I'm Albert and I'm here to talk about how easy it is to get into spin fishing for trout. You really don't need much to do that. Just a medium light action spinning rod, some line, some snap swivels, and some lures. It also helps to have something to unhook your fish, like a pair of forceps. Pretty cheap and inexpensive . Maybe some clippers. But you can do it pretty inexpensively and you don't have to even carry much with you. This I literally pulled out of my bag, it's just a small tackle box with a few spinners in it and a few snap swivels, that I just keep in here and keep in my pocket to replace anything that I lose or if I want to try something of a different color. It's handy to have a net so you can land your fish quickly, especially if water temperatures are warmer, and get them unhooked and released. That's literally all you need. What I have here for spin fishing for trout... An important thing you want is a snap swivel. It avoids a lot of ...

Hey, this is Luke Symes with Salt Strong. Today we're going to be talking about the best type of rod and reel for inshore, saltwater fishing. This is something that I did wrong for many years and I wasted money, and so I just wanted to make sure that you don't make the same mistake. And so what I did, I came from the Bass World and we're talking about saltwater baitcasting reels compared to spinning reels for inshore saltwater fishing. I came from bass fishing and I was exclusively using bait casting reels. I loved them and I actually frowned upon, I looked down upon spinning reels, thinking that they were for beginners. So when I transitioned this to saltwater, I stuck with the bait casting gear and I really struggled. I really struggled for a long time. And what really helped me improve, is actually once I did start using spinning tackle again, and I'll explain to you the reasons why, at least the reasons why I think it was, and I'll be very curious to get...

Today I'm going to answer the age old question. Can you distance cast a line counter reel ? This is a Kuma Coldwater, it's really meant for trolling. You can also use it for back bouncing for catfish from a boat, but I'm going to try to do something that it's not intended for. I'm going to try to distance cast at one of my favorite bank spots. I've got 50 pound Power Pro on here and I have not calibrated it, so it's going to be off by a few feet. Says 144 feet. It did try to bird's nest on me, but I had my thumb on it, so I kept that from birds nesting. I'll leave this out there and see if we can catch a fish before I try casting it again, and I'm going to get my other rod and reel out. Other reel I brought with me is my Cat Max on a Nightstick 50 pound Power Pro. This is my new bank casting rig. It's just a double swivel with the weight on the main line, and the moveable swivel where the bait is. Felt like it casts the same. I gues...
