We talk about Rods like the Googan squad Go-To fishing rod, twitch fishing rod, reaction fishing rod, finesse and finesse light spinning rods, and the Muscle rod in both the green and gold series and talk about the differences between Googan squad gold and green series rods and our full Shimano lineup including the best fishing line to use for each rod and Gear ratio on each one as well.

What do y’all want to see us add to the lineup for our next arsenal video?

@The-iy4kp 3 года назад

What is the underspin, what brad is it

@The-iy4kp 3 года назад

The underspin that you use what brand is it

@WestinSmith 3 года назад

I believe that was one I picked up from Karl’s bait and tackle although there are a lot of options out there. Woo! Tungsten might be the brand we were using

@thebeardedangler8714 3 года назад

Since you’re such a swimbait guy maybe which rods you can throw swimbaits on (obviously the muscle) and if you can get away with throwing smaller ones on different rods and line test you would use. Thanks again Westin love the content. Hope you did something nice for Devon for Valentine’s Day ❤️

Legit stuff, man!!! I have a gold Go-to with a shimano DC with 15lb floro and a gold twitch with a Lew's reel. One of the first things I noticed is how the rods load up and cast! I'll be picking up more in the future.

Noo Zodias is gone!! Love Shimano! Your reels are legit!! I also bought the St croix swim bait rod cause of you guys and happy so far☝🏻

@WestinSmith 3 года назад

Yeah the Zodias was nice but I couldn’t justify keeping it after snapping the older Swimbait rod and needing a new one. The trade made more sense and now I’ve got those Googan spinning rods so I’m set

@natel5039 3 года назад

The daiwa sv tws Hs 7.3:1 is great for the muscle rod. It's great for light and heavy lures and is a work horse of a reel. Definitely worth it. I have all Shimano except for that one

@creekcrankin6036 3 года назад

Nice collection dude! You'll have a lot more fun with those crankbaits with a lower gear ratio rod. Especially if you're really thinking about tournament fishing. I hope you still are. Because I'd love to see how someone starts out tournament fishing besides doing what I did and just doing online ones 😂

@jessehillis7830 3 года назад

Man you got some sweet gear my friend!! Love this upload, it's always cool to see what gese people are using! I would say keep it shimano with the reels. I love my lews and penn reels but if I could I would only use shimano!!

I ordered The Green GoTo Rod and GoTo bundle box, a muscle box, a revolver from Karl's and I got the muscle bundle box and revolver but the revolver was in the wrong color 😅, the GoTo bundle box had the twitch bundle inside it and they seem to have lost my rod some where... the tracking number went inactive...

Can you put a lews tournament pro, it’s a black and gold reel. It would look good with a gold rod

@MelodyTymee 3 года назад

Been thinking about getting one of those googan gold series “go to” rod. Does it feel tip heavy? And how’s the sensitivity? Thanks

@SaulTeebolz 3 года назад

I ordered a dobyns Sierra med-heavy on Black Friday . As everyone else, my shipment took a LOOOOONG time to get sorted out. Over the next couple months, I would periodically track the pkg, it would say that it was stuck in a postal facility in Texas ... so I finally decided to write TW to see if I could get some help. They apologized and they said the package was lost and that they would re send my rod. It must be my lucky week because I just got the re-sent rod and a few days later, the missing rod ended up coming as well! What a come up! These dobyns Sierra rods are so siiiiiiick!!

Had some BPS gift cards burning a hole in my pocket and ended up ordering a Metanium DC yesterday. I love my 16 and 20 Metaniums so I figured I’d complete the collection. Kinda sucks we got some historically cold weather here in Houston. Can’t decide what rod I’m going to get, leaning towards a Megabass Carbon Head Destroyer or Valkyrie.

@ctutt0862 3 года назад

Hey man 13 fishing came out with a reel a minute ago but no one seems to have a quality video on it, on RU-vid at least, it’s the 13 fishing Concept BOSS, I know it’s pretty expensive and you could get more content out spending money on other stuff but I don’t even really know what the reel looks like aside from pictures, would be sweet if you picked one up even if you returned it.

@WestinSmith 3 года назад

To be honest it’s not really a viable comparison since the Googan Rods don’t offer a 1-4oz heavy Swimbait rod. I haven’t used any of the standard sized Mojo Bass rods to make the comparison to something like the Go To rod etc. When GS starts making some BIG SWIMBAIT rods I’m sure I’ll be grabbing them!
