Nice setup. I’ve got rods and canons from Breakaway, good stuff! Hope you get some monsters! I’m taking a trip to Texas in April. My first time there! I’m stoked, going to try for gar and then some LBSF in the gulf. Good luck!
Glad I ran across this video. Been looking at the Breakaway Drumstick Heavy Casting for Galveston piers. It does look like a beast. I’m going to put a TLD15 or Sealine 50 on it.
I tried the cast cannon but couldn't get used to it until i mounted it on the side instead of under now with the thumb release it's an absolute must have !!!
@@BeachBomberFishing i learned it from Scuba Chris videos on TH-cam,, with mine i use small width electric tape then use the Velcro wrap that comes with the Breakaway kit and it's tough and Elite AF!!!
I'm using an Okuma Azores Z90-S to surf fish for smaller sharks and absolutely love this reel but the Makaira is like a piece of art. It's almost too nice to use lol. And the 66lbs of drag on the 20k and 30k is insane. People are really sleeping on the Okuma spinning reels.
Elite AF bro 🔥 had a slammer break at the bail when reeling in a red, Penn charges 250-300 up for those and still use plastic parts. That reels is clean though
Kinda looks like my bluegill rod/reel setup LOL. That thing is huge I made up four rods from blanks that were that big I didnt know how big they were until I got them in the mail. My dad uses two of them to pull his planer boards with they were so big. I used bait casters with counters on them they were Okuma.
Nice megalodon setup Carlos! I have been eyeing out the Drumstick rod, how does it cast? How stiff the tip is (bite detection)? Which one do you prefer since you have the heavy and the light versions? I am looking to get me a new short setup for baits, I hike for most of my fishing spots and a 2pc 12ft rod is a pain in the hoo ha to carry while hiking through rocky terrain.
2/25/24 Carlos got an Azores 14000h deliver today, wow! I am looking at a rockway stick since I will be pier and surf fishing, what do you think. I still plan on a Flite reel but here in SoCal they are hard to come by.
Carlitos quick question , I wanna buy spinning reel but am not sure which one to get, which one cast further okuma flite or okuma makaira 10000? Thanks Hermano.
Okuma flite casts further, but the makaira is a whole different beast. The makaira is a luxury world horse that can reel anything in. There's no other reel like it.
@@BeachBomberFishing Paired it up with a 13ft surf rod 6-16oz. I keep the reel near my stomach and use the long rod a leverage when I rock back. I use the OM 20k reel and long rod as a bait and weight setup.
Excellent videos. Can I put in a request that you do a video report from one of those long distance surf casting tournaments that SFCCI holds? I think the next one is March 16-17.
Bro, when did you came to Port lavaca? I fish that pier with my daughter every weekend... I was scared you were gonna end up losing that lure.. it's super shallow. Would have been nice to meet you. I like the new combo. Hopefully, the first fish on it is a kingfish.
Thinking about getting the 30000 for some big sharks on the beach (currently running an Authority 8500 on a CCP 8nB rod). It’s almost twice as expensive as the Authority 10500, though. Specs are similar, but I’m sure the Makaira is built better (probably not $400 better, though). Any experience with the Authority? How’s the Makaira been? Good channel, brother.
I personally do not like the authority. The drag system on the makaira alone beats most drag systems. The makaira is basically a lever drag. It's heavy, but built extremely well.
Dude I give you a ton of credit or anyone that takes expensive gear in places like that. I accidentally stepped between rocks on a jetty dropping and destroying a $140 reel which broke my heart so I couldn't imagine you having an accident with a $600 plus reel. The only way you would catch me take expensive gear out now is on a boat.
I get expensive gear like this for longevity. This reel is gonna be dunked, laid on rocks, and it's gonna be treated as the way it was marketed. I'm not like those other guys that buy a $1000 reel and rod and baby the hell out of it. I like gear with grit and personality.
I buy expensive gear for longevity as well but unfortunately I'm not exactly Chase Manhattan bank so it's not like I can just go out and replace an $1100 Saltiga or any other costly equipment whenever I feel like it.☺️...From my own personal experience I now budget well and do a pretty good job of not overspending unnecessarily. In other words, you won't catch using a $300 or $400 reel to go Crappie fishing when I can get a good reel for $35 to $70 and get more longevity from most because I take care of my equipment and know how to properly use it. Same thing for my rods. But that's just me. I look at fishing as using the right tool for the right job. Every type of fishing is going to require different gear. My Saltiga is my big game reel I use for Tuna and Amberjack but you would not see me use it for catching Striped Bass or other similar species that I could use a good sealed $140 reel for this purpose. Now if I'm going to be in the water and that reel is constantly in water than I'll use an expensive reel like a Van Staal or Salt X. So you pretty much know where I use my judgement on my equipment.
@eves08109 better man lol? You baby your gear or what lol? I say that because there's a group of 'elite' anglers in my area that will buy saltigas and Stella but will baby them to hell. They look down on other people for using a $150 reel for bull reds and jacks. Some of these guys show up with a $1500 setup to fish the jetty, but don't even have a set of korker boots to walk to the bottom wet rocks to land their own fish. I totally agree with you, judge the situation, and use the right gear accordingly. This makaira is coming with me to a 36h tuna trip. Hopefully I can baptize it that way lol.
The funniest place here we catch nice size groupers and some other species is definitely in the rock areas so you need a beast reel such as the makaira the Daiwa bg the shimano saragosa and more beasts
The only problem I have with the reel is the handle. I had a cheapy freshwater reel with a handle like that I was walking down the sidewalk jamming to some tunes and some guy came running up to me with the reel handle in his hand I guess I bumped it and the handle unscrewed and fell off in the middle of an intersection. He saw it but I didn't hear it fall off. So since that day years ago I always buy a reel with the handle that goes all the way through the reel and has something on the other side that screws into the shaft and locks it into place It took two years before they had extra handles for sale for that reel too. I ordered two of them and then sold all my reels with that type of handle to a guy at work who only fished out of his boat I think I just own Shimano spinning reels nothing too expensive because I give away all my reels every other year to my nephews
Seriously dude? Have you not seen my past THREE videos lol? I had 3 review videos before that because it was slow and the freeze messed stuff up. But before those review videos I had 26 fishing videos b2b. Maybe take that into consideration.
Yeah buddy, that's a lot of REEL b/c I just LQQK'd her UP >> >> > And she is Up there High in the Sky. Perhaps I watch the dreams with you for a while... lol, a great angler can do a lot w/ just about any old reel they have & likewise a motorcycle rider can use a smaller bike & beat a new rider w/ a great big engine. I have no doubt your ability after I watched you do several real beasts on here..... a large alligator gar when the police boat pulled up in the channel was you doing your deal w/ less of a combo so I know w/ $1,000 w/ of gears you'll do some damage. I hope to see 1000 lb fish/shark/stingray or mermaid although the wife might not cook/clean the last one I mentioned? Ready to see it all happen ! Go Boi !!
Well hi again it's good see you. I'd wanted to say few things An Something that's Very Important. One is Why You's think that the fishing rod is Only best one especially in Texas. Why Couldn't Would Could there's be Much Better One SomeWere Else Other than Texas. What bout California, Some Other State . Have even did you're Research Researching of Other Places an Fishing 🎣 Stores Fishing Company's. And if You're maybe be best let me know can or would could I'd order it from You's. Please let me knows
this is a stupid video, paying 800.00 for a spinning reel to fish a jetty in gulf of mexico? there spinning reel frtom china that i have that do 45 # drag for less then 100.00 ? waste of money?
Put it this way. You move up in life and decide to buy a car. You can go with a smart car that will get you to point a and b, like the fishing equipment you use. Or, you can buy yourself some thing nice like a luxury car, luxury suv, a nice truck? What are you gonna? They all take you from a to b, and you drive the same roads that everyone else does.
Nah, the Stella doesn't fit my style at all. I feel like all the gold and blue design looks so basic and generic for the price. Everyone has a Stella, it doesn't have any character imho.
@BeachBomberFishing ...the reel is the class, you have to have character for the reel to suit your needs...shimano is better quality and years of great service...one day you may get there
You can get a discount from breakawaytackleusa.com 10% off anything in the store with my code BOMBER10.
Code doesn't work..
@@Nmurphey26 you put the code in and they will give you the discount after they process the payment.
Was super cool meeting you on the pier I hope my hometown holds up to its fishing history for you
It sure does man. I appreciate the hospitality.
Epic/beautiful! That rod and reel basically have a bicep integrated into it LOL
Lmao basically a bionic bicep
Dope combo, bro! I can't wait to see your first catch!
You didnt stop smiling the whole video....yeah, you are in love!!
I should smile more huh

