- Fishing from shore with a Self-Setting Spring Loaded Fishing Rod.. Does it actually work?? Is it any good? Can we catch some fish with this thing? We head out to go saltwater fishing at the beach in north Florida with a mission - catch whatever bites! What kind of fish would be around the beach this time of year? I did not expect for this to happen..

@@FirstStateFishing for the mullet run, you should use live target lures! I heard the topwater floating mullet and the mullet swimbait work supwr well
will u ever come back to delaware
I just bought a bottle two days ago
This is why I like watching this guy he only catches around 3 to 4 fish a video usually makes me feel better about my fishing trips lol
Maybe the reason you kept missing them is because you are not supposed to set the hook with a circle hook.
I believe I would take the spikes off and use a regular surfing rod holder and see if that wouldn't work better. and maybe if you angled the spikes in the ground backwards instead of toward the ocean it might would stay standing up. just a suggestion. Cool video. like the rod. 🎣
see if that would* work better

I can't believe Karen's first thought was stepping over, instead of easily walking around. Amazed at her thinking.
But she didn't so crying about it makes you a Karen
Setting the hook is literally half the fun in fishing with most fish…
i agree
its a challenge video broski
@@bruhfish6117 its a product review, not a challenge. My opinion on the product is that it takes the fun out of fishing most fish
using circle hook is already taking that part away since you don't do hook set with it.
@@Adiarby13 thats why I fish for bass
man i been watching you since you was a small youtuber , crazy how far ya come , i can tell you have gotten a lot more comfortable behind the camera , making little jokes and all , W
If you're going to use circle hooks add a mono leader. Circle hooks need some time to set ,also switch to a bank sinker over pyramids. Use some ghost thread to keep your shrimp on the hook longer.
I use circle hooks all the time on braided line with steel leaders and never missed a fish
circle hooks dont set like j hooks they need to have tension and slowed reeled in not pulled. also hes fishing in sand so pyramids will be fine
@britishbuckwheat9092 I'm trying to tell people in the comments but for some reason people are denying this basic knowledge :(
Circle hooks normally set themselves. No hook set required
them setting themselves is the tension being applied but instead of the rod the tension is all from the fish @@getbent888
You would have better luck using a j hook for active setting like that. Circle hook is not meant for active setting and can easily slide out without hooking the fish if yank like that. Circle hooks just need some pressure applied, thats why they are often used for passive fishing with higher drag to set itself. Change hooks and success rate goes up a lot.

Just got my first bottle of STATIC! making cajun shrimp alfredo for dinner....tried a pinch of it alone and its delicious. Cant wait for this alfredo!
It is getting slightly colder here in Nunavut. But not too bad, the fish are still biting surprisingly considering that they ate and got full in the ocean (arctic char)
You really make your videos enjoyable to watch I love this salt water videos so much I miss longisland salt water everywhere

That contraption looks dangerous! Circle hooks are great for "bait and wait" fishing. And they always catch the corner of the mouth for easy hook removal. I prefer a small brass khale hook for this type of fishing. Or shrimp on a jig head. I hook them Texas worm style through the tail. I think you should use smaller weights, but I'm not there and that current is strong. Keep posting this great content. Duuuuuuvaaaalllll!!!!!
I can only imagine we gotta run into each other at some point on the beach man I’m in the 904 too, cheers on the vids man look forward to them
You need to set the rod hard in the ground. That way the hookset abilities work
in new zealand we use a stretchy thread to tie on our baits to the hook so it doesnt fall off , works really goood with shrimp, prawn, pilchards, especially when they thaw out and become super soft. the thread wraps around it and keeps it on the hook
“That would be a good idea” she says as she’s looking at the idea already manifest 😂😂😂
That was fun. Good luck with your spices!
Did you read the instructions? It seems to me that you need to firmly set the spike in the sand. When a fish bites, pull it out of the spike.
That does not help but main issue is the circle hook. They are not meant for active setting like that at all
@@matthewroberts3185 that has nothing to do with setting the rod in the sand properly.
@@matthewroberts3185 To say it doesn't help is just flat out wrong. The hooks that came with it were too big and that was likely the biggest issue (in regards of the hook}.
@slimmdogg420 bro I meant it doesn't help that he didn't set up the spike properly.... and yes having a circle hook when setting like that is exactly how you are supposed to not use a circle hook. Don't get defensive I'm agreeing with what you are saying and adding on to it lol
@@matthewroberts3185 The way you wrote it, it didn't come off that way. Proper grammar really helps. I don't think the circle hook really matters, they just need to be sized properly.
My Static has been shipped. Can’t wait to try it
Wow this fishing tool look interesting. Thanks for sharing the experiment
Not only is it not a scam, you don't even need it. Primitive people learned how to use a young bent over tree to do it. You can find videos online. You just set it, forget it and wait till the bent tree sets the hook as it unbends.
There’s no trees on a beach lol to say they are a scam is kind of far fetched. These particular ones I wouldn’t trust but the ones using your own rod are more than proven.
@@FishingWithChris_Tv he said it wasn’t a scam
@@OperationBlueberryExpress Thank you. The idea to make this device came from the fact this is a very old known technique. You can see people doing it on tv shows like Alone where people spend months filming themselves alone in the wilderness using any way they can to obtain food. It's a great time saver because a survivalist needs to be multitasking to find as much food as possible every day.
@@FishingWithChris_Tv If on a beach, you don't need a tree. Just bury a pliable bendable branch in the ground, use a rock to hold the line taunt and Poof, Instant fish catcher. You can also use a figure 4 trap trigger to hold the line taunt and cause an easy release causing the bent branch to set the hook. There is nothing you can't do with primitive fishing techniques that you can do today with modern equipment.
@@FishingWithChris_Tvno trees on beaches ?? Iv seen them
How many beaches have you been too 😂
That’s a dumb ass comment
I have one, a different brand, It does not have anywhere the power to set the hook. It is a cute way to get a bite though.
maybe try with a lighter sinker or change to a stronger spring🤔
I just scored two Penn Wrath 5000 fishing rod and reel combos on clearance from Walmart for $24 each. Going to try getting in some offshore fishing in this year.
Ima be waiting for that tx gar fishing vid

