Gotten*

They do perform well but the build quality isn't there that's why people pay the extra for shimano or the likes

Holy shit dude! That thing is massive!

Why not use the same rod? This doesnt really tell us casting distance otherwise let alone the line difference.

Fat and Flat

Makes me homesick!

“Shaq”God bless this great man

Very interesting hearing that these work in saltwater as well. I live in Florida on the gulf coast. I fish primarily for bass (largemouth and peacock) and a lot of our canals/ponds are brackish and it can be hard to tell if the water is fresh or brackish. I’ve always been afraid to use my lews bass reels in brackish water, but this video makes me feel much better.

this doent prove anything can the cheaper reel bring in the same weight without busting the gears ore the drag

As much as I fish I don’t think that reel would last me more then 3 months

Great Vid. What are the wooden display cases for your old reels? Thanks

Seems like a "solo" skiff...

I just oder the 40 dollar one..lol

What lure

Did you REALLY call that real a "SOYBEAN"????

wow ive just got the exact same reel with the same handle ready for my saltwater fishing

What type of Power-Knob please? Actually purchased me a new Vanford a week ago and want to also add a Power-Knob on as well. The one you have has nice coloring!

Backbone, Schmackbone. Not so much an issue with 1/4 oz weight. I am beginning to think, as of late, that the type of braking is not nearly as important as having it well adjusted. Where I think the Shimano or other premium reels shines is in the quality of the bearings, free or fixed spool design, quality of the levelwind components, etc.Also in general I would expect the Chinese reels to not last as long as a high end reel,and IMHO durability is the real reason to prefer a more expensive reel, apart from smoothness, fit and finish, and just simple pride of ownership. For most small reel, small bait fishing, anything much over 100' casts is all gravy. 40 yards is great and there is not much point in agonizing over the distance when you can get 40 yards with any consistency while throwing 1/4 oz. No marks for the cheap reel brake setting? Carry a grease pencil with you. If you try this with 1/8 oz and if you optimize the brake settings for the Shimano, you might see more of a difference. But having said that, all I have is cheap reels or elderly used higher quality reels. No way will I pay the big bucks for a brand new "rich man" reel.

With what you pay for one of these you're better off buying a seadoo fish pro. It has storage. Fishfinder/gps. Cooler with 4 rod holders. You can add another cooler you can use as a livewell. If you catch anything you can buy a gel pouch that you throw in the freezer and stays cold.

This is why I love my PDL. Always ready to go.

And especially when your using a dc real which is like digital control brake system or something like that why it makes that sound def it’s about the brakes and not tension knob.

Shimano is not known for casting long… they’re known for smoothness accuracy and just greatness. They’re not long casters.

14,000 for a boat you are crazy but its your money all the place you go I can go in my john boat

Thanks for most valuable info from you....

Could I use 15 lb power pro slick 8?

There is absolutely no quantifiable result period look at the difference in a whole period for 10 $ it kills Shimano

The mod will compromise the water resistance and makes it impossible to use in high impact environments. I like my 3.5mm mic adapter

Great episode you guys. 😎

living the dream devil dog.

I use my branded reels when i need accuracy. I use my Chinese reels when i need distance

I put two 60lbs bag of concrete at the bow of my Tracker 14 with a 15hp Merc on the back and hit 27.5 all day long.

Oh I want to see these! I’ve only seen them playing Oregon Trail 😂

What is the length and diameter of those rollers, tbone ear to ear? Trying to decide if I should go with this

Where's that at ?

Love that you keep calling them "soy bean" 😅

I have one of those cheap Amazon baitcasters. It casts just as far as my Tatula. But it feels cheap. I bought it to take on my kayak so if I drop it overboard I'm not out $200. Good rundown. Thanks.

I’ve heard on the Suzuki (& maybe Tohatsu?) 9.9hp, you can simply swap the carb & restrictor plate, and it’s now a 20hp. Combine that with a good prop and you’ll have double the power at the same weight!

lost about 22 pounds over the last year... maybe give it a shot :P

You have Samsung mobile😂

Got 2 reel 2500 and 3000 model

so much for that so called brand name you just spent more money for nothing i have two sougayilang and they perform very well and by testing different line sizes my twenty pound braid keep it from birdnesting two years and still catching fish the secret in these reels are wd40
