- Hello and welcome to Basic Fishing from New Zealand. In this video, I decided to go fishing in the last minute and had a great day despite a hard day's fishing. I also got to test out a new piece of equipment that I never used before as well: a low mount South African style surfcasting rod. This was a whole new experience for me and it was great having to do some practice with this rod but also landing a fish with it. Overall, today was somewhat a struggle but I was able to land a few gurnards which was a great bonus and also landed a fish on my new rod. Look forward to using my new surfcasting rod and land some bigger fish in the future that is not a stingray or a shark.

The reason the S.A Surfcasting Rod has a short butt is that it is still pretty common in SA to use a Scarborough reel. To cast with a Scarborough, you need to have your hand close to the reel so you can apply finger pressure on the drum to to prevent an overwind on the cast. Try that SA rod with an Australian Alvey surf side casting reel for some interesting 1:1 action !
I own two of SA surf rod assassin evo and blue fish. Like the rod very much and style. Just need a Gimbel when you use low mount surf rod .
yea but still worth it. makes it so comfortable especially with big fish. need to get another one now.
@@BasicFishingNZ I guess you bought it off Rob. Will it be possible if I can fish with you one day? I like assassin surf rods I own few of their lure rod too. I have use many surf rod zziplx century conoflex any fish any where but this assassin rod would be best value for money and good quality to.
yea well depends if im around the area haha mostly fish out west. il got the evo from someone else who eventually lead me to rob. and as for the assassin i was really impressived with not only the great quality but the versatility
@@BasicFishingNZ I am member of robs fishing club two ocean fc. I fish east coat north shore and the arai area. Maybe you can show me some west coast beach to fish off.

Nice rod! That rod will be good for kingfish.

How far you have to cast if you surf fishing. I m also in Auckland. Any recommend spot ?
well i try to reach 100m all the time sometimes over in really shallow waters. lot of beaches to try out for practice like takapuna beach, whatipu (closed atm), even muriwai
Hey man you should still try put out burley off the beach you'll get more rays and depending where you are a shark maybee but more fish is almost a guarentee if your catching the odd one without burley:)
Oh man. You have an very good fishing area. Take a look at our "finds" too. Fish on!
thanks for dropping by will check it out
Where can I find a cheap reel from bro in Auckland bro
uhhh good question....
i like your carry technique with the eagle ray most guys grab it by the eyes and i always cringe when i see it have a safe holidays bro
cheers man you learn a thing or two from south african surfcasting videos
That’s a different looking but on that surf rod. More rod to cast but less leverage?
the leverage is more powerful due to the reel being to the bottom. not to mention less exhausting on the arms wen winding the fish in
@@BasicFishingNZ interesting. Yeah the winding is crap with a long but section
yea haha not so bad on edible species but on sharks and rays so exhausting....
@@BasicFishingNZ I’ll stick to sub 8 foot. Hurts my back too much haha!
any wharf setup videos coming soon?
i've done a video on that already th-cam.com/video/HHRHCsmjLts/w-d-xo.html
Is your new rod a assassin evo????
yes
Do use circle hooks or j hooks when surfcasting?
circles personally in my experience