Whts the name of it i want one

Fishing Rod Holder Automatic Spring Tip-Up Hook Setter Pole Tackle Bracket
Love your videos man
the best automatic hook setting rod holder ever was the original " Fish Popper " I still have one and can absolutely walk away from it and come back with a fish on.
I am in NH and it has been just in the 70s it has been great here.
the angle of the rod i think matters too, could be the camera but It looks like the tip of the rod is pointing down rather then a little bit up to get a good set with the mechanism? cause it has alot smaller range of motion on the set you would normally do
Maybe anchor it further, a tether to a tent peg? Seems like the snap counters the hold at the other end of the fulcrum. Sand isn't holding the pressure from the spikes
Fun Stuff :-)
If you wanna try some new things look into the bottom legering rods 10-13f for feeder fishing now Whats something fun ! You should find a rod&reel combo for under 150 $ . Mostly the Brittish and euro fishing style buuut it works very good for seafishing/shore fishing .
This was not intended for salt water at all but this would be great for catfish as set pole rigs
There is a fishing rod holder that does the same thing and I feel like it would do a lot better it’s certainly easier to set
your dad joke took me out 🤣🤣🤣
I loved the place is very beautiful, your fishing was wonderful, Congratulations fisherman friend.
Hug!!!
East coast canada here and the weather is totally starting to feel more like fall. I'll keep fishing for trout and striped bass as long as I can though
You need a spider sinker. It has hard wires sticking out of the triangle sinker to dig into the sand. It's the only way to keep your bait from washing in/around. It also allows you to use a much smaller amount of weight with the wires dug in.
That rod gonna give you a heart attack 😂😂😂
My order of seasonings are on the way and if my cream cheese holds up I might do those seasonings on mussels with cream cheese. either way I'm having mussels with that seasoning on it this weekend.
That rig seems cool but I cringe every time you're reeling it in, I swear you're going to stab you're gut with that 2 iron prong. Try to adjust you're rig to have your tip of the pole standing straight up instead of parallel with the sand. Yea it's pretty toasty here in Kansas yesterday 107, today 109 and the rest of the next two three digits. Anyways enjoyed this video and you stay hydrated. Aloha from Kansas
Going to myrtle next month. Going to go surf fishing and I have learned from your vids!
I live in Myrtle bro go to Huntington Beach state park about 30 mins away and if you have the time take a walk down to the jetties 🎣🎣
"Lietu hope it's worth it so we wouldn't be lied to" 😂😂😂
i saw my grandpa made his own spring loaded self hook setting 25 years ago.. there was nothing on the market and i have never seen any fisherman using it.. i believe someone saw it and make their version.. everyday i 'm wondering the what "IF" he try to patent the design 2 decades ago..
I use the Ones that are metal and hold your own pole they work pretty good they go into the ground and can adjust the sensitivity
This kind of rod looks better suited for ponds and rivers, it obviously takes inspiration from the snare style trap where instead of the snare you attach a fishing line instead.
first state with the bangers!!!!
Your videos are awesome
What's your opinions on the flesh eating / brain eating bacteria/disease In newyork, and florida and other places?
Lmao that rod try hook it but kept falling down 😂, try use one those long construction rod make more stable and brace it 🤔.
STATIC tastes amazing you need to get some everyone this guys a legend
My friend has the one you set your pole in. He uses it for catfish with several poles out
Another fire vid 🔥
1:25 i died 😂 😂
I could see something like this working well on a calm river rigged up for big night time cats.
Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
You gotta try fishing with huge lures in the ocean dude im talkin 12+ inch lures
Do more king fishing on the end of the peir I love them videos
You should try angling the rod backwards so that when it swings back the rod ends up more straight? Idk just a thought.
I have some. They work great
@@ClickOnProfile117 scammer
Maybe if you put the fishing rod on the wet part of the beach. Where the sand is far firmer all the way up to the surface. The fishing rod lost much of its hooking properties due to dry loose sand.
the lietu dad joke was definitely one that made me smile
