What’s going on guys man, it’s your boy, gilliam j here on bank fishing, tv and we’re going to be doing a review on this. Is the cast king syndrome, ultralight 500, all right! So that’s the box and here’s the real all right see if we can get a up close picture of it. Get you a better view of it. If I can get the focus in for you guys get my face out of it, it doesn’t want to focus in, doesn’t want to focus in come on there. You go all right. We got to focus in there.
We go the cintron, 500, say: gear ratio to 5, 2, to 5 2, to 1 all right and on the sides. On this back side. Let me see if I can get it. Uh shows right here, four pounds 240 yards, so I can get the turn. I got out of focus all right. There you go. I got it back to focus. This is four yards uh, four pound tesla and 240 yards six pound test 955 all right! This is the centron 500 ultralight. So I like this blue on this man. So all right, there’s the cosmetics of it.
It’s a nine plus one ball. Bearings too. You got the little reverse click on very smooth, very smooth, all right, even at just spinning it slowly. It rotates by itself. Look at that and I like that, cadence smooth. So now this is real man. Let’s talk about it um. How did it handle out on the water actually hand pretty? Well, man got this four pound, berkeley, uh trolling, big game, honest the cast on it super smooth, um, the real back smooth, can go very light.
You know not really a lot of pressure. Just the lightest pressure on this reel. You get a nice real back. Um, no grind noise, no hesitation, the drag system’s pretty nice on this um cut some white bass off of it uh I think, got a couple: crappies uh, no issues, I’m using it on the seven foot, akuma um light fast action; yeah, that’s about it man! This is uh the price point on this reel here. This cintron 500 ultralight ice fishing is 24 99 on amazon I’ll, have their link in the description down below um.
Like I said, the cosmetics is really nice. I like the black and blue uh colors on it, um the real smooth. It’s no, no complaining about this reel um. Now, if I had to put it up against the diawa qr750, so you can get a view of it. Die was actually smaller. You know put it against the diawa. As far as casting I will go with the diode. The diode seems to have a better uh smoother cast than this one, but this one does still cast out smooth um. The price point I said was 24 99 uh.
There is a price difference between this one and the dialogue. Qr750 um. Will this be something I return back? No, I’m actually gonna keep this one man. This is a really nice one um! Let me let me retract that I might return it back. Even though I like it, it’s something nice. I think I’m going to spend the extra. I think it was a seven eight bucks. I think the the daiwa qr750s 33 19, or something like that um. I am going to return this one back and get another dial and we’ll review that one.
You know and I will include uh. I think I got some videos of me bringing in some fish on this one, so you can see how I handled um, but but I had to go through all the videos and hopefully I can find them but yeah, like I said man if you’re looking for don’t want to spend that extra eight bucks on the daiwa, qr750 and you’re. Looking for something I like tackle, uh hold enough uh line in here 240 yards for four pound test line. That’s really good! Um yeah! That’s about it man! I don’t really have any complaints.
I just preferred the iowa. Qr750 be honest. I I’m just being honest. I prefer it over this one, even though it’s smooth the cast is smooth. I just prefer that one but yeah that’s about it. Man, if you want to check them out I’ll, have their link in the description down below, for you guys, uh, it’s 24 99 on amazon, so yeah, that’s about it guys! All right! I hope you all enjoy uh.

People ask me: why do you fish I just like to get out there catch big fish, bigger the better. I want to catch the biggest fish, the fish that’s not been caught, yet the record breaker the tanks these people will go. I want to hear that story about how that girl caught that fish. That’s what I’m looking for every time I fish every single time of every species. I don’t even care what species it is. A tank is a tank with a tank and that’s it. I like big fish. What was the question, though? I started fishing when I was very young and my best friend’s father would take me to lake of the woods.
I didn’t know a thing throwing spoons at random things just to try and I always caught fish snot rockets. You know nothing exciting, but I caught fish and I was like okay, so the best way to learn is to get out there. Try whatever you know and pay attention to whatever works and then expand from there being a female angler. You definitely face some controversy, sometimes you’re, dealing with misconceptions that women anglers aren’t actually doing it, that there’s somebody else driving them that there’s somebody else catching the fish for them that some they can’t even drive a boat for me personally.
That is what irks me the most, because I do work hard I do put in the time and for somebody the thought of somebody sitting there, thinking that it’s not me drives me to work harder to show everyone that I am doing it. I can do it and I will do it I’ll. Do it better than you. Yeah fishing was a male dominated sport, but a lot more women are coming up and fishing tournaments and becoming big names in fishing, and it’s on a trend. Now that I would say a couple years: it’s at least 50 50.
I actually have a few girlfriends that I’ve taken them fishing and they have since gone out on their own, and that’s like a proud moment for me and when you do catch a fish that is so rewarding when you’ve done it all by yourself, you’re, releasing it you’re like yeah yeah. I did that it’s that confidence building, but I can do this. I don’t need help. I compete because I want to be the best I do. I want to beat everybody, it’s not to say that I only compete with other people. I compete with myself.
