That was a mint session with those kings bro. Stunning part of the Bay where you are

[@SkwidyFishing]

Glad you enjoyed

[@AucklandFishing]

Just subscribed. Have watched you over TikTok and FB. A great catch and technique!!! Well done!!

[@SkwidyFishing]

Thanks for the sub!

[@TheWeeklyFlick]

Fishing there looks like an absolute dream! Nice work on the jig. Those kings look bigger than rats to me

[@SkwidyFishing]

Haha just rats to me, good warm up for a bigger one 💪

[@BasicFishingNZ]

that was a solid as blue mack haha thought it was a tuna for a sec. plus looks like u had a good sessions on the kings

[@SkwidyFishing]

Those always trick me into thinking they are a tuna! So similar in body shape and kick

[@4WDG]

brilliant video and jigging technique! May i ask what rod & reel combo you're using pls? Looks like a Penn Legion rod. Love your content - from Sunny South Africa, Cape Town 🇿🇦

[@SkwidyFishing]

Cheers ! Its a huge effort getting out there and also doing the jigging, especially seated. Its a torium 16pg / backbone 30-50lb jig rod

Awsome vid mate next time put 1 of those kawhie on as live bait and along your 17kg plus king will come 😊

[@SkwidyFishing]

Done a few off camera sessions out here with different baits and no bites just yet but i’ll give it another go now that its a bit more summery

[@fatchili7424]

Great vids mate, I just bought a Viking Reload 👍🏻
Just curious on what you used to make, or how you made and traced the outline for your larger tackle pod chopping board? As I’m trying to do the same with plastic chopping board material. Thanks 🤙🏼

[@SkwidyFishing]

Removed the old board and traced the empty space with tracing paper and added a freshly cut bit of plywood. Plastic is not a bad idea!

[@knightclan4]

What kind of reel are you using?
You've got to be in good shape

[@SpicyAngler]

hi there, is your jigger reel have two or one speed? if it has two do you vertical jigging using the slower or the faster mode?

[@SkwidyFishing]

Just single speed 6.3 , eventually i will go up to a higher end lever drag in the future 👍👍

[@SpicyAngler]

@@SkwidyFishing yes single I see but 6.3 still considered high speed. When u have two speeds the lower one is around 3.7 I think ..

[@SkwidyFishing]

Ah when i said higher end i mean a more expensive reel as the torium's are a lower end reel. yes single high speed@@SpicyAngler

[@SpicyAngler]

what i mean in two speeds is to see what speed are u using for the verticle jigging, is it the faster or slower mode. seems you are using the high type as 6.3 is quite high. even when you have only one speed. if you would have a two speed reel, you would still use the higher mode, isn't it? @@SkwidyFishing
