Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- When you are fishing from the beach or rocks, you may need a rod rest. Graeme shows you how to save a bit of money and make your own fishing rod rest on the cheap. The first rod rest he makes is more of a rod holder for surf/beach fishing. The second one is a tripod type beach rest that is more suited to rock fishing but can be used to equal affect when beach fishing.

I'm 44 and have not sea fished since I was about 15,,,, thank you for these videos, watched loads lately to get up to speed so that I can take my kids fishing and have loved all these TA videos , a wealth of knowledge that will make me look like the best dad in the world, thank you,,,
Same story for me. I'm 60 and have not sea fished since I was about 15 as well. I grew up by the Thames and moved inland for work. I could never afford any decent fishing gear when growing up, now I have money and have returned to the Thames area, but refuse to pay £60 for a rod rest!!!! Great videos indeed. (Never grow up by a river, no matter where you go it will never leave you, ask any salmon!! )
Hi Graeme, great video as always.
When you make the hole for the reel foot in the rod holder.
Use a drill of suitable size and then cut out the straight pieces with the saw for a nicer result and less sanding.
I still have my bi-pod rest that I made about 40 years ago in the back of the car. Two four foot lengths of 1" x 3/4" pine, one bolt, two washers and a wing nut. Varnished and with my name and a fish species measure etched on in ballpoint. I never got around to adding a third leg. Vintage.
There's another way of spiking the end too, heat the first six or eight inches of the tube with a heat gun and when it goes soft squeeze the end tightly with the vice! { This softened end will be hot enough to burn you so be careful }, when it's cool just saw a point shape and Bob's your uncle! I used this method when I made my rabbit drop net poles for my longnets! I'm an old guy too, but still know a trick or two! I love you and your boy, Graeme, in a very manly and brotherly sort of way I hasten to add :-D and totally lap up your vids whenever I can. I used to enjoy my fishing and rabbit catching, but hung up my nets when my wife became ill several years back and needed a lot more looking after! I have a rabbit drop trap up at the local allotments and I'm never short of a bunny or two in the freezer! I still night fish locally on the odd occasion when my granddaughter stays over! Some lady asked me once if there were any fish about around the entrance of Brighton Marina? I said 'oh yes, in fact only the other day I saw a dogfish chasing a catfish around the marina entrance'!
Thank you from Palm Coast USA. Love the dancing fish.
Great practical examples! I shall rummage in my garage and see what I can knock together.
i guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?
@Leo Amari Flixportal :D
@William Derrick Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it!!
@Leo Amari glad I could help xD
did the same then warmed it and flatten it great job keep it going cheers
I was looking for a video like this the other day and couldn't find one, gutted!
Great video. Just a thought but if you start the notch by drilling a hole the minimum size for the reel and then cut it so that it gradually widens towards the end so that it will accommodate a larger reel then you will eliminate any rotation as the rod will settle until the reel is snug. Hope that makes sense.
Brilliant this video graeme
This man is different gravy 😂 👌
Great Vid.........the Barry Bucknell of TAF!!
Awesome as always. The rock 1 looks good enough for the beach aswell to me :)
You are a cool guy!! Thanks for saving me loads of 💰 👍🏻
Perfect, thank you.
You could use a grinder with a cutting disc. Had a big smooth hound dog fish on Hythe Kent beach. Nearly lost my rod pulled it straight out the rod rest. Not bad for the first ever fish I have caught. 😊
great fun, cheers Graeme
Thanks for that.
Excellent video!!!
Love the British humor.
Legend!
"Sweet as a nut. Where does it end? What a man."
Why don't you attach the third leg of the tripod to the pivot bolt in the middle which would help with stability.
Good for sand beach. I simply bend up a piece of 1/2" rebar, and I'm done. You can pound rebar into hard dirt .
little tip, when doing the notch drill a hole the same size as the width your going to cut and then cut down to it so it gives you a U shape if you know what i mean ;)
Keep up the great work guys
You need more Light in your workshop.
Please design some rod rest for the uneven rock surface area
Man, I can feel your pain:). Fishing for 10 days without fish and I dont have a workshop...Nice video. Do you target seithe (coal fish) sometimes?
is it just me or does Graeme always go a bit mad at this time of the year :) thanks btw
+Shane Wickham You are right there,as I hate the cold,wet,windy,icy,sleet driven,water freezing,nut cracking, hail smacked, frost bitten,snow bound , road jammed,fog bound ,miserable freaking British winter weather. I mean....what is it for ? What's the point of it ? So I hibernate in the garage and workshop between fishing trips ,trying to stay sane. Yeah...well... that's obviously not working...but still good fun.
+TAFishing hahahaha:) your a legend you just made my day
TA Fishing The shit weather is to make the good weather that much more enjoyable =)
I wish you'd been my Dad.
Timothy Mallinson Me to and I'm nearly 30 😁
Graeme is just so funny😅
Is it 2" pipe or 1.5..!! Thanks
is there much difference between a carp rod and your beach rod?
im not from the uk, could someone explain this please?
Beach rods tend to be firmer. Sometimes longer, also they withstand salt better than a freshwater rod
+Daniel Callaghan thanks dan.
i live in aus and i do alot of pier fishing, in rough weather like 30-40 knots fishing for a fish we call snapper. and im looking to get a setup that will cast 5ounce comfortably (usually 3-4 ounce)
but the Australian market has very little options for a fairly cheap price
but it looks like the english market has a few options :)
+jacob green Beach/surf rods are much stronger than carp rods as they have to cast leads up to 7 ounces. Carp rods cast up to 3 ounces as an average.
Awesome!! What happened to your thumb?? looks painful.
+djAtomicTS Piece of wood fell on it...probably pallet wood !!
Awesome
top man
jeeze greame what did you do to your thumb?
+David Woodward Probably shut it in my wallet which has a powerful spring catch.
+TAFishing haha!!!....check this out for daft.Tying a tuck blood i slipped my thumb nail pulling the coils down while holding the hook and stuck a 5/0 past the barb into my index finger.i had to cut the shank and push it all the way through till it popped out the other side!!i turned the color of boiled shite with cold sweats to boot doing that!!haha...guess youre not a fisherman till youve hooked yourself!!
That’s a lot of WD40!
first comment... and i like it
what reel is that
idk man. But if you like those colors check out some abu Garcia reels or the Penn Fierce 8000 II or 6000 II
hey mate, thats an Akios Scora reel.
Ian Frost thanks bro😀😀😀
DID YOU HIT YOUR LITTLE FINGER. HUN.
just weld one from stainless steel
Yes this is easier faster and cheaper then to do it with a pvc pipe and a saw
