My favorite part of the video "Daniel, if I can do it, anyone can do it" "Don't put yourself down like that okay?" Powerful words to remind a loved one about their inner strength.

Beautiful *Fishing* Congratulations, I am a fisherwoman here in *Brazil.* 👍🎣🐟🐠🐡
The advantage they bring to you is distance to get out where other rods can't reach breaking fish ( beach fishing ). You should practice throwing like on the beach or a field , that's what I did before I took it out for the first time and when I took it to Assateague and casted the weight ( I was using 17 lb mono ) it went 120 feet, so using braid you might throw a little further, I've caught bluefish on it back in the 70's they were 12 pounds and up a good fight and a hell of a work out for me but I got them in. I brought it with me every time I went fishing just in case they were breaking, try using a lure ( top water or heavy metal ) you'll have a lot of fun or just use cut bait. Larry
Good vid. I've surfed fished most of my life and I have one suggestion to improve your casting distance with a 15ft pole. Practice driving into your throw with our hips. It will give you little extra power. Also practice the release of the line during the throw. Makes a big difference when you're throwing for distance vs accuracy. Cheers
Thanks for this review. I bought the exact same rod from Bass Pro about of month ago for surf perch here in WA. Got a Diawa 8500 to go with it. Haven't had a chance to get out to the coast to use it yet. Nice to get some validation for being talked into buying such a huge rod. Thanks again.
15 ft rod works well if you have more open space, that way you can cast even further with the correct technique. Try pairing it up with a surfcasting reel, helps you gain more distance
These are the kind of rods we use in Spain for surf fishing, I have a 5.20 meters and yes, they basically are to get more distance in casting. I guess as we don't have that amount of fish (the population of fish has been decreasing exponentially in Spain for the last 15 years) close to the surf we need to cast the bait way out there. Thanks for your videos
I want to say a couple things. Your lady friend said something that was cool, don't be ungrateful about the size of the fish... I like that .and then when you reeled in the fish I thought that was nice , a keeper and actually got to keep your bait , and when you tossed your bait back out, that was some serious hang time dude
Every one in the UK uses 12ft + rods for beach fishing, but now we have started using 14ft +rods what we call continental rods it's all about easy casting and finesse bait presentation, the rod you are using looks like a budget rod when you use a decent one they are a absolute pleasure to use.
Hey Brendon, Owen here from Senko Skipper Fishing Community. I have a really good bait-saving tip. Instead of bunching worms on a hook, thread the worm onto the hook like a sock on a foot or a senko on a jig. That way, you really save on bait. Also, it stays on the hook WAY better and can be reused after 5 or 6 fish.
Great stuff. My longest rod is 10ft. I think that would be great for OBX to get past the breakers. Looked like a great time with the family. Man that hike down is no joke.
Smaller rods and reels are more fun because you can feel the fish fighting. Larger rods and reels are the way to go if you are fishing for monster fish or if you are fishing for food.
Yes small rods can be fun with a monster on. Except the time I hooked a 40+ lb black drum on 6 foot ugly stick with 12lb test off the Chesapeak Bay Bridge pier. The drum just keep running out and after about 2-3 mins I ran out of line and he snapped me off (halfway to Virginia Beach). Talk about feeling helpless...
I use it at the Baltic sea where 200feet is a short cast, also dirt and waves pull down your line so you want it as far up as possible also weight goes up to 8,5 oz
They also allow for use of lighter line. The rod will give in under tension much like the drag. They are used often for salmon and trout when they spawn up the rivers of the great lakes.
You got my like when I saw that hammock swinging. What a decent human being you seem to be. Kind toward your mom, sister and others. Your videos are uplifting, not just for the fishing and nature, but due to your nature. I good man is a wonderful thing. There are so many selfish creeps in the world. Thanks for the efforts in making such enjoyable content. Here's to you!
I bought one of those rods about a month ago. Cant wait to take it to Florida for some surf fishing. Bought a 6000 series reel for it and I do believe I have a great combo. Great buy too
If I may give you a tip for casting with a surfcasting rod: In order to cast farther, cast with the reel pointed up and not down. Besides this, a reel with a bigger spool capacity will produce less resistance when unwinding. Great vid though! Love watching you and Erin. Keep it up! Love from a fanatic beach fisherman in The Netherlands.
The terrain looks very similar to parts of Lake Superior here in Wisconsin, USA. I would very much like to visit your wonderful country some day! Best feom Sconnieland! -Bill