I want to be better than the person I was yesterday or catch bigger fish than vanessa caught last year. I want to always be upping my game. My primary focus right now is getting into that tournament world and placing I don’t want to just tournament fish. I want to go in a tournament. I want to get top numbers because I want to prove that I am a good angler and I want to prove to everyone that I’m not just a girl with a rod yeah. I want people to be like she, a boss, that’s what I want you’re like how am I gonna work with this.
Abu Garcia black max low profile realm I personally have about five of them on different pole setups, and if your wanting to stay in a budget alright and not spending a hundred hundred fifty dollars on a room, you can’t go wrong with this guy I found out about it. First, when I have a purchase, it was a it was a pole and real combo and it was the black max pole paired with the black max low-profile rim filling over the real, not so much with the pole, the the abu garcia pole that came with it.
I set it aside, and I started pairing this with my other poles that I felt comfortable with seven point: nine ounces a little bit heavier than some of your more expensive reels, but still not too cumbersome. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand. Five bearings: you got a nice star, drag system. The brake system works perfect because very minimal backlashes you some certain scenarios.
You can’t help prevent a backlash because sometimes it may happen, you’ll cast it into the wind things like that everybody gets them doesn’t matter. You are but minimum I mean it is a very smooth room and for the dollars you can’t beat it. I bought mine, Amazon retailers all across the country, have them, but I get them on Amazon for about between 35 and 39 dollars, and so, if you can only afford one reel and you got a rod to put it on, you can’t go wrong.
This guy I mean this. Guy’s is perfect. You can’t beat it I mean for the dollars that you put into that you invest in it you’re going to get it back tenfold, because it’s that good of a room and I like I have five of them. I mean it doesn’t matter. It’ll be 39 bucks if I found a good, real I’m going to use it, but you can’t go wrong with this guy likes it very smooth, I’m sure I left something out, but if you guys have any questions on it, let me know I’ll be more than happy to you know, answer them, and you know guys if you liked the video subscribe and till next time we’ll see you guys later.
My name is Andrew wheeler I’m, the product manager for Abu Garcia I’d like to introduce the new black max series of reels again to really get that comfort factor. We use a bent, handle and a bent star, which gets your hand closer to the reel, making much more ergonomic and easy to fish with. We use our stainless steel bearing system in the maxx family.
This uses a 4+1 stainless steel, bearing system giving you smooth operation to really help stop those large fish. We use our power disc, drag design, which just gives you a very smooth, consistent, drag pressure again to help with the weight of the reel, make it much more ergonomic to fish with we use a one-piece, graphite frame and graphite side plates.
The gear system in the Black Max is outdoor gear. This is our brass gear system. Just gives you a lot of durability and gives you years of operation out of the black max reels, to help control the cast and give you really smooth consistent, cast ability. We use our mag tracks braking design, and this just gives you a very consistent, drag pressure throughout the cast.

Foreign, so what is up everyone welcome back to another episode here on texas reeling. I got an exciting, exciting video for you guys today today guys I am actually going to be reviewing what I think is the best cheapest rod you can buy for starting out or even for you guys that are advanced and fishing. That is the good old abu garcia black max see. If I get that in focus there, we go yes well, this one, I actually got it from walmart, I want to say for 68 bucks, but you can buy the reel by itself for about 49.
If I’m not mistaken, which usually that’s all I need is the real, but I want to hit him about the combo because they didn’t have the real by itself, but man, this rod is a this real is an awesome awesome reel. I love this reel. I actually own. This is my second or third one that I own and I actually plan on buying one or two more I like using them for cranking. That’s really what I like them for chatter bait, fishing stuff, like that, it’s a six four to one I think yeah, six, four to one, so it’s a slower type reel, but works really really well.
I think this is a newer one because it has different grips than the older ones that I have I’ll show you guys real, quick, um see. This is the one I already own before and it has different grips, which I really like the the newer ones. These grips are like rubber grips and I feel like they do better when your hands are wet. I haven’t tried it yet not with these new grips. This is the first time I see them like this, so I went ahead and bought it um, but yeah I’m actually going to do a review on it.
Show you guys how good it works. I’m going to take it out today, I’m going fishing with mike from 4d fishing. We’re going to do some pond fishing, and this is the reel I’m taking with me- show you guys how good it works. Talk about it a little bit and uh might even do a little challenge against mike with it. Hopefully, the black max comes out on top. I will talk more about this reel when I get out there, while I’m fishing all right. So I loaded this thing up with 12 pound p line, uh fl flow or carbon coated is what it is.
It’s not 100 fluorocarbon. I would prefer the fluorocarbon 100, but I didn’t have them laying around. I just pulled up some of my other reels, so this one, my rock with I like this p-line, it’s pretty good, it’s not as good as some of the other brands that I like, but it gets the job done. It gets the job done now. This rod is a 6 6 medium, but, like I said, I love using the reel. I’m not a my the the rod, it’s okay, but it’s not typically what I would use it for, but for someone that’s just starting out this rod would be perfect for you um.
