As a budget, but completely obsessed, bass angler, I truly appreciate your dedication to making sure your viewers know exactly what we are spending our money on. Your breakdowns are, in my opinion, the most helpful by far in educating me on how I can get the best quality for the buck on all my reels. You are greatly appreciated, keep it up and I’ll keep watching👊🏻

Wow what a nice looking Reel. I have a second hand Shimano Caius the new model I got from eBay for 33 bucks and it feels like a 100 dollar Reel and the Knobs are by far my favorite aspect of the Reel. I’m in Caius territory and can’t imagine using something that nice but I bet it’s one of the best you can get. Cool Video my Friend

Whoa! Very curado 70 lookin…which is good, the curado 70/engetsu is the most comfortable baitcaster I’ve ever held in hand. It’s not my favorite…that still goes to the aldebaran 30/50 but if this reel is indeed a curado 70 type frame and they’ve updated the brakes (I could never find a comfortable medium with mine…too unpredictable), I might have to give this thing another shot.

@cheezyridr Год назад

these days, casting reels are like smartphones. alot of folks buying new reels every year are chasing incremental improvements. my bfs reel is a jdm daiwa sv lite ltd. certainly not new by any measure. but it still works great, and does every thing i need it to do, so i won't be replacing it any time soon. i bought it on this channel's recommendation, and i have never been disappointed. my bass reel is a curado dc 150 hg. also not even close to new. still does everything it's supposed to do. it is ready for some service though. it's got some serious mileage on it. it's a great reel, but i don't really think i get alot of use out of the dc feature. i think it would have been just as good without it. however, i'm old school, and learned to use my thumb properly many decades ago.

@leepao6302 Год назад

It’s because business monopolize in America, if American bring all these JDM reels into the US nobody would want to buy other brands (like: Lews, Abu, Quantum, 13 fishing and Pflueger) in its price point competition, so to keep it a level plane field they (US) will literally sabotage any JDM reel to lower the price and so other brands can compete with it, because nobody can’t touch Shimano or Daiwa in terms of price + performance, that’s what I know
