Either are fine. Everywhere says that 2500-3000 are good for bass. You can try to find if the company which makes the reels run small or large compared to others. Or you can check the carrying capacity for the weight line you use, for example if you use a little bit higher weight line then you should pick the 3000 if it carries more line yardage.
People have so many options for what they can eat yet you choose to further deplete the only food of the local wildlife and compete with them for their only food source. Did you know 1000 seals have died of starvation in the last 5 months in Kaikoura? Just been on the news. Nice one mate you must be proud contributing to that.
Some great lures used most of these but I love the chenko fished on a Makara weedless teaser rig, especially in winter, those teaser rigs bring the lure alive, great video
Great vid, I've been reading your website for some time without realising you're on RU-vid. As someone who is looking to start fishing, sometimes you can feel smothered with too much info. The way you present your info on vid and via words is really good. Having said that, I'm still bouncing around as to what rod/reel combo to get for someone (me) who just wants to attempt to do some mackerel and bass fishing every now again.
Im glad you cook it not used as bait in every countries including United states they always use smaller fish like that mackerel to caugh a big one or a good one but didn't know mackerel has alot of nutritions & rich in omega-3 good deliciously food i eated at in asian.
Yeah it's true, in a lot of countries they are considered pretty undesirable. I think it's just because they've historically been widely available, whereas scarcer fish are presumed to be more special, bit of an issue that!
Jj minnow by pays bass have an articulated head which knocks and is like a dinner bell for the bass, they are also more durable and don't break easy after a few fish like the fiish minnows.. plus the action is out of this world 🌎 check them out . Far better minnows
I’ve got a couple of 10 foot spinning rods and plan to start rock fishing next year… They are 1-3 oz rated. Which of these reels would you recommend. A mate of mine has been going on about the Okuma Ceymar? Budget about £100-£125.Great series of videos! 👍⭐️🇬🇧
Penn Pursuit 5000, it's big enough to balance on those rods and is a work horse. It's also a bit heavier than some other reels which will help balance with the heavier blank of your rod (up to 3oz is pretty heavy - a generalist sea fishing rod). Good luck! Reuben
Great video guys! Quick question on reel maintenance, should I be taking my reel apart and doing any specific cleaning? I have the Abu Garcia cardinal reel, maybe 2 years old now and it’s started to jam up. I rinse it in fresh water every now and then after use. Maybe it’s time to try out a Penn..
@@mattgenders81 it's a fairly controversial one - the reel companies say they don't want you to submerge them in fresh water, as it can actually cause salt on the exterior of the reel to get inside where it otherwise might not. I do it anyway if the reel has been splashed a lot or dunked, otherwise I don't. Grease is the answer rather than oil, applied to any gears you can get access to, with a small amount going a long way. WD40 makes things worse as of course it removes grease, but it's a common mistake to use that. However, it's easier to get it serviced by a company like felindreinnovations.co.uk/reel-servicing/. I had a chat with one of the guys there and they said they receive so many reels that have been taken apart and not put back together! (I think I've done that at least once!). Good luck whatever you decide!
Best bass lure without doubt is the Hart X3 pencil, you can fish it deep or on top & the takes are explosive when they take them on top. Trouble is they stopped making them a few years ago 😢.
it doesnt matter what you use just dont reel to quick and cast just behind the school and bring your lure slowly back threw them, a single replaces trebles and fished point up you'll rarely snag, i landed mackerel on everything from mepps comets size 0 to 28g abu toby,
Something you can do with the cheaper lead foil covered or silver painted casting lures is to dunk the bare body in clear 2 pack epoxy resin before use and it keeps the coating from coming off. Some of these lures only last a day or two before the coating comes off. If you have any that have already lost their shine and are just down to the lead you can dunk them in the epoxy then sprinkle some silver glitter over them, let this dry and then another dunk in the epoxy and your lure is all good again and will stay good.
Mackerel would take a bare hook sometimes, i use krill lures in Ireland during August off the rocks into deep water on a l savage gear Ultra light trout rod and 1000 size reel only problem is porbeagle sharks taking them on the way in. They are pests im the late summer time. Usually you'll get the lure back and a piece of mouth 😂👍
Yes they do, although for feathers you need a heavier rod and the rods we like for lure fishing are too light for lifting 5 mackerel so we don't cover them here. Cheap silvers can certainly work but hook sizes and quality are sometimes off and they usually don't fall down the water column very nicely - e.g. they fall like a knife rather than fluttering down slowly
Fiiish is allways a go to lure, but you got many cheaper alternatives. Can I add few more? Atleast here in Slo/Cro coast.....Keitech 3'3 to 4' - weedless, Yo-Zuri minnow, Lorenzo top water, Rapala walk 'n' roll ;) great video BTW
