Great demo...also shrimp swim backwards which you rig does right.90 % of the time peeps rig and use shrimp imitation lures that tavel the wrong way around
I just caught a bunch of them in Florida using just golden castmaster !! Shore fishing ! They didn’t bite anything but the castmaster , with 30 pound leader
Diamond Jig with 5 #2 gold hooks tied 6" apart on 20# fluoro will give you multiple Spanish at a time. Used on east and west coast of FL, SC, and NC Locals look at you like you're crazy and then they watch you slay them. Been fishing Spanish for longer than these boys have been alive.
Yes in a massive school the wire works great and you don’t have to worry about that 10% chance of getting cut off. But in areas where the schools are smaller (like in Bonita beach) and less competition I like to use 40 lbs flouro. Typically get more strikes with the flouro vs the wire. Almost never get cut off except if there are blues mixed in with the macs. I find sw Florida has smaller pockets of macs but they are here year round. Verses the east coast like dania, Florida where the massive schools come in the colder months.
funny you mention this because I fish treble for toothy fish and go with light mono or fluoro @ 20#. I do get cut off sometimes by mackerel but not after i've got several to show for it. On the other hand if I'm fishing a single hook spoon or jig i beef up to 25 or 30# pink mono or fluoro because i will get cut off several times by mackerel before i land one. Snook will sometimes break me off if i'm running on my 2500. I will definitely go with #3 wire and see how this work on my single hook rigs because i've come close to catching treble hooks in my hand 1 to many times when they mostly are stuck to the fishes body & not in their mouth.
@@patrickharris4641 i agree with you . i've been on the skyway when the spanish mackerel are blitzing & switch over to wire & not get a swipe. Go back to 25# & get cut 9 out of 10 times by mackerel. I did move up to 50# mono for bluefish but i didn't think it would work with the mackerel. I'll have to try that 50# as well as the small diameter wire as i have both . Thanks for the tip.
We have some big spanish and without wire you will lose more than you catch, along with your $5 lure. Small single strand wire will get just as many strikes in most conditions with a lot more fish in the box.
God i hope i don't get reincarnated as a shrimp in the hands of that guy. Can you imagine being hooked forward backwards And sideways with in 2 min before being tossed back into the water. LOL! Seriously though. Can Z-man or other shrimp lures be threaded onto a hook backwards and still maintain a normal presentation & remain arrow dynamic when casting ??
This is really informative. Can't wait to try it out next time
Great information for a beginner like myself who is new to fishing for mackerel....thanks!
I’m so ready for fishing ! Just waiting on the knee to heal up ! Thanks for sharing this, you taught me something new ! Of course y’all always do 🎣😎
What happened to your knee? You could crutch it to the water! :)
Great info. Especially the rigging the shrimp on the jighead.

Great professional rig. Nice knots. Thanks for sharing 👍
Ah ha! I have been putting my shrimp in backwards. Going to try putting it in the way you demonstrated. Thanks!

Thanks for making time to leave the helpful comment Joseph!
This is the common way of doing it in Japan as well.
Great info! Hard to see the actual tying but I’ll figure it out! 😎🎣🎣
Superb demo! THANKS!
Great tips i will have to try the way you rig your shrimp there 👍
What kind of pliers did he use? Nice.
Love that diawa bag ! I am a diawa freak lol
Very informative. Thank you!
Nice tutorial, great job!!

So you use single strand wire on a open face?? What size wire and how do you tie it on the reel
You'll find what you're looking for right here: www.saltstrong.com/articles/ultimate-spanish-mackerel-rig/
Can you troll any spoon or is it limited to drone spoons and Clarke spoon.
I always just troll with a size 1 planer board and a clarkspoon
If you’re fishing a spoon or maybe a gotcha for mackerel, should you or could you use a wire leader on those artificial lures as well?

I personally don't use wire. I feel like I get more bites. I've never been bit off at 50 lb fluoro and had very little fraying

What size Clark Spoons do you recommend for Spanish Mackerel ?
Thank you
Great video
I have looked all over for this type of wire, can someone please direct me to where I can purchase some like this!
Ace hardware has it in the fishing section south west Florida
Where would you start your day for Spanish?
Why is the dude doing the rigging set to right earbud and you set to the left earbud
Salute!
Can you fishing in Oregon
a man this is mike
That shrimp is a payed actor
It’s spelled paid
What pound test is the wire I'm looking on amazon ?
3 to 4 lb of wire is my favorite. some larger sharks can break off but, hey its a 10 lb reel set anyways.
It is a number 3 or 4 which is 32 or 38 lb test
Isn't that an Alberto knot, rather than a Albright knot?
Ted Haas names dont really matter

Hahahaha! Love it.
That was funny!
If your using that size jig you must be catching rat size spaniards, we use split tail Mullet here and get on to 45 kg beasts
We troll 6-7mph for Spanish mackerel. 1" planers with a silver or gold spoon.
Thanks for sharing!
👍
chum lol
