    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

    @blackdog1234567890 6 років тому +5

    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

  • @zathoichicloe
    @zathoichicloe 6 років тому +1

    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

    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.

  • @TomyTekOutdoors

  • @CaryKelly11

    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.

    • @HeySkipper
      @HeySkipper  6 років тому +3

      Monster fish for sure, but even those can be fun on smaller rods! The biggest perk I see with this is the casting ability

    • @CaryKelly11
      @CaryKelly11 6 років тому +4

      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...

    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!

    @smokinghobbit1987 6 років тому

    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 :).

    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! :)

  • @leonardwood8024
    @leonardwood8024 6 років тому

    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'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.

  • @faizelvarnicker9020
    @faizelvarnicker9020 6 років тому +1

    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.

    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.

  • @1Aorangi
    @1Aorangi 5 років тому

    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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.

      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.