where I live we tend to use 13-16ft rods for beach fishing all the time. The reason is that our fish tend to stay further away from the shoreline and its purely to get distance. You mostly just get small flatfish and roundfish here but if you'd use a smaller fishing rod you wouldn't catch them cause you can't get the distance :).
Dude. Been following you guys for forever. Just love how you always try to take your family out on your adventures. I try to do the same and obviously go on the hunt solo sometimes. But its always better with the people that matter! Always love watching the vids.
Everything you said about circle hooks is correct. You left out what a pain in the ‘’?!#&” they are for putting bait on. I still use them exclusively except of course for treble hook situations. Great video. I love your family! First video of you I’ve seen so I am a new subscriber.
I really enjoyed this video dude........ Such a great way to spend a few hours with family and friends. Personally, I would use a rod this lengh to cast further and to keep my line up off of the sea bed when ledgering. Keep the videos coming guys, Much love to all!
here in my country, we only use those kind of ginormous rods for surf fishing (surfcasting as we call it here). the ocean here is tough, and that lenght helps keeping the line above the waves so the water doesn't pick the line as much. we also use heavier sinkers (up to 150g or more) and those big rods are better to lauch those sinkers farther away! :)
We used them in the surf and jetty fishing as well in and around surf and rocky areas. You will be able to cast heavy plugs too. Fish size (stripers) usually in the 20 to 50 lb range. Where do you fish?
I walked up and down a 12ft plus drop with a sling tacklebox, a hiking backback, 3 rods in one hand and a bucket of water in my other with nothing but loose dirt and tiny roots to grab onto. I'm not bragging but they're stuggling on some of the simplest terrain out there. Great video by the way!
I just got that rod today! Will use jigging for Spanish Mackerel on Myrtle Beach, SC piers to use for content on my UA-cam channel. Thanks for sharing.
Taylor franklin You use the bigger rod to launch the bait past the breakers, also it helps to keep the line clear of the water when theres tons of kelp adrift. Keeping that line above the first breaker can be the key to not catch kelp all day/night
Hey Skipper! Just ordered a 12 foot Daiwa Beef Stick. It will be here on Feb 9, 2021. Of course you know I had to pull up one of your videos to see how you handle your big boys. 👍🏾👍🏾
That's why most uk beach fishermen use a 12 ft rod or above, you may get away with a 6 or 8 ft rod for lure fishing in the surf but for anything above the 2 oz mark you need the extra length for distance. Have you tried an English type carp/pike rod with a 2 3/4 lb or 3lb test curve with a length of 12 ft ,mine is in 6 sections and has traveled the world and used for everything from float fishing and light sea work to using it on heavy artificials with a weight of a couple of oz if you get the chance try one you may be pleasantly surprised.
Great vid...there are big 2 advantages when using a big no. 1. Like you said casting mainly used for surf areas to get over the bars no.2 its when u targeting bigger fish while smaller rods are fun and u feel the fish more its because your smaller rod is potentially reaching maximum flex which in turn allows the fish to put more force on the line pulling more drag than it should its like applying direct pressure to the fish which inturn allows alot more hook pulls while bigger rods are designed to take that amount of force and turn it against the fish because the maximum flex is alot harder to reach allowing the rod to bend less/not to over exert to much pressure on the fish thus making the fish become exhausted alot quicker think of it like fighting against a spring thus reducing hook pulls.
Thats what we call a surfcasting rod in Europe,we use surf rod only for this kind of fishing,but how good it fish and it casts it depends on the quality of rod,the one on the video is a beginner rod,if you will buy a high quality on you will definitly crazy love them more than one in the video!Keep going you're amazing! :)
I took my new twelve foot, heavy surf spinning rod out to Padre Island yesterday. I used four once's of lead at about 100 yards. I immediately hooked a 4 inch catfish. As long and stiff as the rod was, I felt the strike. As small as the fish was, I am guessing that he put up a good fight. I really can't say, because I just felt the four once's of lead on the retrieve. But, I will aways wonder how many two and three inchers that I missed using that hog stick.
Take it out and try different sinkers to find the optimal casting weight for the rod. Try clipped down pulley with circle hooks. Extra distance, self hooking and the sinker is kept up away from snags by the weight of the fish. Works well here in NZ for most species.
Without watching the video I would guess that it would give you more leverage to get your lure farther and it would give you more height to get over the waves as they roll in
Only rodsover 10 foot I've used were fly rods, and the longer the farther the cast can be but more local specific the rod can be used due to the length.
