Captain Dan, Morning! It's always good to have competition in any market. It keeps all the players on their toes to produce what customers want, not designers. I don't own the Shimano Ocena reel, but a few Daiwa Saltiga reels with the slow pitch handles. Allows applying muscle when required. I concur on purchasing a left hand reel, as most people are right hand dominate. I'm sure that GOMEXUS is producing a quality reel for the price point. Looked up the pricing for a 80W trolling reel, less than half the price of a Shimano or Penn International in the same size. You need to start a "rock fish" collection. Takes up less space than a wall mounted fish and a conversation maker. Just leave in some bromide for a week or so to kill whatever might be hiding inside .
Have you had any issues with the braid slipping between the spool and the cage? I have a couple of the LX50 models and it happens all the time. It drives me crazy!
You are the king of catching rock fish Dan 🤣🤣🤣 You forgot to show the handle you prefer (ahem) 😆 Thanks for the info on Gomexus. I'm looking around for offshore tackle and they might just fit the bill. Cheers mon 🤙
We left the little no in the description box if you want to order direct. I talked to them about the handle. I like the one on the 450 SX and yes, I am the king of Rockfish!! 😂🤣😂
Yes, they have a right hand version as well. That is the one we will be giving away during our next livestream. Don’t forget to enter to win or join the channel to get 10 automatic entries.
Hey captain.. Nathan here from Philippines.. i would like to say thank u for making a review about fishing gears that are budget friendly yet so tough and reliable.. i actually bought a goofish rod bcoz of your video about it... you make a very fair review...i will defnitely buy that gomexuz reel... thank you.. Fish On..!!!! 🤙🇵🇭
Hello from Panama City Beach! After watching all your videos I'm hopefully going to be getting a Goofish and Gomexus setup for Fathers day. I was wondering what knot do you use to tie your braid to your leader for these goofish rods? I know the eye loops are small. Also, How have the eye loops on the Goofish rods held up after a few years of the knots running through them?
Congratulations on getting a SPJ setup! I haven’t had any problems with the Goofish rods at all and the Fuji guides are great. Here is the simple FG knot I use to go through the guides: ua-cam.com/video/3TH-qhC3ccg/v-deo.htmlsi=wU7cWhcjQiQNahPo
Live from near NY,would you settle for a Long Island Captain Keith ? That first fish is a keeper Captain Dan, it shows you braved the shark-infested waters we have !
When you weren't looking, various sharks coated the bottom of your boat so that where-ever you stop to fish, sharks will sniff you and come to leave you with another Shark-bitten fish just as a reminder they are waiting for you ! 😀
Brother's boat still being worked on thecguy wants to give it a test run weather starting to warm up here in Indiana but raining most of week 🙋♂️👍❤️🙋♂️
@@jamesdavid1714 : Check out our website under “our gear”. You can pick one up for less than $200 and you can order a Goofish rod as well. Here is the link: floridafishingcouple.com/our-gear
Let me explain again take a small magnet size of a quarter even bigger as good. Take a hacksaw so you get to the center can go back to the same card get your hacksaw off when you touch your face slide it onto your line. Let it sit down to the fish no chocolate will come near a magnet will not lose any more fish.
Even the zombie fish hits the jig... Okay Elizabeth AKA Queen Bee, all work and no play makes something really bad , Soooo Get out and enjoy. All joking aside, Hope you guys are well and there's something, I don't know what it is but if something is not well then I hope it gets better soon. Take care of each other! Micky C
Hey guys! Great video Dan! I really like those reels. My buddy uses a Penn Fathom on his JJ rod. I want to get the same set up you have. That blue rod and reel pair nice together. Question on the rod. I'll be using a left hand reel like you, jig with my right arm. The direction of the spiral on the rod. The eyes, does it matter? Thanks for the content brother! Tight lines!
People really need to stop with safety stuff. We get it. Bad things happen. There are very few boating accidents compared to just taking the kids to school. You just remember boating stuff because it's news. Hope I didn't come of mean, I really don't mean it like that.
Thank you so much for your sincere concern and for commenting. Elizabeth gets upset with me whenever she edits the video and sees me without a PDF life jacket especially when I fish solo. What you don’t see is the PDF slung over the rod holder behind the Captains seat. If the weather changes and it gets rough out I will grab it and put it on right away. Thank you for “Following Us!” And for watching out! ❤
See I don’t see anyone doing what I’m about to explain to you take a small donut magnet about the size of a quarter. Saw a very thin piece right to the center leaving you room to put your put it on when you hook that fish what’s the sink? Let it go down like a sinker with your wine guarding it no shock go near the fish that you have all explain this correctly to youworks perfectly anymore. You have asked me.

