- This is my set up for spring river fishing for Salmon and Sea Trout.
Flying C's - www.spintec.co.uk
Toby - www.fishingmeg...
Toby Salmo - www.fishingmeg...
Headbanger - www.thelurebox...
Recorded on my phone so apologies the camera isn't always steady.
Don't think ever bought Toby and fished with the hooks they come with they are massive all ways bin them put better hooks on and always add few extra split rings as well make difference on hook holds .
is it possible to fish salmon with a twin power pg or does it have to be a high gear reel? My rod is 18-56g is ok?
Ah thought i recognised that gravel, probably met you on the bank down there. How did your season pan out i never really put in any hours this season once the low water hit in april/may but did have a few good sea trout to 4lb on the fly, then it seems to have not stopped raining and we've had high water for ages.
Was up the Endrick earlier and had one good pull and seen a few fish move but no joy, maybe get one or 2 days in to save the blank this season.

Apologies @ross, I don’t check the channel as much as I should - just seen a comment there and seen there were quite a few I never got around to replying to including yours. We have most likely had a chat down on the bank as that was the main area I stuck to. My season was a bit of a write off that year, just didn’t put the hours in and once COVID came around I sort of lost the bug. Managed a few Sea trout earlier in the season but nothing substantial. Didn’t fish at all this season but hoping to get back on it for next season. Hope your season improved and you had a good 2021 season and have managed to keep safe. Once again, apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
@@lburton8369 No need to apologise mate.
Low water all year but the most amount of fish we've seen in 15+ years but they just wouldn't touch anything, Ive done not bad considering the water levels but Ive put in a lot of hours over the summer, water is high now and all the fish we had hanging around have moved off up stream so I doubt ill catch anything else unless I venture up the endrick.
Had 7 for my season so far including a monster farmed fish of 26lb in the low water during the summer which made things interesting landing it 3 pools down stream.
Hopefully you get more time next season and ill see you down the river.

@@ROSSLINDEN0 - That’s sounding really promising if there were a lot of fish in the river. Just a shame they weren’t for taking. The Endrick is always worth a shot at this time of year, hopefully you manage a few more days on the river before the season ends. That’s good going mate as does sound like it was tough if they weren’t for touching anything. Wow! That sounds like a monster for sure, congratulations! I bet that must’ve given some fight - would’ve been a relief to get it in the net. Definitely, looking forward to getting back to it. Take care and I’ll see you down there. Good luck for the rest of the season 👍🏻
Probably be good to take that bit of plastic out of the water.
Good video thanks
Since adding a second split ring on my tobies, I find I bump off far less fish as the second ring eliminates the leverage the fish has with tobies. I would recommend you do the same to yours.
Ah this sounds like a great idea. I’ve added this to my list of jobs to do before next season. Thanks for the tip!
A fish can't lever off a Toby...theres only people not setting the hook properly..that came from Jock Monteith the famous river Tay Ghillie.. and he knows better than anyone!
@@simontimoney like I said, I bump far less fish with 2 split rings. Works for me anyway. Might be coincidence but it's what I have confidence in.
@@simontimoney a load of tosh go read what falkus said about the toby being a poor hooker and he knew better than anyone
@@CleddauFly in total agreement mate as a matter of course all my sea-trout lures are double split ringed, it def helps ive found
Hi,for the salmon you use a spoon?this river is the Thames?
Hi, yeah I have used spoons in the past and had success, I fish them in the same way I'd fish the Abu Toby. Blue and silver spoons can work really spoons! Nope, this isn't the Thames.
L Burton the Thames 😂
Hi mate. I’m quite new to spinning. I spin mostly for trout. Do you ever use anti kink vanes or is a double swivel just as good?
Hi, sorry for the slow reply - I really should check here more. I have never used the vanes but have always liked the double swivel. Savage Gear make really good ball bearing swivels.
Anti kink vanes for devon minnows..swivels for everything else
A year late but how do you think the Daiwa 4 piece compares to the two piece?
Sorry, I’m late too! I have the two piece and think it’s great. I’m not sure what the 4 piece Daiwa is like but I have a few other 4 piece rods and they’re great for travelling or when you need to do a bit of walking to get to the spot as they fit in a back pack etc. I guess it just depends what you’re looking for but I do like the compact size of 3/4 piece rods.
@@lburton8369 I bought the 2 piece and it's a great rod 👌
@@johnbrennan2636 - Agreed! Easily the best rod I’ve had for spinning. The quality is great!
I opted for the 4 piece rod due to wanting the easier transportation advantages when it comes to putting the rod in car in the boot etc. One gripe I have out of the 2 rods is the 2 piece is rated 10-60g the 4 piece is 20-60g.
Hey man what is your daiwa can you please send caractéristiques for this? Thanks
Hi bud! I must ask can you find some 4g Abu tobys for sale? I found one in an old fishing box I was given and I love it but I can't seem to find any as they are discontinued I believe
Hi, I think the 4g Abu Toby lures have maybe been discontinued. Had a wee look online and couldn’t see any but the Glasgow Angling Centre sell 4g tobys, brand is called lure flash and they’re £1.25 each. If you have a look on their site you might find some colours that will work for you. The lures should be fine but might need better hooks. eBay is worth a shot too. Hope that helps 👍🏻
all toby lures by abu have been discontinued, they let the patent expire!!!
Hope theres no pike in there. No wire leader?
You make a fair point. I’ve fished this river for years and I’ve never caught, seen or heard of pike being caught in here. If I though catching a stray pike was a possibility then I would definitely have a wire leader rigged up.
Is this the Tay mate?
What reel is that bud ?
Shimano Stradic 4000 series.
@@lburton8369 I bought the Vanford C5000xg to pair it up with my 10 foot rod. But I sent it back... personal preference with most fishing tackle isnt it, I know the C stands for compact in Shimano lettering for reels. Even for a 5000 reel it seemed so small when I attached it to the rod. It just didn't look right. Is your reel in the video a ci 14 4000 older model. The reel body looks bigger than the C5000xg Vanford. I was wondering if just a normal Stradic or Vanford 4000 without the (c) compact sizing would be like your size reel on the video? I am going to use a Penn spinfisher 4500 it's got a bigger body design & bigger line capacity spool. I know the Spinfisher is semi sealed for saltwater etc but it's tough and more durable which is what I would prefer over refinement. I haven't really found any freshwater designed spinning reels I really like. Plus I don't like graphite. Any reels you could recommend? Sorry that's like loads of questions ha
What rod is that
Daiwa whisker
@@CleddauFly How long is this rod. ?
10ft I imagine. Lots of backbone.
@@CleddauFly 10ft this is 3 meters. ?
@@GregPLAngler yes 10 foot = 3 metres
Hi pal I'm going to the river south esk at the end of May I don't suppose you have any experience spinning that river do you around the newbattle area of the esk just want to know if it's worth taking my rod
Thanks in advance 👍
Hey mate, sorry for the slow reply. Sorry, I’ve never fished the Esk so not too sure how it fishes but had look on Google, could be good for a session if you get the right conditions on the water. Best of luck if you decide to give it a go 👍🏻
