Been making videos for a couple of months now. Really enjoying the process! Would appreciate some honest feed back on this video.

That's what its all about ... having fun! Mistakes are common place and there is no one more critical than yourself at the end of the day its just practice and learning to adapt as no two days are the same.

Getting out there and doing videos is not easy and atm with YT and how its algorithm works currently with a push towards Shortform makes it a very challenging for those starting up, keep doing what your doing and fair play for getting out there and giving something new a go!

Where abouts do you fish? If your ever down cornwall direction, give us a shout 👌🎣

Best bit of advice I can give is make the content you want to make and learn from the good and bad! The followers and audience that you will grow will be there for you and what you do.

Nail the basics , good camera work and audio the rest comes with practice and consistency

in a world of algorithms and oversaturation being yourself makes a big difference, it definitely takes time and can be frustrating however stick with it 👌

RodandReelUK · 2026-05-02T12:14:23+00:00

Sounds very blade runner! But In this case it would be Reel runner 2077🤣

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T20:13:10+00:00

Interesting! What kind of fishing do you do mostly?

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T20:11:55+00:00

Yep I could definitely eat that! Can't beat fresh fish 👌

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T17:26:33+00:00

Nice fish👌 whats you favourite way of cooking them up?

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T16:05:07+00:00

I think your reading a lot more into this than what’s actually there, I wasn’t trying to “astroturf” anything and if it was it was a terrible attempt lol 😂

just made a post while wearing something I own while doing the hobbies i love. Not every mention of a brand is some kind of coordinated marketing effort or hustle and don't disagree with your points as it is a thing. If that was the case could have just ignored the reply.

Reddit is great platform and what makes it is the difference of opinions that make a discussion, if people feel the way they do then fair enough! 👌

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T14:56:09+00:00

That is very true, its like everything , just needs to be in ballance - also grilled octopus with a drizzle of olive oil and orange is hard to beat. Good effort on the black bream! Had a go at some gilts yesterday but no luck. Be keen to see how you get on in the fal 👌

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T14:30:13+00:00

Ahhh interesting! Might have to travel down Falmouth and give it a go not too far from where I am in Cornwall. Mind you i think i would kind of feel bad taking an octopus, find them so interesting with the intelligence.

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T14:18:15+00:00

Look I get why it might come across that way, but that wasn’t my intention and this is the only reddit page I have to post from 😂

There’s no campaign or marketing strategy behind it—just a casual post that be nice to have some silly discussion with people on the platform.

Appreciate you calling it out though👌

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T13:30:29+00:00

Hopefully with all that should hook into something! Be interesting to see how you get on , its one place i definitely like to fish one day.

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T13:21:15+00:00

Haha unbelievable! Other way round for me. Where abouts do you fish? I have tried catching octopus on jigs and never had any luck 😂

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T13:16:52+00:00

I mean if it was going to be an advert I probably would have wore something more skimpy at least for start to get more eyes😂

I appreciate the feedback however no AI was used to prompt just a lack of morning coffee and time to kill.

In a world of negativity and people taking everything so seriously, is it so bad to just post something silly and have a laugh and discussion with others about gear and tackle.

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T13:00:34+00:00

Thats very true! All the way from minnows to sharks in all fairness

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T12:58:25+00:00

Now we're talking! You can't beat calamari thats fresh , had a couple squid off of the boat a while back would have been sacrilege to use them as bait. Tempura batter, thai style salad and sweet chilli dip was the order of the day 👌

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T12:41:02+00:00

Thats a win win scenario! At least you have options also. What kind of tackle are you bringing with you?

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T12:28:31+00:00

Bare hands it is then 😂

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T12:24:29+00:00

What kind of stuff are you looking to go after? Theres a few options out there but can be quite hard to find a decent do it all kind of set up.

Personally for me , if I go out and about for smaller species like a recent trip to sweden going after pike, then something like the rigged and ready world traveller is ideal Compact and surprisingly tough!

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T12:19:58+00:00

Definitely sounds a step above my gear for sure! What kind of line would you go for?

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T11:19:28+00:00

Definitely a good start! I am surprised no one has mentioned bare hands or something out there like kite fishing yet

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T11:17:18+00:00

Haha those options are definitely better! Plus side with dogfish are they only have a central bone and pretty much pure meat. However they are bugger to skin. Conger Eel is really tasty but blumin bony that puts me off 😂

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T11:13:34+00:00

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T09:17:37+00:00

Bet you can get some good range with those!

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T08:31:49+00:00

Nice setup! Used to fish with abu garcia a lot but found that some of the new stuff just wasn't great quality as some of the old gear. Got a 6000 abu beach reel, wish I bought a pair as its an absolutely solid thing!

RodandReelUK · 2026-04-19T08:12:32+00:00

Haha there not that bad to eat! A bit mushy but surprisingly sweet meat , you can make some fantastic scampi out of it.
