This is easily the most informative video for a beginner to fish in Hawaii. Great job
Mahalo!
Cheeeehoooooo!!! Mahalo.
Dooosh🤙💙
Moving to Hilo in a month for 4 months! I am so glad I found your page. Amazing content. I’m from the Midwest and have grown up using completely different rigs. Can’t wait to drop a line off the big island.
Mahalo
Probably the most liked comment on our fishing channel of all time 🤙🎣💪
to improve your rig, put a small bead in between the lead and barrel swivel so that when the lead bounces on the swivel it doesn't damage it
Howzit guys interested in da menpachi so u folks used shrimp as bait and floatet rig.
Hope you catch some nice ones 🎣
Did you use your regular line for the leader line?
In this video yes just to show how to rig it. But typically we use floro for leaders.
Great video. What lb line is best on the reel and leader?
Ey howzit! My papa fished every day and hes gone now and I been trying to figure out how to carry on his legacy w all of his poles and tackle I inherited
tied my 1st fishermans knot tonight! get all da stuff in garage and going try fishing next week all thanks to you guys
Dude awesome mahalo for sharing! Hope you hook up man, be sure to let me know how it goes! If you get any questions let us know!
Brah DID UM @@ShakaFishing
Went Kihei side and caught a small kumu. Threw him back since was like 4 inches but was real nice to finally get out and do it. Had choke fun. TY again!
I am in the same boat!!!
Dude this is awesome to know. Huge mahalo for shareing @gekko pls
Wanted to ask, Kapono, how did you learn all the hawaiian names for fish? 🐠🐟 super impressive! I'm asking because I really wanna learn!! Help a sister out?
Way awesome info. Visiting Kauai this week and gonna try these. Can u show the light that you use on the bobber? Link would be good to. Thanks guys
That will work. Look for the lights to put on your bobber so you can keep track of it in the water at night
Excellent video guys. It's the little things that make all the difference. You covered the details really well.
Mahalo nui loa! Good to hear, we were hoping to get everything down that someone might need to know.
aloha bro, just came across your videos.. just wondering what size hooks to use for whipping?
Do you ever pre make rigs and how would you store them without tangling? Thanks 🙏🏼
Yes I like to pre make rigs it saves a ton of time while your out fishing. A good thing to use is a chunk of cardboard you can wrap the line around the cardboard. There are a ton of videos out there on premade rigs. Goodluck
After you secure the rig to the cardboard I store them in separate ziplock bags to prevent tangles and moisture from getting to the cardboard rigs.
you dont need 13ft rod to whip with 12ft leader...for halalu and akule i use a hmx 7 6 light action rod and 12 to 15 leader
Thank you very much. Great dudes to give us some tips! I will take my son with some greater results now!
I'll be in Oahu in a week (October). Can you guys give me some tips for inshore fishing? What should I be targeting and what baits? Any general areas that are better than others in October?
My two go to setups, but nice to know what # line you use and size hooks etc. moved to Waimea from kohala over a year ago and barely go fishing anymore. Ocean is too far and I dont have any fishing partners. Once we turned 19ish my friends changed there hobby to drinking instead of fishing.
Mahalo …
Yessah 🤙
Excellent video! Loved the detailed description that you guys do. Can’t wait to get out and try a whipping rig of my own. Thank you!
Really good info, thank you
Thanks for this just caught my first Guam Trevally after watching your whipping rig setup!!
great tips Braddahs, wish i knew this info before my last trip to HI. gonna put that knowledge to good use next time, hopefully slay more than one wrasse. keep up the great work!
Thanks my man! Cant wait for you to come visit! Try the Big Island, way more to do here ;D
Doooshhh!!! Sup ish
@@dannydhall5379 sup danny! back in HI?
Awesome video guys. the wife and I are going to Maui in a couple weeks for a much needed vacation and I'm bringing a couple rigs with me to fish from the shore. After watching your vids I'm super stoked to get out on the shores. Been fishing freshwater for years but never thrown lines in the salt. Can't wait. What kind of retrieval techniques do you use for these rigs? Mahalo! keep the vids coming!
