My buddy learned the hard way.... *snap*

the 5000 and the 6000 weight the same the difference is that the 6000 has better line capacity and a lower gear ratio

go for the 6000 all day

22lbs

Really? Even some of the pros/masters like spinners. I think it's like a 50/50 split between spinner and conventional. They have some spinners capable of handling most any fish you would hook on a jig. I found that conventional reel was just too tedious for me to thumb on the drop. Thumbing the line was required to prevent the spool from bird nesting or letting line out so fast it would overlap/jump. None of those problems with a spinner. Yes a spinner + like a $150-200 jigging rod will suffice to get you into the jigging world. The jigging rod has that slim butt that allows you to tuck it or handle it easily.

Believe he was using an 8000, he later switched to a 6000 though after using both. 20K would only serve you well for like 100+lb fish. For 20-50lb fish I would suggest a 6K. 50-100lb I would do 14K, and 100+ I would go to a 20K like you suggest. Depends on what you plan on catching. Jigging is very repetitious though, and each extra ounce weighs on you... so only get what you need for what you will be targeting. Lightest you can get away with is the best.

@@CrazyLocoFishing Awesome thanks for the advice 🤙🏼

I use a 6000 on a pe3 rod which works fine. I sometimes have to get the 10000 out with a 50lb rod for bigger stuff. Im currently setting up another setup with a 18000 gosa on a pe6 rod for the big dogs! Will be using 99lb braid.

@@kizzjd9578 I have since picked up two Gosas - the 10K and the 18K and I couldn't be happier. The 10K went overboard out on the open ocean and I dove off the boat for it and retrieved it in about 15' of water. Opened her up when I got home and not a single drop of moisture inside. Beast of a reel.

@@miketexas4549 that’s awesome! Lucky that you found it!.

Okuma Hawaii Custom Slow pitch rod (Medium). PE 3-4, rated at 60-120g jigs (though I found it had good action with 200g jigs in the slow pitch variety).

90-250 feet are the usual depths, but they can be in super deep water. Pretty much anywhere past the reef in suspended balls in the water (not on the bottom).

Sorry I didn't see this comment until now. I have 300 yards (1000ft) of 30# power pro braid spooled onto the reel with a 15 foot fluorocarbon 40# leader. Never at risk of getting spooled. Worst thing that could happen is that you couldn't turn the fish and it would run you into the coral/bottom structure and break you off. That being said, I 100% would recommend the 6K. I'd say it could easily handle 40-50# class fish.

@@CrazyLocoFishing I echo your comments. I have a 10000 and just bought a 6000 because the 10000 is way too big for what I target (mostly). The 10000 is a beast of a reel that can be loaded up with anything from 50-80lb braid and will stop pretty much everything you throw at it but it's big and heavy and not ideal in the hand for long periods of time for something like jigging.

Super easy install. You just unscrew the knob and put some fitment washers in. It's a direct fit with the existing shaft.

Thanks for the kind words brother.

They sell these in Hawaii. Nice rod. If you are looking at a jigging rod for 1-50lb fish, I Would highly suggest a medium action. They seem flimsy, but they won't break.. Not only do they impart a better action on the slow pitch jigs, but they are more fun to fight a fish on.

Do you live on Oahu?

@@CrazyLocoFishing yup I live on oahu. Charlie's? JHara?

@@wong2a9 I bought at POP Fishing and Marine on Pier 38

Thanks for the shout out brother. Live baiting I run stiff rods, but the jigging I go super light, ha!

Thanks man. Appreciate the shout out. How's the fishing in South Florida, what do you catch mostly? How far offshore do you need to go to get to the fish?

@@CrazyLocoFishing the fishing here is pretty. On average it’s a 1 1/2 to 2 mile pedal to get to the drop off. Down here we get a lot of king mackerel. That’s the common target for yak guys. Spring brings a black fin tuna run. They usually get to around 30 pounds tops. Beyond that is a stud lol. Mahi and sail fish are les frequent then kings but common. Biggest draw back is the amount of boat traffic out here. It’s insane !

@@pitbullbred305 Nice. I need to visit South Florida to fish when I move back mainland. I've fished the Panhandle, which is also fun. But not yet south florida. I'll keep watching the content you're putting out, keep up the good work brother.

