Great Video, Thanks, I am going for the reel. Next Question-What brand rod and how long for long casts do you recommend. looking for as light as I can afford to match with that 18 ounce reel.
I started seeing long spools in the mid90's & they are great. In fact I always got an extra spool w/ good line setup in the event of a problem w/ my other spool(stuff happens?)..... but also in the number of bearings that makes the drag smooth. Bad drag that's too tight or jerky in it's performance looses fish. And the ratio of hand turns to spool I always tried to get over 5 to 1 but in the 90's that wasn't available on bigger reals. Thanks for this video, I'm looking hard. Hope the kids r good. peace
Good job on selling their reels & I know you're using them all the time. This is slack fishing season up in Canada so all you do now will set their spring sales ~ Good luck, I hope they do well. 17lb test has caught very large fish out in open waters... a lady got 300Lb fish on 17lb line but it took over 3 hrs to fight it. You could do 100lbs of shark just so there isn't any rock/debris to break the line. Love the show, informative. peace & GB You/yours
I been looking try one this type reels, can this handle those heavy bat rays? Or sharks you think? I have a twin power and Stella but I want another reel to collect.
Hey man im looking to buy my forst surf rod and reel. What would you recomend for me to get with a budget of 300 to 350.. i like the reel in this video but is it too much or do you recomend somethig else .. this will be my first setup and i want something that i will like for a long time not looking to upgrade soon. Please help if you read this comment. Im in corpus too haha.
Ok Carlos, what do you think with the Flite or the Surf? I planned on buying the Surf but the Flite looks perfect for jetty fishing and my Wife of 43 years says I new reel and stick. I know it sounds funny but 43 years means she doing the banking. Lol
Idk man, the bays are gonna be so fresh from all that rain that you're gonna end up catching bass and blues in then 🤣. I'd probably go to seawolf park.
@joshhalloutdoors9900 Goose is going to be very fresh from all the rains. I have seen reports of drum and reds over in the Humble channel area piers like red dot pier and causeway pier.
@@BeachBomberFishing Sorry but don't understand hat lmfao means? I am awaiting delivery for one and will post a picture of the boxed contents. How do you think it compares to a Spinfisher Long Cast. The Okuma retails at £193.75 here but is easily available at £159.99 which makes it about $200 but with 2 extra spools.
*Soaking bait for full of Bull Reds, or what I like to call Bullshit Reds isn't really "surf fishing," it's just the ocean version of fishing for trash Carp, and it's no coincidence Reds look like Carp. Both are big, dumb, ugly, useless fish. I wouldn't spend $ to even buy flea market tackle to fish for them.*
@@BeachBomberFishing *Well, I grew up slinging plugs and metal for Stripers and Blues, so it's hard for me to look at this as "surf fishing," but you can categorize it any way you want. Comparing this to real surf fishing is like saying a Gafftop is no different from a Bluefin Tuna, since they both live and swim in the ocean.*
You sound like a cancer. Go back to fishing for stripers & blues if that’s your thing. If you’re to add something meaningful to the convo, it would be helpful. Trolling is a waste of everyone’s time. A lot of us are big into fishing the surf for whatever catches your interest. I primarily fish for reds & pompano, but I don’t trash talk those who fish for trout, black drum, etc. Do better next time.

I was typing longstroke spool while you said it,cool looking surf reel.Braiad likes to dig into the spool too.
Braid loves to dig in, most of my backlashes come from braid.
I've worked my way back to mono,too!
Like the way your mic picked up the fish’s drumming. Sounds like the pier got a new sound system!
That was purely accidental too, I guess the $100 mic finally paid off and justified the cost 🤣
@@BeachBomberFishingand I thought you guys had brought some good tunes out for the cold weather! lol
Definitely gonna have too add this reel to my arsenal
Hell yeah bro, put a big shark on it too
Another great reel review 🥊
Thanks!
SOLD! The wife has been wanting a new surf reel and I think this is the one...and I will get one for myself as well.
My wife has casted my one of the flites pretty good. She likes it because it's lighter than some of the other spinning reels.

Dope video bro, I really hope you can do a Makaira spinning review. Really want to know your thoughts. As always, Elite AF VIDEO.