First time hearing about the circle hook regulation/law. That’s ok cause I feel bad whenever I gut hooked a shaker. Cut the line and throw it back good luck little fella
What's up senko. I really like your videos they are really helpful. I recently just got back into fishing as well with my brothers after some years. And I just bought myself and "Ande" brand rod with a Shimabo bait runner reel 6000D. Thanks to you. I have get to try it out at the pier due to heavy rain in west palm beach, florida.... It sucks. Anyways when I get to try it out I'm sure I'll be happy with it. Keep it up with the videos. You guys are awesome and thanks for the fishing knowledge.
Big rods like that are for big hard hitting fish, that you can't immediately stop and haul in. They take the shock out of them striking and provide a spring to the whole rig so that your line doesn't snap when you get hit. Lets you play them out and wear the fish down overtime. With a much bigger reel that holds more line than the one you're using there. Those size rods are really good for catching big king fish and giant trevally.
There was a family of Philippino's all using 15 ft rods at the surf here in San Diego yesterday. Im used to seeing 9 to 12 ft rods but they stood out lol.
we use those big rods in turkey for shorefishing all the time. a standard-rod here is 3.5m (11.5 ft) - for surfcasting, you need at least 3.8-4.2m. shorefishers go mostly with sabiki lines with 10 fly-lures with/wo bait. With those rods you can easily cast 30-50m (100-160ft), good anglers even 100m+ (300ft) with 65-200g (2.2 - 9o) weights. in the magic hour, you regularly catch 4-8 small horse mackerels... they are hard to cast, because they take so much room, also they are quite heavy ... but you have to hit the sweetspot, which is normally, the farther out, the better... is this a 3 piece rod or a telescopic rod?
I got the new(ish) Penn Rampage 2 , 15 foot 9 matched with Penn Mag 525 because a long rod enables me to cast smoother and further and it looks really nice too.
I'm building a long rod to dip live bait into weed beds for Bass from the bank. The big ones won't hardly bite a lure as they get too much fishing pressure, but they'll bite a live sunfish or frog, etc.
Fun vid. 15 foot was my small surf rod. Broke the 20 footer on a HUGE Bat Ray. I mistimed the wave while trying to land it and it went out with the wave faster than I could adjust. I had this rod for over 35 years. Sniff sniff. Poop happens. Tight Lines Youngens.
I like 10 to 13Ft rods for fishing salt water from shore. I prefer conventional reels but i also like open face reels for mackerel but usually my friends use my open face gear more than i do. I find sometimes throwing a 4oz cod jig with a few mackerel flies gets me into the fish when they are far out and no one is having luck
I have four of those exact rods that I use to fish with on the beach they help keep your line above the sand bars best long rod of that length for the price they don't look as big when you're on the beach
decided that i want to cast out much farther at my usual spot so i just bought a Okuma Tundra TU-150 3 piece 15' medium/heavy rod and put my diawa df100a(10,000 size) with 100lb braid on it. looking forward to catching some giant catfish.
I’m 5’6. The Bass Pro guy sold me an 8 ft. pole for pier fishing. It felt awkward at first and I still wonder if a shorter pole would be easier for me.
Another great video guys any chance you could do a reel maintenance video? Had a few reels making the same noise yours did at 8 mins but when they were new they were silent. Any tips?
lol that's the exact size rod that we use for surf casting and rock fishing in italy. We use them for every fish only changing the casting range of the rod. we use heavier rods for big fish like blufish or seabass and ligther rods for such as horse makarels and sea breams
Enjoyed seeing your family outing. Check out U.K beach fishing, we all use long rods for maximum distance, we commonly fish baits at 150m. The continental (European) style rods have got even longer , some 17ft, but remain sensitive to small bites. Good luck to you and your kin.
Sorry if this was already answered but can someone identify the make /model of the 15 ft rod and maybe where to get it? Or other 15 ft rod recommendations? Thanks. You're awesome Senko Skipper, we are learning a lot from you.
awesome videos lol I use a lot of those long rods in most of my surfcasting videos where i need the extra length to cast over the rough waves as well as achieve good distance but it all comes after practice
That sounds like what this rod is made for! Sounds like you have a lot of great examples of how to use a long rod like this on your channel! 👍🏼 maybe some others can benefit
Yep, it's a surf rod. At least, that's what we call them here in Australia. Many years ago, we used to fish for Garfish with a 20 foot bamboo pole. Gar as in sea gar. The smallish ones with the beak. We'd fish with a float at night along a rock wall. As soon as the float dipped, we'd pull back hard and bring them to shore the same way as professional Tuna fisherman flip fish onto the boat.
That is so much fun when the whole family are able to go fishing together. These times spent together are just price less. Enjoy your day every one.

