@KonkanFishing 5 лет назад

Lots of good info! Loved the video.... We don't have that many jacks where I fish, they're fewer but bigger in average. Then again we fish the beaches where there are a lot of rocks and not estuaries. One interesting thing about Jacks is that at one spot they feed very well during the incoming tide, but feed very well on the outgoing tide in another spot about half an hour away. We hit them at the first spot during the incoming tide and crush them in the second spot later during the outgoing tide. It is also interesting how they never took poppers in one spot, but crush them in the other.

Great video mate, thank you very much! quick question, i have been fishing 40lb braid and leader for both plastics and HB's - do you think Jack's are influenced by leader size like bream for example? Many thanks

@mylurebox 4 года назад

Hi Stan. I reckon they are mate. They very rarely if ever get caught in nets which says a lot about their behaviour too. I usually run 20lb in clearer water. In the dirty stuff it’s not so much of an issue. Sometimes you need the heavy line to pull em clear of the cover though eh

@debbiemyers8589 4 года назад

Hey john I have noticed yourself and many others use primarily baitcasters for chasing jacks, are they a better option? I personally have never used a baitcaster always use a spinning reel and and an alvey for the beach. Would you recommend trying out a baitcaster combo or just stick with my spinning combos? What set up would you recommend? Thanks

@zanderwhite7364 10 месяцев назад

Good question aye was wondering the same thing

@upsidedahead 4 года назад

Hiya bro. Very informative video. Thanks. I have a question, but it's off topic Just wondering if you had any recommendations of a trolling battery. I'm running a 45lb minn Kota electric motor (old town predator kayak minn kota set up). Any advice would be welcome. Thanks mate. Luc (northern NSW)

@mylurebox 4 года назад

Hi bro. My advice isn’t run of the mill on this. So it’d be worth talking with someone in the know. I don’t run deep AGM cycle batteries. They’re way too expensive for mine. I get second hbd truck batteries from boys who have to exchange em out and add in some inox battery conditioner and run them. I don’t run em down past 1/3 in a session and top charge em back up straight away. It works for me and us saved me a time of cash over the years cause I’ve got 5 or 6 at any one time. The best way to go now would probably be a 50-100 ah lithium battery set up though to be fair. As long as it’s reasonable price. Last for ages apparently.

@aussiecue 4 года назад

Hey Mate, Ive started to practice this Skip casting and Ive come up against a problem. I get over run if I don't thumb the spool as soon as the plastic first hits the water. Allowing it to skip a few feet means I cant thumb until it's skipped and in the zone or aim point. To stop this I have to wind the spool break right up to a point where it will still cast but drastically shorter distance. I use a calcutta 101b running 20pnd braid on a shimano cranx Travel baitcaster 6'0" 6-10kg. Do you think it is correct to require more spool brake than what one would normally dial in?

@mylurebox 4 года назад

Hey mate. It definitely helps to feather the spool with your thumb to gently control it at the mat first moment of contact with the water. Having a lighter probably medium action or soft tip rod helps to load a skipping cast up. I’ll put another detailed video up in the coming weeks to nail down some more of the details around it. I run a 3-6kg rod. It’s a bit too light but good for that slinging action.

Hi John, I’m just getting into skip casting “ love your videos by the way”! I have grabbed a packet of the molix 4.5” and found they skip great. Just wondering if the 3.5” skip just as well before I order a couple of packets or if I’m better off sticking with the larger ones, thanks mate.

@mylurebox 4 года назад

Hey bro. I reckon the larger ones for sure if you’re using a baitcaster. If you’re running a spinning outfit then the smaller ones also will be ok. Not as easy but still worth having. Good luck mate ;) it’s a game changer once you dial it in. Changed the way I enjoy Summer that’s for sure

@markstanford7654 4 года назад

Yeah sweet, I’m running a bait caster so I’ll order some more of the 4.5”. Gave them a run New Year’s Day found was getting success on my skip straight away. Where I have been struggling away with the z mans D swimz for a wile just trying the odd skip here and there. However Molix is a huge game changer, Barra seemed to like them also as by catch! Is there any other plastics you find would suit someone starting out, similar casting abilities to molix?

For sure. Use Google maps to find bridges and pressure points or rock walls where they might sit and have a go. Live baits might be a short cut to work out where they frequent and then test out your lure game once you’ve found some likely spots
