- The weather was atrocious so as part of my series of videos on buying your first beach casting set up, I went into Tonys tackle in Eastbourne to ask the legend Tony Kirrage , why he was enthusing about the Penn Affinity III.
I have to say , having played with one I did buy it, and will give it a good try out on the beach.
This will feature in future videos.
We also talk about The Black Rock TT8000, the Penn Rival and the Akios Airloop R10. all of which are very fine reels.
we then looked at some economy reels (including line), which at around £30 , are real bargains, (but you do get what you pay for).
Also details about a new tip for the Akios Fury, soon to be available, and news about the Tonys tackle Dream Cast III.
Some exciting pre used ZZiplex Bullets that Tony has just aquired ( a real refurbishement investment opportunity - I have to admit I am tempted ) one of which was used by their previous owner to break the casting distance record.
And finally and probably the most exciting Tony signed a copy of his new book for me.
"Sea match Fishing The man himself Tony Kirrage"
All in all a fact filled episode. I hope you enjoy.

Superbly presented what a good video. Thanks i have memories of going in there when i was 16, Tony was at the heart of Sea Fishing in the 90s and knew all the prominent Anglers. Good to see his infectious enthusiasm decades later. Very hard to walk out of that shop without making a significant purchase too when he's around too .... Thanks for this Chris i will refer newcomers looking for a reel to it
yes he has definitley talked me into buying stuff on many occasions
another great video CJ, and tony is a realy nice guy ,, ive been in the shop a number of times for bait and tacle over the years ,, from the late 80s to the present day
Yeah he is a great character.
Hi CJ big up tackle shops and great to have a mooch and actually see stuff rather than a picture on the internet. Better still can have a natter. Cheers fellow 👍👍🎣🎣
Use em or lose em 🤷
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ Big time agree as they are also full of knowledge on local marks catching etc. 👍
Great video thanks for sharing, loads of decent information and love to see people supporting tackle shops
Jason Scott and i have been running a campaign over the last couple of years, you may have seen our support your local tackle shops cards in shop windows.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ yes CJ I did watch the episodes, very well done good work 👍
Good video and Tony's tackle looks great not many videos like this around
Thanks there are a few in my Tackle talk videos, Jason Scott ( the Eastbourne Fisherman )and I visited and filmed virtually every sea fishing shop around the coast from Southend to Bristol. As part of our "support your local tackle shop" campaign. There are still some pretty amazing shops out there.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ thanks we are up north west area we allways support the privately owned shops we have many friends from this blackpool wales liverpool cumbria our most fishing spots
@@paulmichelleontourfishing2106 we had been in contavmct with all the shops up your way too, Jason has been managing that, and they all should have one of our cards in their window.
cracking video some unbelievable tackle well presented
👍
Really nice video Chris. Met Tony in his shop once really nice bloke and as u say I didn't get out of the shop without a Diawa High Performance Bass rod in my hand.
He could sell coal to the eskimos for sure.
Just purchased my penn rival lc 8000 today with a penn rampage 2 surf 13ft rod can't wait to get it out fishing 😀 been on pollack last 2 trips!!!
Penn tackle is currently so 👍
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ SMOOTH is the WORD!!!
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ haha I just went with the affinity iii 7000 this morning!!! Great presentation can I ask you CJ? What type of braid did you go with for surfcasting? I'm planning to pair it with a penn tidal XR rod for beach casting
@@cwera8866 i use daiwa j braid. Im trying 36kg. Throughout, so no shock leaders. So far its working really well.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ ah ok nice thanks for getting back to me so fast I just ordered my 7000 this morning should be here tomorrow!!! Did you go with the limited carbon or just the 7000? Just wanted to know if it comes with the carbon handle!! I didn't pick the limited bases on Tony's advice!!!
Great video Chris, lots of information👍
Thanks mate.
Cracking video very informative and also keep up the good work..
Thanks
Tony, how important is to have a conic spool for longcasting, is that a trend or will really affect the distance. I see a conic spool on the sufblaster. will that make it specific for long distances ? great videos.
A coned spool combined with a reel that has a slow oscillation, allows the line to peel off with very little friction in the cast, which helps with distance casting.
Well done great vid by all .
😊
Tony in your opinion you prefer this reel to a surf blaster for for saltwater, only time I saltwater fish is in Cuba 🇨🇺 so it won't see another of abuse . Thanks for great videos , stay safe cheers from Canada.
Both are great reels, i think the surf blaster edges it for saltwater use, CJ. But i know Tony is a fannof the affinity.
Hi Andy from uk i am going back to cuba to do fishing what kind of fish are their and what type of rod is best many thanks
Really great that Tony's tackle has managed to survive and still going strong. I can't help thinking that all the knowledge and tackle is so wasted on the awful fishing that the beaches now mostly offer. Great video though. Thanks
Thanks for your comment, the beaches down here still fish fine, some good fish and different species coming in, maybe you have to work a bit harder now.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ I gave up in Norfolk as I got board of small whiting and scratching. I've switched to lure fishing for bass now and loving it. Had 16 bass with a mate a few weeks ago on shallow diving plugs while standing in the surf. Awesome stuff!
That is great lure fishing, im yet to open my account with Bass on the lure from the shore yet this year.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ It took me years to get around to it. Once you catch one on a lure/rod you'll never scull drag one in on a beach caster again! Be warned though it does become an addiction🙄
great video very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
In the the northeast coastal beaches of New Jersey Vanstaal VSX 200 and 250 are the best distance casters and completely sealed from saltwater intrusion.
Awesome looking reels but soooo expensive here in the 🇬🇧
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ not sure what UK money is but US dollar was $816.00 the Vanstaal power knob upgrade was $65.00 and spooled up with 30lb Suffix 832 braid with tax a total of $951.00 out the door.
Can remember seeing his pic. on the front cover of Angling Times or other many moons ago. Holding two Bass he'd caught. They were the days eh ! thks
That picture is now inside the front cover of his book.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ Think he looked a bit younger then ..lol
Is it advisable to fish in the sea with these Penn Affinity III reels?
I have had no problems. So far.
Great video as usual, shame about Tony's choice of football team ... 😂 ... still the best bloke in Eastbourne to talk tackle with though. His bait is good as well 👍
Yeah , he knows his stuff for sure.
Good stuff.
Thanks!
Time stamps and models shown would be a nice touch in the show more section CJ.
You think? Ill see if i can add them.
Lovley video
Tony tackel Shop Nr1 tackel shop in England top quality service lots of good deals I loved
any reason why they have a huge bail arm?
I dont know, i didnt think they were that big...
Ive bought 2 penn affinity iii and both broke penn not even emailed me back shocking cj and not even had them 6 months
That is why its always best to buy from a decent shop. Most shops will manage this for you
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJ i did both great tackle shops brand new worm gone on 1 and gears on the other
Take them back to the shop you bought them from and if they’re faulty they’ll be replaced. I work for Penn and that’s the procedure, the shop will do the return for you. Tight lines.
@@geoffbrooks5502 My experience is that Penn's aftercare is second to none
@@geoffbrooks5502 great reel, incidentally have you seen the videos i have done recently about the mag 4 rod?