Love u fisher Women
The whole family is out! Very cool gang.
Brad Griffin shut up brad

y'all are the best!!!! I only use 9 foot rods I just got a 13 we will see how it works out.. thanks for the tips.
Lol I felt the same way about this rod 😂 let me know how it goes for you!
As usual great video! If you're passing through Delaware again I can help with your casting distance. I am hitting 150+ yds with a 12ft rod.
In malaysia we use 15ft or 16ft rod for stingray fish and reel size 5000 braided 15lb ~ 30lb
Good vid. I've surfed fished most of my life and I have one suggestion to improve your casting distance with a 15ft pole. Practice driving into your throw with our hips. It will give you little extra power. Also practice the release of the line during the throw. Makes a big difference when you're throwing for distance vs accuracy. Cheers

I used them alot in tx and La. Catch 20-30lb reds, and a 28lb black drum. Great casting range with a 8000-9000 series spinning reel.
"that's the biggest rod I've ever seen"...
Yes, that's what she said.
oh mah gawd
Steve Rivera how many fishes did you catch with it ?
I just brought a 20ft rod
I wonder what she would say if she saw my 16 meter pole and when I say pole it's not a rod
@@notmissingout9369 16 MEEETTTEEERS?
When you starting running line thru the eyes, did you find that you started at the reel in one zip code and ended up in another at the last eye?
I fish from my local beach at night and information like this have helped me get better results. Thank you 👍🏽
15 ft rod works well if you have more open space, that way you can cast even further with the correct technique. Try pairing it up with a surfcasting reel, helps you gain more distance

Hahah thank you so much! I appreciate what erin said about being grateful for the fish as well 🙏🏼👍🏼😂 it’s all about your mindset, right?
That's what she said literally
Hey Skipper just asking what’s the specs on the rod you’re dad is using?
You're family seems so awesome. Love this channel, keep the good vids comming. Shout out from Louisiana.
Thanks! Shoutout from Maryland! I appreciate what you said about the fam 👍🏼🙏🏼
We use those rods for surfcasting, when you need to throw a 100g bait behind the surf with strong current.
Every one in the UK uses 12ft + rods for beach fishing, but now we have started using 14ft +rods what we call continental rods it's all about easy casting and finesse bait presentation, the rod you are using looks like a budget rod when you use a decent one they are a absolute pleasure to use.