Patrick Woods definitely go with the bobber technique with a little shrimp or squid. Cast it out let it sit until you get bites as you get bites reel in the slack line very slowly until your bobber goes under the water once it does set the hook either the fish will get hooked or the bait will fall off so reel in after trying to set the hook because you might need to bait the hook again. good luck! (:
Great advice right here. Make sure to look into the regulations for maui the legal size are on that island. Snap those barbs if you would too ;D Good luck!
You guys are legends. This is the most informative video I’ve found. Thanks
Yessah my bradda 🍻
Your a legend for having the name owen
Thank you sooo much for this video!
You are very welcome! Good luck on the water! DODOOSH
Thanks for the knowledge!!! I'll be in Maui in 1 month.
RIght on hope it goes well!! What part?
Shaka Fishing Ka'anapali
Have you ever tried a palmer knot? Give it a try I believe it’s a bit stronger then the fisherman knot and a bit easier to tie…..also great job on the video !
Is there a store on the island that sells flies like that? I know people say they're easy to make once you figure them out but I'd like to be able to buy some. Or maybe someone on the island sells them?
Thank you for this tutorial. Very detailed video ! Got a whipping pole for my birthday and didn't know how to set it up. Subscribing!
Mahalo for the support! Glad to have helped you out!
Mahalo! Exactly what I was looking for 🤙🏻
great video! very easy to follow,I will be in Oahu for first time last week of march,IS it possible i can meet and go fishing with you guys,
coming from southern California,
thanks!
Good job guys! Good info simple and easy remember!
SUPER HELPFUL VIDEO! please make some more Tips on fishing in Hawaii. Aloha 🤙🏽
All the 1st one is is a Carolina Rig,but let's slap a different name on it.You also should have a bead between the egg sinker and swivel to keep the lead from damaging the knot.
The 2nd,I'd just rig up a slip bobber so you can fish any depth....
love your videos! Live on Maui and started getting into fishing and was wondering if you could help me out... i got two poles: a medium action 10’ prevail and a medium 8’ uglystik bigwater. are these ok for whipping/jigging? what size reel/line strength should I equip them with if I’m targeting omilu/oio?
What are the action on the poles? On the base by where the rod meets the grip it should be printed.
Shaka Fishing both medium/fast
Hey I was wondering if you could use a mark white lure with the whipping set up ??
For sure! You got to balance out the weight of the lure to the lead though, if the lure gets to heavy it pulls the line too fast and ends up with the lead just holding it back.
Easiest way is bamboo pole. This is second and third easiest way.
As always super helpful video man 👊 I lost it at 12:53 "You're blowin it" 😂😂 Gotta know how to put the line on the rod before anything else lol
+The GOAT Lmao! You know that!
Braddahs, thank you so much for making this video!! I've been looking for a vid just like this ever since I moved to Oahu. I did a lot of fresh water stream fishing and lake fishing when I lived in Cali(mostly for trout). But all that experience does me basically no good here, so it's cool to see the successful rigs in Hawaii, and be taught how to hook em up. Something tells me all that 2#, and 1# test line isn't going to do me any good here.🤓
Happy fishing!
Glad to have helped out! If you get a chance do me a solid and take the barbs off your hooks too ;D. Haha yea low pounds like that will be a real struggle to fish with here.
Lowest you should go out here is 6# even that is getting risky haha fish love to dive rocks like nobodys business out here!!! Good luck!
Right on Fellas! Thanks much!! And no need to worry about the barbs. I'm going out barbless!
Yee!
Yessssai another cherreh video, it was awesome and informative. Keep em coming. Ive noticed some growth in the channel yessai!
Mahalo! We are so stoked, it is picking up quicker then we expected tbh. Haha thanks for the continued support Braddah!
