Great explanation of setting up an overhead outfit. I’ll be doing that myself again soon. If you haven’t seen them yet, the Bees Knees reel spooler from Busted Fishing is probably the best unit for spooling your reels at home. I bought mine a few years ago after deliberating about it for a while, and after using it the first time, I was kicking myself for not having bought one earlier. It’s a really well engineered and made piece of kit.
Stoked your making these tutorial style videos. You seem to have a stacks of really good info. A lot of stuff gets overlooked by ‘pros’ and the basic is just what the masses love. thanks for sharing ledge
Thanks, Matty! Very useful for a beginner at this stuff, especially the part about spooling the line properly. Looking forward to trying this setup a long way from your Aussie homeland. Seward, Alaska. Cheers!
Matt are you serious... a fishless video 😀, that's the only video where you don't catch a fish but still cool, learning something new every day is just priceless, i am still practicing your fg technic... long way to go
It often sucks when the weather turns crap in CQ, Bowen to Burnett Heads. For me it’s because the UA-cam videos from my old stomping ground slow down. It’s amazing how much you can depend on them for your enthusiasm (and to hopefully stay partially sane). Thanks for a good informative video Matt. Picked up some good tips for our next holiday north.
very cool to mention bout taking the jig off wen travelling Matty. i c it at the boat ramp all the time n u can hear the jig slapping around wen they r under way.
Can you do a video even just a short one and show us all your rods and reels and what you use them for or don’t use them. Would love to see where you draw the line between requirements and wants/ didn’t need.
Thanks Matty, this is very useful for beginners in this, especially the part about scrolling lines properly. Hope to try this setup, your tutorial is so fun I don't even feel like watching your video for 23 minutes, good luck my friend, slam sejahtra from Indonesia,
We've caught 150lb tarpon on that knot. That's my #1 knot I've been using for 25yrs now. I just figured that one out back then. I consider it the Haas Knot! ;)
My experience rebels against not tying the braid onto my reel. The wingspan method of working out how long to make the leader is the same as I do. You are a gun at tying the FG knot
Dam it thanks for that info had issues with both of mine love the reels but it does bite the line tackle shop said it was something I was doing Diawa told me to take it back and have them spool it again thanks for info again
How ya going mate love the vids and what you do. Matty I goto say thank you. I got like 8 twitch it's 4.5 inch just got back from fishing trip up the WA coast 6 days. Matty I am stoked with the product you have produced it's fire mate works amazing
Still blown away your using a bait caster for saltwater jigging. Sitting here trying to choose a reel for my PE 3-6 overhead. The spooling lesson is brilliant
Gidday Matt, great vid. I bought a Lexa 300HP on your recommendation. To save some time setting it up when I finally get on the water, what weight/setting do you have on your magbrake dial for say a 120g jig?
They preform even better! Ive used my lexa 400 TW for 11 months and caught about 700lbs of fish, with constant salt exposure. Its held up flawlessly and had 0 parts replaced at service! Its outlasted my tranxes by far
Ohhh Mr. Matt, Unfortunately, it's very difficult to buy Lexa here... Lexa is not sold in Indonesia even though it's very interesting... thx u for this video Mr. Matt🙏
I use lexa for jigging too, but I don’t like the new one with t wing system because sometimes the line can wrap on the t wing as it flip when you open the bail. This could be a nightmare when your jig just hit the bottom and you find out your line wrap on the t wing and you snag the bottom while the boat is drifting away.
Thank you so much on this video. Since I've just brought the bee knees spooler and noticed the colour powder coming off the braid, you explained it well and why to include a wet rag. Also thanks for the heads up on the jigs. Soon I will be going out (howick island) to test these out. Love your videos and the star of the show the little fella.
Het Matt, great set-up. Good info. When are you comming over to the west? me casa su casa. Both my wife and me require your expert skill on how to land some quality fish.
Love ya work looking for a recommendation and a good start out rod real that can do a bit of everything from jigging to casting stick baits on the flats what would you buy
Perfect vid. I hope you won't mind if I buy that exact setup. I've seen you muscle some superb fish with a similar setup. Could you do a recommended casting rod that would be light tackle for barramundi, Queenie, tusk fish rod maybe maxing out at big shallow water Chinamen. That would be a sweet set up as well.
greetings from your subscriber from Indonesia... really like all of your content.. looks like the old reel can be givenaway to Indonesia... greetings curved fishing rod #Indonesia
Nice light set up, i wouldnt want to hook anything big on it but if you have a rough idea what size fish you will encounter it looks great. It is WAY too light for most of my fishing here in Norway but it does look good for our coalfish wich basicly is a cold water kingie and for atlantic cod wich is my fav eating fish so i'll check the rod and reel out.
Bloody awesome content bro, I’m just about to add a jig outfit to my arsenal so this was perfect timing. When u get out next can u go thru some techniques on jigging. Some videos u don’t even get to jig an your on haha but Surely there’s a few ways to jig an I reckon a lot would get something outta it, cheers bro
just bought a similar set up - perfect video for me ......... I'm obviously behind the times .... no mono backing? - just what Iv'e always done - definitely easier!! cheers
Yeah it was to stop the slippage on the spool and meant you didn’t have to buy as much braid back then because it was so expensive but now just run braid
We need to remember how lucky we are now with fishing reels. There’s a reasonable price point that gets you a reel that’s fairly close to the top end stuff for a fraction of the price. The gap between a Stella and the mid price reels is only the price now.
Hey Matt, greetings from across the ditch. I see in the video you’re holding a 7.1:1 but on videos from a year ago you’re 0:02 using the 6.3:1. I fish mostly 50m/120-150 g jigs. Any comments on the differences please? Cheers Richy
Awesome run through on the jig gear!! Spot on about the spooling machines, ive seen and had some bad jobs done, people even looking the other way talking while they are doing it 🤦♂, your a bad influence though, ive already got some nomad/daiwa combos because of you, both definitely great bits of gear. fingers crossed this wind and rain goes away soon.
@@PelagicPursuit89 I got out the front of Mackay a few weeks ago and got a couple long tail but that’s been it for ages, fingers crossed we don’t have another trade wind blow like last year 🤞
im confused about getting the OJ 1500 or the OJ 2000. i fish the tropics in Bali and never go under 150 meters of water but the jigs get quite heavy (500-700g). can the smaller 1500 handle this type of jigs? any advice is welcome thank you!!
(Rad dad) hHaha awsome bro love how your black a d white mate ya absolutely spot on with everything your saying Iv said it before and ill say it again I learn so much every time I watch your videos mate thanks so much
Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to explain your setup. You are using mono as a leader, have you ever used a piece of wire as trace/leader?
Just unscrew the two little screws holding the nut plate and lift the nut plate off. Then undo the nut with a spanner, remove the handle and then reinstall it in the other hole. Tighten gently and then realign the nut plate and put the screws back in.
Hey mate love ya vids been watching for a while, setting myself up to get into jigging, just wondering does your line touch the blank when loaded up, just bought an over head slow pitch jigging rod and found it touches in a few spots under load