Monster fish for sure, but even those can be fun on smaller rods! The biggest perk I see with this is the casting ability
Yes small rods can be fun with a monster on. Except the time I hooked a 40+ lb black drum on 6 foot ugly stick with 12lb test off the Chesapeak Bay Bridge pier. The drum just keep running out and after about 2-3 mins I ran out of line and he snapped me off (halfway to Virginia Beach). Talk about feeling helpless...
Carl Keller piers closed now
I use it at the Baltic sea where 200feet is a short cast, also dirt and waves pull down your line so you want it as far up as possible also weight goes up to 8,5 oz
Orignal Lee: Didn't know that. I moved from Hampton Roads about 15 years ago. Lots of memories on that pier... spanish, trout, flounder and drum.
They also allow for use of lighter line. The rod will give in under tension much like the drag. They are used often for salmon and trout when they spawn up the rivers of the great lakes.

Your a dork! And we all love it!! Thanks for being awesome and being real!! ( “I’ve got a long rod”)🤣🤣🤣. Tight lines brotha!
At 8:48 your dad casts like a champ! Any chance you can do a video with him explaining his technique?
Bruh! I already use long rod i love it and iam 14 and love fishin and caught fishes around 20 kilos in kuwait

Why cast with your rod upside down?

where I live we tend to use 13-16ft rods for beach fishing all the time. The reason is that our fish tend to stay further away from the shoreline and its purely to get distance.

Where is this spot at? I’m in MD too. I’m going to visit Chaptico Pier on Sunday I’ve hear that they have huge Saltwater Catfish!!
Great Video by the way
Everything you said about circle hooks is correct. You left out what a pain in the ‘’?!#&” they are for putting bait on. I still use them exclusively except of course for treble hook situations. Great video. I love your family! First video of you I’ve seen so I am a new subscriber.
I really enjoyed this video dude........
Such a great way to spend a few hours with family and friends. Personally, I would use a rod this lengh to cast further and to keep my line up off of the sea bed when ledgering.
Keep the videos coming guys,
Much love to all!
That whip sound it makes when you cast it is so intense but it only really good for deep sea fishing probably.
Good to see your family sharing with you that little boy will never forget his day at rocks be careful going back up
here in my country, we only use those kind of ginormous rods for surf fishing (surfcasting as we call it here). the ocean here is tough, and that lenght helps keeping the line above the waves so the water doesn't pick the line as much. we also use heavier sinkers (up to 150g or more) and those big rods are better to lauch those sinkers farther away! :)

Today i used my 3.50 metres and it mades me feel tired . Also you have to read the lures weight required .
I walked up and down a 12ft plus drop with a sling tacklebox, a hiking backback, 3 rods in one hand and a bucket of water in my other with nothing but loose dirt and tiny roots to grab onto. I'm not bragging but they're stuggling on some of the simplest terrain out there. Great video by the way!
I just got that rod today! Will use jigging for Spanish Mackerel on Myrtle Beach, SC piers to use for content on my UA-cam channel. Thanks for sharing.

You use the bigger rod to launch the bait past the breakers, also it helps to keep the line clear of the water when theres tons of kelp adrift. Keeping that line above the first breaker can be the key to not catch kelp all day/night
That fish came in on Jet skis...😂😂 The casting distance is worth buying for the river 2 thumbs up 👍👍
Probably the perfect rod for beach fishing 🎣 do you have a beach near you?
I know I am late, but I love the way you talk about saving fish and the environment. Great content!
Thank you for letting us know:)
Your family looks like a lot of fun! They made me smile. Good stuff!
Hey Skipper! Just ordered a 12 foot Daiwa Beef Stick. It will be here on Feb 9, 2021. Of course you know I had to pull up one of your videos to see how you handle your big boys. 👍🏾👍🏾
I always watch/enjoy your video!! WOULD YOU SHARE THE GPS COORDINATE for this spot? I live in Northern VA area and I'd love to come with my son!
I use a 10’6 shimano rod for fishing for rays, and smaller sharks. So far I love it.
ryea i use the same size for fishing for meter long spanish mackeral
15 footer is very common at my country (Malaysia). Normally we use for beach surf casting. Some of friend use 18 footer rod.
That's why most uk beach fishermen use a 12 ft rod or above, you may get away with a 6 or 8 ft rod for lure fishing in the surf but for anything above the 2 oz mark you need the extra length for distance.