Appreciate all the tips and tutorials you shared 👍
Thank you for such a helpful video. I am relatively new to fishing and when I went online, I saw a hundred different styles of bobbers( weighted bobbers, bobber stops, etc) but I can't seem to find these bobbers in your video. Can you tell me the name of them or provide a link so I can buy them? Mahalo !!!!
Check out walmart or any fishing store on the islands they should have your wooden bobbers
excellent. I am coming from Yorkshire in northern England to Oahu in October hoping to try out spinning from the beach. thank you for producing this video, Mahalo
@kaio james thanks i will try to remember i was gonna bring my gear from England but the airline costs way more than buying a setuo at Walmart. I can't wait to try.
Awesome guys. going to Maui next week. my son is a quality fisherman. we are looking forward to hooking up on shore. any brands of grubs you prefer?
this helped so much, thanks guys.
Very welcome! Let us know how it works out!
Just moved to Hawaii and this video was great. Going to try these out on Friday.
Great advice! I wish I had watched this video before losing two resin egg weights on Kona pier. Yeah don’t let your rigs sink to the bottom.
Those flash bombs are expensive lol
Thanks for the videos! Very informative. What would your ideal beginner whipping set up as far as rod and reel go. Somewhere in the middle/low side price wise.
Go to walmart and pick yourself up a 20-30$ rod and reel combo medium action not to big but not too small either 7ft medium action rod with a medium/small reel is my go too
Mahalo brah I live down kawaihae side and this rig is definitely the best I’ve tried so far
chee, i already had an idea of how to fish since little kid days but now knowing how to setup my own stuff helps a ton thanks braddahs, most simple straight to the point tutorial
Awesome! That is exactly what we were trying to do with the video glad it worked out and was helpful! About to drop the next one! ;D
I keep getting stuck on rocks with my dunking rigs, i lost 7 rigs a few sundays ago. Long hook line, short leader? Or am i doing something wrong?
You want the hook like short so that the lead is what is likely to get stuck. If it is super reefy you need enough lead line to allow the swivel to be above the rocks
Probably poopa'a grabbing your hook and running rocks hinalea will also run rocks... question.. are you holding your rod after you cast or are you putting it in a rod holder witch gives fish more time to run into rocks... especially in snaggy areas I try not to use pole holders. Also in Rocky areas I make my lead line 5 feet long sometimes..
Do you know the brand or style of the red bobber you can tie on both ends?
We got them all over the stores in Hawaii. Here is a link to the HiFishGear listing. Got the channel promo code if you decide to go with them (Shaka5). www.hifishgear.com/products/hawaiian-angler-egg-bobber-hi-vis-orange?variant=38415306945¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwgdayBhBQEiwAXhMxti5LmYapBixv_rAhrRCmQl3lMfBqJRmh4PXsjwnMfx3rJO4UHxkLcxoCfcAQAvD_BwE
@@ShakaFishing Cool thanks will do! I've asked some shops here in California and they look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for them, lol.
good video, subbed. We use the same setup here on the mainland (west coast) for surf fishing. good stuff. Are those bobbers weighted on the bottom? Ive had good luck using flies with a splashing bobber for bonito (aku)
Mahalo! Do you call it a whipping rig like us too? No those ones we used are not, but normally we use ones with a weight on them to cast farther. Aku is sooo good haha. Got to nail one soon ;D
Very good info fellas, leaving for Kauai tomorrow. Staying in Princeville area, gonna try both rigs for sure. Digging your videos 🤙🏽
You guys are awesome. Funny and you do such a good job explaining it and describing why you do stuff. Really appreciate it🤙🤙
Thanks so much for the detailed help guys. Mahalo
Please teach to convert to non Lead sinkers. It is a good thing & Colorado
is now phasing them out. Also painted adds flash to your rig !
Good info & thanks.