For me, I use the reel for cranking, like I said, but I mean it’s not a bad rod, just not what I need it for all right guys. I’ve made it out here with the crew with the 4d fishing crew. We uh. We made it out here to the first pond. So the challenge we came up with the rules is going to be whoever catches, the most fish is going to be me and carson versus jackson and mike and uh pros versus joe’s. So all I got is one rod, my blue, garcia, that I showed you guys earlier.
They got 62 rods, so they uh they came prepared, but uh we’re gonna, throw a bunch of different baits and we’re gonna see if we can get into a lot of fish. We’re gonna be pond hopping, trying all kinds of uh all kinds of ponds out here: I’ve never fished them, they fished them. So I’m excited. I hear, there’s some big fish in here, so hopefully we can get into a couple of those big ones. You guys stay tuned, I’m starting off with a spinner bait. Guys I feel like spinnerbait, is it’s a good day for it, good old, cloudy skies a little bit of wind pushing this way? Did you bring your night crawlers, mr mike your shrimp? I got to get this real, adjusted guys.
I backlashed on my first cast one cool thing about this reel. Is it’s easy to adjust? That’s why I feel like it’s. A good beginner’s reel bam. Bam. Look at carson’s already on first cast. Is it a giant so carson’s on already there’s one: it’s not a bad one, some healthy healthy fish! There we go guys on the boot. Garcia, not a bad fish got a nice frame to them. There we go. I actually missed two other ones right there. Finally got them to hit. Look at that guys without backlashing.
Never put my thumb on it. That’s what I love about these reels once you get them adjusted just right, you don’t never have to worry about it, backlashing really bad on you once you get them just right and it’s not hard to adjust these reels not hard at all I’ll show you guys that again, how I bombed it out. There I won’t put my thumb on it: let it hit the water and it’ll never backlash check it out. Watch this, never backlashed, then just let it stop on its own.
I think carson just hooked up into one, so we’re at 4-0 carson just hooked up into another one 4-0 yeah. Oh, I forgot to show them the trophy show them that trophy we’re going to take home today, yep I’m just getting used to holding it right now, a quick update, guys. We just got finished uh fishing, the first pond we’re up 4-0 right now me and carson. They got us in back of the truck because we’re winning we’re going to the next pond. Um carson says this next pond.
It can easily get evened up pretty quick, so we’ll see what happens when we get there. You guys stay tuned. I’m gonna move down here a little bit and see. If I can get one, not this corner, the old chatter bait, I see a little piece of that structure or something there’s one: a chatter bait all right, there’s a piece piece of wood or something sticking up right there and I ran it right by it and he hit it got some little pretty little lipstick 5-0, I’m gonna, stop fishing here and I’m gonna walk around.
I’m gonna! Wait till you get past me before. I say something: [Laughter] see that little piece of stick coming out the water right there, somebody that’s where I caught that. First one and I got another bite off of it afterwards, I’m not gonna, be too happy. If you come and fish in front of me, [Laughter] laughs, oh mr mike’s, hooked up, he came, he came up [Laughter] robin carter said you got to touch him. He came off! Oh [Laughter], oh okay, mr mike’s hooked up.
Okay, it’s all right cause, we’re gonna, we’re gonna, we’re gonna, hang right there with you. I’m hooked up too. So is that six six two six two we doubled up over here- man, mr mike mr mike, is on fire over there. [Laughter], oh, like you, find a little hot spot over there, mr mike they’re biting really good on this side of the pond. If you want to move, you ought to try that night, crawler that shrimp, a shrimp, crawler yeah, hey carson, do you know who invented the ned rig.
You won’t believe it, but I got it wrong. I lost. I lost a bet to that question. A guy named ned. I said I thought I told my wife, I’m pretty sure someone with a different name, and I was wrong. Let me check out that new ned rig, don’t think of a look at that, I’m walking up to him and the guy’s catching fish that is nice yeah. I haven’t seen those it’s brand new, oh sick, that tail just flops y’all check out the new ned rig by 4d. That thing is sweet. I got.
I got a tip. What color is that for the folks? Okay, I don’t really know it’s just kind of something I mixed up, but when you’re fishing in pretty much any situation, your fish are suspended. What you can do with this nedrig is you can just lock your rod like that and do it like that and it just swims through the water about halfway down and those suspended fish will just come and get in. It’s really look at that effective, just speaking of it really effective for suspended fish on a cloudy day like today, that’s back-to-back calves, guys back to back, cast 10 10-3 10 back-to-back cast time to catch me, a giant [Laughter]! Oh wow, that’s a giant! That’s a giant wow! He looked, I mean that’s still a good fish.
It’s a nice fish got a belly on it. There we go this stuff brother, all right wrong way. Buddy! Is that another good one that one’s bigger ain’t it? Oh, that’s a good one! There that’s another good one, solid! There’s one guys! There’s one! That’s a good one too guys get out of there all right, not a bad one, not a bad one. At all. On the old chatter bait there we go guys biggest one of the day: solid fish, beautiful fish. There you go all right, I’m going to the money hole all right guys.
