Pc fun flame is a perfect reel for up to Ned rig spy bait and a drop shot at 8, 5 ounces and 9 plus 1 bearings. The PC fun flame is too good to pass up.

Piss piss piss up. Oh, it’s a monster bass. It’s a monster! Oh good! One I do a lot of spinner bait fishing, spinner bait, spinner, bait, spinner bait! It’s been amazing, alright guys so today, I have a little bit of a different video planned I’m, actually going to be doing an unboxing and first look at this new reel that I bought. This is the pissy fun flame mm.

It features 10 bearings, so 9 plus 1, like your ratio of 5 2 to 1 retrieve per turn, is 25 point. 2 inches actually never heard that spec before maximum drag is 13 point 2 pounds yeah the weight of the reel itself is 8 5 ounces, the mono capacity is 5 pounds at 330 yards and the brain capacity is 12 pounds at 400 yards. Maybe putting much of your braid in that on this yeah, exceptionally smooth ultra light, the piece of fun flame mm all right.

So let’s get this baby open up, see what we got now the reel itself and gonna actually come back to that. We got sticker for the app awesome and owner’s manual in six different languages. You lock in handle style using anti reverse Loffler Mulla and has a breakout views. You can see all the different parts part numbers I’ll come back to that when I break the tank right sticker for the app done with that.

So let’s get to the real itself. Oh yeah, all right! That’s got a nice weight to it, so it has a full graphite body, as a lot of reels are starting to do these days, anti reverse switch, it’s actually a matte black with a glossy red, aluminum spool, which looks really nice. On that black looks super sharp and I bet you it won’t. You know a lot of my other glossy reels.

They get a little bit dirty and then they just don’t look good, but I bet you this one really well. Another thing you can kind of look at for quality is the gauge of the bail wire here and it’s a really thick one um very snappy mechanism there, which is always great to see it’s. You know nice snappy, sound um, like I, said an aluminum spool, which is really nice.

I’ll be my trade right there, and that is just exceptionally smooth. Like I said, it’s got, 10 bearings I, believe nine plus one yep, and you can really just feel it there and if I get it going, it just keeps going and going that looks awesome and graphite body. It feels a lot more sturdy than other reels have used in the past good handle. It looks like it has a hinge here, so you can for transport.

Yeah I mean it’s a spinning, no there’s not too much else to it. So one thing when I was picking out this reel on Amazon I was kind of concerned about the size, because I’ve ordered reels before online, and it’s really hard to tell what the size is because they have like you know like dimensions, but it’s kind of hard to picture it until you get it in your hands.

So just for some scale. This is a mm sighs. So this is I’ll start smaller. This is the real I was using at the beginning of this year. David actually gave us to me. This is a Shakespeare navigator. I just got one ball bearing, and it’s made out of plastic gets kind of cheaper, as you could see in my last video actually when I coach them caught that northern it was kind of struggling, so I’m like I, should probably upgrade the citizen that wasn’t working very well anyway, so this is actually a very similar size, and this is what I would call a smaller real, not quite like ice fishing or anything, but you can kind of see it to scale with me.

It’s a smaller reel. This is the mistake that I made last time: I ordered online. This is a cast King summer 4000, so I actually got this or river fishing, and for that it works. Well, it’s like basically a cat fishing reel. The thing is huge again. This is a 4000 model, so I got it forever. Fishing that works great, but again I did not want to speak of real-life marketing, so I’m gonna be using this one, obviously for bass, fishing, a northern fishing and honestly I think this is like the perfect size.

I thought it was gonna, be a little bit bigger and I. Actually didn’t want it to be so this should work out just perfectly yeah. So obviously, I can’t comment on long-term durability right now, but I will definitely do a whole review after I use this for quite a bit, and it’s just really solidly built I can feel that what they grabbed the graphite bodies, I’m really really a fan of these the knob is really solid.

It kind of has like a little rubber handle very solid, very smooth, I’m gonna be pairing this with my six foot, six ugly, stick: two-piece, spinning rod; yes, it’ll be ugly 60 X to six and a half foot, spinning rod which I want to get a new rod, but I’m, actually gonna wait till I get 200 subscribers and then I’m going to buy a new rod. That’s a seven foot! Six I already have a picked out, but it’s a little more pricey, so I’m gonna wait a little bit and use this for a while.

But yeah I’m really excited to use this, but what’s crazy about this real, if I got this for only $23 on e on the side and I’ve seen other reels at Walmart and other places that have looked and felt like this kind of quality that have cost it, you know double or triple this. So I think this is fantastic deal. Obviously, I haven’t fished with it. Yet my next video when I go out the kayak in the next couple days.

I will be testing it out and, like I said, I’ll follow up with a review, but first impressions of this reel I am super impressed by how smooth and how well it works all righty. So I got it all spooled up blind and Bates all rigged up with my snap I should get some difficult brain, so it matches, but you know that’ll happen want to get money. Yeah that’ll never happen so I’m gonna go.

Do some practice cast with this right now and see how it works. So I’ll see you guys in the next one. If you liked this video, give it a like if you loved it subscribe. Let’s go catch, some trees.