I second the bait runner reels, it basically a double drag system, I have the Okuma reels and they feel great! And under $50
in UK its the norm to use 13 and a half to 14-foot multiplier and up to 16 fix spool rods so keep it up dude YOU HAVE THE POWER
Thats what we call a surfcasting rod in Europe,we use surf rod only for this kind of fishing,but how good it fish and it casts it depends on the quality of rod,the one on the video is a beginner rod,if you will buy a high quality on you will definitly crazy love them more than one in the video!Keep going you're amazing! :)

In Portugal, 5m, 6m, 7m and 8 meter (26 feet 1/4") rods are used all the time for fishing on the rocky shore.
Enjoy.
Love that whiping sound that a 12ft-15ft gives. Reel size should be at least 5000 or more. Longer rod with a correct techniques can cast even further
That made it look easy to real in, like it wasn’t even a struggle. Really interesting.
I used to have a 13-6 glass rod like that was too soft. I went to a 11-6 carbon rod with more backbone. I can toss 6 oz 100+ yards.
Nice that is a good bit of advice. This one was pretty floppy
Take it out and try different sinkers to find the optimal casting weight for the rod. Try clipped down pulley with circle hooks. Extra distance, self hooking and the sinker is kept up away from snags by the weight of the fish. Works well here in NZ for most species.
Without watching the video I would guess that it would give you more leverage to get your lure farther and it would give you more height to get over the waves as they roll in
It would definitely be good on the beach!
Only rodsover 10 foot I've used were fly rods, and the longer the farther the cast can be but more local specific the rod can be used due to the length.
First time hearing about the circle hook regulation/law. That’s ok cause I feel bad whenever I gut hooked a shaker. Cut the line and throw it back good luck little fella
I just got a 13ft can't wait to get out their. Keep up the great vids. Keep the lines tight n I'll see ya on the Blue
I just got a 13 foot rod as well and just tried it for the first time! Landed a sting ray on it, absolutely love it
Love your videos. Educational & not a lot of yelling. Just fishing
How do you define "targeting a fish"? There are so many fish that would eat a worm right?
At 12:10 the boy Daniel wears a pretty neato Senko skipper tee. Will it be available on your website?
What's up senko. I really like your videos they are really helpful. I recently just got back into fishing as well with my brothers after some years. And I just bought myself and "Ande" brand rod with a Shimabo bait runner reel 6000D. Thanks to you. I have get to try it out at the pier due to heavy rain in west palm beach, florida.... It sucks. Anyways when I get to try it out I'm sure I'll be happy with it. Keep it up with the videos. You guys are awesome and thanks for the fishing knowledge.
Big rods like that are for big hard hitting fish, that you can't immediately stop and haul in. They take the shock out of them striking and provide a spring to the whole rig so that your line doesn't snap when you get hit. Lets you play them out and wear the fish down overtime. With a much bigger reel that holds more line than the one you're using there. Those size rods are really good for catching big king fish and giant trevally.
Great video! Great to see that the whole family is having fun, put a big smile on my face!!
There was a family of Philippino's all using 15 ft rods at the surf here in San Diego yesterday. Im used to seeing 9 to 12 ft rods but they stood out lol.
Senko, make a Texas trip and I can hook you up with some big largemouth bass!
I Had to subscribe because of the Texas Mention😁
we use those big rods in turkey for shorefishing all the time. a standard-rod here is 3.5m (11.5 ft) - for surfcasting, you need at least 3.8-4.2m.
shorefishers go mostly with sabiki lines with 10 fly-lures with/wo bait. With those rods you can easily cast 30-50m (100-160ft), good anglers even 100m+ (300ft) with 65-200g (2.2 - 9o) weights.
in the magic hour, you regularly catch 4-8 small horse mackerels... they are hard to cast, because they take so much room, also they are quite heavy ... but you have to hit the sweetspot, which is normally, the farther out, the better...
is this a 3 piece rod or a telescopic rod?
15ft rods are commonly used in UK beach fishing as most the ground is flat so the extra 20-25 yards you get makes alot of difference
I got the new(ish) Penn Rampage 2 , 15 foot 9 matched with Penn Mag 525 because a long rod enables me to cast smoother and further and it looks really nice too.