Definitely take the jigs off, unless you use a wrap or something to stop them banging around. Quick recipe for a broken rod.
Little guy was so excited to finally get on camera! Awesome video as always!
haha specially after his morning poo he was ready to go
Great clip mate. I’ll be doing this with the young fella over the holidays 🤙🏻🎣
Love your content Matt, great to see how you rig your gear up.
These are the vids I've been waiting for haha great vid Matty
Unreal advice and demo mate, can't wait for the next videos on jigging!!
Can you do a video even just a short one and show us all your rods and reels and what you use them for or don’t use them.
Would love to see where you draw the line between requirements and wants/ didn’t need.
for sure

Perfect weather for spooling reels and polishing the boat at the moment. Hopefully the fish are hungry when it stops blowing
Really good info! Thanks for sharing! Your baby is adorable!
yeah he's definitely a good looking little dude
Dam it thanks for that info had issues with both of mine love the reels but it does bite the line tackle shop said it was something I was doing Diawa told me to take it back and have them spool it again thanks for info again
Aunque no hablo inglés si veo todos tus videos son muy interesantes a pesar q pescas en un paraíso maravilloso saludos un seguidor desde miami
I like the tape to spool method and the length of leader
Is this reel and rod for yellow tail, dorado and blue fin tuna? Awesome video 📹.
How ya going mate love the vids and what you do. Matty I goto say thank you. I got like 8 twitch it's 4.5 inch just got back from fishing trip up the WA coast 6 days. Matty I am stoked with the product you have produced it's fire mate works amazing

Love it mate, great tutorial. You’re a legend Matty.
Great info. Rod is nspjoh682-4 for those wondering.
Still blown away your using a bait caster for saltwater jigging. Sitting here trying to choose a reel for my PE 3-6 overhead. The spooling lesson is brilliant
Ocea jigger or have a look at the maxel range
Also pe 3-6 is huge difference mate what sort of fish will you target
@@outtheblue9470 break sea (black arse) and western red snapper (nannies). Esperance based.
@@outtheblue9470 was looking at a HG30 Torium
The Lexa comes in a larger 400 size I’ve got mine spooled with 380 pe 4 j braid

Hey matty could we see a tackle storage video. Be good to see what gear you use for storing stuff on your boat for big trips.
Cheers!
That lexa looks so good! I'll be waiting for the next video mate especially on the sounder tutorial ;)
They preform even better! Ive used my lexa 400 TW for 11 months and caught about 700lbs of fish, with constant salt exposure. Its held up flawlessly and had 0 parts replaced at service! Its outlasted my tranxes by far
Ohhh Mr. Matt, Unfortunately, it's very difficult to buy Lexa here... Lexa is not sold in Indonesia even though it's very interesting... thx u for this video Mr. Matt🙏
Busted Fishing has a good system for spooling reels, I am sure you would have seen it.
hello friend could you tell me the name of the knot you make at the solid ring thank you very much I always follow you congratulations for your videos
Some good tips thanks.
Yay a gear vid! Been waiting for one.
I use lexa for jigging too, but I don’t like the new one with t wing system because sometimes the line can wrap on the t wing as it flip when you open the bail.

