This still has a place and a signficant purpose. Not only that but you can setup multiple anchor rods and bounce around with your fighting rod without moving a bunch of stuff. This also gives the bait the ability to swim up and down versus the one way where they swim (or sink if it's dead) to the bottom and then that's it.
Thanks for the tutorial. Springmaid is my favorite pier. Glad it is back open. I only wish that they had not put so many benches along the rails. Especially at the tee. But hey nothing is perfect. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you buddy!! I'm right there with you and have let them know a couple times but it's not in their plans to remove them. Hopefully one day we'll have a true fishing T!
Yeah same here. I let them know last year. But what can you do. I plan to be down after Labor Day to fish for kings. I have never fished for them before due to being intimidated because it can be a tough crowd on the end of some of the piers in NC. But if appears there isn’t as much traffic on Springmaid. At least it wasn’t the last time I was there. Good luck.
Thank you Springmaid is a good place to learn thats where I'm doing my learning! As intimidating as they seem they're usually great people in my experience.
@@CarolinaShoreFishing What sort of gear are you using. I have Shimano TLD20’s with 6’6” Ugly Stik BWB30 rods. I still have a few things to pick up like a gaff hook. But, I’m getting there.
I use the clothes pin method but i go through both sides so as to keep other peoples fighting lines from getting caught up in the v part of the pin when a king takes off.
I would love to see how you actually set this rig up to your fishing rod because I have no clue what you're talking about when you said one end attaches to the "anchor rod" and the other end attaches to the "mainline, fighting rod." Are there two fishing rods involving in this operation or is one of these "rods" is actually something else?
@@joaquinlopez997 I haven't had a chance yet but will hopefully explain it in a video soon. This video shows casting the anchor rod first and attaching the pop off. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HSbq7VBqYhs.html&ab_channel=CarolinaShoreFishing
It's just a visual component to see the popoff out in the distance. I've got rubber ducks I'm going to use instead of golf balls. Anything with color will work.