Came to Oahu over 20 years ago, went shopping for a new kit, got distracted, ended up working too much and forgot how to fish after discovering Starbucks. It's good to know my two favorite rigs are still useful, I say favorite because I've never learned anything else. Have you guys ever experimented with custom bait to enhance the lures you choose?
Is the bobber rig good for Surf fishing and ‘I suggest campania lures Brah. Get choke fish.
Just got back from a Maui vacation last week. I watched this video before we went, and it totally paid off. Got a nice papio whipping from the shore in Kihei! Thanks for the info. You guys are awesome! Mahalo!
kmizutani7 thats awesome make sure to #shakafishing with your fishing pictures!
Thanks for the info. My son and I are Gonna try it out next week in Poipu. 🤙✌️
Beginner fisherman, appreciate the video.
Here in SoCal we have something similar, pretty much we get something similar to a Hammerbomb than we attach maybe 5-6 feet of line then a fly at the end for Pacific Bonito. Do you think a small little grub at the end of the hammerbomb will work here in California ?
I bet that they would! You would be the first person over there to try it out I bet.
Great vids. I will be in Kauai in a couple weeks and now feel like I about half way know what to and what to expect. Good luck with your channel.
Thanks for this! My 7 year old has been asking me to bring him fishing and I have no idea what I'm doing as far as setting up rigs. This video has been the most helpful so far. Now I just gotta find shore/pier spots on Oahu safe him & I.
Awesome video guys. Just went and bought a casting setup last weekend, trying to get into fishing. Definitely going to get a similar setup to what you just showed in this video. Appreciate it all the info!
Right on! Do us a solid and snap your barbs and pick up any trash you might come across ;D
You got it
So informative! Thank you so much!
Great info! Will test it out once I get there in a couple weeks :)
Let us know how it goes!

Aloha!...Chee hooo!
Many many thanks! Great to hear the support it gives us fuel to get out there and make more! Malama Moana for life!
CHEEEE HOOOO!
What knot is it thats tied?
Thanks!! Been looking for exactly this sort of tutorial! I've been a fly fisherman for years on the mainland and feel clueless out here.
Simple and easy to follow, good video - thanks. I'm heading out to Oahu in a few months and like to fish the surf. The c-rig is similar to what we do here in So Cal, but use a 18"-24" leader. I'll need to try a longer leader and see if that works better. We also use the motor-oil grub.
Awesome brother. Motor oil slays thanks for watching
I'm going to be there next week and I'm gonna slay em' thanks to you guys.
Good luck!
Mahalo ;D
Well done video, from a fellow fisherman in California going to maui for to weeks.....thanks!!!
Right on! Hope it helped out a bit, how was it?
Tight lines fellas! Thank you for excellent video
Nice, simple , can understand good job braddah🤙🤘
thanks uso now i can go buy one cheap pole at walmart and try so i can have some fish for da grill instead of chicken lol,
That is how braddah! Glad to help out!
Thank u braddahs heading out tomorrow hopefully catch something if not all good 🤙🏾
What's your opinion on using 2 splitshot leads instead of egg lead in the whipping rig?
Allen Lin nothing wrong with using two split shots. I use them when i rum out of egg leads but you dont cast as far with the split shots so i dont recommended using lures with splitshots use bait instead with a slow retrieve stay low to the bottom but try not to get stuck. 👍🐟
Shaka po'opa'a mahalos
Very good video! Well explained!🤘
Hey bradah, will 7.6 Medium Light do good? #uglystikElite
Pogi Ko yup you can even go longer too but thats perfect anyhing 7 to 9 foot is good for whipping
Great video! Would these rigs work on the longer, larger poles? What can I do to send my bait out farther?
Mahalo! They would work on most poles that are lower on the power scale and lighter on the action. This video might be of help to you in the question ua-cam.com/video/HsEZtpRLEPY/v-deo.html
Been watching your video for years, moved here, Hawaii Big Island 4 years ago use your rigs always, Mahalo
very informative
Mahalo nui loa!
