    Thank you for the episodes I really enjoy them. I am always impressed how when your Dad if fishing with you that you go to great lengths to make it easier for him and now you are bringing the 3rd generation into the team. That is one of the great things with fishing it can be enjoyed by all despite age differences. Tight lines always.

      Thanks for the comment Glenn, I love taking the old man out and doing what he did for me! I love that I’m able to take him out and show him what he shaped me into and teaching him what I’ve learnt! And to be able to pass it all down to my own boys is something I’m proud of!!! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!

      Thanks mate, yeah it’s good fun playing with a new lure concept and getting the feel for it! Especially with its conversion rate on some of the more difficult species. I just heard it caught 2 wrasse for one of the blokes I spoke to on Facebook and In Matt’s new video Nolzy gets 3 good reds straight up on it! Pretty good track record only 1 week out!

    I don't know if Nomad is giving you these jigs to use or not, but at over $20-$30 buck a pop or more for the biggest ones, I can't see using them over real squid or a big tube jig if you're going to be breaking them off all the time like in this video. I love the look and how they seem to work, but ouch every time they snap off!

    • @Micksgonefishing
      @Micksgonefishing  10 місяців тому +1

      It’s a gamble, bait = smaller, less desirable fish whereas lures are like a live bait when worked effectively so less undesirable bycatch, at $50 a block of squid I’d rather the challenge of catching a trophy fish on a lure, minus the bycatch. It depends how much you like catching small fish I suppose…

    • @kizzjd9578
      @kizzjd9578 8 місяців тому +1

      I agree, they are expensive but they work really well. They outfished jigs and bait last time I went out. Bait was getting sharked on 200lb leader pe6, jigs were catching the occasional fish. Squidtrex catching quality reef fish just sitting in the rod holder lol.
      They need to adjust the small swuidtrex though because the hook gets caught on itself.

    I notice these squidtrek came with assist hook. But will it kill the action if you replace them with a bigger assist hook? Also if you have a smaller size such as 110 and 90😭, will it kill the action if you add sinker at the bottom using that split ring for faster sinker?

    • @Micksgonefishing
      @Micksgonefishing  Рік тому

      I haven’t played with the setup enough to know what the sinker below will do but I think it will kill the action a little. A slight hook upgrade is fine!

    I don’t know if your allowed to say but I think from memory did you used to use oceans legacy jigging rods. Did you just change up for sponsorship. I’m looking for a slow pitch rod got a OL casting rod and I’m impressed with quality for price. Was hoping to get your thoughts. If your nomad sponsored or whatever and can’t say then all good 👍🏽

    • @Micksgonefishing
      @Micksgonefishing  Рік тому +4

      I’m not sponsored for rods or tackle at all mate, I am sponsored by BKK and Tide Apparel and that’s it. I’ve still got my legacy rods but I’ve had them for a long time and I’ve been playing with some other stuff lately. A standard slow pitch rod for vibing isn’t really ideal, that’s why I’ve gone to the heavy tipped pe 3-6 nomad rod for vibing. Hoping to help develop the ultimate vibing rod soon as I feel that’s something that’s missing in the market…

    Just been on a long fishing trip and used the squidtrex extensively - didnt find them very good - triggerfish chewed the tentacles off.
    Fished no better than a normal soft plastic and jighead which is far cheaper especially if sharks are around.

    • @Micksgonefishing
      @Micksgonefishing  Рік тому

      Sounds like you got a few fish then, if the triggers were that bad then you’d naturally change to a cheaper offering if it worked just as good, in the last year I’ve used them I find they’re better on quiet days when not a lot else is happening
