      Hey Tony, they are the new Aftco anhydrous rain gear. I was lucky enough to help test this new gear out for a year or so before they went into production. We beat the daylights out of most of our stuff and Aftco actually tweaked the design based on some of our feedback. I was very impressed with that. It seems that a lot of companies wouldn't make any changes after they hit the old "price point", but Aftco made some real improvements to get it perfect. It's a super lightweight super dry suit. They have these "cord locks" all over the suit that are awesome. You can really adjust the suit in several places so it fits perfect. This gear has to be the driest breathable gear out there. Thanks for the comment brother!

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ryan Mclaughlin great question. In most cases I set the drag to be 3/4 of what the fighting drag will be so we can get the rod out of the holder quick to set the hook. (They are harder to get out when fish puts pressure on the rod) HOWEVER, when using circle hooks I leave it at full fighting drag. If the drag isn't paying out at the strike we wind the reel hard without taking it out of the rod holder to sink the Circle hook before picking up the rod. Thanks for the comment!

    What set up would you suggest if I'm fishing from shore?

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      dzoan duong find areas where the channel runs close to the bank. You don't necessarily need to cast all the way to the channel, but you have greater chances when fishing the shallow water NEAR the deep water of the channel. Use larger spinning reels with 10-12" surf cast rods. 50-80lb Stealth braid. 20-40lb mono leaders. I like to cast eels because they stay on the hook best when casting hard. Hook in the tail.

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thomas Wild I have always preferred evenings pretty much everywhere. If there is no tide, I go no weight. From there I go as light as I can get away with. A simple 5/0-7/0 circle hook with cut and whole Bunker would be where I would start. Clams and and bloodworms will do well too, but you will possibly catch lots of smaller fish that way. Grip it and rip it Brother. Try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks. 😁.

    Those rods are within my price range, but those reels arent. Can you recommend some reel models that would pair well with that rod? I'm not sure what to look for in a good striper reel. Also what gear ratio? Thanks dude!

    • @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS
      @MikeSmedleyOLDSCHOOLSTRIPERS  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Low gear for all bait live and cut. The Accurate Fury starts at $239. I would avoid level winds and star drags. Unfortunately I don’t know a lot of the prices of the other brands. I would probably use Daiwa.

      ChosenCrab8 these are the Accurate 400 Valiant BV-2 reels. The rods are the Accurate Extreme 7020c medium action. My favorite bait rods of all time 😁. These are actually prototypes from when they first came out. Still never broke one and they have been thru hell. You can see they were black and actually called Xnergy at the time. They are dark red now. Seeker blanks.

      Without a swivel the line will twist when the bait spins in the current.

      I almost Always use a swivel. They will swim in circles and make a mess. You can get away without a swivel if you are constantly monitoring the bait, like pitching live baits to Snook or Tarpon- any situation where you’re holding the rod and casting and changing baits often. If it just sits in the rod holder for long periods of time you should used a swivel.
