What length rod do you use for mackerel, newbie here and the rod I was looking at is 10ft which seems huge to use on a sib, or is that the standard size for mackerel rods? What do you recommend?
To be honest mate I use whatever rod for mackerel fishing off the boat. I usually use an old spinning rod as I like to cast out. No bigger than 8ft. Sometimes If I'm jigging for mackerel I'll use one of my boat rods that I bring with me for bait fishing. 10ft is too long for a sib imo
@@fishaunangling Yeah I did think 10ft seemed too long, maybe for shore based fishing, when I see Mackerel rod combos they are all around 10ft, I’ve been looking for what ppl use for Mackerel on boats but it’s not easy to see what rods ppl use.
Brilliant edit Shaun dolphins are awsome creatures as well 👊👍
Cheers mate, Even more in yesterdays trip
@@fishaunangling can’t wait to get the boat and see them myself

@@estd1984 Any old spinning rod mate. Penn Wrath spinning rod will do the trick if you don't want to spend too much
What s the difference fishing with normal reel and with the other one you had it in the video,forget the name,never used it.
Preference I think mate
