Happy New Year Steve. It's funny how you brought up that you were involved in developing the squidgies. I have a Starlo and Bushy squidgy case from back in the day. Anyway, tight lines, mate and I hope to catch you on the water one day.
Happy New Year mate - great video and newsletter as usual ;-) I have also switched to the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pros and am loving them with the remote Mic 2's for audio as well. I have also been wearing prescription sunglasses for a few years now and probably should have started earlier 😊 All the best to you and Jo for 2025 🥳🎉🎉🎉
Good on ya Starlo. Wishing you all the best for 2025 and can't wait to see what you get up to this year. I've recently bought some Fish bites off you and I'm so keen to put them to the test. So many times I want to go for a quick bait fish before or after work and getting bait is normally a deterrent so hopefully this takes away 1 excuse!
Hey Steve, happy new year to you also. I’m trying to chase down a decent how to on tying fishing knots. I’m the same vintage as yourself but have only ever used the 2 knots my late uncle showed me back when I was a kid. Not sure if you published something at all over the years that I can chase down. You wouldn’t remember me obviously but in the early days whenever you & bushy got together at the fishing shows I was there without fail, great memories…….ive loaned my boxed set of how to use squidgies to my son which I must get back off him sooner than later 😢 take care, love your work and stay safe. Cheers mate 🍻
Yes, I would like to see an insight into setting up cameras for filming. Thank you for the discount code, Steve. I just purchased some accessories from DNA. Cheers, Pete .
Thanks Starlo. Will check out some of the gear you mentioned. Would love a behind scenes look at how you plan, film and edit your vids. Your production quality has always been really good. Can you show us how you do it?
Mate, 💯 with the DJI action. Used gopro for a few yrs and lost more footage than I care to remember 😡 For a camera with so much history there dammed buggy. Hence, bought the DJI action and considering I used it in the harsh conditions of the Goldfields has performed flawlessly. Go the DJI action 👍,so much better in every way.
I bought a JDM Dialuna bait cast home from Japan. Fantastic rod. Handled Mondy Barra perfectly in spring. I like it so much I’ve started using it when I’m vibing for jewies.
I’d wouldn’t mind seeing how you film and set up, Just bought the 13 go pro.but I’m not real good at it. I just want to film the 4 grandson fishing and sports. Got it on my phone as well now.
Hey mate. Some technical advice if you can. 24 Poison Adrena 6102ULSP. It says it has a radical taper and fast action. I understand the action but not the radical taper ???
Yes, bloody hard to track down. Like most great stuff they’ll supersede it after 6 months and replace it with something not as good. Makes me tear out what’s left of my hair. 🤪
Get onto Mako Eyewear on-line or give them a call (they're in Sydney) and find out where your closest optometrist that stocks them is or, if you have a recent prescription, you can probably just order some..
Been eyeing the Dialuna since your review, seemed like not many stores ended up stocking it in Aus and the 10 footer was sold out everywhere online. Luckily after this video I done a search and bought the last one at 20% off. Excited to put in some work at my local beach! Happy new year from a now 28 year old who was a big fan of the DVD's and all your work when Squidgies hit our shores many moons ago. #bringbacktheflickbait
Happy new year Starlo. I've been enjoying your Aussie fishing adventures and tutorials. As a newbie to fishing my head aches from trying to decide a rod for soft lure casting for land or shore based fishing (sea sickness on boats) since I cannot find a place that can offer try before you buy. Can you suggest a particular rod to look at please. Your experience gives me comfort in getting a good start. Thank you for making your videos.
It's a tough one for sure, maybe try a 7 1/2 footer or thereabouts? I've been very impressed by the new Artiesta models from Shimano, but some of their more affordable ranges are also excellent. Depends a lot on what line strength and lure weight you want to use.
@@42fishing69 I still use iMovie, the free one that comes with Macs! I’m pushing it to the limit, but I love it! I think I’m too old to learn DaVinci, but it’s definitely the way to go.
Hey starlo madive fan here me and my dad have listened to all of your starlo gets reel podcast on Spotify and i jave watched nearly all of your videos i would like some beach fishing tips at coila (i have a house in tuross head) and if you are ever beach fishing or in lavender bay i might run into you (it would be a dream. Ill be looking out for the beachmaster stubby) good luck for 2025 hope you catch a new pb!
Yep... It's my opinion! 😊 And my pick. That was pretty clearly stated right up front. I'm not really in a position to present anyone else's opinion but my own. You're entitled to yours, too. Have a nice day.

