Love these tackle-talk vids! I was wondering, in a couple of months I’m going in my first trip chasing GT off the rocks in Tonga. Since I life in Holland I have no one here to teach me haha, could you tell me something about the fight with a GT? Like what to do when you know the fish is going for structure to cut you off and how to adjust the drag during the fight. Keep m coming Briggsy!
@Briggsy
6 жыл бұрын
I set the drag to start with at I think about 12kg - 15kg and crank it up to around 20kg as soon as it hooks up. If they run even on that setting I tighten until the fish slows down and once i'm pumping them and it feels like they can't take any line I loosen off a bit. The exception to this is that one fish we saw sitting at the ledge, when I knew there was a chance to hook him I braced myself and tightened up to well over 20kg (could only just turn the spool a few clicks with your hand using all your strength), so because I knew I might hook him I could brace myself and I even had my rod already in the fighting belt when he hit the lure. That kinda thing is very rare though and usually I'm doing what I said first ^.

Those are some crazy drag settings man haha! really makes you respect GT. You reckon a 5500h expo could do the job on medium sized GT in the 10-20 kg range, or would I really need an 8000h expo? since it will be the first time chasing GT I'm not really targeting tho 50kg+ haha.

Popper is a great way to bring them up from the deep, so yeah they'll hit them in deep just as well as shallow. Best spot to hook up is out wide in the deep water because you can fight them out away from the rocks/reef, but more often than not they'll follow the lure in close and hit you at your feet!

Hi mate, most the time it's only about 2m long because I don't cast the knot, I think that the FG banging on the guides over time damages it and you'll get more wind knots, also won't cast as far. The other boys cast their knot and have about 3m leaders, doesn't seem to bother them but I'm just weird. Prolly switch to the 3m leader the day I get reefed with the 2m haha.

@Briggsy
6 жыл бұрын
For me, it's always either the lead up to new or full with a preference to new. The big tides = big current which is the direct connection but, there's also something else happening that I don't really understand where right around the new or full the fish just go absolutely mental (not just GT). Had it a few times where they're just 'on' and other than the moon couldn't tell much of a difference to the previous days in terms of water temp, wind direction, time of day etc. it really seemed like they just lost it on the moon! So if you're planning a trip aim for the lead up to full or new and make sure you fish the peak and a day or two after, try both and see what you reckon but I like new a bit more.

Hi mate, stoked you dig the film! Pre order not really possible just because if we offered that they prolly all sell before we get them and then have to deal with stuff like we don't get the amount of lures we were expecting because lure builder is flat out and can only do a smaller batch so then people miss out who've already paid etc. But I can tell you there's a lot more to come this year and you'll have more options from different companies.

Hi mate, Stoked you got something from it! With Drag, in general, I set it to about 10kg-12kg to start, which is just a guess off the feel of comparing that to where the halfway mark is on the reel (feeling where max drag is and working out where half way to that is from zero buy turning the spool with your hand at different settings (or just buy a scale I guess haha)), half way for the doggers should be about 15kg. I set it to about 1/3 max (10kg-12kg) so I don't get pulled off the rocks when they hit, and if im standing in a dodgey spot i'll set it to more like 5kg-7kg. After they hit on the lighter drag I get sorted in a good position and crank it up until they stop running, can still have a few clicks coming out but I want that first run for the reef to pretty much be stopped and drag tight enough that my pumps start bringing him to me not just spinning the reel each lift. I've felt my drag after a fight where i didn't loosen off and it's up around 2/3rds of max (20kg+) few more cranks and the reel is locked. (I've heard that dogfights fully locked down can put out way more than 30kg, so my numbers could be higher than I say they are... I think I might get some scales and make a film about setting drag and just see how good I am at guessing the numbers, important part is they stop running and that you don't get pulled in initially) The fish that we saw and all cast at I had already set my drag past this ^ fighting point (because I knew I was going to hook him at my feet and there's reef everywhere). In that case where I knew I was going to hook up I set it where you could only just turn a click or two with your hand on the spool using all your strength. But I also locked myself into a good position and fully braced myself/was ready for the hit, rod was even already in the fighting belt when working the lure. Don't know much about crimps at all but I all the top GT fishos i've talked to and even kingfish fishos (like Milan from BAF) use the Uni Knot as well, 4-6 wraps I prefer 4 though cus 6 just gets a bit wild to tie!

Briggsy champion mate, thanks for the detailed response. I’m running a 14k Stella so I guess similar drag if not a little less that your doggy. I’ll have a play around by feel but might get some scales (I need a set for my gamefishing gear anyway). Uni sounds the go, I’ve got a trip to Hinchinbrook in two months and want to make sure I’m locked and loaded for that! There’s a vid on my channel of me getting busted by a GT in Fiji and I’m pretty sure that was a knot failure. Cheers again mate.

Love your video especially in term of being prepared for any situation!!! Could you let me know from this video, which knot you are using (and how to) to attach you swivel with the 200lb Mono! The leader is so thick that a uni knot also doesn't work (for me at least)... Thank you in advance for your answer! All the best.