This is another pond. We did pretty good at the last pond caught three solid fish. I think me and uh carson are up like 15 to three, if I’m not mistaken, but I really really like how this spot looks right here got a good feeling about here got a little creek in there. Oh yeah winds blowing in this corner here goes. Nothing got to be a fish in here there he is first cast first cast and there we go guys on the old chatter bait. It’s not a bad one, not a bad fish.
There we go. I believe, there’ll be some more in here. There’s another one, that’s a good one! Oh I just lost a giant that was a god. I couldn’t move them. That was a giant whoo. That was a big fish guys. I could not move him at all. He started pulling drag. There’s one there’s one guys! Yep, it’s pretty solid fish! There we go guys fat. They got a frame on them. Solid frame, check that out guys solid, solid frame. Look at the belly on it. Let him go down in this drain, see you later buddy bam.
Let’s go get smoked, carson, there’s one, that’s a good one too! It’s a little bit bigger than the other ones. Yeah! That’s bigger! Oh get in here! That’s a toad! Yes, it is. I gotta take a picture of this one, all right. Let’s let this baby go know what probably about a three it had a real it got a big frame on it. Well guys that is going to do it for today’s video. I hope you guys took something good out of this review and enjoyed the little challenge that we had going on.

It’s happening, everybody welcome back to the test lake. We are finally we’re in between thunderstorms right now, so we have approximately 67 70 degrees, something like that. It’s overcast, which is excellent. The wind is extremely light tonight. So since we’re dealing with post frontal conditions and I guess really prefrontal conditions too, because it’s supposed to happen again tomorrow, I’m we’re gonna, do a rod and reel review tonight.
So what we have here tonight are these: these are the abou Garcia Black Max. Now you can find the Black Max at pretty much any retail store out there. Walmart Academy Dick’s Bass Pro, Shop Cabela’s, you name it. You can find the Black Max, but anyway, these are. These are sort of the entry-level bait, caster and spinning reels that Garcia offers. So what we’re gonna do tonight is fish with these and, as usual, at the end of the video we’re gonna, give it a scorecard I’ve mentioned in previous videos.
That Garcia is just one of my favorite manufacturers when it comes to rod and reels, particularly in the bait casting market. The Black Max is a commissioned at the beginning, they’re kind of an entry-level bait casting rod and reel combo, so the combo itself actually is it’s a five bearing reel six point, four to one gear ratio. This is actually set on a 7-foot medium heavy rod. The one that Todd is using is the spinning combo I can’t roll with the gear ratio.
Oh yeah, yeah, five point five point: one to 1 gear ratio spending combo that one’s actually set on a six six medium action rod that particular rod is also available in two-piece, which is what that is, and so yeah it’s it’s a really nice setup, especially for the money, we’ll see how see how they do tonight. My lure my lure selection tonight I would be remiss if I didn’t throw a dt 6. So this is the same one that we used in the ER I was using in the other video the dt 6 video yeah.
This is this: is my lure selection tonight, I’m hoping it’s just as lethal as it was last time. So, though, that was just an awesome day. What are you throwing? Ok, so we got the h2o this one for me was Brandon’s dt 6. It produced the same results that did for him, but his lore, but anyway this is synced around 6 to 8, feet and senior. When we catch last time, I caught best wall, light I think I actually caught a crappie on this.
So this is my go to the worst night. There’s a little one. There we go fish number one on the Garcia Black Max and the dc-6 combo he’s a little guy, but still the rod is very responsible cut and put this guy back good gently, but rod was really responsive. It’s got a fast tip on the end of it, so it’s a get really good dexterity from your crank, baits and all that to source casting is concerned for being an older model or an entry-level model.
This thing casts really really well I, like the the fast tip on it, particularly for throwing crank baits. You can kind of heave-ho it out there and get a little extra spring to your cast, causing it to go a lot further. A couple of the things about the reel: it’s got a got the standard dials on it. You know for magnetic spool control. You know tensioners on the left and right pretty straightforward, I mean it’s got the minimum button here or the minimum indicator here.
Maximum indicator here, pretty straightforward, so you just kind of dial it in where you like for me: I preferred about two or three clicks off of maximum, especially when I’m casting into the wind like I, am tonight and out from that backlash and then, as far as the fall of it I just kind of let it fall freely to the water. There’s a bass, the guys the fish aren’t very big tonight, but I guess in the defense of the Black Max.
The the soft hit or the the fast tip on the rod makes it easy to detect when you’ve got hit by a small fish. So we’ll go ahead and let this guy go here, but yeah – down on the black max, so initial impressions on the black max combo, very sensitive rod, tip I like that, especially when throwing a crank bait, you can really feel it. On the other end, you know kind of get the feedback with something that wobbles pretty heavy like the dt six, it’s really good and responsive, so you can feel even if the fish are small like they are tonight, you get really good.
