- In this episode I go over in detail, how to completely setup and get rigged up for catching big fish. Helping you understand class ratings of rods versus reels, how to thread your line through a maze of roller guides... and what I consider to be the best knot for your terminal tackle when using a thicker mainline. If your getting into hunting down some of the titans of the sea, and are wondering about a starting place... Look no further, the info is here.
Enjoy ;)
Tight lines & good vibes.

I want to thank you for this podcast. Very informative and I really like the double clinch knot. I have practiced tying this knot and I also like it for freshwater fishing. Thanks again and best regards, Bob from AZ.
JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!
Awesome video.
Hi Heath, Matching the rod, line and reel is so important. I remember using any rod and reel that we had to go flounder fishing. Some were too stiff and some to light. As I learned what tackle to use for flounder, I realized how much better the balance between the rod, line and reel made the fishing so much better. I always look at the line and lure ratings before I purchase a rod. "Hi" to the "Fish Slayer" and the "Fishing Girls." Have a good weekend and good luck, Mickey
Hi Mickey thanks for taking out time to stop by and always chat with me and be there for me and my family. One of the most tricky aspects of fishing and perfecting the craft is rod real and line selection. And of course everyone's version of it is different so there's really no straightforward answer as to what's right versus what's wrong. In the end it's how it performs when you've got a fish on the other end. But I used to do the same thing as you did just grab anything and throw it together. Took many years and now I find myself consistently going back to the setups that I use even if they break down and fail I just replace them with pretty much the same thing instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. All the kids say hi Mickey. Everyone here is doing well hope the same for you and your family. Hope you're enjoying being back in Jersey. Again can't thank you enough for always being here for me. Take care and I'll talk to you on Sunday. :)
Hi Heath, Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of fishing with us. It helps us a lot. All good here in NJ. Have a good weekend and I'll talk to you on Sunday, Mickey
Youre a very good & articulate teacher! One of the best lectures on fishing videos ive watched - Thanks! I think this is the same fishing rig specs used by the Gloucester-Fishermen from the Nat Geo Series - Wicked Tuna... ☺ from the Philippines!⛵⚓