Use Tasline Elite Braid and won't have no Colour coming of Because there isn't any. It's Pure Braid natural White
How to/tips series will be mint 👌🏻
Thanks, Great information.
Het Matt, great set-up. Good info. When are you comming over to the west? me casa su casa. Both my wife and me require your expert skill on how to land some quality fish.
Lovely video for beginners. Thank you very much. May I know what is the brand or model of the split ring plier that you are using?.
actually crazy I was searching for this exact vid like 2 weeks ago wanting to know what baitcasters! :)
Love ya work looking for a recommendation and a good start out rod real that can do a bit of everything from jigging to casting stick baits on the flats what would you buy
Awesome content mate
Great idea using the wet rag to get that braid n tight, good job 👍
Good video. I like the FG but haven't seen anyone tie it the way you did. Do you have a video on that? I don't see it it in the drop down. Thx
Perfect vid. I hope you won't mind if I buy that exact setup. I've seen you muscle some superb fish with a similar setup.

Ive been searching that lexa for a least 2 years and its not availabel on my region.
Now you own a new one.
Feel free to ship me that old lexa :p
Geez Matty, that was unreal mate, great tutorial. Can I ask on the second rig (single hook on each end) do you tie off to the jig itself?
yeah mate tie straight to the top of the jig
Good info Matt how you do your set ups.great video
(Rad dad) hHaha awsome bro love how your black a d white mate ya absolutely spot on with everything your saying Iv said it before and ill say it again I learn so much every time I watch your videos mate thanks so much
haha thanks mate
Thanks heaps Matty, what's your thoughts on putting a swivel on the split ring too and tying to that with your jigs?
Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to explain your setup. You are using mono as a leader, have you ever used a piece of wire as trace/leader?
what a lovely kid!
dude youve done some practice on that fg for sure! aweseome
hahaha may have tied a few
Thanks great info 👍🏼
Thank you for this video Matty🤙
How do you adjust the handle to the longer setting, I tried a socket but it was no good I didn’t want to bur it, is there a Daiwa tool?
Just unscrew the two little screws holding the nut plate and lift the nut plate off. Then undo the nut with a spanner, remove the handle and then reinstall it in the other hole. Tighten gently and then realign the nut plate and put the screws back in.
Is that the same knot that you use to tie to your hook when you bottom fish?
What size Lexa do you normally use when you are targeting bottom species in deeper water?
You Really need to Get a Bee's knees Line Spooler
Informative vid once again! Do you use the same rod for jigging and casting lures with that Lexa setup? If not, what rod do you use?
Thanks for your info.
great commentary
Hi mate, thanks for sharing, wondering what length rod you are using?
Which model of the Daiwa TW are you using? I was looking at the high gear model with 109 cm retrieve but was worried about losing power.
Who else stopped focusing on the hook and rather shifted their full attention on this adorable angle behinde?
Like your up and coming fishing partner probably out do the old boy when the time comes
Hey mate, do you find much difference between the 6’8” and the 6’2” rods?
YEA MATTY I Been Wondering what Rods And Reels You use... How's it going Parkyyyy... 👋🏼🥳👋🏼
hes a legend hey. have a sneaky feeling number 2 might be the crazy one haha
Awsome fishing tackle , i hope i can have it
Everytime a customer comes in ill always make sure the line fees like a solid object
Hey mate love ya vids been watching for a while, setting myself up to get into jigging, just wondering does your line touch the blank when loaded up, just bought an over head slow pitch jigging rod and found it touches in a few spots under load
yeah a lot do that's why they designed spiral wrap guides but you pay a lot more for them. I haven't found it effects anything if it touches
@@PelagicPursuit89 ok sweet, cheers legend 👍
Is a medium rod to thick for a 20-60gr jig?
Matt Matt... your opinion about choosing mono vs fluoro leader? is there a substantial difference between them to pay 100dlls more ?
Great vid. I tie about 30m of mono to the reel then tie the braid to that. Is there a disadvantage in doing this?
not at all mate especially if you're just dropping straight down and not casting. if you're casting it may cause a few dramas
Finally, you are doing a video about your sets. The daiwa lexsa, can be used for casting as well?
Yes, absolutely
specs only show 240yrds on 30lb for the 300...is that accurate or is there that much of a difference with the ammonite?
Hey Marty, I’m thinking of purchasing a new Lexa 19 300HS-P. Going to be using it for jigging and some bait fishing, what are your thoughts on em!
ive used them now for a few years and couldn't speak highly enough about them. great for jigging, bait and even swim baits if you wanted to
@@PelagicPursuit89 cheers I got my self one, sent Ryan a pic and he helped me with a rod
why go with a lexa over a tranx?
Good info bro.. thanks for sharing.. 😇
Awesome vid mate .. how do you rate the ocea braid ?
never used it mate
Hi Matty great vid. Just wondering a beginner like me looking to buy my first jigging rod set up what rod would you recommend?
that exact setup mate, the rods are really well priced and the reels can be used for multiple reasons
@@PelagicPursuit89 what height rod is the one you used in that video?
Is this rod and reel set up good for red snapper fishing?
