    FYI,I stumbled upon this video and realized that I'm the guy who was fishing next to him. I sure didn't mind pulling my line up while he fought his fish. Appreciated the tips he offered and was happy for him. Seemed very knowledgeable and his willingness to share some info was cool. Best of luck and Thanks.

      Thanks! Just because you're fishing doesn't mean you have the right to be rude. And I want to point out that the gentleman down the bank kindly pulled up his line and waited for me to land the fish. This is how it should be done.

    In fly fishing, that technique is sometimes called the leisenring lift, when your fly is on a drift downstream and as the line swings downstream directly behind you, the line tension causes the fly to rise and it can be super effective on trout and salmon. Nice striper!

    Good video...I Just added the 11’ TFO GIS 3-8oz rod to my surf rod collection. I have a feeling that this is going to be my go to rod for fishing heavy jigs in fast water. I don’t fish the canal but we have some deep, fast water around the mouth of the kennebec River here in Maine. I’m thinking it might be a good rod for jigging some of the inlets in Florida too.

  • @Peter-zg3em
    @Peter-zg3em Рік тому

    i've got the 9' tfo .5-3.5oz as a daily driver two piece that stays in my car and replaced a beater tica that finally kicked the bucket. it's a well built rod but the action is a little fast and it's a little too dainty for my taste and hand size. it may break in a little. i will need to add some kind of tape or cork above the reel because it is very thin and feels like a toy in your hands when you are working pencils. extremely fun and responsive rod for spooks and small jigs, and if you're looking for something lightweight and durable that will not break the bank then it is a very good option. it's also downright beautiful. i get comments all the time. butt is a little long for my taste. maybe 2.5-3" less and i'd be happy. 4000 is where it is balanced best but i run a 200 staal on it all the time and it's not all that out of place. 100 or 150 staal would be more ideal. i run 40 lb braid to 40 flouro on the staal and 20 lb braid to 30 lb mono on the 4000 BG. i hear the 11' rated for .5-2 is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on for small bucktails and plugs.

    @dougblack7411 7 років тому

    Not hating...just curious...I noticed when you measured your fish you started the tape at his tail and ran it down following the curve of the body to the top of the lower jaw...I too used to measure fish that way...in Florida now you can't do that as it can give you extra length...instead we pinch the tail ...lay our ruler on the ground and measure from there not touching the fish.... Any rules like that up there or are our FWC officers down here just stickers ?

I snapped the second one, which was a replacement they sent for the fist one, chuckin a ~3 oz live eel. It was the second time I used the rod and I'm extremely careful with my gear so there was no way anything could have happened to it on my end. I don't believe they're built well at all