I LOVE the rock mount idea!! 🤣😂😀
Dan and Elizabeth I just joined your monthly club. Love your videos. They make me feel like I'm there. Tight lines my friends !!!!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for being a member GMan!!
I still use the one I got on your giveaway!!!
That’s awesome!! Send us a pic or 2 of you using the reel and we will put it in our next video!
Have you had any issues with the braid slipping between the spool and the cage? I have a couple of the LX50 models and it happens all the time. It drives me crazy!
I always lay down one wrap of electrical tape around the spool before lining the reel. Stops the “slip”.
Awesome video Captain Dan!!! Those reels are so nice!!!!
They are! Thanks for the comment. Back to fishing videos next week!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
As always, Thanks for watching Stan. Back to fishing videos next week!
You are the king of catching rock fish Dan 🤣🤣🤣
You forgot to show the handle you prefer (ahem) 😆

The captain that you guys went with in marathon needs some Xanax 😆 🤣
Hahaha! We will be putting out our version of that video next week. Good times.
a lot of confusion for a boat captain BUT you got the big a** fish
Elizabeth’s FIRST swordfish! 💪
Another great Video Captain Dan I will be down staying in Key Colony
We have seen a lot of people staying in Key Colony. Easy way to get to the fishing grounds from there.
What rod where you using in this video?
Goofish blue. Awesome SPJ rods.
Hey Mr. Dan. What rods are you using with these reels?? Thank you sir
In this case I am using a Goofish Blue rod. You can find them on our website or by clicking here: floridafishingcouple.com/our-gear
I am using the GooFish Blue rod. You can find it on our website by clicking here: floridafishingcouple.com/our-gear
What rod are you using Captain Dan?
I was using the Goofish blue rod.
Do you notice a difference with a left-hand retrieve reel with spiral guides?
I definitely like the left handed retrieve better with the acid wrapped guides.
Does it come in a righty?? The reel looks and works great,smooooth!!!
they do.... same shimano both version not sure if they come in different gear ranges thou like ocea jigger does
Yes, they have a right hand version as well. That is the one we will be giving away during our next livestream. Don’t forget to enter to win or join the channel to get 10 automatic entries.
Definitely will try my luck!
Good luck!
What is the rod storage on the underneath side of your T top? Is that after market? I also have a Nauticstar
They are suction cup rod holders made really for fly rods but work great on the boat.

@@FloridaFishingCouple Thank you so much !

Ha! Been losing more and more fish to sharks lately.

Weather is trying to get better here. Hoping the winds calm down this coming week.
Dan love your fashion sense your shirt rod and reel match perfectly😂😂
I’m a GQ fisherman! 😂🤣😂
Never try it before, but if I win, that will be a treat for me to try it out!
Good luck!! Don’t forget to enter!
The gomexus looks like a solid reel!
I have had great success with that reel.
@@FloridaFishingCouple I gotta pick one up myself! I'm getting into jigging and gomexus seems to be a really popular option

I’m sorry George, but I’m still not clear on what you mean here. Please clarify.
Even the zombie fish hits the jig...

That zombie fish fought for his life before Mr. Shark came over and slammed him!
@@FloridaFishingCouple Best wishes for you guys. Please love on and take care of each other, tomorrow is never promised.

That is a nice reel for sure! I wonder how to enroll in for the giveaway?

Hey Dan, had tile fish for the first time about a week ago, you should have kept that fish... LOL.. Mr. Just a Comment.
I have been told they are very tasty. Maybe next time. 😋
Hi Dan, Nice Reel 🎣
Are you at the Islamorada Humps 🤔
You mean during the video?

Thanks for watching and commenting! The rod is a GooFish blue and the spiral should go right if you have a left handle. It’s a great setup, enjoy!
Listen brother, I like gomexus reels but don’t ever compare the to the ocea jigger again😅 the ocea jigger only cost $400🤷♂️
Check the video. $529.00 At West Marine.
Ok Dan your by yourself fishing no tether no life jacket what if something happened to you?
People really need to stop with safety stuff. We get it. Bad things happen. There are very few boating accidents compared to just taking the kids to school. You just remember boating stuff because it's news. Hope I didn't come of mean, I really don't mean it like that.