@@CrazyLocoFishing thank you for the kind words my friend. Tight lines and safe yakin my bro

Hey Kelly, we fish on Oahu. My dad flipped the Hobie Compass. The chair is higher in the compass and it has a higher center of gravity. We just installed some side stabilizer (Ama's) for him for better stability. The Revolution and Outback have lower center of gravity, making flip less likely.. but still possible. Best way to prevent would probably be those side stabilizer (Ama's). Are you going to be car topping your kayak or putting in the bed of a truck? There is a significant weight difference in the options.

@@CrazyLocoFishing Mahalo for replying! I am thinking a Hobie Pro Angler 14' for myself or the Old Town Big Water pedal drive. Like you did for your Dad, i think I would get the Ama's like you suggested. This would be for me to fish out of Redondo Beach, CA...but with the ultimate plan of moving to Hawaii. My desire/fantasy is to move to the Big Island or Kauai. Blessings to you! Shazaam!

Haha you'd love it out on the water. I bet you'd go diving with the sharks ya crazy bastard.

Thanks! I try to make a new dish every time I catch a fish. Keep putting out good content, love watching your fishing adventures!

Me too!

Yeah he loves fishing. Bittersweet though. Double shibi day, next day flip n lose a lot of gear.

@@CrazyLocoFishing ahhhh, the ups and downs of fishing.

Thanks Dustin.

Oahu. I heard about the shark sinking a kayak on Maui 2 days ago.

​@@CrazyLocoFishing Yikes. Maui is getting a reputation. I'm moving to the west side of the Big Island early this summer. Enjoying your videos and hoping to get a good fishing kayak soon after I get there! Any suggestions on what to purchase? I've kayaked rivers mostly and I don't know anything about ocean kayaks. I'm 150lb so probably don't need anything massive. Do you think I'll find one on island or will need to get it shipped over from Oahu or the mainland? Again, thanks for sharing these videos!!

@@bob16That's awesome, you'll love the Big Island. It has some of the best fishing (low wind/consistently good weather + good quantity of fish). You should be able to pick up a used Hobie for a reasonable price already rigged up with a fish finder and some accessories. I would try kayak fishing with used gear before you determine if you want to upgrade to newer gear, as you can flip a used kayak with almost no depreciation if you don't like it. Let me know how it goes when you get out here, and ask any other questions you have. My rec is for a Hobie Revolution, Outback or Compass.

@@CrazyLocoFishing Great advice. I will be on the lookout! Thanks!

I need a go pro, I just have a hero 4 silver with the 52 piece set

Where are you fishing out of, are you on Hawaii?

@@CrazyLocoFishing Hilo puna area

@@jacobgreen6939I can't give a full, unbiased review as I haven't tried the Rib. I don't think catch rates would justify the extra price. If I was making the jump to the expense of a Rib, I would just go for a boat with a deeper hull that could handle some chop trolling at 7-10 knots. I think for cost effectiveness a kayak is a good initial rig and you can always sell it if you are dissatisfied for close to purchase price.

@@CrazyLocoFishing thanks dude. Tight lines.

I know right. I tried a noodle stick slow jig rod for live baiting just for fun, But I think I'll stick to stiffer rods for live baiting. That noodle rod will wrap all the way around the kayak, ha!

They were aggressive that day! Just glad they were only Galapagos.

Ha, I know you're absolutely right. Better taste to eat um just raw. Sometimes I sear just the outside in case of any possible contamination for peace of mind. Looking for my first AHI, one day. But the 40-50# shibi are a pretty good fight.

Thanks brother. Any day on the water is a good day. Better if we get a nice fish :)

Thanks True! Look forward to fishing with ya soon brother.

Haha, yep!

Fits perfectly :) when ya visiting?

Glad you could appreciate the reference, haha!

Thanks brother.

Wow, good to know. Thanks brother. For bigger fish I usually pull the drives as they approach the boat. Smaller fish I don't care too much about. And sharks I cut the line as soon as I see em.

Hahahahah. Maybe it's the radio. We'll only know after you jointly record next time!

@@CrazyLocoFishing I really need to get my act together and get some footage!

@@deventhompson8277 I'm here to provide the GoPro's or booms :P. Next time!

Thanks Dev.
