Ok, totally hooked on this channel now mate. Not that you didn’t have me already but I am really looking forward to your next few! BTW, pretty admirable of you not to get a shitty liver with your negative viewers. Well done champ!
Theres a special place in heaven for youtubers who time stamp their videos, great content, and its good to see when other soft plastics besides zman get mentioned as sometimes you just want to try new brands for the sake of it, even if zman is my go to
Byron, your channel is by far one of the best fishing channels on RU-vid. The info you give is unmatched and has helped my fishing heaps. I don't always catch fish every session but I recently bagged a PB bream on a soft plastic (30cm!) - haha stoked with it. I 100% agree with the "go slow on the creature baits" when you start. I lost 2 cranka very quickly around structure by casting in the wrong areas (need to hone in on that accuracy) and they aren't cheap!! Soft plastics are by far the best to learn on or a slow rolling crank (for up in NSW). Appreciated the callout to Z-Man and sorry to hear about the conflict there (Daiwa is also a terrific brand on so many levels). Keep the outstanding content coming, mate.
Really taken back by how high quality this video is, the editing and overlays are top notch. Just one bit of feedback, if you had a nice mic this channel would be unstoppable. (I know this comment is 3 years late but thought I’d comment anyway) ❤
Just come across lure fishing and your channel. Mate, you're a legend. What a way to handle a dispute. With a smile and respect. Subscribed. World needs more of that mindset mate!
I absolutely love these videos, such high quality content and really informative! I was meant to pick up my new hobie all fitted out Today but that's now delayed because of lockdown :/ These vids are keeping my spirits up and get me excited to fish when I can eventually get it! Cheers man
What you talk about from 0:50 to around 1:30 is so respectable. I have new reels, old reels, and everything inbetween; I hate seeing the videos of people showing brand new rods saying they are the best ever made and to go buy them ASAP. One of my favourite rod lineups are the Abu Garcia Discovery II's; I have 2 of them and they are absolutely insane to use. Just because they are old doesn't mean they aren't perfect.
Fair points, I personally enjoyed starting out and learning with crank baits, just the direct feedback verses soft plastics, also taught me how to slow down.
@@ByronTeaHill 100% agree, my first two were cranks and top water, worth taking two rods with you when starting out for each method as well, obviously depends on affordability
Loving the educational series! I started on plastics and crank baits but I am absolutely loving the topwater lately with the bass I’ve been chasing and really want to start on bream too! I’ve got a lot to learn about that style so I can’t wait for that vid to be up.
God dam one of the best channels so well put together. I'd love to see a king fish video not sure if you get them around your area but I'd love more info on them.
Just got to say you are one of the best teachers on here man 😊 live the way you explain stuff me and a mate are speechless on your examples and the way you explain so perfectly ❤
Great video helped alot with my selection just brought my first boat and people like you help to make it easy thanks for your channel and thanks for sharing your wisdom cheers
Finally found a grounded good Aussie, all I see is bass this bass that, Finally some good old bream sitting on deck with ideas on how to get them to boot! Awesome stuff mate thanks.
a few weeks ago i got a 41cm redfin on a beetle spin with a rubber bait with a Berkeley jig head but you can use any type of jig head you like with a beetle spin . it turns a sanded jig into a spinner bait
@Byron, love the plan for the series. Sounds like you read my mind as my new year's resolution is to be able to catch fish consistently on lures so I can leave the bait at home. The amount of content and gear out there is overwhelming for the beginner. Also, we are all so time poor it's hard to dedicate the hours needed to learn on the job. I think with your instructive style there's an opportunity for you to create the definitive how-to guide for Aussies new to lure fishing.
I really got into it when a maté introduced me to fresh water. Got me straight into salt water and estuary. The best thing was the response from people saying wow! Great job for a lure 😂 Making the surface explode with top water lures with other fisherman around is great. Pike are awesome practice for top water. They seem to like it when the lure is at its most suffering state 😂
As always you deliver a presentation that will enhance a fishos knowledge next time they go fishing I am just starting to use surface lures my go to lures when my confidence is dwindling ecogear zx 35, MMD smash prawn and Daiwa Bait Junkie.
Alan! Thanks very much for the compliment mate. The transfer of knowledge is key to the channel. Sometimes it can be a little flat, so we need to keep it engaging! Thanks again
Love your videos. Super educational. I've just started a kayak fishing channel and about to get into some comps over in the west and I'm hooked on your vids to learn more, especially river / lake fishing which I've got no clue about. Awesome work.
@@ByronTeaHill would be keen to see what situations you would pick a particular kind of lure over another..and what makes that decision, fish behaviour, weather terrain ect
Bargain bin at tackle shops, you can normally get loads of decent soft plastics even in the brands you mentioned at basement price. Great for trying different styles and not breaking the bank.
Hey buddy I would like to know where you got your workbench/ station you have in the background with all your gear looks very well organised and I would like to make something very similar
hi from sydney mate i want to fish for Australian freshwater bass what lure do u recommend plus what was the iol in the jar for the soft lure keep them coming mate be safe tight lines
I’m looking to get into lure fishing. Thinking of getting the x rap long cast shallow or x rap long cast for rock/beach fishing. Would you recommend that lure? I’m from Sydney and central coast area.
im thinking of buying a soft vibe for mulloway, so when i cast out my livie, i can also flick the lure. Do you reccomend a zerek, samaki vibeliocious or squidtrex vibe? which one is top?
I'm curious. Did Z-Man have a go at you directly? I follow them on insta and did notice they were recently spruiking how good they are compared to other newly release products. They never named Daiwa but it was obvious who they were talking about
Hey mate will a Daiwa Infeet Base 1-4kg handle some Australian Salmon and some small kings?Also,what leader do I use to safely land some big flathead,salmon or rat king
I have tones on plastics and vibes and swimbaits for flathead and I’m lucky to catch 1 and people around me with the same stuff catching heaps of flattys and I’m doing the same thing they say u need to feel for bites I can’t feel anything even with the same gear and setup help me bro I am lucky to catch 1 flatty after 9 hours on the water it’s fkn bullshit I can’t feel bites no matter my rod or setup help me how do I feel bites or strikes when flatty fishing
