Come with me as I share my hunting and fishing adventures, the outdoors and how to tutorials in the Pacific Northwest. I live for fishing and hunting in the beautiful state of Oregon!
I actively pursue Winter Steelhead, Summer Steelhead, Sturgeon, Salmon, Trout, Surf Perch, Rockfish, Elk, Deer, Waterfowl and many other species that the state of Oregon has to offer. Some of my favorite places are the Sandy River, Clackamas River, Oregon Coast, Henry Hagg Lake, Tillamook Bay, Oregon Beaches plus many other destinations!
I would love to share my adventures with you and your family as I strive to create high quality outdoor adventure content.
couple years ago picked one up myself. Purpose was surf for stripers & halibut here in CA. Was able to take it out to get sense of it. Was sensitive enough and casted 4oz like a dream. Had my Tsunami Saltx 6000 with 30lb Power Pro SSV2. It was pretty nice for my purpose. Agree it's definitely a bit bendy for sturgeon. I have a different brand 12' rod for bigger critters & creatures.
Thank you for mentioning the use of leaded line for the buoys. It always is risky when boating near crab buoys because many people just use the cheap floating nylon line. If I use nylon line I insert lead core into it near the buoy to sink the line. Thank you also for attaching the buoys in the right direction.
Do you know how long this rod is when split? I’m making a travel tube for my rods and I don’t have this rod yet but I’m planning to have it in the future and don’t want to cut my tube longer than necessary.
I don’t think it matters too much, but we always secure the tag end with zip ties and then wrap it with electrical tape because that lead rope doesn’t cinch down very well. Hope that helps, and good luck out there.
June 11, 2024-- I purchased this exact rod in 2021. Because I have had a long term illness, I didn't use it until last week. Using a red/white bobber and 1/8oz weight, the pole broke 1 1/2ft from the tip. Fluke? I;m sticking with Penn.
You should be alright with that rod but for me, ... I would feel like I was bringing a knife to a gunfight…… just saying... There have been many times I was under gunned and lost the monsters because I wanted to be sporting…🤣🤣lol
Cool video fellas I'm just asking man people say they don't do good with blue crabs can you catch blue crabs with that cage people say they come out through the big squares I don't know That's why I'm asking y'all fellas is that cage good for blue crabbing
Bought it like that in 12” lengths with threaded ends and matching caps. It’s more expensive that way, but more convenient. I’ve also just cut sched 40 to length and glued caps on in the past. Both methods work
That’s a good idea, but I have a protective plastic guard on the end of my tailgate that inhibits the magnets. It doesn’t slip anyway, I added another magnet bar to the back. Thanks for the comment.
Yes yes yes yes YES! I love the egg loops knot but the tag tearing up my live bait was very frustrating, I wanna buy you a six pack mate! I’ll only be doing it this way for now on, great vid too, very easy to follow along
I've read nothing but good things about these gloves, watched that guy who compares a bunch of different products head to head (can't remember his name off hand) and these blew all the competitors out of the water in most of the tests he put them through. Only problem is, they increased the price of these from $15 to $25 since you made this video. Most of the 6mil nitrile gloves are still $10 to $15 per box of 100 gloves. Kinda hard to justify spending $25 on disposable gloves, especially when they nearly doubled the price in a few short years
I agree. I still really like these gloves but I couldn’t even buy them for awhile and then when they came back, they had increased the price. I’ve tried a few other brands that are pretty decent, but none seem to be as rip resistant. I’m glad you found this video helpful though.
