On my very first outing with the Plume, I caught a 3.2 pound largemouth that wrapped my line around a wooden post, then swam under the platform I was standing on and tangled my line around some small branches. Yet the rod handled it all without a hiccup and I finally brought the fish in. For all its lightness and the very small diameter of the solid tip, this is not a fragile rod!
@@TheConstantAngler I actually accidentally ordered the spinning version and returned it, the baitcaster was not available yet. Looking back I should have kept it.
Honestly that looks like they could sale that rod for $200. Slap a Daiwa or Shimano logo on it and change the reel seat and it would fly off the shelf.
It doesn’t look quite so good in reality. It’s a fantastic blank with a cheap reel seat and lacking a couple of eyes but it does the job with small fish well
Have one on the way hopefully in the next week or so. I was curious if you have ever tried the tactical angler clips instead of a snap swivel for quick changing your lures
I live in the US and primarily fish for largemouth and smallmouth bass. My normal catches are in the 1-3lb range (roughly 0.5-1.5kg). Do you think this rod is too soft to fit my needs?
I think it will handle fish this size but the tip is very fine and there are probably rods better suited to it. Thank blank has a lot of power though. The tip would fold if using it for anything but the lightest of bottom contact lures. It’s more suited to fishing small jig heads up in the water. I’d be going for something with a hollow tip rather than a solid tip.

I agree. To be honest I am useless if it was I would have broken it by now

Cool review on the Plume... this is going to be my next rod. Thanks Adrian 😂😂😂😂😅
Do you need anymore?🤣🤣🎣
@@TheConstantAngler HELL YEAH... with Peter and Yourself tempting me...I can't resist anymore 😜😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Thanks for making more videos of this rod. I mainly would use they rod for UL BFS.
My pleasure mate. Excellent blank but not enough eyes really. Should cope fine with UL BFS. It’s a shame as the spinning version has more eyes

I have done for heavier work and do like them. To be fair the one I was using was a bit big for what I was doing.

It appears it is a robust blank and people are using it for Bass with confidence.
Yoo! Do you think this rod will be good for lures around 2-3grams?
Yes. Excellent.
@@TheConstantAngler thanks for the anwser! i think ill order it.
