At sea with the world champion Saverio Rosa of the Trabucco Team for a coastal Trolling session with live bait.
The main goal of this sea fishing session is to catch bluefish and leerfish by testing one of the new flagship of Trabucco brand, the Trabucco Windrose Titanium Acid Plus 8 lbs, a light trolling rod, but equipped with all the many technical features of the rods of the same family, but with greater poundage.
The lightweight and flexible blank made of high modulus carbon Nano Fiber Carbon houses low profile Sea Guide rings mounted according to the spiral structure Acid, which gives this ultra-light rod that plus to be able to win even fights with predators fierce enough.
An innovative rod design: hard plastic stock to facilitate a faster extraction from the support in case of rubbing, Eva handle for a more stable grip and Alps reel-bearing plate for greater stability of the reel.
In a spot that undoubtedly presents all the characteristics of the ideal habitat of bluefish and leerfish, although of modest size, the first bluefish to face the light equipment in front of them arrive and Saverio shows his spectators how the Windrose plus is performing but also extremely fun for this type of coastal trolling.
As mentioned above, a live bait fishing session, the fish used as bait is a horse mackerel, a typical bait of coastal fishing. Instead of the usual trigger, Saverio, to maximize the chances of catching the day, chooses to use a hybrid fishing system with two hooks, a ferrating and a leading one and shows how to trigger the horse mackerel in order to create a well calibrated trap and measured to the attacks of the bluefish.
After passing the hook in the nasal cavity of the horse mackerel, being careful not to damage excessively the organs of the head, the wire is adjusted and the second hook is inserted near the tail of the bait.
The great recommendation of Saverio is to insert this second hook in a position further back than the common position and therefore closer to the tail of the horse mackerel, this is because otherwise the bluefish, which usually attacks as first thing the tail of the bait, may not find the hook because too far.
The Trabucco Windrose Titanium Acid Plus is accompanied by the Maxel Sealion 08 LH reel, a reel that is boasted not only for its undoubted technical characteristics but also for its reliability and longevity, unchanged after several years of fishing.
As for the fishing system, a hybrid system, specifically designed to meet two purposes and be able to adapt well to the two species in the viewfinder of the fishing session. A line built to be, at the same time, resistant to the sharp mouthparts of the bluefish but also quite invisible to the careful and suspicious eyes of the leerfish.
On the reel a high quality braided, Trabucco X8 Extreme Pro, a braided with 8 ends whose main feature is the roundness that allows you to cut the water and better succeed in winning the marine predators.
The rig has been built with 15 meters of fluorocarbon FC 403 Ultra Strong Saltwater, the most famous fluorocarbon of Trabucco brand. The system is now equipped with a swivel to allow the discharge of twists due to the phases of combat with the fish or the speed of trolling.
From the swivel to the hooks, another two and a half metres of the same fluorocarbon, same diameter 0.50, on which robust hooks, the Shinken Trabucco, are mounted. The last part of the rig, the one just before the fish hook, is reinforced with steel cable.
Quickly create this hybrid system, invisible thanks to the use of fluorocarbon, resistant thanks to the braid and steel wire, which in this line is inserted only in the end to resist the sharp teeth of the bluefish, without bothering too much any leerfish that does not like to eat the cable.
Watch the full video and discover all the secrets of Saverio. What method will you have used to connect braided and fluorocarbon without affecting the resistance of the fishing system?
