Very informative. You sure know your stuff. I loved your line about feeling like you were at a "bug buffet". Looking forward to seeing your next fishing video. Be well and be safe.
You should put a Stradic FL on that Expride. That's going to be my 7' med here next week. Currently I have it on a Zodias med light for drop shot but that real is soo smooth it deserves to be used with small swimbaits and more reactions baits. It deserves to be used more lol.
LOVE IT. Detail, explanation, application, variety... However... I know you're a Shimano rep (Respect) and comparing Daiwa Barking Frog light/med vs zodias light/med rods (have both), the tip on the Diawa has a faster action with additional 7~10 yds cast with incredible sensitivity. Coupled with an SLX XT (1 brake with VBS on 4), 8lb braid with 6lb leader = AWESOME even down to 3gm cast weight (0.095 ounce? 2.74gm, sorry metric system in AU). Light casts are critical here in AU. Not quite a finesse setup but darn close without spending massive $$. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Australii...
I know this video is from like a month ago but do have any experience with the 2019 poison adrena if you do how do you think they compare to a nrx and what do you think about the actions. Thanks.
Well you have a really nice selection I bought a SLX Shimano rod and reel I just didn't like it it didn't work for me don't get me wrong they're great it just wasn't for me and they are pricey !! 😊✌🏼
Hi LB Nice rod and reel arsenal👍 As your linked to Shimano do you ask for what you want or do they give you what they want to advertise? I use Westin rods for my baitcasting setups. I have the SLX DC which is amazing👍 Hope you get the time to answer my question. Tight lines 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
I have one, use it for jigs a lot because it’s comfortable and easy to palm when i pitch! I mean its a curado you cant go wrong, the smaller spools nice for casting light baits. I think its on sale on twh right now, i have heard some people having issues with grindy gears.
Ok thank you! I recently got one on Twh because of the sale and I heard about people having issues about Grindy gears like you said. I was just curios on your opinion and like you said it’s a curado so of course it will be good! And thanks for helping!
@@LadyBass Dam you have good genes, and I think your beautiful by the way. Thanks to your videos I got myself a Shimano scorpion dc and not regretting it.
I was filming a little segment for a youtube video at a local fishing show, the gentleman i was interviewing actually ended up being the local marketing manager in Ontario!
I’m a lifelong fresh and salt water fisher guy. Last year I put braid on all my rods, and before too long, I ripped it all off. I hated the braid for these reasons: I hated the limp character which made tying knots an extreme pain in the. I hated that scraping noise when reeling. I also could not see the line as it meets the water well when fighting a fish. Also, despite one of the big claims, I did not find Power Pro any more sensitive than Stren mono. Get that stuff away from me.
I just ordered the curado dc for my 8yo daughter on eBay. I didn’t know until after I hit buy but it’s coming from China 😳. Hopefully it’s not a knockoff.
Being that you're on the shimano D so hard; where are the barrel style reels? You only run low pro reels? Why? Young and don't know better? I'm confused.
@@ryana3679 I don't read about fishing. I fish, and have for over 40 years. shimano makes some of the best round reels on the market. And her answer wasn't an answer it was a shortcut to thinking. 'They are the same'. I for one went from round reels to low-pro cause they are lighter and after vertical jigging for Macks for 12 hrs a day, you can really feel a difference. @ladybass Also, and in all seriousness; does being on the 'shimano team' pigeon hole you into only using their gear? Cause that'd be a shame if thats the kinda deal you have with them,. peace
sMileHighCity now you’re talking in circle lad. One minute you’re asking why she is only using low pro reels then your saying they are great when you’re fishing all day. Pick your issue bud. As for is shimano pigeon holing her into using their stuff...... that’s part of a sponsorship gig don’t you think? When a company supples you gear they intend for you to only use their gear.
@@LadyBass THEN YOU SHOULD REALLY FACT CHECK THEY GROUPS YOU ARE SUPPORTING ON YOUR OTHER ACCOUNTS THEY ARE NOT ABOUT CHANGE THEY ARE ANTI AMERICAN SUPPORTING VIOLENCE AGAINST INNOCENT PEOPLE BLACK,WHITE BROWN OR OTHER SINGLING OUT A COLOR IS RACIST ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT IT
Some great setups. Love the stradics.
Your fishing equipment is amazing.
Hug!!!👍🎣
Thanks for the GREAT video; very informative. PLEASE do another for 21'.
You're the reason I've got two XT's in my line up and I don't see me replacing them anytime soon so thanks✊
TEXAS RIGGED same
Thanks for braving the winged vampires to show us your really nice combos. I hope that you have an awesome bass season.
you and shimano number 1 in my book. thanks for helping me with my small arsenal. like your style
Very informative. You sure know your stuff. I loved your line about feeling like you were at a "bug buffet". Looking forward to seeing your next fishing video. Be well and be safe.
Jealous of your DC reels.. just got my first DC(curado DC) paired with an abu Garcia veritas and I’m IN LOVE with it!! Keep up the good work
Nice setup👍

