This is so appreciated. The how and WHY is really important for me as I learn.
To all surf fishermen!! #1 tip for better distance is to just use LIGHT LINE. 10 lb braid is PLENTY for a 5/8 oz lucky craft or whatever plug you are using, up to about an ounce. I know it seems scary to fling your precious lures out on such light line but as long as you use line that has a true LB test rating you will completely fine. I've landed fish up to #30 on 10lb braid so it is completely sufficient for most striped bass and any size surfperch you could ever hope to hook in to. Enough ranting for now, tight lines everyone!
Good tip! Should have mentioned that in the vid, thanks for sharing.
Too scared to go under 15😭
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Simple and easy video to follow. I hope to see you out there one day. I used to do shore fishing in Santa Cruz 29 years ago. Be safe and tight line.
Hope to see you on the water too! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your tips and videos. Like watching them very good job sir
Really helpful bro.. im jus new to this but ur videos keep inspiring..keep posting
Thanks for the great pointers.
Thanks mate! very helpful for an amateur like us!
Awesome bro love how you did this video down by the beach!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing, your knowledge is useful as usual. Great to see you out there again. 4 hours and 1 min is when the fish starts to bite, who knows!
Thanks for watching! Keep casting!
Thank you Adam Love your videos
Have you ever tried pulling with the bottom hand instead of pushing with the top hand? Your right/top hand being the fulcrum and the rod becomes a lever when you pull with bottom/left hand. I am 60 years old and if I come over the top like you appear to be doing, my arm will start to hurt rather quickly. The rod tip moves faster with less effort using the rod as a lever.
🎣 Yes, need to gain the most casting potential by using both arms/hands correctly,! ...
Imagine a swivel point between both hands, the axle of the casting action.
That is how I look at it.
I sometimes practice casting without a reel on a rod, if I don't go fishing for a time. Also with only casting arm movements.
I find it keeps me used to it, muscle memory is what I've heard people say of things,!
Plenty of practice and one will feel more confident when going fishing,!
The stance is important too, both feet on the sand or ground from start to completion of casts,!
I enjoy watching various casting videos, it helps too,! 🎣
Great tutorial thank you man!
Pretty informative great job
That's a nice Daiwa! Buying the same exact reel myself soon😁 I am looking for a good surfcasting rod as well. Might be getting a tsunami airwave 9ft medium heavy action.
Great video bro! I really enjoy this one!👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, these are really good tips, (letting some line out at the tip, using the rod fspring and whipping the rod. I could never cast very far. I've been fishing as a kid and was never taught how to fish. My uncles were really good fishermen and had boats, (they were poor and my granfatherhad a boat and was a fisherman). Too bad I get seasick, (3 for 3 times, although I do surf, with no problems). They also used conventional reels. I am now picking it up again, (I'm 67, post covid and retiring and live in Hawaii) I want to downsize and trying to live off the land and sea, (being a vegan/pescatarian helps. I got a free Kayak, and will look at your other videos!
This was great thank you!
Good video, thanks much.
What is the best POWER and the best ACTION specs of the Rod, if I wanna cast as farther as possible
thank you man this was helpful uve earned my sub
Excellent!! Thanks!
Great info , thank you
Thanks for watching!
That is something that is very overlooked when it comes to distance casting, how much line you have hanging from the rod tip. With at least two feet of line hanging you reduce the startup speed of the spool when using a baitcaster or conventional reel. This leads to a reduced chance of backlashes and of course longer distance casts. Tight lines out there!
Opposite for me. I struggle badly to cast with that much line loose. I never have more than like 4 inches of line hanging
Looks like a low swell and cloudy on Feb 15th. Should be a good day for rock fishing in Cen Cal.
Nice!!!
Great tip no 5
Very informative
Nice tip bro
Maybe try lighter braid to your mono leader using an fg knot or another connection. Attach your lure to your mono via a swivel and split ring connection.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Nice job and great tips. Better luck catching next time.
Thanks for watching!
Great info on setup and technique. Any tips on reading the surf would help.
Coming in a video soon!
Great video, great tips! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Die Hard Fishing you bet!👍👍
thanks very helpful
how do you keep your braid from twisting using a spinning reel surf fishing?
I usually do a pretty long leader using the fg knot that goes inside the guides.. is that gunna shorten my cast ?
I always like catch and cook, i like Asian food, I like collaborations too.
What about casting a crab snare can you do a video on that?
