I purchased the 7'11"XH last September and it is an excellent hard bait rod, extremely satisfied with it. Make sure you use ferrule wax and don't dry fit the sections. Also, it's easier to line up the guides if you assemble from tip to handle. Chase your dreams, my dude.
I grabbed the 6’5” MH one and I am really impressed with the quality so far. I can’t wait to fish it but might have to grab another in the near future.
I used a triza dragoon for some swimbaits on my last pike fishing trip, going to pick up the XXH valkyrie for next year....need to throw some bigger slabs of rubber.
I use my 8 footer for dogtooth snapper in my pic and also tuna, grouper, marlin, dorado, sailfish, yellowtail, etc in Baja. That rod is a beast for 40-50# line.
I’m using the 6th sense travel 7’2 casting rod. Came from NJ to Florida and the bag attendant through my rod behind other bags and she came off the plane perfectly fine 😅thank god lol
I have this rod for pike and I love it I use it for anything from half oz too 4 oz but my friend has cast 5.5oz with his. I love it as I'm able to cast small light stuff and also bigger baits. The xxh is next on the list for me
Hey man how you doing I just got me a Megabas Valkyrie 7’8 H 4-piece travel rod. Was wondering if you have that same model 🤔 I want to see what else I can throw becides hard trebled swimbaits. Is it a all-purpose?
It will throw that size bait, but the rods are a bit outdated and are on the heavier side as well as not being parabolic. When casting, your body does most of the work. Strong rods overall but much better options out there on the market for less the price
@@crazybassfisher thanks for the reply man ! I’m probably gonna end up with a rod from Leviathan to throw it on or F5. Any rods you’d recommend for that size of bait ?
What’s up brother been wanting this video since the video of the shops touring you dun 🤙🏼🤙🏼. You could have thrown a bone cuz we know you caught a couple bass over there but whatever it’s all good we be nice and until the next video coms out😎🤙🏼😎
A 10oz swimbait.... i'm letting that sink in for a long while.. Nice one man!!! Glad that the Dream came true. it's official nothing i have in my arsenal of gear is suitable for Biwa OR 10 oz sb's.
@@crazybassfisher I'm sure you know, but technically it's illegal to catch and release LMB in Japan. They're considered an invasive species. Of course, bass fisherman in Japan still do it, just discreetly.
Can you talk about this reel shimano Calcutta, why is this reel so special and so on? I remember see people argue with each other at bait shop just to have this reel. I saw one guy would buy this reel and never use it, only to hang on the wall😂

Thats so badass! That rod is no joke when it comes to power!

Sweet Rods Brother!!! Cheers!! :))
Thanks for watching homie 🙏

Would the xxh work well for 2oz soft baits in a pinch?
You’re the man! Great Video
Thanks for watching my dude🤙
@@crazybassfisher I just moved to the Phoenix area and brought my boat. I could use some help picking some swimbaits
Does Biwa still turn out giants? Thanks, your having fun. I am envious!
Yes, very much so, Biwa will bump out a few teeners a year and many people seeing the world record size bass
Sweet travel rods 😎👍
They are super legit🔥
Hey Geoff, can the 7' 11" handle softies as well? 6-7 inch citizens, battle shads, and/or gtrout? Thanks
@crazybassfisher how does the 7’11” do with baits in the 1-2oz range?
Don’t put your rod together on the airplane like that 5:10
😂😂
Hi Geoff, great stuff. Have you used the 7'8" Heavy rod and what weight baits is it good for, I'm guessing 2-5oz maybe?
I have used it a little, its a lighter rod for that 2-4oz range for sure!
I have this rod for pike and I love it I use it for anything from half oz too 4 oz but my friend has cast 5.5oz with his. I love it as I'm able to cast small light stuff and also bigger baits. The xxh is next on the list for me

Recently just scooped up both rods an they are 🔥🔥🔥
They are such amazing rods, love traveling with them!
Would you recommend the Megabass Hunting Weapon for Hinkles and heavier swimbaits ?
It will throw that size bait, but the rods are a bit outdated and are on the heavier side as well as not being parabolic. When casting, your body does most of the work. Strong rods overall but much better options out there on the market for less the price
@@crazybassfisher thanks for the reply man ! I’m probably gonna end up with a rod from Leviathan to throw it on or F5. Any rods you’d recommend for that size of bait ?
I have the 6’1 XH and it’s a blast. I guess I need the 7’11 too.
Hey very interested in that 6’1”. What is your feed back on that rod and what do you throw on it? Much appreciated thank you
Can i use the Tranx 500 on the World Explorer 8fot xxh?
Great video they look sweet
Thanks for watching homie 🤙
How did the hinkle shad do out there bro?
LETS GO!
Thanks for watching homie 🤙
How would the 8’ XXH work for hawghunter mags?
What’s up brother been wanting this video since the video of the shops touring you dun 🤙🏼🤙🏼. You could have thrown a bone cuz we know you caught a couple bass over there but whatever it’s all good we be nice and until the next video coms out😎🤙🏼😎
Haha I wish I caught something, my buddy ended up catching a couple though, I only donated baits to the lake😂
does the airlines let you bring your rod as carry on?
Ike said that lake was covered up in fishing boats when he was there. I didn’t see any boats in the background.
There are definitely a lot of boats on Biwa, they just weren’t around that area that day, its a massive lake as well
A 10oz swimbait.... i'm letting that sink in for a long while.. Nice one man!!! Glad that the Dream came true.
it's official nothing i have in my arsenal of gear is suitable for Biwa OR 10 oz sb's.
Hahaha for its size, its relatively light, most baits that big are twice the weight!
@@crazybassfisher That's so Nutty...
@@gewglesux fish a Roman made mother chaser they weigh 1lb 7 ounces
@@jprizzle2604 That's probably bigger than some of the fish i catch!
Thats's huge!!
Did you get a Japanese fishing license?
Biwa doesn’t need license
Do not need one for Biwa, other bodies of water like certain lakes and streams you need a permit to fish
@@crazybassfisher I'm sure you know, but technically it's illegal to catch and release LMB in Japan. They're considered an invasive species. Of course, bass fisherman in Japan still do it, just discreetly.
dope bait
Thanks for watching 🤟
Dream!
Thanks for watching 🤟
Legit design 5 piece Big Bait Special rod didn't make the list?
I actually haven’t heard of that rod before, will have to do some research on them!
🤞 next time you go, you catch a 23 pounder 👑🤟
Thats a plan someday haha
Can you talk about this reel shimano Calcutta, why is this reel so special and so on? I remember see people argue with each other at bait shop just to have this reel. I saw one guy would buy this reel and never use it, only to hang on the wall😂
Use one and you will see why, it’s an amazing swimbait reel
