I walked into the Hastings Angling Centre when I was around 12, asked what their cheapest rod and reel were, and they gave me one of each for free! Wasn't expecting to see it pop up here.
I leave about an inch on both tails of a leader knot, I think cutting them off short causes two quick jarring actions going through mainly the runners, mainly the tip end one.. Leaving a tail on the tag ends helps them pass through more smoothly. Also a bit of vaseline on the knot and ends reduces friction aswell.
This is more than a tutorials and promotion for his local fish shop, most basic things the right way to tie the hook, recognize when you have a fush hooked and then how to deal with the fish aftet catching one is NOT explained.
I love this video, it's so helpful. It's been years since I was fishing. I fell out of love with it, but motivated to restart. I'm from Kent. I'm looking at a new rod, you suggest upto 6 oz, I'm considering 8oz as I might fish dungeness which I remember being quite intense, so not sure if 6oz will be OK?? A penn tidal XR with matching reel comes to mind. I'm also starting lure/float fishing and have everything I need for that. Please let me know your thoughts, and thanks again for your videos, your lagoon video was awesome too 👍
Im just about to start Sea fishing and Im looking through your videos for the last two days, I feel like there's a lot of useful information compacted in them, easy to watch, entertaining, straight to the point, already learnt a lot lot. Thanks dude
I went second time fishing since I was a child and i was going with my grandfather. I bought Shimano TX1 about £30 i think its carp rod and a massive Shimano Reel about £70. I spooled the first time some 15lb carp line Korda mono. When I was casting 100-gram weight the one that is for distance casting. It snapped and I heard the lead going fsssss near my ear somewhere.
For my second trip I bought 20-something lb Daiwa J Braid x4 dark green. In addition, I bought the sea rigs that you showed. I do not know how it happened but when I was pulling the line, I saw a massive knot on the braid. Took a while to sort it out. I managed to do one very good cast, the feeling is very nice once you get it right.
I am looking now to get a proper surf rod and reel. Do you know where, is the best spot to catch some big fish from beach or pier or sea wall in the area between Portsmouth and Dover? The first time I got 6 dogfish from the seawall Samphire Hoe. Delicious fish but nightmare to clean the skin, I used pliers… The second time I did not catch anything on West Arm the Marina in Brighton.

Great video Matt, everything a begginer needs to get started. Great info
i fished the bristol chanel for years on the welsh side with a budget diawa rod and reel still got the both
Can I ask why you placed your rod at an angle to the water? Does it serve a specific purpose?
Fisch players after watching this:

Isle of Lewis, great place to live and fish.