Hey what rod was this that you have? I am just starting to get into surf fishing and looking to purchase a do it all rod. Thanks!
How do you sink your artificial bait when you reel it in? Do you add some sort of weight?
I like to hook my lure straight to a swivel rather than straight to my line because I like how quickly I can change lures, do you see any problems with my style? Shaun from Australia.
best way to cast out far... use a *Tall long cast 35mm- 45mm shallow spool reels " Long Cast Surf reels" that has slow oscillation when retrieving as well .......
I need a new rod, old one broke, I fish walleyes ,most are 5 lbs. or less, how long would you recommend for boat casting in Minnesota, lures up to 3/4 oz, thanks and enjoy your channel, except the sharks,you wouldn't catch me out there lol
I love it bro
Can you throw a crab snare with this rod or do you recommend another one ?
Great video.
How about a vid on swapping out trebles on those tiny split rings. I have shakey hands and bad eyesight, so it takes me 30-45 min to swap 1 hook. Very frustrating getting old. Thanks
Try split ring pliers! Very helpful tool when swapping out hooks
@@DieHardFishing thanks for the reply. I use the split ring pliers and it's still difficult. I was hoping you or someone have a secret technique to make it easier. :-)
How about a video on how to do a kayak surf launch and landing properly.
Thanks for the suggestion!
How far did you cast with your setup on average? Any tips on reading the water would be good. There isn't very many easy to understand videos on how to read where there are trenches in the water. If you use a fish finder on your kayak a video on how to read that or technique to find fishing spots would be helpful all the videos I see shows what fish look like on a fish finder but not really how to read the bottom and what to look for when out on the water.
Thank you for the suggestions!
Can do you a video on how you make your videos? I’m looking into making my very own videos and wanna know the ins and outs of creating said video. Thank you!
Thanks for the tip!
When you cast is the non dominant hand pushing down or is it more the dominant hand? Also how can I apply this to casting crab snares? That’s my weak spot. Thanks DH
Use the dominant hand below the reel, lock your elbow in place for entire cast.. Non-dominant had is at end of rod, and when are casting ..non-dominant is pulling down sharp and hard as you need to, for the distance needed. Will work same for crab snares, just tape or protect finger at bail.
What’s your preferred knots for braid-swivel and swivel-mono-hook setup?
To be honest, I have no idea what the knots are called, lol. I will put in a future video though.
I am new to fishing but I noticed u opened the bail arm, once u throw the bait wouldn't the line all come undone??
Also you didn't use any weights (sinkers)??.....is that not required??
sorry for dumb questions, just trying to learn
🎣 if you overfull the grinder reel spool, up to the rim, then the line flowing out as you cast will pull a lot of line coils off the spool, making a bunch,! ...
He was casting with a lure, usually a weight is not required, but a sliding sinker can be used on the main line, to cast further, 🎣
Thanks for the tips, wondering if you have heard this but I heard that when you are catching fish and releasing them that upon release the fish lets out a chemical marker warning the other fish to either not bite, or swim away fron the area, what do you think or what have if anything have you heard of this? Thanks again youre skills are too notch.!! for the dream yewwwww 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Thanks for watching! that would be an interesting thing to test, if only I had a degree in Chemistry lol
Hope I run into you, I live in San Jose. I fish the same beaches you do.
Hope to see you on the water too!
Im loving shore then pier... How bout how to on tides n lure vs cut bait vs jig challenge? 😁
Thanks for the suggestions!
So at 3:16 when you hold the line with your finger, I’m having an issue where the line gets caught on my finger/Slices my finger when I cast. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong because the line does in fact go far but I keep getting my finger with the line. Any help on what I’m doing wrong?
🎣 I hope by now you have fitted a casting trigger on your rod, opposite of spool, out to the side a little, in position, for your (front) finger to grip onto,!
They help with casting and protect the finger.
Or a finger glove can help too, 🎣
Please do a video on rod action and power and the comparison of different types. Seems very confusing!
Thanks for the suggestion!
How about a video on reel maintenance .I recently started fishing again after about 14 years of absence and one of my reels is really hard to crank so i just bought another one but i would like to get my oldie but goodie back in the game again!
Can be tricky as each has a little bit of difference to take apart/assemble. Main thing is once home from beach Rinse that thing reel and rod with hose/clean water. Towel drying is ok but not necessary...dry cool and no sunlight is main concern. Might even want to protect rod with a bit of car wax.
