My advice to every angler is make a list of what you need through the year, and buy it when TW does their Black Friday sale. Hope you all have a great spring and catch your pb!
Been looking for a new bass pro to root for. I’m a little older and relate to a lot of the old schoolers but you have my vote man. Good luck this year.
Seems like daiwa reels always come grease free if you ever hear it start screaming. That tatula elite is great for bombing casts, I use it for frogging.. expensive frog reel but it's all metal. SV is good for lighter lures. Bantam has that butter and effortless feel with the Infiniti drive, cranks like a tank.
Can't wait to see the boat brother. Great video and looking forward to seeing you out on the water! LFG baby, show them boys what a big bag really looks like!!!!!!!
I saw your podcast with Mercer. I can’t speak for anyone else but the few people I do watch on douche tube your videos are is the single channel I have learned the most from and have caught more and bigger fish because of it. Keep stompin man! You have people that depend on your videos such as myself to learn how to be a better angler! Thanks for all you do man! Good luck in the opens! You got MF’r nation behind you!
I bet you’re at the first event! We have been waiting for the first open! I can just about bet you have way more fans pulling for you than any other angler! I wish they would put this tournament on live. If anyone was ever ready you are are the one. Go set it on fire!
Gamma line is phenomenal, specially the Torque, glad to see you using Edge, I have used it in the past as well, it is made in my home town by a relative! I will admit I use Pline for almost everything but braid where I use Gamma 100%
I know you were busy with pre-fishing and the open (congrats on the top 5 finish) but was just wondering if I missed the announcement of the prize winner
Lol .I love having both Daiwa and Shimano reels.Have to say, for the price point though,Slx /Slx mg are hard to beat .Real tough.. Daiwa Fuego in that price range not close imo.
Would be rad to see a video of maybe some of the swimbaits you're gonna trust this upcoming season! Cool insight since you will be one of the few who will be doing it
Lol...Ben says the Bantam is an expensive Reel, "too nice" for him, then says one will be replacing a Metanium for Flippin! 🤣 Ben Connecting with his inner JDM fan boy! 😍 😉 You are right about there being guys who will flip their lids over you using Diawa and Shimano...lol, too funny!
What size wire do you like to wrap around your hooks to add weights? Also do you change out hooks to longer shanks to be able to add some wire to them more effectively?
I have had major issues with diawa customer service but not a single issue with Shimano. The reels may be similar but the customer service definitely is not!
Good luck Ben. You’ll be fishing with a great young fisherman this week. I wish both of you lots luck and great hooksets. Your both good people. His name is Jackson Sullivan. Y’all wreck em.
I really like how you are open for all the different fishing tackle brands that are out there and unlike to some other youtube fisherman or tackle review channels can give us some unbiased feedback. What are your opinions about the Tranx 300 / Tatula 300? I am looking for a Glidebait Reel for up to 8-9 Oz baits. I've *heard* that the Tatula casts smoother than the Tranx. What is your experience as someone who fishes swimbaits very frequently? Best greetings and wishes
I have a Tatula reel but have only used it once. I really didn't think that one through since I had never used a baitcaster before. I don't know how to set them up so I can cast it out. Tried following the instructions but no matter where I have anything set at when I cast my test bait just slams into the water. 😂🤣😂🤣
Dude I love the tatulas, then I got an sv tw and hated everything else ever since…not really but they’re sick. Would love to get my hands on an elite one day.
Why/how do you put on and use the leader line? I am from the north and 25 pound line seems a little small when all it takes is for a northern pike to eat my bait
I’m new to glide bait fishing. Have a rod but looking for a real. What suggestions do you have for gear ratio. Thanks for the content and looking forward to the tournament videos.
i was going to ask why i havent seen any bantams with the type of fishing you do i have one on my gloomis nr and its a beast with braid just a power reel but i think for your swim bait addiction thats basically what that reel is made for
So who was the giveaway winner? For real I thought you were announcing a winner for the rod and reel and those small swim baits. I know it's not gonna be me because I never win anything but would be nice to still know.
Whatcha doing with old reels you’re replacing? Just saying, a brother could use some used reels for upcoming Illinois B.A.S.S. tournaments lmao! Nice haul, bud, wishing you best of luck in your upcoming pro career!
