hey everyone,
So I went out with my stepson on this one, and being as we really wanted to get him his first conger, we decided on our local venue of freshwater. Really enjoyable session, and got to try out a new rod, the Akios airpower 420 GTR. We both managed to get our target, not the biggest by any stretch, but target all the same. I also got a love bite from my conger. Lesson learnt there, keep fingers well away, even if they are small
Hope you enjoy

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

No doubt he'll get annoyed with them soon enough🤣, mate I couldn't believe how much it hurt for a tiny fish. I think anything over a 5lb would destroy your fingers🤣🎣🎣

Another nice, chilled and fun session, we’ll done Guys and we’ll done Jake! Agree with you about having two rods out, might be more work, but it means you can fish a big rig/bait and a scratching rig. A venue I’ve never fished, will give it a go sometime. Thanks for posting, Dylan 👍

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Welcome Steve mate, it's an easy one down there, and the bass will be in there soon too. Now we are in April, I'll be looking to try and get one👍🎣🎣

Eazy Dylan you ok pal, you won't go rong with akios mate, one of the best companies I ve used, especially the customer service. Well done on your session, you saved the cheque book and pen.and your bang on with the health bag as you never no with getting cuts . I've just got bk from this morning session on the humber. It was 2 whiting, a 29cm dab and a flounder that stopped 3 blanks on the spin. All the best from GRIMSBY.

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Well done mate, catching a nice variety of fish there buddy. Yeah they seem to offer a really good range of rods, I'd like to try the akios airlyte 355, reckon it would be great for bassing. 👍🎣🎣

@Codeagles1 6 месяцев назад

Nice video buddy. I actually look forward to seeing your vids now each week. Last time I went fishing I made the mistake of using my teeth to tighten a knot. It slipped and got a 2/0 j hook in my lip had to pull it right through and cut the hook😅😅 it's dangerous out there hahaha look forward to tye next one 👍

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Ouch mate, that sounds nasty, so many ways of hurting yourself fishing. I was chatting to someone, and he had a crack off mid cast, and caught his gripper in the back of his head, still clipped up🤮🎣🎣

@thetattooedangler 6 месяцев назад

Have you tried a continental style match rod? I have a 14ft 3oz casting weight rod and it's awesome. It's light enough that I can cast it all day, whippy enough that I can whack out a 3oz lead 150yds easy, but powerful enough to handle anything up to around 20lb.

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Hey mate, I had the competition match st from tronix pro, which was great with the smaller leads, and would handle bigger leads aswell. But those types of rods, are a bit too soft for our tides here. I think for bream fishing in the summer they would be ok, with 4/5 Oz grippers, but most of my fishing is with 6oz grippers. I do want something a bit lighter for those breamy bassy days though👍🎣🎣

@scottkenny7661 6 месяцев назад

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

@kevinwilliams4899 6 месяцев назад

I like to fish two rods, Gives you a chance to fish two totally different baits to see what's about.

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

I must admit, I prefer to use two rods at all times, even when bassing. I know the experts will say it should be one when bassing, and hold on to it, and I get that for some situations, but when you're just chucking a couple of baits out, the. I'm two all the way 🎣👍👍

@davidhumphriss1573 3 месяца назад

Hey Dylan, love your content. Here's a little hint. Get a meat tenderizer and beat your squid strips till almost clear, then bind it to your fish bait or crab, sand eel even shrimp. Two reasons, life like luster and releases more scent. (also you use less). found it to be quite successful along the welsh coast. good luck and laughter to you and yours, regards.

@FrugalOutdoors 3 месяца назад

That's a great tip mate, thank you👍🎣🎣

@chriskimber5729 6 месяцев назад

Can i just make an observation mate.to do with your rods as i think that you are not using fixed spool rods you're using multiplier rods which will reduce your casting distance and you technically are using them back to front.the reason i say it is because of the amount of eyes and their size .normally a fixed spool rod has fewer eyes and they are bigger on a fixed spool rod.nasty little eel that mate be careful with the bigger ones cos they'll take your finger right off.lol.

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Hey Chris mate, I believe they are both hybrid rung, as in for both multiplier and fixed spool, I could be wrong on that though. I think the first eye is larger and slightly further away from the butt section to allow for a smoother line run. 👍🎣🎣

@chriskimber5729 6 месяцев назад

@@FrugalOutdoors ah right ok only wondering as apart from the eyes the strength of the rod when casting is on opposite sides with multiplier and fixed spool because as you know you hold the rod differently with each one.like i say was just an observation tight lines mate.👍👍

@paulcorbin7495 6 месяцев назад

@colinmaceachern9 6 месяцев назад

Good video once again. Chuffed for Jacob getting his first conger. The GTR is a lovely rod to cast. If you're finding the tip a bit springy, lengthen your drop , then put the power in at the end of the cast. I do think we tend to be more tentative when the rod is not ours. Akios prototypes are cast by many anglers with different casting styles and abilities . Don't be afraid to give it some welly .

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, yeah he was so happy to get one, and thanks for the tips regarding the rod. He's got it back now, but I had a second go with it, and did find I got on better the second time. It feels so much different to my other rods, but I love the way it sits in the tide👍🎣🎣

@mickthefishkett784 6 месяцев назад

another good watch mate, half hour of viewing zips by. you got thru some bait, inbetween bites ,how long do you leave the rods out? like us coarsies ,we time our casts, do you sometimes do the same?

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Thanks is mate, yeah I generally leave them for about 20 minutes, some times longer if I forget, or less if I get frustrated 🤣🤣🎣🥴🥴

@2534will 6 месяцев назад

Top vid again mate target achieved . Look cracking rods those akios and nice of knobby to let you try it out. See you next weekend mate :)

@FrugalOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

Thanks mate, yeah I had another go last time out, I do like it, but it feels completely different to my current rods, and a bit heavier too. Nit sold on it yet, but maybe a few more goes, and it may seem itself on my rod rest🤣👍🎣🎣