Alright, so today we got an unboxing, it’s a real unboxing for my finesse bass. Fishing I got this Pisgah fun flame. It’s a three thousand exceptionally smooth ultra light, and then here are all the specs on the box, something over here. So bearings. We have ten gear ratio. It’s a 5-2 to one retrieve per turn is 21 inches at point. 6 inches where’d I get 21 from max drag, is fourteen point: three supreme high drag weight, 8 9, it’s somewhat light Pasties for mono. We have 11 pounds 195 yards and you know there was 11 pound test braid at 25 pounds.

It’s 290 yards I’ll, probably want to use a backing on their parade open. This thing up here it gives us a little booklet. Here, it’s fun fish with family. It gives you just Amazon search things like aspirin, exploded view and some parts breakdowns. Yet I’ll shut it I’m, gonna, clean it, keep it clean and then, of course see which is the real thing that is pretty on there. Alright. So we have, let’s see that’s graph, I, don’t know! That’s plastic, yeah! Well, closer! Look there much much closer! Look already so first impressions.

It is extremely smooth actually look at that. That is nice very nice. It has a braid little abrasion thing on there for the braid to help you spool up braid, which is really nice. It’s a little small for a three thousand, but I think that ties into that ultralight. So it is a smaller body which I do like I hate when you get that huge ginormous reel and you’re trying to lug it around everything, but everything seems to it seems to work exceptionally well, very nice I’m thinking it almost seems like it’s a graphite instead of plastic, but I’m not positive on that, but so far first impressions I really really really liking it.

It should look really good on my what is it it’s a Field & Stream inferno, a flaming inferno, I’ll go good together and yeah. So for 24 bucks, I, don’t yeah I could have gone wrong. I will make a part two to this video later on in the year after using it a few times to you know, see how it performs in the world. You know get a little dirty see if it still works just as well or if even holds up, because if some of you guys might know my finesse rods kind of holding up very well.

My last one first, the rod broke got a new rod. Then the real broke so kind of laughter. I didn’t have a finesse setup, so this year, I’m going in going right with the finesse setup, but I guess that’s about all. I can really ramble on in this video. So if you guys enjoyed this video, please like subscribe and have a great day.

500 and 65 hundreds and this 7000 c3, is by far my favorite it’s smooth as butter and cast a mile. I like how it’s secured to the rod by the plate on the bottom of the reel feels sturdier I’ve caught many big fish on it. I mated it to a cast king cast cat, eight foot s glass, rod to the gentleman complaining the reel looks different than pictured. I would imagine so you’re holding a 6500 and the real pictured as a 7000 there’s a 30 price difference in the two reels.

I am a fan of the abu 7000 c3s for trophy catfishing. The catfish special is the same thing as the normal 7000 c3, except the orange color and the artwork engraved catfish. They both have the same number of bearings, same gear ratio and same spool capacity. In fact, you can save some money by buying the chrome version over the catfish special all abu garcia 7000s are made in china. I have my catfish special mounted on a catfish warrior. Rod. The yellow rod and orange reel do look good together.

Would I buy more catfish specials? Maybe if the price was closer to the chrome, 7000 c3, I will try and post pics of the 7000 c3 and the 7000 c3 catfish special specs from their respective boxes, so that you can see the only difference as color, artwork and price fantastic, real and amazon customer service. The reel is very smooth and easy to cast the bait. Clicker works great as well. It whipped this 16 pounds channel cat caught on my very first cast with it great reel.

The bait alert clicker could stand to be a little louder. Also, the tension is not so good in click mode. If you’re trolling, you have to engage the spool and lose the drag so that it holds while trolling planner boards it does okay at lower speeds with corks. I love this addition for the color, although labeled a catfish reel, I use them for trolling for stripers. I hope to get a couple more just starting getting back into fishing real, big and bought.

This catfish special have already pulled in a 65 pounds and 40 pounds flathead with this reel with no hesitation click the link in the description to get this product today, at the best price.

Hi, my name’s Andrew wheeler I’m, the product manager for Abu Garcia, I’d, like to introduce the swedish-made 6500 c3 stripe, is special, as the name suggests. The stripe of special has been specifically designed for inland striper fishing. However, it is fully saltwater capable. So if you do want to use it in the saltwater environment, whether you’re chasing stripers or any other type of fish, it will work perfectly.

The reel is built off a c3 base, but it has an extended power handle this just gives a lot more cranking power, especially on large fish features. Three stainless steel, bearings plus a one-way clutch. So this will give you a perfectly smooth operation for the entire life of the reel. The features our carbon matrix drag system. This carbon matrix drag system gives you up to 15 pounds of drag, but it gives you very, very smooth, dry performance, no matter the line weight using and the size of the fish it’ll always handle it perfectly.

Most of the angles are use this just to drop bait down to the bottom or free line bait out. However, if you do want to cast it, it does have a 6 pin centrifugal break, so it will handle casting perfectly well like all of our round reels. It features a synchronised level line system. This synchronized level line system just keeps the line perfectly laid on the spool and like all about 6 500 sizes, the features of bait clicker.

So if you’re trying to free spool some bait out and leave it out there when a fish does take, it it’ll alert you to it. So if you’re looking for the ultimate in inland striper fishing reels check out the 6500 c3 striper special from Abu Garcia.
