You say oh my amateur hour when you don’t replace yr crushed jighead. Man don’t worry, just watching you cast, I can tell you can fish a bit. The good sessions will come. Compared to me, man, I like my fishing, and I go a lot, but I’ve only caught four Flatties over the 60cm mark, including my p.b. 94cm one, that always makes me look better than I am. I recommend you try catch some big Tailor and Salmon off the beaches this Winter. That can be some crazy fishing. Tailor over 50cm go man.😮
Hahaha thanks for watching brother!! Appreciate the kind words! A 94cm is really impressive! Hopefully I can get one that big some day, I might need to try fishing in other areas though, it's really hard to find many over 80cm where I fish! I will definitely move towards doing some salmon/tailor fishing as we move into winter, would be fun to do some catch and cook videos on the beach etc! All the best :))
Thanks Steve! With the 76 Snipe being rated to cast up to 21 grams in comparison to the 35 grams of the 78 snipe, the rod is certainly quite a bit lighter and more sensitive in the tip. Essentially, the 76 is a slightly shorter and more "whippy" version of the 78. The 76's lighter, more responsive tip allows for greater finesse and precision when working smaller lures. Both rods offer plenty of power, but my choice between the two depends largely on the type of lures I'm planning to use. For larger soft plastics (7-9inches), heavy vibes, or diving lures between 20 and 35grams, I’d go with the 78. It has the strength to handle heavier lures and provides the extra power needed for inshore species or even small pelagics when you’re fishing light but still need to pack a punch. But with that said, the 78 also excels when casting heavier lures in estuaries for big flatties or mulloway. On the other hand, I prefer the 76 for situations where I need to impart more action into the lure myself. It's the go-to rod for lighter surface lures or medium soft plastics, like jerk shads, where deliberate movements to the lure from the rod are essential. The 76 really shines in medium estuary environments, perfect for targeting species like flathead, big tailor and decent sized jewfish, but it's also awesome for trout in lakes, snapper, or medium-sized reef fish on the flats. For example, if I was chasing a 20kg mulloway, the 78 would be my choice for its power and ability to handle bigger fish. But if I’m flicking a jerk shad on a 1/4 ounce jig head at flathead on sand flats, I’d pick up the 76. Hope that helps! :)
@@Pootuffy Thank you, that was very helpful. I have the 72 Snipe which I use for the bigger hardbodies and SP's from shore for Mulloway, heaps of power and it will throw smaller and lighter lures but it will straighten the smaller trebles on occasion, I was thinking the 76 would still give me a good chance of stopping a bigger mulloway with lighter drag settings, but could still be used with hardbodies in the 6 to 15 g range. Another application I would use it for is Micro jigging off the beach for Salmon, jigs from 10 to 15g,
Yes! A video using that lure is coming soon! That's awesome though, biggest I got using that lure so far was in the 70s, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a bigger one to eat it soon!
Cool. Thanks. Great Vid. Love shallow flats fishing.
Thanks for watching! And yeah it's sooo fun fishing on these ultra shallow flats!

I'd like to know your thoughts on the Zenaq 76 Snipe, how it compares to the 78 Snipe and what other uses would it be good for. Great vids

Got the 76 Snipe today, works great
do you have a video using that savage fear swimbait? i used one and landed some monsters in the 90 to 100cm zone
Yes! A video using that lure is coming soon! That's awesome though, biggest I got using that lure so far was in the 70s, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a bigger one to eat it soon!
@@Pootuffy almost landed them. lost big one right by the boat
That always hurts man :( You'll get one eventually I'm sure!
Hey what kind of boat do you have?
Hey mate! It's a Stacer Outlaw 449 centre console!
i was using this lure today and it got absolutely smashed
That's awesome brother!! It's an awesome lure, one of my favourites at the moment :))
@@Pootuffy yeah i was using it out in altona pier and it got ripped to smth big idk what it was but there were teeth marks on it
