Noah Plays- honestly that’s the way to go if I was to go DC it would be the curado dc, the slx dc is nice but if I went DC I would do it right. the slx just don’t feel as solid
@@thememeking782 lmfaooo. I'm not a fisherman? Bwahahahaha. Bro are serious? You're a fuckin amateur. I've caught world class blue fin tuna in 4 major oceans and fished in all of the great lakes including the amazon you dumb fuckkkkk
I bought the same reel in Feb. Sold it in August. Started to feel like I was becoming too “noticed” by the sound when I would try and “sneak” into fishing spots and you cant sneak with that reel squeals😁
Mike you have been a big inspiration to me. I found you right after you made your 2 liter bottle minnow trap and have watched every video since. It has been so cool to watch you become more and more successful. How you came from filming when you could to now doing it as a full time job and going to hang with the google squad and now buying your dream reel! Congratulations man
Once you have the line sure drag is tightened all the way. Do 1/4 turns to loosen drag when the line drops slowly and then smooth. Then, whatever number the breaks go up to start at half, then loosen only by one. When the line is smoothly and slowly comes off, you won't need your thumb. 😊
I love this time of year. I live in Annapolis and my parents live near you in bridgeville so I know how hard it is to catch a fish that large around here but this month I’ve caught 3 over 4.23lbs none over 5, I’ve only ever caught one over 5 in Maryland
Great choice. I have wanted DC reels for a long time but didnt have the money to import one. Then the slx DC. Have had mine for a month and by far best baitcaster I have ever used
Honestly the Curado which is a Shimano product is the best reel to buy, Fresh or Saltwater. They’re well over $200 but they have the Chip for no back lash and they’re so nice and very durable. This reel you got is amazing though, very good choice.
CONGRAT'S on the new reel AND your new P.B. rule of thumb is length x length x girth divided by 1200 = lbs. (Fla fish n game) Nice way to break it in. 👍😊😎
when you caught that bass I was like "that was probably a six pounder" and you said "it is 5.32lbs and that is officially the biggest bass I've ever caught" I just want to say congratulations on your 5.32lb bass. Keep up the good work Mike. This is the biggest fish I have ever caught
Congratulations on your new personal best man!!!! That was a tank and a half!!!! What a way to break in your new reel!!! Congrats man!!! Congrats!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I bought an slx dc a month ago. Set it up properly and birdsnests are no more. I love it. I also believe braid works best. Btw I got a shimano raider rod for my Slx dc.
Awesome reel! I picked one up last week and caught a Pike and a Walleye first time out with it! Hands down the best reel I've bought! There is a video of the adventure on my channel...
I hope you read this. Check out sixgill fishing rods. They are amazing. Even pulling in an 8 inch trout you feel the then fighting on a 7’2 medium rod. It makes fishing a lot more fun.
I have a Curado DC as well as a Curado K and I love them both. The DC is really nice and sounds awesome, but the K is so smooth and hardly backlashes either. The DC feature is good to have, but not necessary, the K does just fine. They're both very well made and puts the BlackMax (I have two of them as well) to shame in terms of quality. What type of rod you put them on matters alot as well.
It would be really interesting if you entered the BFS game. Nowadays you don’t need to pay over $250 to buy a Bait Finesse System reel. The Tsurinoya Spirit Fox casts 2-2,5 g lures a very fishable distance. It’s only $59 on Aliexpress. Ultralight fishing with baitcasters is really addictive!
And you have alot of self control because I always curse when I hook into something big, when I land them, and ESPECIALLY when I lose them. I just caught a largemouth around that size a month or so ago on a Strike King KVD oversized crankbait. I weighed it and it was 5.72 lbs. I caught him on my brand new Curado K with an Abu Garcia BlackMax 7' medium heavy rod on 30 lb Field and Stream braid. I got my Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris 7'6" medium heavy rod in the mail and it was broken, so I sent it back and the BlackMax was the only rod I had that I could try my new Curado on. Btw, I live about an hour north of Pittsburgh, so a bass that big is fairly uncommon.