Where in Kona are these fishing rig components available?
KTA will work
Thanks guys. I'm out here in NorCal. Going to Maui in a couple of weeks for vacay and needed tips for fishing out there. Great tips.
Mahalo! Got a few follow up episodes made too. ;D
Thanks. Gonna try that second floater rig!
Yea buddy! Let me know how it goes for you!
Great video guys, I am from Florida and I see the locals using those rings. I really appreciate your time to do this tips on how to dyi. Great stuff 😊
Yes worked very well for me when I was living in Florida aswell caught lots of black drum snapper Spanish mackerel and jacks on the whip rig Mahalo 💪👍❤️
Thanks bro! It is sick to hear feedback like this. Danny was over there last year crushing with this setup.
Mahaloz! Was always tying the egg sinker on instead of letting it free.
Welcome braddah! I use to do that too, this way works way better though. :D
have been shopping for fishing rigs to bring with me to hawaii when i move there with my son and this video has helped alot... thank you
+Taraz Pariseau check out hifishgear.com they have the load of solid gear, got the promo code Shaka5 going ATM for a discount on anything you get too ;D.
+Taraz Pariseau very welcome!
way cool thanks a ton. cant wait to gear up and get there and do some serious fishing. going to be in maui. son is in army and he is getting stationed there. and i love to be outdoors.
Mahalos for the videos! I decided a few days ago that I wanted to start fishing and came upon your guys videos. I set up a cheap whipping rig and 4 days later I caught my first omilu around 11inches! Super stoked on my first catch! Mahalo guys, love the solid advice and good vibes! Chee!
Awesome stuff bradda thanks for sharing your story. (:
great tips, thanks a lot !!!
Very welcome braddah!
Awesome video! I'm gonna show it to my boyz. They are just learning how to tie their own rigs. They will love this. Mahalo
Sounds great!
That's what I'm talken aboot. Good job boyz. Have you ever tried a double hook set up? Tie in the first hook the tie in another liner at the bend of that hook say 18" and tie in another offering like a fly or another color grub on the bottom.
Danny has been trying something similar lately! Might try this method out myself though soon!
Yall wanna let me tag along with ya fishing while I'm here?
solid video guys, keep it coming!
Mahalo nui loa! We will do just that! Thanks for the support.
Awesome video guys! Just wondering if the floater you're using has the wire going through the body with the eye on each side..if it's the cheap Wal-Mart action then the screw eyes will pull out when a big fish bites or you get reef-snagged. The screw eye threads are shallow and can get ripped out easily. May I suggest instead to attach the floater to the snap and tie the leader to one end of the swivel and the leader to the other end of the swivel so that the burden of fighting the fish lies with the swivel and not the screw eyes in the floater...i haven't had any issues with line twists or anything. Thanks keep the vids coming!
Straight up that is great advise! Going to start implementing! Mahalo!
That is some great advice!👍 right on my bradda.
+Shaka po'opa'a this is super prime advice, 100% going to implement!
Aauurriigghhtt!! Lol
What’s it mean when you guy’s say shoot shoots?
renato frattin has a few different meanings depending on the delivery of the shoots. So shoots in hawaii means like "yup! sounds good" or you can say "shoots then" that means "see you later alligator" but most times we just say shoooots!!! Which is a combo of sounds good see you later!
^^^ Nailed the translation.
Super informative video! Thanks!
Thank you so much for the help. I remembah fishin when I was small kid time in Hilo... goin' back to da island in July and showin my bf da island. I wanna show him how fish dere! :) Mahalos!
+Wendy Brown yea buddy! Glad to help out!!
Just getting into this kind of fishing. Thanks for the help. You are the bomb.🤙🏽
im new to fishing in hawaii this video help me alot can you also show us how to set up dunking rig if you can thaks
Thanks for letting us know! For sure man it is coming up soon ;D
I live on the reef in Guam. I'd love to hear how you bros do your fish finding on the reef.