So you get a really good response, so how’s it been running for you other than fishing, not being good, but it’s a great rod reel though it’s a Cassim, the country mile, which I like it’s I like to cast far out the way that we fish here but I love it it’s a great product. So far, are you throwing you on there? Are you on anything? Yes, it’s probably deep hooked, but whatever will save him right, corners, um top you’re going in you’re going in, oh, my god.
No, you stay away. Finally, finally, a respectable fish in the boot I’m throwing a little finesse. It’s a little shaky head with a crawfish creature bait on it. Alright, there we go. Do you want the net all right? Folks, that’s gonna! Do it for us, with the abou Garcia black max time to go ahead and give it a Casey bass? Guy scorecard, if you’ve been here from before you’re familiar with how this works.
There’s five categories, each measured on a scale of 1 to 10. Each of us give out as many as 50 possible points for each product that we test. Then at the end of it we take the average of our scores, and that gives us the official Casey bass, guys scorecard. So a category one is price. Is this rod and reel priced well in comparison to other products of similar nature and purpose, so the Black Max? You can pick up either in spinning combo or baitcaster combo for right, around 50 bucks, so right around $50 at pretty much any sporting goods, retailer B at Walmart or academy, or Bass, Pro or Cabella.
So in the category of price I mean. Certainly, there are some that are less expensive, but for a quality, bait, caster or spinning reel with the you know, with the Garcia brand I’m, actually going 9 out of 10 on price. How about you on that one? It’s it’s that great! It’s not not really bad or anything like that. I’ve ones, I usually get around the 40 to 45 range, but 50 for this type of set up here.
Isn’t too bad, so I’m gonna go consolidate on this one fair enough category 2 is function. Did it perform the way it was supposed to perform, so it’s a rod and reel. Obviously the the function of it is to cast out a lure and retrieve that lure and in the area of function. I’m going to say it: did it flawlessly so I’m actually going to go ten out ten on function? What about you yeah? Definitely 10 out to this one: no backlashes, no hookups! Anything like that! Solid ten cool good deal, category, three usability! How easy is the product to you? So there’s two different types on the chopping block tonight: there’s the spinning reel and there’s the baitcaster version.
Whatever your preference is, of course, bait casters, you want to dial those in a little bit. Spinning reels. You definitely want to make sure you got the drag dialed in the way that you like so as far as usability goes I mean just because there is a baitcaster in the mix. I’m gonna actually go with an eight out of ten on that, just because bait casters are a little more finicky than spinning reels.
You definitely want to make sure you have your settings in there. So it’s not just plug-and-play. You definitely want to make sure you have it dialed. In correctly, what about you? I’ll go with ten out of ten. This one’s spinning reels are by nature, easy to use like he said, but for us for what it did. Everything else could not been more impressed here. I typically I’m a Pflueger fan, but no I might be having to make the switch here.
So I’m gonna give it ten before category durability. Did the product hold up during the test? So what a lot of fish caught tonight, but we did, but we didn’t catch fish, so it is I mean yeah that they held up just fine, that they didn’t break I didn’t lose any rings out of the eyes or anything like that, so yeah excellent product. It definitely held up for me, so I’m going 10 out of 10 as far as durability is concerned about you, yeah and I would much to add on that.
One like he says, as long as it holds up, doesn’t break and least catches one or two fish tonight, I’m pretty satisfied so 10 out in on that one fair enough. Fifth and final category effectiveness: did it produce the expected result? So the expected result, when you’re dealing with a rod and reel, is to be able to get your baits back right. So you cast it out reel it in and that’s what you expect from it, whether or not you catch fish is kind of irrelevant when reviewing a rod and reel, but I mean obviously that’s a plus, but as far as effectiveness.
Yes, it absolutely cast out it didn’t and retrieved. I didn’t hear any gear issues or grindings or anything like that, even when I, you know, even when I was casting extremely hard to get more distance, so yeah as far as effectiveness and retrieving the lures every time ten out of ten from me by oh yeah, ten, this thing worked flawlessly: I mad, no hookups, no, like I, said before no, no snags, no backlashes, nothing because this could not have been a more effective rod reel combo here so I’m very happy this time.
Again. As far as how this works here, we tally up our two total scores. Each of us are able to award 50 possible points, I’m, actually giving away 47 to the Garcia black max. How about you I got you one on this one go with the 48 now again, just to make sure it’s an accurate representation of both of our opinions of the Garcia black max we take the average of our two scores combined. Our scores combined are 95.
So of course, the average of that is going to be forty seven and a half excellent job Garcia. Once again, you guys knocked it out of the park, especially for an entry level, baitcaster and spinning combo links in the description below to the black max. If you’re interested in checking out some of those we’ll put up some places where you can find them also make sure to smash like for it. Let us know that you were here and, as always, if you have any rod reel combos, you want as the test lures whatever the case is, please let us know we’d be more than happy to to to test those down to make sure to hit the red subscribe button down there.
