Have a few different BB rods and have never had any issues. Fish almost every Sunday and have even caught a 4 foot spinner shark on a stealth sniper. Was tough only being a medium extra fast action.
I bet they was a fight! 🤣 I think my BB just have bad luck. I whacked my stealth sniper again not too long ago and it has been YEARS since I’ve done that. 🤦🏻♂️
@@hookcraft_fishing dang it man. I’ve gotten mine on the roof of my garage and get nervous but luckily nothing has ever happened. I have never had the reel animals one. Yea I mainly fish with my sniper medium 6-12 and throw a ton of artificial but also use it as my sheepshead rod. That feel is phenomenal. That’s how I caught the shark. It hit a fiddler and took off on a good run but had to baby it in. I now do a Banshee extra fast incase that happens again. I thought I was going to snap it how bad I had it bent.
Absolutely! I’ll give them credit there. They will fix it, but shipping is where it gets you. Depending on the size rod and what part of the country you’re in, it’s almost easier to just get a new rod. That’s not their fault either, the post office needs to make their money too.
@@hookcraft_fishing I was thinking the same, reel will be here later this week, so I'll get the rod around that time, I don't own a Penn 2500 so I don't have a feel for the size, so when I get it in I'll decide between the 5-10 and the 6-12 should be a sick combo
Hey man, I’m looking for a setup just like that but I was wondering it that specific rod being a medium heavy and also a 7’6 rod, is it to heavy for smaller fish like 23in reds and smaller specs? I really only fish for skoolie stripped bass and make some trips to Charleston sc every year or so.
@@colesheehan9929 Nope not at all. It’s a good size for those sized fish. Sure you can probably get away with just a medium but a medium heavy will work just fine. Plus, if you do find a bigger fish, that extra back bone can handle it.
Out of that group I would say your top two choices would be the Saltist MQ or the Saragosa. I’ve never fished a Saragosa but after doing some research, those two reels are really close. The Saltist has more drag, but the Saragosa has higher inches per turn when retrieving line. Both are sealed similarly but the Saragosa is more self service friendly. That being said, I’ve almost never done any sort of maintenance on my Saltists other than washing them off and they are silky smooth. Saragosa and Saltists are really high quality reels and you really can’t go wrong with one or the other.
@ Depends on the rod in my opinion. For a stealth sniper that is $180 and shipping there and back is close to $120 ($60 both ways) then I rather just save the time and get a new rod. Their $400 carbon fiber rod they have now…yeah that would be worth it. Unless they have changed their shipping policies now, but when I spoke to them, that was the deal.

Bull Bay fixes all their Rods for free… best warranty ever!

Very good review
I love falcon rods
And daiwa reel
Thank you! Same here, they get the job done without breaking the bank. 🤙🏼
Looking at the 7'6" medium 6-12 lb stealth sniper for a Penn authority 2500 probably
That’ll be a cool little combo there. 🤙🏼 go for it.

Right now the only setup I use is a 7ft medium st.Croix with a 2500 shimano nasci.

@hookcraft what braid are you using
I usually use 20lb but 30lb works too if you need the extra strength.
With the warranty do they charge you at all? Or is it just for the shipping?
It’s just shipping. Actually replacing the rod is no charge at all. 👍🏼
should i get this or a sargosa or a sustain or a stradic fm im planning on getting the size 6k

@@hookcraft_fishing for the size 6 witch?
bull bay has a great warranty program... why not take advantage of it?
Pretty sure I said why in the video. Shipping gets ya.
@@hookcraft_fishing still better than buying a new rod, no?

Have the Saltist MQ.
2500
4000
6000
Never had an issue
Glad to hear it! I have two and they’re great. No issues and almost no maintenance.
Hello, what is the diameter and brand of your braid? Your rod is a 10/30 grammes ?
I’m honestly not sure. I switch up my braid occasionally too. Usually I’m running 20lb-30lb power pro though.
Super fishing my friend 👍
Thanks man! I appreciate it. More vids coming! 🤙🏼
For $200 you should of got a Fenwick elite inshore better build quality love that rod
I agree. Lol I’ve heard good things about those rods.
I've got both and I prefer the Bull Bay all day over the fenwick
Pero que tamaño es?
El carrete es 3000 y la caña mide 7 pies y 6 pulgadas, peso medio.
I hope that makes sense. I used Google translate.
Thanks bro ❤
turn the music off
Noted for next time. 👍🏼
