Congrats Mike on the new PB! That fish was a tank. Great breakdowns, too. My son and I love Royal Orbas - they are part rubber, part bucktail, and super easy to cast and use. We don't have a musky on one yet, but a ton of pike and huge bass.
Thanks for watching Dean! The fish was a straight up tank! The Royal Orba could be the worst kept secret in all of musky fishing! It's no secret that we love that thing!
very nice "pike" lol. i have said that before. I am guessing that was close to mid summer? thanks sagain for the whiteboard breakdowns. Is that MOAB with the Revolution seat really worth it? Is it a do all rod? I just finally found one near me but ouch the Can dollar sucks
Thanks for watching! Yes mid summer! I think the MOAB can do pretty much anything. But some might feel it's too stiff and reach for a shock and awe or swat. But for me, 90% of what I do is with that rod. I personally love the Revo reel seats, but best to hold it with a reel to be sure. And yes, any of the newer rods put a dent in the wallet.
Mike here and I was casting a surgical Strike that day, you can see it bend over alot but hold up. Still using that rod from Chaos, added a Swat for this season.
Just one of those days that things come together. I've seen fish in that spot, we caught a 47" only 100 yards away so it has potential. Having this stuff on video is just so cool to go back and relive those moments. Thanks for watching Matt, you know what it feels like. The work to set up the video is always worth it in the end!
