[@chrislavis1200]

Still the best on youtube

[@benstockley4278]

You’re very kind Chris, thank you mate 👍

[@ST-sx2bs]

Another good video, tell me is the rod that you are using suitable for multipliers and fixed spools ? As I use both

[@benstockley4278]

Thanks for your comment.
These modern Alconite guides are pretty tolerant of fixed spool reels so should be no problems whatsoever. 👍

[@JJGulliford]

Went there last week, only ray i found was ray mears on the 2 hour trek

[@benstockley4278]

Haha, yes even Ray would find this place challenging!! 😆👍

[@davidvowden]

Great video Ben , just wondering do you use the same set up for blondes and undulate ray ,or do you step up a reel size? Thanks

[@benstockley4278]

Thanks David. I tend to use the same 7ht reels with the same .30mm line for all of my clean beach raying. The only time I switch up to a 20 size multiplier is if I’m rock fishing for them with .40mm lines. 👍

[@ShorrockPaul]

What is that spike sticking out of the bait at 9:51 ?

[@robertknight4539]

It’s a baiting needle, much easier to elasticate the sandeel bait using it. Probably made it easier for Ben to show us the bait too!

[@benstockley4278]

Exactly that Paul, much easier than having my sausage fingers all over it!! 😊👍

[@philsalazar]

Lovely video Ben. What rod rest do you use?

[@benstockley4278]

@ Thanks Phil! The rest is an Ian Golds Super Match 5 foot version. 👍
