Having the right setups makes a huge difference my dad got me new sea gear for Christmas and my birthday and it made it so easy for me to land big fish. I am 8 only 4 stone and I landed a shark yesterday far bigger than me. it is video like this one that really helps anglers fish better keep up the good work
Excellent video making on your channel, glad to have found a TH-cam fishing channel that doesn't have crazy music in the background, keep up the excellent work 👍
Love your vids, and Dave seems a good guy, but his Shimano Pro Team hat, and the fact that every single rod & reel is Shimano, makes him seem prone to being biased. No big deal, but if he's a Shimano-sponsored guide, you should probably disclose that in the vid. Lastly, it wasn't clear what the 14 year old hali spreader bar reel was, as he just mentioned it in passing... Abervil, or something like that? Helpful vid... just shopping for the right hali reel. Thanks!
The Technium rods are pretty bomb proof. It’s a series of rods from Shimano that you can get for mooching, baitcasting, spinning. The Shimano mooching reels are also relatively cheap and low maintenance if you don’t want to invest on a higher end reel like an Islander. Dave has four of these setups in all his ten guide boats and they’re pretty solid season after season.
Murphy's lodge is not a float lodge actually, but it is really awesome! 😊 If you get a chance to go up I totally recommend it, they usually have a waiting list for the following season because it gets booked up so far in advance. The squid twitching is more like a lift and drop until one gets stuck on your hook lol... but the exciting part is that you're using a salmon jig so when you see a chinook on the sounder, that's when you're really working that jig and sometimes one would grab it. That's when things get really exciting... Dave got me sold on those counter reels, I'm getting two this fall for lakes. 😂
@@FishingwithRod Thanks for the correction on the lodge Rod. I'd like to make it my next trip for sure. Usually go to ukee. Was with Chris from hot pursuit this year. Had a great time! The counters would be awesome for the lakes. Especially for trying fish a bit deeper!
It’s weird how different the rod setups are in bc compared to Washington. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone use a mooching rod and reel or a centerpin setup in Washington but I see fishing with rod use them all the time.
Ive been fishing with the same rods for salmon my whole life since i was 7. I have had no problem with them especially weight wise. Honestly if those rods are to heavy for women grow some muscle or pass the rod. Im not saying that to be mean or to be a jerk.
If it works for you, then great. Men and women come in all sizes, that’s why there are different products to fit different people to make the experience better. And no you’re not mean or being a jerk, just ignorant.
WA. State produces the best salmon & steelhead rods. Debatable, yes. But that’s because other brands copied local rod principles. Squid fishing, what the locals title as Squidding, most if not all regulars shy away from conventional rods.
Fishing with Rod I hear ya. A single brand being labeled as the top and using that as an argument is doomed to fail. Which is why I generalized WA state 😄 covered all basis. But if someone doesn’t fish with a known brand/popular local brand, I wouldn’t care. Personal Preference & budget are amongst the drivers of decision.
Love the freespool on those GT reels, they never let you down. I use original MR2 and Accurate Dauntless.

Thanks for watchinga gain Amy! 😃 Is it the big blue shark you just posted?
Great stuff.I have 5 Shimano Moochers. Automatic drag when getting spooled and no drag when retrieve! Makes for tight lines!
Great vid Rod & Kitty thankyou for your ongoing great content 🙂🎣😎
Thanks for joining in the chat earlier! 😃
My pleasure Rod 🙂

What is your favourite 50 pound braid actually your top two brands?

I have used all the main brands of reels and shimano is my favorite. shimano makes awesome products
They're definitely very reliable, otherwise I wouldn't have used them in the last thirty years. 😃 Thanks for watching!
That techmium and Mocher set up is really interesting. I've only used bait cater or spinning set ups. How do u like that rod set up Kitty and Rod?

@@FishingwithRod might have to look into it more. For sure
The float lodge looks awesome. I would love to try and twitch for squid. I never new you could get line counters for reels. Pretty cool. #wantone

What pound mono was used on top of the braid? For the trolling rigger rods?
If I remember correctly, either 25 or 30lb.
Awesome. Thanks. 20 rods. Crazy in a good way lol
Yep! ;) When you're 10 miles offshore, you want to have everything you need in that boat.
Rock, halibut, salmon can be done all on the same rods and terminal tackle.....
Of course they can. You could even use a handline. That's not what this video is about.
Just brought shimano BM9000 A，don’t know where to try it in Vancouver island.
Not sure really, that's a huge reel haha... Perhaps for halibut on the West Coast.
Drink every time he says "right"
😃😃😃
Haha oh dear
🍻
Haha youd be wasted!!!
Amazing video rod
Thanks Chris!
It’s weird how different the rod setups are in bc compared to Washington. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone use a mooching rod and reel or a centerpin setup in Washington but I see fishing with rod use them all the time.
Yeah centerpins are widely used up here.
Fishing with Rod It would be cool to use one sometime.
Nice information video kitty 🎣👍.
Thanks for watching Andy! 😄
Level wind with left hand crank. That's my choice.
👍
I prefer Daiwa, but Shimano has certainly good products as well. I have a Shimano engine on my e- mountainbike and I'm very satisfied. 😂🤣😂
e-bike!! I can't talk to you anymore lol! Just kidding. 😉
@@FishingwithRod Thank you for still talking to me.😂
'right?"
Right.
I guess I’m going shopping...
🤣🤣🤣
right
Right!
Where are the musky videos?
We don't have muskies here in BC. Maybe one day we'll head east for those.
Fishing with Rod yes Canada has arguably the best musky fishing available I’d love to see that

Squid fishing, what the locals title as Squidding, most if not all regulars shy away from conventional rods.
WA State?
Fishing with Rod Washington state, specifically Woodland. Edge, Lamiglas, Loomis, Sage.
I know, I just wasn't sure if you were referring to one specific brand coming out of WA.
Fishing with Rod I hear ya. A single brand being labeled as the top and using that as an argument is doomed to fail. Which is why I generalized WA state 😄 covered all basis.
But if someone doesn’t fish with a known brand/popular local brand, I wouldn’t care. Personal Preference & budget are amongst the drivers of decision.
@@protocl Hasn't Lamiglas become Lamisnap? Horror stories are scaring me away from the redline series
Wow so early lol
Haven’t seen a count down before the video started like this in a long time.
Caught it at the right time. Thanks for tuning in!
Diawa > shimano
Personal preference. We’ll stick to Shimano like we have been in the last 30 years. 🙂
Both are great! Those technium shimano rods are really strong. Talica's are nice. I use daiwa saltiga with trevala rods fully satisfied!
No
No?
male vs female... stop it! just stop it!.