Beautiful this place has great fish your fishing was amazing Congratulations. *HUG!!!* 👍
The SLX Dc reel was a great reel in my opinion and I was fortunate enough to get it before it even hit stores. I got it for the DC brake and the sound and being my first dc reel...but for the price point, even though it’s at a good one, I was expecting more from Shimano. Don’t get me wrong Shimano reels are outstanding, but I got turned away when it didn’t have a clicking tension knob. Also the sound does get a bit annoying after sometime. The dc brake excels in windy condition, but I wouldn’t suggest using a jig, worm, crankbait, or any bait beside topwater baits, in my opinion. Now I did a video on it and I did use it with a soft plastic bait to just get the feel of it but it’s not ideal. It’s all opinion wise on what you feel, but I’d stick to just top water with a dc reel to get outstanding performance. Anyways nice catch and keep fishing!
USN_Ret 84-05 they’re reels that are mostly sold by Walmart. Walmart rebrands all their reels and rods to a specific sub-brand. That way, if you break it, you can’t buy parts. You have to buy a completely new unit.
I got this reel too and if you are looking to get a new rod to put it in I use the favorite linkers tv rod and would recommend it. It’s a suck combo with that reel
That sound tho manee... I'm with you.. love the sound the more expensive bait casters make.. then with fresh braid.. yessirrrr.. you blowin up G ... #GoinPro
Get the slx rod that matches it. Great rod and it's a perfect match. That or like an exage or a dobyns fury. Stick to that 100$ mark and you will be good. But I strongly recommend the slx rod.
I use the regular shimano slx (non-digital model) and I think you sold me on what my next reel will be! That thing sounds sick. What rod are you using?
Kelsey has been replaced by this reel.
Been around dicks a lot lately 🤣😂🤣
1 like = 1 prayer for Kelsey (like Karen Ardila’s post)
I bought a curado dc left hand retrieve a few months ago. That sound NEVER gets old
Bill P I just bought my curado dc and not gonna lie it’s lil but better than the six dc I love it so much the sound it makes is just amazing
Noah Plays- honestly that’s the way to go if I was to go DC it would be the curado dc, the slx dc is nice but if I went DC I would do it right. the slx just don’t feel as solid
Fr
Oh my god.....freakin....dude.....oh my god....freakin....dude...it's like my biggest bass ever...freakin, oh my god, dude, like freakin oh my god.
It dosint make sense
Angel Torres if you would pay attention that’s what he said in the intro
Clearly u don’t live the fishing life catching a big fish deserves that reaction.
Obviously you aren’t a fisherman bc if u are you will know how breath taking and exiting it is to catch a big fish
@@thememeking782 lmfaooo. I'm not a fisherman? Bwahahahaha. Bro are serious? You're a fuckin amateur. I've caught world class blue fin tuna in 4 major oceans and fished in all of the great lakes including the amazon you dumb fuckkkkk
Me:So why did you buy the reel?
FirsteStateFishing: I was hoping it sounded cool
Mr Man Toes so true 😂😂
He goes oh my god huge Delaware bass. 5.32 pounds. This isn’t freakin Texas!
Me: I am from Texas and my PB is 7lb.
Me: Oh
My pb is 9 pound bass 24 pound catfish
Shaq Yo boii me over here having our state record at 8 and I haven’t ever caught one
I love that even at 300k subs, you're still running standard stuff. Some guys spend too much on bling and got no ring. :)
1:37 😂😂😂 did he cut the camera to take a minute to think about what he just said lmfaooo
😂 I thought I was the only one that caught it
No he did
@@MrVinniecamaro me too,me too lmao
One thing I love about this channel and FirstState is how genuine he is! This reaction is so cool to look back on!😊
I love how most of that fishing session was just the noise of your reel lol
I laughed when he said that was why he bought it but half way through the video I was turning up the sound whenever he cast. It is really cool.
AHH MAN I AM CRYING BECAUSE I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY WANTED SINCE THE START OF THE HOBBY!
I bought the same reel in Feb. Sold it in August. Started to feel like I was becoming too “noticed” by the sound when I would try and “sneak” into fishing spots and you cant sneak with that reel squeals😁
I have a metaniam dc and a curado dc... definitely not my first choices when I go to sneak into golf courses 😂😂
As a Texan I’m proud of you and that fish 🤟🏻
Luis Marroquin brother 🙌🏻
Yeah, when I saw that fish I knew it was like a 4-6 but definitely not 8+, btw I'm from Texas too!
Why Spencer???
The noise makes me satisfied!
Did u Cream in your panties?
@@realisticcrybabywhocanttak3624 what tha fuck
Realistic crybaby Who cant take any criticizm only a little bit
Been here since u bought the first baitcaster and didn’t line it threw the eye on the baitcaster lol

Ikr the pros always use expensive gear and say that like if that’s so true they should use cheap gear at a tourney
I can confirm, dc reel ad +100 to your coolness and I also have caught my pb bass on a shimano dc reel. Keep up the great content man, love your vids
First state=Legendary
Pair with the slx rod