- a dad
Amazing invention😂
whiting taste really good and in Florida there is no size limit. so you should probably keep them.
It wasn’t the hook size it’s the hook type circle is used for the fish to hook them selves and a j hook is for you to set it
I would used the white sand spike not the little metal pong but it work better!
I sat down ready to eat enchiladas nothing to watch on TH-cam then I get ur notification clutch!!!!
Fun fact: someone from the MN DNR had a unfortunate slinky accident so they banned all "spring" loaded devices.
I can see your rod going 4 a long swim if you get a big fish? Needs to be pushed into firmer sand. Dig a hole then place the rod.love the idea around self return rod. Nice invention, always good to try something new.( good fishing to u). ( Aussie John)....
you should test that against an old school spring trap!
Love the salt water vids going to go out this weekend
ay what're ya goin for?
Lingcod
i feel like this is better suited for carp or similar toss and forget styles
I actually enjoyed this video
Looks to me like there needs to be some improvement with the design. First. The spikes included are not universally stable. The spikes provided don’t seem to set deep enough into the sand to withstand the mechanical hook setting power and pops out of the ground all the time. There should be longer spikes for sand and a flat platform included to set rocks on top of or a single solid pole to slip between rocks if you’re fishing riprap or rocky shorelines. There really needs to be some kind of extra counterweight at the butt end of the pole for stability as well. I also agree the pole should be detachable from the anchoring post. The concept seems practical, just don’t think the design was thoroughly thought through for real life applications.
Love your videos
Thanks for vibing!
Just found your channel and I’m already interested
Good luck with that Rod man I just know I wouldn't buy it because you could you get a big fish on there specialist at telescopic rod nothing's going to break I wouldn't trust it maybe it might work for small striped bass for porgies but I wouldn't use it for no red fish black drum
Just give me the old rod holder and a bell then "set it and forget it" 😎
Try taking the holder off of the rod and putting into the ground and stomping it far into the ground ant then cast your rod, then put the rod in the holder.
They use these rods a lot here in China, where they fish deep fresh water from a platform. They line them up and have like 6 rods at a time and they catch nice size fish with them.
I’ve noticed that the first few times you baited your rod. Your bait should cover the tip of the hook. If you don’t do that, then the fish will come from behind and take your bait.
looks like it would be better in a muddy riverbank with a heavy lure, could maybe let a plastic lure trail behind it too.
random idea, don't put it in soft sand. In theory it should totally do the job if the trigger system is decent enough. But I agree, why would you fish to watch some mechanism do half the work.
use shirring elastic on your soft baits , we use it all the time in the u.k
I would tap the spike in more and back a little so tip is higher not at a 90 to the water.
Nice set fishing..but I worry when the have saiz come to catching..😩😩😩😩
Circle hooks with a contraption made to set the hook.
the lied too joke was funny
Try putting it in a pole holder for sand
Bruh…..this is cool and funny af!!!! However I think if you cast then set the mechanism and walk it tight and bury the spikes in the sand AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE it will improve your chances dramatically. Looks alike the design is tension on the rod, not the line, sets it off. The 45% angle will allow for the rod to set it off properly. Just a guess. Try it out and let us know!!
Jeez, people, give the fish a chance! What's next, a friggin torpedo?
It is super fun to set the hook
try pushing it down in the ground fully, probably it'll pull better? just a thought
Hook setting with circle hooks just pulls the hook out of the fish’s mouth
that rod is so gloriously stupid, it thoroughly enjoyed the video lol. thanks!
With my luck i'd impale myself with the giant spike on the bottom 😂
That sailcat you caught is really good eating. Fillet the meat and remove the darker meat, fry and enjoy. Better than freshwater cats
It would be much better if you take off the stike and use a regular rod holder for a better ground and fiction power,nice video through.