Absolutely love the videos!
Much love all the way from Botswana!❤️
Thanks for the insight! I'm thinking about getting a few Shimanos this year! Already have a Scorpion DC on the way!
Shimano & G Loomis ftw! Awesome line ups!
gr8 setups. still got the curado dc haha its a gr8 reel. was able to cast 60m with it. had the wind behind me so that helped a lot
60 m wow!
Omg thx for understanding you can use both left and right handed Bay casters
Nice setups, what knot do you use for the braid - fluorocarbon connection?
I use the Albright knot!
Have a 7'2" MH zodias on the way, super excited! Paired with a Curado K.
Your gonna love it!!

Do you use the FG knot for braid go fluorocarbon?
Can't wait for your swimbaits video 🤙☮️😎🙏🏻

Hey! Iv never used those rods so i cant really say much. It would be tough to beat an NRX though
Some of your reels are right and some are left hand wind ?
Yes! I use both, i like leftys for my big baits and my flipping/pitching so i dont switch hands!
nice video ! Loving sxl dc! But can’t find a perfect fit 2 pc rod for it
Hmm, baitcaster that would be tough! I know shimano has the slx and compre that have a couple options for 2 pc!
I'm using Ugly Stick Elite with my SLX reel and its working well for me.
What's your favorite florocarbon? Have you tried the x9 braid? Very good line. Thanks for the videos keep it up
I like sunline sniper and seaguar invisx! And no i havent!
@@LadyBass the x9 is worth a try. I will be testing it float fishing for kings in a month
For your Pike setup can you provide a link for that 80lb Fluorocarbon line you use?
Its just seagur blue label
@@LadyBass Thanks for the quick reply.
Some really nice setups Isabella you are a lucky girl being sponsored by G Loomis.
I switched over to the dark side South paw. Like you I can use both no problem but I'm a jig/soft plastic type of guy. I do crank every now and then.

Hope you get the time to answer my question.

LadyBass with the Epic Arsenal!!
Where you buy the 8 lb test line braid??
You can grab it at most fishing stores, if you in Canada - Sail carries it
Hey I have a question, what do you think about the curado 70? If anybody has a review let me know
I'm interested also.
I have one, use it for jigs a lot because it’s comfortable and easy to palm when i pitch! I mean its a curado you cant go wrong, the smaller spools nice for casting light baits. I think its on sale on twh right now, i have heard some people having issues with grindy gears.

@@jroutdoors9338 Don't throw heavy lures with it (like 3/4oz or more) and you will have no problems. It's a great reel for what its meant for
Did you modify a hook keeper on your rod?
They are an accessory - they are called fuji EZ keepers
How tall are you izzy?
Great video I like it
Shimano is the reel for me but the rods............definitely St. Croix.
Hey btw LB, I recommend trying the Berkley Fireline ultra 8 braid, ik its $22 for 330yrds.
X9 by them is fantastic. Sold out everywhere about 3 months ago.
Love your videos lady bass
Thanks Derek😁
Piranti nya mewah mewah 😍
"How many fishing rods do you have?" I never know how to answer that question either.
Usually "too many to count" is suffice lol
Very informative your videos and keep it coming .
Where can I find a Shimano Cap like yours or have a give away for one :-) Thanks
Check out some local shops, they should carry it! Ill look into doing some sort of giveaway soon 😁
bet you're glad you had rod socks on the rods. lol
9:29 my favorite :)
Love your videos, weird question how old are you lol. 😅
21!
@@LadyBass Dam you have good genes, and I think your beautiful by the way. Thanks to your videos I got myself a Shimano scorpion dc and not regretting it.
How does someone join a Shimano fishing team? Or similar
Im not sure how to approach that, best bet would be to talk to your local representative i would assume!
@@LadyBass i guess a better question is, how did you get on the team?
I was filming a little segment for a youtube video at a local fishing show, the gentleman i was interviewing actually ended up being the local marketing manager in Ontario!
This is awesome. It’s so cool to see females becoming big in the fishing industry!
Very smart woman
Dude that Monster Drive DC is sexy 🔥
How tall are you?
Almost 5’9

You seemed like you couldn't wait to get off camera so you could scream because of the bugs. AHHHHHH
Dude iv never had this many black fly bites😂 it was nuts!! Waayyyy better lighting outside though.
OooffOoff lol
Oooffff
Being that you're on the shimano D so hard; where are the barrel style reels? You only run low pro reels? Why? Young and don't know better? I'm confused.
Barrel style as in round reels? No need when theres low profile that can do the same job🤷🏼♀️
@@LadyBass lol, ok.
Haha too funny. Looks like someone read an article in the last BassMaster magazine and is flexin his new knowledge. You crack me up! 😂