+1
🎣 can watch, 2nd Chance tackle by Dennis.
TSG reel repairs service.
Is another one, on UA-cam, 🎣
If you dont mind im here in monterey and walked the dunes yesterday fidnt catch anything where should i go
There are plenty of fish in your area from what I here, keep at it!
Ill Go out and practice
Maybe my rod has issue, it just bounce left to right 😂 the wind blows my lure right back
daggum bass always in the middle of the pond
Hell yea number one
Thanks for watching!
nice
Hey Die Hard, question bro. My casts come out hot, then baloon and the just die out. Does that mean I'm releasing too early or it's too windy. I ended up releasing passed 90° and it comes out like a bullet (But a bit farther). Thx man
Cant answer for him but I learned the casting motion by pulling down on the left hand which leads up the rod, meaning the tip is flexing and not moving as much when you start the cast. This comes from starting a little slower and increasing speed up to the point of release. I think your cast is more of a flick by either your wrists or starting too quick. Try starting slower and feel for the rod getting heavy in your first half of the cast motion. You will know it when you find it but does take some practice. I had an advantage from learning golf before casting, similar concepts.
Hope it helps.
@@gunslingergg78 dude that's a very good way of explaining it and now I got a good mental visual. I golf too so im thinking the tempo is similar to the swishing the club holding the club head? Slow backswing and increase the speed though? I'll go try this out the next time I'm out in the surf. Thanks Gavin!
@@ronaldgonzales3415 , yes, if you hear in the video, he gets that swoosh and maybe if he could post a slow motion you can see how the rod loads just like a golf club does.
Good information all around, my best advice would be to play around with different techniques and see what works best, just like golf!!!!
Damn nice tips. I love fishing but i never catch jack sh**t
Keep at it!!!
About to leave to Santa Barbara for dredging gonna do some surf fishing on my off time!
Troy Anderson some good fishing around SANTA Barbara
Good luck out there!
With what #2
On a beautiful day like that on the beach at the end of day grab a mask and snorkel and give us an under water view, regardless of the water being cold.
I'm afraid the water might be a bit cold for that in my area.
Omg, I've been holding the rod wrong when I cast. That's why it never got far
That rod is super hard to find lol

Umm, no, not exactly. "Thumper" overhead casts will never allow long distances; lots of wasted energy that never gets into the rod, line and payload. Revolving spool reels will render the longest casting distance, but spinners can be made to gain distance as well. Most rod payload ratings are "generous" - do not rely on the labeled rod info! - and each rod will probably have a very narrow payload "sweet spot" that can only be discovered with testing weights over grass first. Longer rods will allow more line to hang off the rod tip prior to casting, which in turn will allow longer casting distance *IF* a *GOOD* casting technique is employed, no matter if the reel is a spinner or revolver. It's *ALL* about casting technique! Read that again. That's numero uno for really long casts. After that it's about the rod, then the reel and line. A proper OTG (off the ground cast) is the best and easiest cast type to learn and accomplish first, and can add 25 to 50 yards to any current overhead "thumper" cast that wastes energy and distance. I would highly recommend viewing Tommy Farmer and John Holden youtube videos ... and ... Practice!
Rod ratings are for loading the rod to get the proper action out them an over loaded rod will eventually break. I broke a ($39.99) 9' 4 -20 lbs Ugly stik like this, because it's lure rating was only up 5/8ths of an once. I was using a two once weight on it. On the pole itself it does not have a lure rating, only their website shows the lure rating for their GX2 rods. I have much cheaper ($14.99) 6' 6" 6-14lbs Diawa rod that regular push 25% past it's 3/4 once weight rating. When I use a 1 once bottom bouncer. I'm just wondering when it will probably crack or break from it.
1/16th of an inch. 😂😂 it's about 2 mm. Americans are hilarious. Join the rest of the world with cm and mm.
that's less than 2mm buddy it's 1.58 milimeters
1 / 16 inches = 1.5875 millimeters < straight off bing conversion
@@kevinerbs2778 The amount that he was talking about that he could add to his reel was about 2mm, which just proves my point that you cant be accurate with inches. By the way who the hell wants to convert from imperial? No one else uses it.
@@chomes8048 Measurement Is Measurement.
Be pound grams or onces, you're an idiot to think otherwise.
"A mil is a unit of length that is equal to one-thousandth of an inch. It is also known as a thou or a thousandth. There are 1000 mils in an inch"