Can you recommend a king mackerel rig setup for plug and slow trolling live bait? I have planers and downriggers.too. The bite is on but I need advice to prepare for the west coast Sarasota area. Thank you for a great video series!
Excellent! I was wondering why the reel seat looks odd with my rod.
Awesome
Great vid as always man! Balance is key! Sometimes I just have it feel it in the store to see how it balances. I’m goin to be in south Florida soon, did u wanna meet up?
Hi Alex thanks for stopping by and taking out time to watch and chat with me. I did get your message I've just been overloaded with dealing with a family emergency, a vehicle breaking down, and trying to figure out how to keep the show up and running without driving myself crazy. I'll let you know if I'm able to get out and do anything this up and coming week I was really planning on going to see my grandmother for Thanksgiving but dealing with my family and making sure everything is taken care of on that end first is more important. Thanks again just wanted to let you know that I was not ignoring you. Tight lines & take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing hey man, I really appreciate the consistent content! Pls don’t overwork urself! I think everyone would agree when I say that It is more important to make sure all is well with the family and other things. That being said, I’m not coming down in the end this week but I do plan on coming down in the near future. I will reach out to you when I come down. Or before that. God bless
Another great video. I am on the west coast Sarasota area. Can you tell me what wind and weather conditions tend to be calm and rough so I plan trips on the bays and within ten miles? I’m sure you must check a source before venturing out. Thank you
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. If you're fishing out of Sarasota on the west coast of Florida you'll be looking for an East wind that'll lay down your seas really calm and create a swell that will come in from the West. The gulf is a little bit tricky though when it comes to that because you will have an East wind which will make it bumpy on the way back to shore. That's just the way it is regardless of where you're fishing. If you have a west wind and you want a fish and calm seas you'll want the winds to be between 5 and 10 knots that way it's nothing ridiculously bumpy for when you get out there and so you can enjoy. I usually look at the website from Noaa for my Marine forecasts. They're usually fairly accurate and they update it a couple of times a day. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your supportive channel I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thank you! Love the channel and the way you fish with the kids!
Thanks for your tips on line tying, what size reel are you using?
That's a Penn international 30.
Be a nice rod for Lake trout
thank you
Thank you for always being here and taking out time to stop by and send me some good vibrations. I truly appreciate it through the past years. It's truly always great to hear from you. Thanks again for everything you've done for the channel. Tight lines & take care ;)
Hi i just bought a older Daiwa sealine SL 22 HRG 61/2 rod and reel at a yard sale to use on my boat i never used one of these before it has the double roller for the first guide and 4 regular guides and a single roller gude at the tip does the line go inbetween the first double roller and does it go on top or under the tip roller
For the first guide the line will go between the rollers... the one on the tip, hav the guides facing up, the line will go on top of the roller
Good
I want to buy a penn 80 for shark fishing on my boat but I dont know what pound line to get some say braid to mono but what pound line and how much of each please help
I'm not much of a shark fisherman... but I'd say go with 80 lb braid to 150 lb mono leader... then use 270 lb multi strand cable with a 12 o circle hook
hi Heath, i recently got me a penn squall 50vsw with 50-80 rod , spooled it with 800 yards of 50 lb hi viz but would like to add a 20-25 ft of 50 lb clear, what would be you preffere knot for mono to mono in this line class
I would go with either of these
1. Blood knot
2. Spider hitch loop on main line, with a no-name knot attaching leader to loop.
I prefer #2
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thanks ! is there a reason for the spider hitch? like is it stronger ?
@@orlandoduran7740 I call it the poor man's Bimini Twist... the reason is, it provides better shock absorbency
@orlandoduran7740 here's a link to the video on how to tie spider hitch to no-name
th-cam.com/video/YD-3Cb8hP7c/w-d-xo.html
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing yes i was just watching it from your older videos
I tie palomar knots with 0.70mm 50lbs line with no problem
Thanks a million for watching and sharing. It's always great to hear some different information on what works for everyone versus what works for them personally. Spreading the ideas and communication is key to success. Thanks again for your supported channel and always taking out time to stop by and watch and chat with me. I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
Would you recommend this knot on a 30# mono set up?
Thanks a million for watching and asking a great question. Yes of course you can use this not on 30 lb test. Personally I would just go with a standard clinch knot wrapped around your main line six times and then send back through. Hope this helps. Thanks again for your support and channel I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Tight lines & take care ;)
How you doing Heath? Nice video once again 👍 👌. I was always wondering how good are those rods from coastal because the price on them last time I checked its pretty reasonable and I dare to say that they are leaning towards the cheaper side of the market. Are they any good? I'm waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance and keep up with a good videos and give us one with a big game fish 🐟 😀
Thanks man for watching and asking a great question. The coastal fishing equipment rods are pretty good. They're a great price and a great deal and I do hold up against big fish. If you're trying to stick to some sort of budget you're definitely getting your money's worth out of the rods. Any other comparable rod from a more well-known company like Star rod or pen or daiwa is going to be 3 to 4 times the price of these rods. But I've never had any problems with it mechanically speaking. Hope this helps. Thanks again for taking out time to stop by and chat with me I truly and sincerely appreciate it. Always great to hear from you. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)

How u know what Guage line u need
A little surprised you never mentioned drag set up
Thata whole other episode. This one was just about getting set up properly, mainly feeding the li e through roller guides. Thanks for watching
ok how to buying sir
Pls purchase link
Links are in the video description :)
How much is this fishing machine in Vietnam Dong?
I honestly don't have any clue
so the line does not touch the last roller?
Yes it does. It lays on top of it so it can roll out... with being pulled through a stationery guide.
Belt wrench and a shit ton of grease
Then no engler
Thanks for these videos. I just got an International 30 from my father-in-law. He’s got some old 60lb mono on it (don’t know how long it’s been on there) and I want to replace it. It’ll be on a 100lb custom rod with rollers. I want to add some heavy braid on it, with a mono top shot. Looking to use it for trolling blue fin and a heavy rod for night blue fin fishing with potential of 100lb+. What would you recommend for main line braid size and mono top shot?
I'd go with 80 lb braid and 80lb mono... but I'm not a bluefin Tuna guy... they might go heavier... but with that reel you'll have the line capacity at 80
@@SouthFloridaSaltwaterFishing thanks for the quick reply. I was watching a video after I made this comment and they were putting 80lb as well. I have some work to do on cleaning the reel and will make my decision then! Awesome video!
Good day sir...im very amaze about lure you have...im very much like about lure for trolling a wahoo or king mackerel...i hope someday i can have that lure..im your abid fan ...i always watching you...from philippines...god bless...have a nice day sir...
Thanks a million for stopping by and watching and leaving some great feedback. I truly and sincerely appreciate it in your support for the channel. If you're going for wahoo you're going to need some nice lures the only bad part about it is they're going to get tore up when they get hit. Regardless it's entirely worth the excitement the thrill and the unforgettable memories it will create. Thanks again. Tight lines & take care ;)
