    I was watching a tactical bassing video or tackle warehouse video and they talked about either a Mach shallow spool or some other one if I recall. Also I like the look of the Veritas BFS budget rod and used to have a spinning version some years ago and really liked it. Thanks for pointing out these items!!!

    I really wish more manufacturers would come out with shorter BFS and spin finesse rods. Huge gap in the market there. The brand that has done it thus far is is Z-Man (I would really love if you reviewed that rod, though in it a spinning rod... it's very unique and I know you like to find different products).

    It is actually really hard to find tests and info on throwing a 1/32 oz Sierra slammer type lure in alpine lakes. Everyone seems to test, and want I guess, a mini bass rig.
    This was a great video for options though mang! Thanks!

    Now I am unsure about the rod :/ I plan to get the 24 Tatula SV TW100 soon and a matching Rod in ML. I thought the Tartula XT is going to match nicely but now I see that the Abu Veritas BFS looks actually very nice (and is White, what I love) and is longer. Would love to see them in a comparing review

      Probably because he's either praising Shimano and bashing another brand or he's giving mediocre scores to other reel brands despite doing well with them during a casting test. It's ok to be bias but sometimes it comes off as immature. Not to mention some of his replies comes off as very douchey. Some comments are clearly rage bait but still. Plus he preaches a verse every vid lol. It's probably a reach but all that put together is why some people can't stand him. Not a big fan myself, but I can't lie that his content is informative.

    Also, I’m interested in the KK VE II. I heard there is a new “pro” version not available here but I haven’t heard anything about that black and red model. Is that the new “pro”? Or is it just a different color scheme of the old VE II?

      Most rods have pretty inaccurate casting recommendations. It’s propably not your casting technique, it’s most likely the rod itself. You can tell that it’s the rod itself that’s the problem if it doesn’t properly load the lure when you cast it.
