This is a really great video! I fly fish but I want to take my grandson fishing so I got a spinning rod to help maximise his chances of fishing and keep it a bit simpler. This has been really informative.
Excellent video Shows fishing doesn’t need to be expensive Getting out by the river so good for mental health as well These rods and reels are also easily available in the UK Thanks 🙏 Excellent video
Thanks Robert, I’m doing my best to show people all aspects of fishing, from budget setups to the high end stuff, there’s so many ways to get our fishing ☺️ having no affiliation with the brands is great as I can be unbiased in my opinion and just show them all for people to make up their own minds
Glad it was helpful! A lot of people asked for the setup part, so it’s definitely worth showing every now and again, this one in this video is one of the easiest ways to get going.
I made the trip to Wildhunter yesterday as I had a voucher that was given to me at Christmas. Picked up a few spearheads, tasmanian devils, a second net for myself and a few other bits and bobs. Cracking shop, they have everything you need. I think the waders are now on my shopping list.😁
Sounds great! They have so much stuff in there , you could get lost! The waiders are a game changer for me, I need to be able to fish where others can’t get too.
Well done Senan another great video and I am sure more young lads will get into fishing after watching this which is great for our hobby. Not only are the getting great exercise from it they are getting out in nature which can only be great for their mental health and well being. Fantastic content and great channel super stuff as always.
Another very enjoyable video Senan. Purchased a UL & reel last week to try some of that BFS fishing after seeing your BFS video, looking forward to it. Must try that swivel idea next time I am at the lake / river. Tight Lines Senan.
The swivel works good with spinners definitely. For your bfs setup, I’d recommend not using a swivel, you will need to be able to reel the lure up to the eye in order to cast the lure with power on bfs setups, you will see what I mean when you casting the bfs baitcaster 😁🤝
Good vid, usefull for many no doubt. I am enjoying the channel allot and was wondering if you in time would do a vid on sea/shore/rock fishing since Ireland does have some great coasts too?
Thank you. I have a few sea fishing videos done from last summer if you go back through the channel you will find them. But will be back down again during the summer!
Glad to hear! This is more of a simplistic way to set up things but it works just fine, there’s ways to complicate it with different setups, but that’s all part of trying new systems 😁🤝
Lovely video, definetly taking on board a couple things. Would you recommend braid or mono line more? Also would you still use a swivel on a twitch/wobble lure?
Braid and mono but work great for trout, for me, there’s no huge disadvantage for either ☺️ I don’t use a swivel if I’m using wobblers, the swivel is just for spinners 🤝
The shop is a magnet for anglers 😂 il throwing in these sorts of videos to show people the smaller river style of wild fishing, lots of people start with the advanced electronics on boats and miss out on this style of fishing
Nice one mate - ordered this gear last week based on your recommendations In terms of the Ryuki lures, what size are you using on that setup? Would be interested in size and colours if possible please mate?
Anything under 60mm for the rivers is good, and the larger size for the lake, that’s what I do anyway. Any colour works with them, they are the best for spinning 100%
Hey Senan. I was fishing a fast flowing river yesterday using spinners. Caught three small trout. I found that when casting upstream, at times I had to reel as fast as I could to keep up with the current. My reel is a Shimano FX2500. Gear ratio I think is 5:1. Should I move to a 6:1 or 6.2:1 or even higher? Thanks.
Hi pal in new to river trout fishing I’m not the best but I’d love some tips on how to successfully catch a fish cos I’m struggling 😂not sure what I’m doing wrong I use spinners
Hi we don’t name any of the river locations on my channels it’s the number 1 rule of TH-cam. ☺️👍 the big lakes are different. We have to protect the rivers.
Alot you guys doing vids expect all viewers are pro standards so be help for few this vid senan plus why do you all measure metric I'm older still shilling and pence no idea what 2.4 kg is or 87cm pounds and inches too senan please for the over 50s😂top man great vids you do and you no your stuff keep them coming young feller

Thanks for that vid Senan, so many pro’s skip over the bits us novices need to know, very informative, thank you

Well senan what casting weight did you get and would this rod be good in canal catching pike and some smaller fish thanks.
Great Video Senan
Legend!
Beautiful fish Senan.
Just little guys, the big ones on the lake are too focused on eating the mayfly right now to eat lures 😁
I'll have to give in and make the trip to Athlone 😂

Mikado gear is quality. Barracuda in Dungannon sells them
Wildhunter in Athlone have them on sale, that’s who sponsors my channel.
Would this rod be any good for carp?

The rods are in metric but if you wanted to convert just convert it in Google 👍
Hi , 2.14meters is 7 foot long . ☺️👍
Yea actually use imperial for rod lengths and people's heights otherwise metric
Just think of it in bags of sugar 😂
