ah henry not seen any of your stuff for years in fact you had the collie jess great guy and fisherman that had a great companion, glad i found more of your stuff here,
Very interesting Henry. I think the speed of recovery in the rod blank is key because it isn't really the power stroke that delivers the difference, but that sudden stop, the 'tap'. I'm a good fly caster,especially distance, and I can't help drawing comparisons to bass fishing, even though the weight is the lure, not the fly line. I'm glad you pointed out distance isn't usually required, but we all know it can be everything on the day, and to be honest I enjoy casting, and feeling the rod work. A lot of people I see are using the rod as a lever, and whilst it still flies out, they just aren't using the blank.
I have spent a hell of a lot of time photographing fresh and saltwater fly fishing all around the world, I love it. I am pretty useless at it myself, but to watch good fly anglers casting is amazing, and it's awesome to photograph. What you say is so true, thank you
@@henrygilbey302 And the photography reveals so much. I still find it incredible nobody was sure how horses gallop until multi frame images revealed all.
@@barlow2976 and then look at something like a slo-mo shot of a cheetah running and you can see how incredibly still and level the head is...........I guess that slo-mo opens up a lot of info to us
Im a bit excited about these rods Henry. My fav metal is 32g. These rods, if they do what they say on the tin could be an ideal all round rod. At the moment I use an Illex S210m for my lighter lure fishing, and the bushwhacker for metals. A rod that can do both could be ideal.
LMAO - Hair styling Life 2021 >< ~ great little video though Henry - interesting also, I've seen this location a few times now, I grew up in Saltash (& joined the RN)
Great video. It would be interesting to see how the lures behave in flight because if distance is your thing SG Pencils fly out without a heavy landing too. I wonder if casting is good with them on most rods? BTW good to see it go wrong. That seems to happen to me when I have an audience..
I hear you Paul, but how would one go about filming lures in flight? Would be bloody good to see, but with my limited skills I can't really see how I can do it.
@@henrygilbey302 I wonder if a drone could do it. I quite like the idea of using a quality drone to survey marks but to be honest, the decent stuff costs bucks not to mention carrying all the kit around. Perhaps the real point is. How far does the rod that doesn't recover cast that Pencil? Tight lines.
What’s you go to size fishing rod that you feel comfortable using and get most distance casting with, I like using a 11ft abu Garcia venerate rod it’s good casting and can pull a decent bass around nice and easily 🎣
my go-to rod length? Probably 9' or 9'6'', but we have a 9'2'' coming which has become my go-to in a big way. I must admit to never worrying about whether the rod can land the fish we might hook, they all can, but most anglers never pull bass very hard anyway.
I noticed you don't feather the braid and seem to reel a lot of slack line in after the cast. How on earth do you not get wind knots with that method Henry? What is this witchcraft you possess?
A brilliant breakdown on the physics of blank. Not seen a better visual of blank recovery! Thank you. I found this very interesting.
Thank you kindly!
hi Henry, awsome video again, all your videos have been a massive help to me, learning how to lure fish, thanks great work

Good job Henry! It's interesting seeing the blanks under compression.
thanks John
Brilliant video Henry. Very well explained. 👍
thanks so much
2:13 when someone is watching you fishing 😂😂😂
i hate when you catch a big fish and everyone stops and stares at you when you trying to reel it in
exactly!!!!!

the rods do what they say if that is any help, rods are obviously very personal things, but I am beyond proud of these things
@@henrygilbey302 Cant argue with that, im due a new rod so i'll be picking one up. Great work
@@Eoghanbass2000 did you pick it up? How has it Ben if so
I think you nailed it at the end. You don’t catch Bass in mid air 😂🎣👍
exactly, and thank you for noticing that bit
When I was a kid the only rods I could afford were heavy fibreglass and rubbish. I am still amazed how good even cheap rods are these days.
Yep, it's amazing how good rods can be these days for not a whole lot of dosh
just brilliant Henry :-)
most kind, thank you!
Great video once again. Will there be a travel rod as part of this new savage gear range?
Not yet is all I can currently say!

oh savage gear rod leaked :PPP
Unless I have messed up I am now in the right timescale to be able to fully talk about these rods..............
@@henrygilbey302 give us some teasers lol
