Great Review! We have all Ancient Mariner 6000 reels (blue with orange whisker seeker line as well…lol), along with his rods, on our boat, fantastic equipment. Thank you for putting out such a great review!
Found a 6000 series in Santee Cooper. It was under water so long the metal is pitted. Stripped it down cleaned it and works great. Obviously good quality reels.
Man that's cool! And yea I agree they are top notch reels, good materials, well built. Since this video I have bought several other brands, I have finally decided on Ancient Mariners.. have took off all my Penns and replaced with AM 7000s.
Yeah, I just bought three of them Rod reels. They are smooth and they go along way with very little effort and retrieving like you said is awesome. I like them better than my abu Garcia that I have.
I don't think you will regret it. Have had great luck with mine. Thank you for watching and for the comments! Hope you catch some good ones with your new reel 👍🏻
@losethealtitude7730 that's gonna be a great combo! If I can ever help with info, tips or in any way just holler! Thanks for watching hope you catch some good ones 👍🏻
I’ve been getting these on line through him directly there not 150 for the combo anymore the challenger rods have had 100 sharks and black drum to 50 u cam out a Penn 146 which is about the same size love the reels 3-5 years no issues I always back the drags off stainless parts. A plus. Great reel for the money 💰
@@FishinNFreedom1776 i own 3 of the mad katz and my brother has 3 as well. I wont buy another rod. The customer service is excellent. Those boys at mad katz are awesome.
No sir, they do look alot like a ming yang but alot of the guts are different and the dealers I've asked said that Ancient Mariner makes everything their self. Just got home from fishing this exact reel was one I was using lol.. it's still in action
