HI-LO RIG vs FISH FINDER RIG | Surf Fishing 

High low is great for verticealand short distance fishing while fish finder is perfect for the wave (less snags when configured with the right main and leader line size) Nice to see you back

7:11 Taking off the top shell is a game changer. No need to find soft-shell sand crabs anymore.

Hi Jun for your survey, I use a fish finder rig when the current is significant and I walk to follow the sinker. I use hi-low or Carolina otherwise because the leader(15 lb mono) can spin up in flight and tangle around the weight with the waves going in and out.

As always Jun great video watching from hueneme beach the pescadores. 🎣

The high low beats every rig except one. The only rig that can beat the high low is a self-made full size sabiki rig with 6 or more hooks. 1 hook rig will lose to 2 hooks rig but 2 hooks will always lose to 6 or more hooks rig. ;)

It's good to see you in the surf! Keep living the dream

Always nice to be there fishing.

Kapatid , it’s great to see you out there. Oh man. I have to say fish finder if you rerig with sand crabs . Best out of 5 haha. Great video Jun !

I use the Hi-lo rig in the rivers and ocean, with bait. I use the fish finder in lakes with striper fishing, with cut baits, like San Luis reservoir. I have good luck with both. I have used the hi-lo off charter boats for bottom fish with natural and artificial baits with good outcomes. I really don't think it matters that much. I loose fewer rigs in rocky locations with the hi-lo rig. I fished for sanddabs on sandy bottoms with the hi-lo but left the line loose to allow the other hook(s) to reach the sands for more hookups for multiple fish. Just go fishing, that's the key, get a line in the water.

It's simple for me. For surf I use Carolina and off of Piers, boats, bridges, and other structures I use Hi/Lo or single dropper if it's shallow. In creeks I sometimes use a jig with a red wiggler on it but about 6-8 inches above I loop a small hook onto the line with another red wiggler. It's great for panfish especially crappy and yellow perch.

My problem with the Fish Finder is that crab 🦀 snagging all my bait. This happened on piers and surf for me. I switched to hi-low to try and keep the bait off the floor. Thanks for the great video.

I wonder if you could do a combo 🤔 a dropper then weight then Carolina rig

There’s a very distinctive print on the sand that the sand worm makes on the surface that gives them away so you don’t go digging blind, it helps on your back and being efficient 👍🏽

I’ve been thinking of putting a little “rig float” on the hook ends of both these rigs, just to keep it off the bottom.

Good idea bro...that bait is so effective new friend her watching from doha qatar fish on..

I use both and i notice a difference in the spieces that bite each rig.

Hi sometimes hi low rig hooked to moderate rocky bottom how to prevent that

"aray ko" - LOL...you gettin' old Jun?

A fun video but I have never surf fished yet, always from a boat. I use the high low rig. Question: I thought we were only allowed two hooks?

Wassup Kuya. Keep slaying Brudder!!!!

I NEED THE ALAN ROD!!!

Ive had this debate with my cousin many times while we fish for perch, i think hi-low is better, its all about reading the beach and placing your bait in the right spot. Either one is fine but nothing beats getting a double hook up

I think the only true test would be to set up 2 poles, one with the hi-lo, the other with the fish finder.

I like to use fish finder wit 2 hooks so I can use 2 different baits and see wut their interested in dat day and to have more natural action from da waves 🤙🏽

I use hi lo if waves are strong, otherwise carolina. They are both effective for me!

Aray ko..aray ko...for the win 😂

What kind of shoes are you wearing?

Jun , do you always peel the shell off a sand crab when fishing for perch

Nice video

That is what I am gonna say before the video was done... It's hi lo if ya gonna target smaller species, while fish finder is for bigger on the other hand... One thing I noted about the hi lo that it has a very low ratio of missing and is successful most of the times....

Bro, are u allowed to have 3 hooks where your at? Just wondering. ✌🏽

modified Carolina rig with hi-lo.. 2 hooks

My wife caught her PB Striper on fish finder with sand crab, 8lb striper

I just use regular earthworms. They work and they don’t bite. Both die pretty quickly

Hi im Oné Of your follower and i like to have a fishing rod like the one you made butt i can not affordit like hoy much it cost

Hi low rigs actually are just laying on the bottom unless your vertical fishing or have floats on the hooks Lol

I actually use a rig that is like a combination of both.. one hook below and a sliding sinker in the middle before I put on the other hook.. It works well with me on striper fishing.. :)

Thats 17 bucks worth of worms in New England

Fish Finder is always going to lose against hi-lo, the weight being ahead of the hook on the fish finder means that the fish can strip your bait without you feeling the bite as they have to overcome the weight of the sinker in order for it to register on the rod tip, not the case for hi-lo as the hooks are after the weight.

Hookem up🎣🎣

💛...are there special regs on gathering bait?...i saw a couple months ago that someone had a video on collecting sandcrabs and restrictions...i suppose a license is required, but anything else?...great to have you back...more...

I thought it's illegal in CA to have more than two hooks per line..

Fish finder rig

holy cow never seen a smelt so big!

What’s up Jun!

Bandeng amerika

A A A Ari Ko Ari Ko

I fish the hi-lo rigs on my 10ft rods for catching Bait fish and Pompano. Then run My bait fish on fish finder rig with big cut bait for reds & sharks on my 12ft rods. You gotta use the right tool for the job guys. 🫡