I'm building a long rod to dip live bait into weed beds for Bass from the bank. The big ones won't hardly bite a lure as they get too much fishing pressure, but they'll bite a live sunfish or frog, etc.
I own an Ugly stik Big water 11' rod paired with an Ugly stik Ugly tuff 60 reel, works great on small sharks when surf fishing.
Fun vid. 15 foot was my small surf rod. Broke the 20 footer on a HUGE Bat Ray. I mistimed the wave while trying to land it and it went out with the wave faster than I could adjust. I had this rod for over 35 years. Sniff sniff. Poop happens. Tight Lines Youngens.
99.999% of people use the longer rods for surf fishin on the beach.
I agree, but I’ve never tried one before!
Yh
In Portugal it’s all we use 4.5m-5 m long rods
Use medium-light pole to feel it
The added length allows you to cast your bait over and beyond the breakers.
I like 10 to 13Ft rods for fishing salt water from shore. I prefer conventional reels but i also like open face reels for mackerel but usually my friends use my open face gear more than i do. I find sometimes throwing a 4oz cod jig with a few mackerel flies gets me into the fish when they are far out and no one is having luck
I have four of those exact rods that I use to fish with on the beach they help keep your line above the sand bars best long rod of that length for the price they don't look as big when you're on the beach
Whats the Name of the rod and brand please
U ever hear of the Yuki saiko A3 plus. Same length but skinnier.there called continental rods I think.
decided that i want to cast out much farther at my usual spot so i just bought a Okuma Tundra TU-150 3 piece 15' medium/heavy rod and put my diawa df100a(10,000 size) with 100lb braid on it. looking forward to catching some giant catfish.
I’m 5’6. The Bass Pro guy sold me an 8 ft. pole for pier fishing. It felt awkward at first and I still wonder if a shorter pole would be easier for me.
I have that same exact rod👏 Great vid man, I've always enjoyed your content!
You like the rod? What do you primarily use it for? Thanks for watching!
I use it out here in Southern California for mostly any kind of fish but every once and awhile for catching some tiger sharks, I love the rod!
Another great video guys any chance you could do a reel maintenance video? Had a few reels making the same noise yours did at 8 mins but when they were new they were silent. Any tips?
lol that's the exact size rod that we use for surf casting and rock fishing in italy. We use them for every fish only changing the casting range of the rod. we use heavier rods for big fish like blufish or seabass and ligther rods for such as horse makarels and sea breams
I'm not trying to blow up your spot lol but that's an awesome lil spot to fish lol. Is there boat access?
Turkey point md
I have two 21 ft and one 18 the are grate and the best to see if the is a fish hold the line is more sensitive to fish biting.
Hey hey. Is this a texas rig without a floater? Couldn't quite be sure by watching
Enjoyed seeing your family outing. Check out U.K beach fishing, we all use long rods for maximum distance, we commonly fish baits at 150m. The continental (European) style rods have got even longer , some 17ft, but remain sensitive to small bites. Good luck to you and your kin.
Target larger fish with bigger bait and make good use of that rod.
Sorry if this was already answered but can someone identify the make /model of the 15 ft rod and maybe where to get it? Or other 15 ft rod recommendations? Thanks. You're awesome Senko Skipper, we are learning a lot from you.
awesome videos lol I use a lot of those long rods in most of my surfcasting videos where i need the extra length to cast over the rough waves as well as achieve good distance but it all comes after practice
That sounds like what this rod is made for! Sounds like you have a lot of great examples of how to use a long rod like this on your channel! 👍🏼 maybe some others can benefit
Yep, it's a surf rod. At least, that's what we call them here in Australia. Many years ago, we used to fish for Garfish with a 20 foot bamboo pole. Gar as in sea gar. The smallish ones with the beak. We'd fish with a float at night along a rock wall. As soon as the float dipped, we'd pull back hard and bring them to shore the same way as professional Tuna fisherman flip fish onto the boat.
I love the sound of reeling in heavy braid.
i'm use 4.20 meters fishing rod on Brazil, is the best for surf casting and 100 to 150 meters to casting
