damage done by these boats. And look up the term bycatch. Usually a large amount of a catch is thrown back dead.