For us, we really appreciate your support once again we’re the KC bass, guys I’m, Brandon and I’m Todd y’all have a good one.
What’s going on guys, this is Chris your enemy during a view on the Abu Garcia Black Max, 3 I’ve. Had this real for about I want to say four or five months that’s been continually used of using a big game of use it on a small game right off the bat. The biggest thing that I really liked about this reel was the aesthetics. Let me see it’s really got some nice anodized red aluminum bars and it’s got a graphite frame, the rest of its kind of plastic.
But it’s not doesn’t really bother me. It’s a it’s! A high quality plastic. This guy’s got five ball bearings in it whoo it’s it’s all, mostly really smooth for the price range. It’s also got. It takes 145 yards, a 12 pound test monofilament, and then it takes a 140 yards of 30 pound test braided line. You have 18 pounds of drag your drag system over here. It’s got the 10 settings and all lucky settings which is really nice Yuri, trying to balance it on the fly.
You have five magnets, nothing, bad, nothing, nothing super good to say anything bad to say and let a drag system. It’s it’s a drag system, the tensioner I actually really like the tensioner. You can get it almost perfectly dialed to whatever you need. I use, I’ll go all the way from else weights to you know, quarter ounce weights. So this is a this gets it all done really nicely. You can see it’s not kind of a it’s got a nice finish to it, so nothing I can say bad.
What was that I? Really? Do you like that? For the price point $50 I mean you can’t go wrong with this this reel at all. It’s honestly, it’s one of the best really good in get in the zero to fifty dollar range. By far, the only issues that I’ve had with it. It’s not super noticeable, the camera probably, but this arm here it Wiggles a bit- and you can’t tell right now, but when, when this reels under a load like when I’m reeling in a Fisher, you really need some weeds or something like that.
It. It clicks at a certain point. So I’ll get it click, click, ok and yeah. I, don’t know I! Guess it’s something! You’d expect for $50 real, but it’s something that bothers me and it’s one of those things that would probably make me want to go, buy a better, better, real, so I’ll point out one more drawback and that’s gonna be the drag system over here. So you can see it’s it’s not clucky.
If I can use that term, it doesn’t click and it’s really like. Oh no, it’s it’s tricky to use. I’m gonna fly sometimes I’ve had it I’m, really gonna fish and then also my accidentally loosen this or accidentally tighten it so that just messes with my drag it’s just but that’s another downside I mean if you’re looking at hauling big fish mm super strict, um drag, maybe I’d go, spend the extra money, but if you’re just hauling it bass or even Pike, or something like that, then uh perfect for you, you see it there.
It looks really nice. This is gonna, be a starting reel for bait. Casting it’s not gonna, be by this and you’re good I mean you can do that and if you’re, okay with you know little things like that, right clicks or no drag systems, not the best about that to you and if you can live with that and by all means buy this and dealing fifty dollars. You’ll ever spend on a reel. But for me, like I, really really enjoyed this, but it also made me want to go, buy more expensive reel.
Just so, I can get a more premium feel so your guy said this is more of a stepping-stone, if you’re not sure if you’re gonna like bay casting, but you you’re interested in getting into it and finding out. At least this will not be a waste of fifty dollars. So if you’re not sure about bay, casting and really interested, but not super inclined to spend all the money go with this guy here.
This is gonna, be the best bang for your buck and they can help you determine if it’s worth it getting a two or three hundred dollar baitcaster. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, let me know down below alright guys thanks a lot bye, bye.
I got a big video coming up three off I, so my birthday recently and I got gifted some stuff. I got a Abu Garcia Black Max next-generation, it’s real wheeling rod. Combo is honestly a really nice rod. Is seven foot medium heavy with a 1012 pound line on it. This is a 12 pound line. No, it sprayed 20 pound 120 pound power pearl on here, which is really nice. I haven’t had no no black flashes, no bird nest, no, nothing! It’s a really nice rod and reel and then, with the money I got.
It is a little cheaper which I really don’t care because worth it for me, I got the lose American Hero, spinning rod. This thing was like 30 bucks. Honestly, it was worth it. I got like this is what of course, it’s cut here. This is actually it’s. It was called catfish, Pro person, it said I had catfish on it, but honestly it is some pretty good braid. It’s not that bad. This is a 66 medium action. So it’s a pretty nice pole. It’s not that bad! It’s nice! It’s yeah, that’s cheaper, but honestly I, don’t care and I got a little tackle bag with boxes and stuff in them some bait, some swim baits some trailers I got like five dollars off.
I got little skip bait kind of thing, jerk bait, another little crank, bait, ouch, ouch, ouch ouch. How do I do this? I hurt strike, kidding, I, think I know a little tiny frog, yellow on the beat a little tiny frog mini frog, a bunch of spinner baits, and then I got this little crank bait. That’s pretty nice I use that pretty good and then I got I have a whole bunch of stuff. My mom, oh, do you believe in yoga heck got some swim. Some PowerBait swim, baits I haven’t used those yet I won’t try one of those and so I’m gonna show y’all my new stuff if I catch anything got a weight, spinnerbait off right now, which pretty good I love white spinnerbaits, my favorite so dish.