Beginner here... Something I don't understand and keep seeing over again, is many people say don't use thick mono, that it scares fish off from taking the bait... but then every braid seems to be a bright fluorescent colour like glaring visuals don't matter after all.
Yep, as Neil stated, that's why we always use a leader of clear nylon or fluorocarbon, with braid usually about a rod length long. As well as serving several other important purposes, this leader separates the often highly visible braid from the lure or bait.
Fishing is a game of percentages. Increase the percentages in your favour and you'll increase your success rate. Bait or lure presentation is right up there. So thinner line can help plus it is easier to cast. For braid I use bright colours so that I can see it better and it casts like a rocket with light lures. Attaching a flurocarbon leader also reduces visibility at the action end. There is more to successful fishing than you might think. As a beginner if you stick with it, you have a lot of fun, (and frustration), ahead of you. Good luck.
Hey Starlo a bit off topic. I have many fond memories of reading articles by yourself and Ron Calcutt. Is Ron still with us? Is so what is he up to, do you catch up? An interview with Ron would make great viewing.
Most fish are caught when it's low light conditions or murky water. On a beach with clear water on a bright day, you'll need to use the thinnest clear line you can.
Thank you very much, Starlo.

Hey mate. Some technical advice if you can.
24 Poison Adrena 6102ULSP.
It says it has a radical taper and fast action.
I understand the action but not the radical taper ???
I think that's just a marketing term, to be honest. It basically means the rod tapers pretty quickly: a fast taper. It's a very nice rod.
@ cheers mate. Hopefully I can get those Ligens to work with it 😉
yes please vid on how you use the DJI cameras would be awesome Starlo
@@ivanmalby4312 will do. 👍
The dialuna looks like a real good rod
Also any chance of getting a video of chasing jewfish in the surf or in rivers around bridges Landbase also ?
Yes I love that Dialuna. I’ll see what I can do about the jewies. 👍
@ ok cheers starlo👍
I have a 8 foot Dialuna, such a great rod, so versatile and pretty much do everything
I bet! 👍 Great rods.
My favourite.
X wrap graphite rods.
A Shimano Coltsniper and Daiwa Saltist .
Light weight and strong.
Good picks!
sunglasses and coffee massive thing. I bought one of those shore casting rods but found it difficult to find the dialunas in even big on line stores.
Yes, bloody hard to track down. Like most great stuff they’ll supersede it after 6 months and replace it with something not as good. Makes me tear out what’s left of my hair. 🤪
Hi starlo could you recomend a bait fishing rod from the rocks / beach with a soft tip
Have a look at some of the models in the brand new Shimano Dynaflare range... should be something in there to suit. They're good value for money, too!
I was just looking at ultra small light reels, to match up with an old and favorite rod of mine.
Its an old Rex Hunt 3 piece power tip.
Nice! 👍
I'm pretty surprised to not see fishbites on the list haha, can only fit so many though.
Thanks for the video starlo
@@prizmatik8696 they were number 11. 😉
@@StarloGetsReel 😆
Your sports camera segment got me interested as I was going to buy a Go pro! Which store or online store do you recommend for the DJI Action 4?
I got mine direct from the Australian DJI store on-line. seems really good, and pretty quick: www.d1store.com.au/
As someone who's tempted to start making some videos of my own, I'd love to see how you go about it Starlo.
I'll see what I can do this year.
Hi Steve would really like a pair of those Mako prescription sunglasses where can I source them I live on the NSW South Coast. Cheers Peter

I picked up a Dialuna bait cast rod in Japan a few months ago.
Beautiful rod, if the beach rods are anywhere close they will be fantastic
That's awesome! It's a great rod! I'm glad you got hold of one. Yes, they are a bit hard to track down.

DJI make great products.
My favourite item I bought was a new 2500 Stella.
I have 5 different colours but I’m still to catch a fish on a Ligen 🤦♂️
Keep throwing those Ligens... they work!
You should make this 11 things, and add Tom's Resin jigheads. They look the goods.
🤦🏻♂️
@@mikekelly1771 for sure! And Fishbites. 👍
Wow i am super surprised that you didn’t put the fish bites on there
@@Timbo_Breambo they were number 11!
Filming tutorial please 🙏
I’ll see what I can do. 👍
I’ll vote for the Ligen
Yep, great lure.
My Shimano IX quickfire 1000 is smaller than the 500 🐊
Seriously?!
@@StarloGetsReel Absolutely that model is famous in the US I also have the 4000 Cheers.

That’s why you tie on a length of fluorocarbon at the end of the line for your terminal tackle.
Yep, as Neil stated, that's why we always use a leader of clear nylon or fluorocarbon, with braid usually about a rod length long. As well as serving several other important purposes, this leader separates the often highly visible braid from the lure or bait.

Hey Starlo a bit off topic. I have many fond memories of reading articles by yourself and Ron Calcutt.
Is Ron still with us?
Is so what is he up to, do you catch up?
An interview with Ron would make great viewing.
Most fish are caught when it's low light conditions or murky water.
On a beach with clear water on a bright day, you'll need to use the thinnest clear line you can.