Hi great videos long time fan , my question is do u think a floating style braid will cast better than mono? Or the same?
How does this reel handle salt and sand? Do you know how sealed this reel is?
It isn't sealed
Great review bro
Nice reel bro !
Great research and development plus presentation of the final product #beachbomberfishing !!!
Where do you get your black braid from it looks awesome 😎
Can you do a video on how to build certain fishing rigs? Like one for sharks, reds n whatnot
I been looking try one this type reels, can this handle those heavy bat rays? Or sharks you think? I have a twin power and Stella but I want another reel to collect.
Blessings friend great Video
How is the wobble on the okuma 8k I'm looking at 1 lol
Hi.
I want you to recommend me a type of rod that allows me to surfcasting a long distance.
Thx
Beach Bomber could you do a review and personal opinion on "Bionic Finger" or "Cannon Trigger"
For sure, I can do that as a short video on Instagram.
Cool. So, 17 lb mono is enough for most bull reds? Do you use 17 for Jacks as well?
You can use 17lb mono for reds. For jacks it'll work, you'll just be fighting them for a looooong time lol
Thanks!@@BeachBomberFishing

Where did you catch that black drum at
do you think the Flite would be good for pier shark fishing?
I think so
For surf fishing, should I get an 11’ or 12’ rod? I just got my first conventional reel.
12ft for max distance
Thanks bud
Ok Carlos, what do you think with the Flite or the Surf? I planned on buying the Surf but the Flite looks perfect for jetty fishing and my Wife of 43 years says I new reel and stick. I know it sounds funny but 43 years means she doing the banking. Lol
My wife at 33 does the banking too lmao. I would go with the flite because of how much more sturdy the drive system is.
My Wife isn’t 43, we’ve been married for forty three years.
That’s what I’m going to do buy the Flite thank for the tip.
My Penn Slammer III stacks line up on the bottom of the spool. Man that thing burns me up sometimes and I paid $350 for that reel 4 yrs ago.
Ugh, I hate when that happens. Have you tried removing the spacerunder the spool?
sir, what size braided uses this action?
Hey bro can i ask if okuma flite surf better then okuma 8k surf ? planning to get one
Definitely
Hey what size is your Okuma Komodo SS reel, I asked in your other video but you never responded...thanks
Oh sorry, I get a ton of questions. I have 3 komodos, I have the 263, 363, and the 463 lmao
I'm coming down from Dallas this weekend to chase them drum. Where would you go if you only had one trip a year to do it?
Idk man, the bays are gonna be so fresh from all that rain that you're gonna end up catching bass and blues in then 🤣. I'd probably go to seawolf park.
@BeachBomberFishing taking my daughter I guess we're going to try goose and see what happens

@@BeachBomberFishing well we caught 7 total between everyone in our group. I caught a 41" and a 42" my daughter caught a 40".
Nice
The reel marketed in the U.K. comes with an extra 2 spare spools
Lmfao of course it does, I wonder why we don't get that here?

Okuma website says reel weighs 18.3 oz.
That's hard to believe!! Can you weigh yours?
I don't have a scale at home. I'm sure they're not lying about that though.
Do you have the link for the reel?
okumafishingusa.com/products/flite-surf-spinning-reel
What mono brand and size ?
Do you have link brother would like to help out the channel
Nah man no link on these, you can go to their website bro.
40lbs of drag is perfect for dragging in big balls of seaweed over the sandbars.
Lmfao broooooooo 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀🎂
Thought I was looking at my 9 year old Daiwa Windcast 5000Z.🤔
What line is that?
The black mono is 17lb kast king
@@BeachBomberFishing thank you sir
Drum envy
Wobbly like the 8 k 40 lb of drag
Yeah that's wobbly, but again, that's a $100 reel.
@@BeachBomberFishing how much is this 1
Over 40lbs of drag (Diablo)

"Surf fishing" is fishing in the surf, regardless of the species. Your opinion is ridiculous and arrogant. You should unsubscribe from this channel.
As a matter of fact, I looked through your channel, it is absolutely trash and cancer. I wouldn't want someone like you watching my videos.