Oh, my god! This thing is so nice. It has. It was raining a lot earlier, but it’s a little bit sprinkling. Now it’s not that bad! Hopefully I can catch something least they have to just a little quick brush, actually, no, nothing so yeah, just real, quick, no I’m, good Daphne bug. This is really dark water. So I like using my white spinnerbait back here, because it is darker water, but I guess I, don’t know, but maybe the BFS or not, but honestly this this.
This rib is so smooth on here for a real, a rod and reel combo. This thing is amazing. This thing is so good, just like the action of it is just amazing in my eyes feels so nice. Those clean and I got an ant on me. I hurt you move down a little bit or seal. It has get something over there, most likely still wet a little bit, not too bad wherever I go. Of course, I knew Logan. That plan I was trying not to hit the plant I hit. The plant I saw I was out fishing earlier out of lake, oh god, man! Don’t do this to me right now.
Ah, of course, the King breaks on me I sing, see this ain’t the best goddang spinnerbait eating suck. My spinnerbaits me and my favorite, but just these are the made so badly I, don’t know what they are: – freakin $1 things at Walmart freaking, given to me. These things to me are just god-awful tom is still bleeding in Jonathan thorns God dang it man. This thing is so smooth I got powned power per one here, oh no, no back lashes at all.
For me, not one yet watch I’m gonna say that I’m gonna get one later watch out for where I’m stepping what oh yeah I got the shirt I’m wearing -. It’s pretty nice keeps the Sun off me. My arms feels nice and one of those like microfibers sleeve shirts, oh dang, it’s mad, but no I I really do like this around just review this. So I do like this pole. It is seven foot. It says it’s 24 ton graphite, which it’s not it’s not cheaply, made hooked holders right here, blue holder.
It has foam above before right ahead of the brie right behind the reel and at the end, with a rubberized tip. That’s metal. These are rubber, nice rubber. All this is metal. It’s not! No plastic- and this is six point four six point: zero. Four, no six 6 41 King eight up, but that’s really. Nice is a really nice real. It has that I love this huh. That’s on that sound going from cast into pretreatment eight up and this week is gonna- be raining all week, -, it’s all about 50% chance of rain, except for Wednesday, which is 20 but I.
Think the gear ratio on this one is perfect. Honestly, it’s you know. At this rate, it is a good speed for, like my spinnerbait, it is good speed. If I want to slow down it’s not the hardest slowed down, go faster, it’s not too hard. It feels so good, so smooth in the hand. Honestly, it feels so good I, don’t know how much this thing is. I might have a look at I want to get home, but for the price of it, I think this is going to be I.
Think this is the number one rod and reel combo on a budget. I think this is gonna be number one and if somebody like from this brand, actually watches this video and sees that I got this, the abou Garcia and the loose I. Oh sorry, I heard something make sure nothing behind me, but uh. If they see it in know and see my lose combo up there. I got that honestly. So I can get a cheap spinning around Road I think was thirty dollars. It honestly, hey I haven’t used it yet it may be good on the budget for as a spinning rod.
Maybe, but if there was, if I found a good I haven’t looked at I was wrong. I probably should have looked at Abu Garcia, but I didn’t look for any spinning comments by Abu Garcia that were around that same price spending combos if I found one that was I, probably would have got that one just because it may have would have matched this one, but I’m not one of those to stick to one brand I’m, not one of those to have all lose our boo Garcia.
Oh that’s! What I saw the San Fran I’m, not one of those that house all one brand, so I’m gonna mix my things up, mix around and see what I actually like it? Maybe if I like one over the other I may get more of that. So look right now, I’m just testing to see what I do like like this Abu Garcia is really really nice, but like they’ll like if I see, if I, maybe don’t like that loose spinning rod as much I may want to invest in Abu, Garcia, spinning rod and see how good that is, but uh or if I, want to see how the loose bait caster are casting reel.
Is I may do that I, don’t know, I have no idea. I want to see you exactly what I know what I like first and then I’ll use that brand, but a lot of people a lot of people like those Explorer around like they don’t want to keep one brand and have a small product list that they could buy. I’m. Not one of those people like the real I had before was Akuma in a field in sugar. Was that holy crap pull this thing hit my face. Man I, don’t know what that was like a dang bird holy crap, but I’m not gonna like before.
I had Akuma real and a filled-in scream pole yeah they were in budget, were they good they’re good mate would I buy another one, maybe but I want to see I want to explore before I set my eyes on one product. You know I want to explore before I want to only buy with this brand, which may maybe not happen so I’m trying to catch a fish here, so I can catch them on you rod I thought. Maybe this one would work a lot better because cuz white and white worked perfect here.
Last time, I always like using white here, just just the water is dark, and even if I don’t catch a fish on this rod doesn’t mean this rod and reel or bad. It just means. I didn’t pick the right lure today, I may have to go. I may go up and switch them out, but it just means I didn’t pick the right dane to fish with today. That’s all that means the pole. The rod reel doesn’t mean anything about catching a fish it just that is the lures job about catching the fish I just saw a fish over there.