that feeling when you got your new combo is unmatched
One of the best feelings
First time I've seen your channel. Wow I wish the fishing near me was as good as there. Have you used the reel much yet?
I've used this reel a lot, I've caught so many fish with it, Including an almost 7ft bull shark.
Where are you from?
Elite AF bro 🔥 had a slammer break at the bail when reeling in a red, Penn charges 250-300 up for those and still use plastic parts. That reels is clean though
I've seen and heard of a lot of slammer breaking. One of my friends blew the bail fighting a red.
Thanks. Going to go 10’ 6” mh fast. My Wife said she’ll get Flite next for birthday. So I’ll go 12’ with rockway for Flite
if you have a shop that does rod repairs you can have them wrap the little line release jobby like a rod guide instead of those plastic clips.
Good luck brother! Slay ‘em
Thanks man!
Only need 1 to 2 wraps on the finger, releases allot smoother
Everytime I workout my casting muscles at planet fitness I get the lunk alarm blown on me bro... They can't handle it. Worth it for Okuma gear.
Hello my friend enjoyed ur fishing trip,joyed an laughter happines wat monster spinning reel u used killer machine.
Can’t wait till you catch fish on that reel!
Me either, it's gonna be sick.

Are those, the guides that come with the rod or are they custom guides if so what brand are they?
They are alps, I forgot which model.
Nice megalodon setup Carlos!
I have been eyeing out the Drumstick rod, how does it cast? How stiff the tip is (bite detection)?

A Rockaway Rod will match the color. I have the 10'6 and the 12, I love them both.

@@BeachBomberFishing I’m a casting reel fan. I have a couple of Penn Torques and a couple of Finnor Lethals.
