My advice to every angler is make a list of what you need through the year, and buy it when TW does their Black Friday sale. Hope you all have a great spring and catch your pb!
Been looking for a new bass pro to root for. I’m a little older and relate to a lot of the old schoolers but you have my vote man. Good luck this year.
I saw your podcast with Mercer. I can’t speak for anyone else but the few people I do watch on douche tube your videos are is the single channel I have learned the most from and have caught more and bigger fish because of it. Keep stompin man! You have people that depend on your videos such as myself to learn how to be a better angler! Thanks for all you do man! Good luck in the opens! You got MF’r nation behind you!
Gamma line is phenomenal, specially the Torque, glad to see you using Edge, I have used it in the past as well, it is made in my home town by a relative! I will admit I use Pline for almost everything but braid where I use Gamma 100%
Can't wait to see the boat brother. Great video and looking forward to seeing you out on the water! LFG baby, show them boys what a big bag really looks like!!!!!!!
Lol...Ben says the Bantam is an expensive Reel, "too nice" for him, then says one will be replacing a Metanium for Flippin! 🤣 Ben Connecting with his inner JDM fan boy! 😍 😉 You are right about there being guys who will flip their lids over you using Diawa and Shimano...lol, too funny!
I bet you’re at the first event! We have been waiting for the first open! I can just about bet you have way more fans pulling for you than any other angler! I wish they would put this tournament on live. If anyone was ever ready you are are the one. Go set it on fire!
Seems like daiwa reels always come grease free if you ever hear it start screaming. That tatula elite is great for bombing casts, I use it for frogging.. expensive frog reel but it's all metal. SV is good for lighter lures. Bantam has that butter and effortless feel with the Infiniti drive, cranks like a tank.
Would be rad to see a video of maybe some of the swimbaits you're gonna trust this upcoming season! Cool insight since you will be one of the few who will be doing it
I know you were busy with pre-fishing and the open (congrats on the top 5 finish) but was just wondering if I missed the announcement of the prize winner
Lol .I love having both Daiwa and Shimano reels.Have to say, for the price point though,Slx /Slx mg are hard to beat .Real tough.. Daiwa Fuego in that price range not close imo.
What size wire do you like to wrap around your hooks to add weights? Also do you change out hooks to longer shanks to be able to add some wire to them more effectively?
Why/how do you put on and use the leader line? I am from the north and 25 pound line seems a little small when all it takes is for a northern pike to eat my bait
Good luck Ben. You’ll be fishing with a great young fisherman this week. I wish both of you lots luck and great hooksets. Your both good people. His name is Jackson Sullivan. Y’all wreck em.
I have had major issues with diawa customer service but not a single issue with Shimano. The reels may be similar but the customer service definitely is not!
Dude I love the tatulas, then I got an sv tw and hated everything else ever since…not really but they’re sick. Would love to get my hands on an elite one day.
I have a Tatula reel but have only used it once. I really didn't think that one through since I had never used a baitcaster before. I don't know how to set them up so I can cast it out. Tried following the instructions but no matter where I have anything set at when I cast my test bait just slams into the water. 😂🤣😂🤣
I’m new to glide bait fishing. Have a rod but looking for a real. What suggestions do you have for gear ratio. Thanks for the content and looking forward to the tournament videos.
I really like how you are open for all the different fishing tackle brands that are out there and unlike to some other youtube fisherman or tackle review channels can give us some unbiased feedback. What are your opinions about the Tranx 300 / Tatula 300? I am looking for a Glidebait Reel for up to 8-9 Oz baits. I've *heard* that the Tatula casts smoother than the Tranx. What is your experience as someone who fishes swimbaits very frequently? Best greetings and wishes
Whatcha doing with old reels you’re replacing? Just saying, a brother could use some used reels for upcoming Illinois B.A.S.S. tournaments lmao! Nice haul, bud, wishing you best of luck in your upcoming pro career!
I mean I’ll take whatever you throw out reel wise. I want your crustiest reel you got. It’ll probably be 10x better than my xtreme bait casting rod from walmart 😂😂
My advice to every angler is make a list of what you need through the year, and buy it when TW does their Black Friday sale. Hope you all have a great spring and catch your pb!
Poor Ben didn’t realize his audio was jacked up until he went to edit 😔. Happens to the best of us. With that being said SHIMANO FOR LIFE 😆
Daiwa for life
Frs I thought it was my audio 😂😭
I came here to say the audio sounds horrible, but I guess he's aware
Sorry you spelt Daiwa wrong
O'Doyle rules!!!
Been looking for a new bass pro to root for. I’m a little older and relate to a lot of the old schoolers but you have my vote man. Good luck this year.
You’re truly blessed, Mike. I’m watching your unboxing vid JELLY AF lol. Best wishes towards your 2023 season.
I bought a 7’9” milliken xtra heavy for my glides just last week. They have been out of stock for months. I threw it today and I love it.
Ben, don't forget if you want to get some of your older reels serviced (I got you ) more than likely I can make them work like new.

