I team up with Squirly from @chummingup3524 on a mission to go and catch the strongest fish in the ocean on a Handline. We go out of Exmouth Western Australia fishing for the blue marlin and are lucky enough to get one. The video is only short as there is only 2 of us on the boat so makes it hard to fish and film. Hope you enjoy

    Have you a colour preference in your experiences Leigh.

    • @Leighmitchell001
      @Leighmitchell001 15 днів тому

      Usually when I fish surface lures I like dark colours but in the case of paddler style like the tremor I don’t think it matters as they make a lot of commotion any way. Just remember when you pick a surface lure colour they only see the colour on the bottom of it anyway

    • @Leighmitchell001
      @Leighmitchell001 15 днів тому

      Hey mate I really like them for rivers particularly if there is good flow. I only use them with the paddler bib. As far as paddlers go you can run them the faster without them blowing out compared to other paddlers and I like to fish fast especially when river flow is fast and your casting between snags. Also they are one of the best casting lures on the market and go far and straight landing with fouling up less than most other surface paddlers which is important not all lures cast acutely and zig zag through the air. I also like that replacement bibs are easy to buy and attach because it doesn’t matter what paddler you use if you use it enough you will break it. And of course they get bites and having confidence in what your using is massive especially cod fishing. There a things that arnt my favourite about them. The hooks are really good but the split rings are average and straighten a bit on most my bigger fish. I actually don’t like the light and vibration thing as is gets stuck on sometimes and gives me the shits with the noise in the boat. I prefer them once they’re flat. Obviously they are expensive (I’m not sponsored in away way from them and have to by my own) at $100 a pop. In saying that if I’m going to spend a whole day casting a lure I’d rather have the one I want tied on as I think my day is worth more than the $100 to me. Most the ones I’ve totally broke were cast hard into trees so that was my fault. I’ve had one other than the one in this video break from “nothing” and it snapped its tow eyelet off but that was after like a years use and had already caught me a metery in the past so it was more so used to death. In all I will continue to use them I have confidence in them and think they are a pretty decent product. Thanks

      Yea mate I’ve used most all the surface paddlers that are targeted towards cod on the market. The balista tremor does have 2 features I like and that is the replacement bibs are easy to use as I’ve broken bibs on most all paddler types and the main thing I like is I can burn them really fast and they hold in and still work were most the others blow out at speed. But yea I’ve broken/had them brake on my fair share of them too

      Hey mate. I pretty much give anything a go as it comes to braid. My favourite at the moment would be j-braid x8 and I’ve recently spooled one of my swimbait outfits with the new j-braid x8 expedition and it’s definitely a lot thinner diameter than the original and feels nice to cast.

Bit of advice for you chasing cod, when surface popping, set another rod with a spinner bait our sinking lure, When you miss the book and he won’t come back hit the are with the spinner bait or sinking lure

    Great video well done! Very solid fish! Cool seeing the fish on side imaging.Must be a different type of river to what I'm used too to not have many snags.I agree totally with what you said about having the spotlights on the boat, people say you can't see anything, you can see trees in front of you and floating logs it just looks like you can't see anything if there is only water in front of you, i fish until dark at Dartmouth and then i go full send across the lake back to the boatramp which could be 20km away i have got gps trails marked and the lights show up trees if they are in front.The last hour of fishing can turn an unsuccessful into a successful one.I reckon the bearings on that reel you were casting the surface lures on sounds a bit dry, i just had the same issue, looked up "how to lubricate a baitcast reel" on You tube, plenty of videos on it, they all say a similar thing so i did that (it was pretty easy you don't have to pull the whole reel apart)and now it works as good as new, it's got the DC reel zing back! Love the hair looks Rock Star! Keep up the good work.