Awesome video bud congrats on the pb and the new reel

"Holy freakin' crap!"... great catch buddy! Enjoy the new reel!
Congrats man!!! I have been watching you for years and I got so exited for you when you hooked into that monster bass.
at 6:10 you can see the reel fix what should of been a backlash
Sheesh man can’t wait to see the fishing reel I just bought mine for my channel! The shimano slx dc reel!
Homie first state upgraded to a decepticon reel 😂
when you caught that bass I was like "that was probably a six pounder" and you said "it is 5.32lbs and that is officially the biggest bass I've ever caught" I just want to say congratulations on your 5.32lb bass. Keep up the good work Mike. This is the biggest fish I have ever caught
There's nothing like catching a mondo on new gear brotha. Congrats on both you definitely grind and deserve it
Congratulations on your new personal best man!!!! That was a tank and a half!!!! What a way to break in your new reel!!! Congrats man!!! Congrats!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When you weighed the fish you didn’t tare the fish grip .
Yeah. Can also weigh the gripper and subtract it from the total.
I bought an slx dc a month ago. Set it up properly and birdsnests are no more. I love it. I also believe braid works best. Btw I got a shimano raider rod for my Slx dc.
Dude it's awesome to see you truly appreciate a new reel. Keep the lines tight my friend.
Awesome reel! I picked one up last week and caught a Pike and a Walleye first time out with it! Hands down the best reel I've bought! There is a video of the adventure on my channel...
I can't say I've been here from the first vid, but I've been here for a while and I love watching this channel grow!
That’s a damn good reel very smooth
I just got a curado dc and love it. The sound is amazing, it still can backlash but naturally I always thumb regardless.
I hope you read this. Check out sixgill fishing rods. They are amazing. Even pulling in an 8 inch trout you feel the then fighting on a 7’2 medium rod. It makes fishing a lot more fun.

I live my SLX DC, it's really makes the whole fishing experience more enjoyable
Nice toad brother ! Your new real passed the acid test. Being from NJ, for our area that's a great largemouth bass. Excellent work!
me thinking whenever he says “it’s sounds so cool” i thought he was kidding and just kept saying it but then first cast HOLY he’s not wrong
Yeah I noticed the change in weather too it's down in the upper 70' s at night here in South Florida

Congrats on the official PB Bro
I'm leftie too but got used to right handed's reels.. your videos are great man.. cheers from Mauritius
Dude that was EPIC! Congrats on your PB Bass!
just a heads up the 3rd setting is for flouro, 2 is for braid and mono
I've been watching ur videos for about a year and a half bit I love the content
anybody notice his scale has a smiley face?
*ASMR Fishing Reel sounds*
Yo does the gear ratio matter or no? I’m a little nervous about getting the 6:2:1
You deserve it bro 🔥
Great content man, keep it up. I love your challenge videos, you should do more!
Congrats bro i definitely believe every bass angler should have one dc in their arsenal I got my first one and it’s been a great experience
Good shit my guy! Stoked you got your PB!!
Congrats on your new PB with the new reel !
Abu Garcia PMAX3-L is my favorite reel, I have ten of them now.

Great video homey. Nice pb to. Going trout fishing this week . Maybe I will see you over there. Keep up the good videos
Congrats on the new PB👐
This guy be having me dead 😂😂 that was awesome
Congratulations on the new fishing real
Yes it does sound cool lol. It's good to buy yourself something special once in a while. Nice Bass !
I got this reel too and if you are looking to get a new rod to put it in I use the favorite linkers tv rod and would recommend it. It’s a suck combo with that reel
Gotta pair it with the Lunkers.tv in god we trust defender by favorite rods, would be an amazing set up
Yea... U got a dc... I like dc the one I got is the other cheap on but it can spool off your line great pick...
DUDE!!! I have the same reel and I love it too! PAIR IT WITH A St. Croix Bassx rod. I have that same rod and the colors go perfect.
Sounds like a lightsaber man! Great vid! First state
That sound tho manee... I'm with you.. love the sound the more expensive bait casters make.. then with fresh braid.. yessirrrr.. you blowin up G ... #GoinPro
Thats kinda dope buying ur dream reel then catching ur pb bass to
What would you say is the best budget bait caster?
U can get some pretty cheap combos at Dick’s for like $40
ideally even with the dc reels you want to stop the spool with your thumb when the lure is where you want it, just jam er in there it'll be fine
Get the slx rod that matches it. Great rod and it's a perfect match. That or like an exage or a dobyns fury. Stick to that 100$ mark and you will be good. But I strongly recommend the slx rod.
Damn that fish was out of the water for a while... And dude said OMG a million times.. 😏
11:11 He nuts cause he’s excited 😂💀
I have a curado dc . And my friend is soon going to buy that reel 💯💯 and yes those babies sing while casting them 😍
setting 2 is for braid use it on 3 for fluoro!
Welcome to the club!
U my favorite fishing youtuber hands down!!👌🏼💯
Love the vids bro keep it up!! 🤘🏼👍🏼
First State Fishzzzzzzing!
Nice fish! I am in NH and just caught my PB and it was only 4 pounds. I know the feeling!
I use the regular shimano slx (non-digital model) and I think you sold me on what my next reel will be! That thing sounds sick. What rod are you using?
Nice way to break in that Shimano! Toad bass!
put that sweet reel on a ZEBCO DOCK DEMON rod and fish like a madman.