I can’t speak for anyone else but the few people I do watch on douche tube your videos are is the single channel I have learned the most from and have caught more and bigger fish because of it.

Where is the pinned comment on who won the rod and swimbaits.?
Ready for this banger going to make me place another order😂🔥🎣
Gamma line is phenomenal, specially the Torque, glad to see you using Edge, I have used it in the past as well, it is made in my home town by a relative! I will admit I use Pline for almost everything but braid where I use Gamma 100%

Appreciate how you explain what you use each for helps less experienced pple

Love my MFer jerkbait rod. Hands down one of the best jerk bait rods I have ever used. Good luck in the opens!
Just picked up 2 new reels, thanks for the code. Good luck in the opens.

Awesome walkthrough on everything Ben! Now you just need 6th Sense to fix the flow glide to your modification straight out of the box!!!!!!
Would be rad to see a video of maybe some of the swimbaits you're gonna trust this upcoming season! Cool insight since you will be one of the few who will be doing it
Love love love the mgl 150’s!! Need to grab me a tatula one day too!
Good luck in the Tournaments!!
Dang such a banger of a video!! But the audio blows!!! Can’t wait to watch Ben fish the tournaments. He gowna smash!!!
I know you were busy with pre-fishing and the open (congrats on the top 5 finish) but was just wondering if I missed the announcement of the prize winner
Dude, you need to perm that hair and get a Mullet. New style for the new tournament trail.
Do you ever buy any extra spools for certain reels, and have a few line choices to switch out on the fly?
I wondered the same
@@anthonymodica7067 glad I'm not the only one!
Lol .I love having both Daiwa and Shimano reels.Have to say, for the price point though,Slx /Slx mg are hard to beat .Real tough.. Daiwa Fuego in that price range not close imo.
What size wire do you like to wrap around your hooks to add weights? Also do you change out hooks to longer shanks to be able to add some wire to them more effectively?
Only question would be what braid and leader line do you use on spinning setup? What knots and why?
Yo Ben just wanna say you’re the goat!!!Can’t wait to see you go pro man you’re gonna kill it!
Awesome video! I love if you’d do a good in-depth video on line and what you use them on
First! Keep up the great work Ben! Ready to see the new boat!
Why/how do you put on and use the leader line? I am from the north and
25 pound line seems a little small when all it takes is for a northern pike to eat my bait
Awesome video Ben. Diawa all the way. OH YEAH
Good luck Ben. You’ll be fishing with a great young fisherman this week. I wish both of you lots luck and great hooksets. Your both good people. His name is Jackson Sullivan. Y’all wreck em.
Awesome stuff! Can’t wait to see the setups in future videos. Where do we find out who won the rod, jig head and bait giveaway?? 😮
Good luck this year. Hope you shake things up in a good way.
Love my T wing! Thanks for the advice awhile ago!
Congrats on your Bassmaster open placing! You’ll be on ESPN next year!!!!

Good luck going pro. Also thanks for all the honesty