I may go now another way down there. Keep on. But honestly this pole is so nice I’m not kidding you. This thing is amazing. A balance point well. I also have the the lure on so there’s probably going to be off I’ll. Take it off later and see what about, but usually it’s supposed to be right here, but just that, oh, my god, it feels durable. It doesn’t feel cheap because well made I, don’t want to explore like if I have another abu, garcia, real or combo.
I may do another review video on that. Oh may have another review video on that, but if I don’t I may not have one, but if I get a lose one instead, I’m gonna do a video on that one, but that one over there probably be the one right after this but uh I to me, it’s not about praying honestly, like I just wanna. Most people are like focus on one brand: I’m not I want to explore the options of products and the product availability, and all that like if this Brent has more casting rails and spinning rules than all of them, combined I’m, not gonna.
Just pick that one brand I’m gonna pick the one that I feel best with when I feel suitable with the one I feel has the best quality, the best feel and all that I’m not gonna, settle with something that just because they’re, more popular I’m gonna settle with them. In what I mean said, oh I, don’t mean sterilized a bad thing hasn’t said: oh isn’t that stuff like this right now, I’m just trying things out the castle appears perfect I love.
It feels so good in my hand, and this pole does gonna come apart by the way. That’s pretty far, that’s what dragged down if I fix my drag, not my dragging my this thing. I forgot that was called. Do you like the magnetic system, yeah drag, no I forgot was called man I’m, drawing a blank. Look at that I, sighs, I’m, gonna, think of a mode. No! No anything, but honestly if y’all are know if y’all would be able to see this hold on me fix it’s.
Thank you even that low school man and this gets wet. It’s gonna, try. It look, I sure hope he always sees done kind of thing. It’s not. It was like even further the holy crap that went far I, don’t know if y’all saw that it went pretty far as right here. Whoa Oh Dallas was a win. That’s probably why I went so far because I almost backlash right there I don’t know if y’all saw that on the backlash right, they’re doing against the wind.
That’s why I fought I shouldn’t. Do Kent against the wind. I should probably tighten that back up then just in case I’m like this thing is perfect. It’s a spy bearing. Oh my god. This thing is amazing. So if you’re looking for a budget, I know I didn’t catch anything bit, I know I did y’all can make fun of me all. You want I, really don’t care I’m, not gonna. I, don’t know! If I post this video before I will post that video up I made a video about me saying how I don’t like people saying how? Oh you didn’t: catch, no fish or how people saying that you people thinking, oh, we didn’t catch.
No fish, she’s like well yeah, spider, dude that man on get out of here like if you want to say or think like. Oh you can’t fish the thing sucks or well gotta! Think weather has been awful well waters been high. Is there a raining all day? I’m not gonna, be able to catch a fish right now, I’m trying yeah I’m trying but I’m not making any promises so I don’t want y’all thinking that I didn’t catch a fish because of this I. That’s not good! That’s not good truth! That’s not the fact! So! If y’all are looking to buy a budget, a budget, real real rod and reel combo I would refer and recommend the abou Garcia Black Max next-generation.
This thing is amazing. I really like this thing and I will recommend this to anybody. That’s just started fishing or just starting to get into bait casters themselves. This thing is amazing: I wish I had Abu Garcia spinning reel, but I, don’t so I’m, not gonna include it in the same videos to me, the next video I’m going to review the lose American here, a spinning combo, so I hope you all enjoy. It hope you enjoyed this review. Hope this helping you out and choosing what your next rod and reel is, and hopefully this isn’t break you’re, just a prank, your bank.
So thank all for washing I. Guess. I’ll see you in the next video.
Fishing thanks for joining me today, man I, really appreciate your time is important to me. What I want to do today is just keep a quick breakdown of this ever Garcia black max reel that I’ve been using for close to the last three years. Getting my thoughts and feelings on it. Do a little review just to give you guys some insight on this rule that is so popular right now, stick around alright guys. First things. First on the Black Max, like I’ve, been using it close to three years now, have two of them and I’ve used them extensively fishing, basically, all your all spring summer into the late fall, but some basic stats on the reel.
It is a 6 point, 4 to 1 gear ratio and what that means is it has taken in about 26 inches of line per handle turn. It also has a one-piece machined graphite frame and a aluminum spool on it machined aluminum school, to make it a little bit stronger, also has a really neat or what I think’s need. This bent handle design is really comfortable for fishing all day with the reel, rather than a straight handle. You wouldn’t think that would make much of a difference, but it honestly does I put real grips on these just because I like them gives a little more bulk to the reel handle and such.
But you know down to the nuts and bolts of this this reel. You know the price point on. It is about $40, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, but I’ll tell you what for 40 bucks you just can’t beat it. I have reels that are higher in that cost. Much more, but I have several that are in this price point, along with the two black maxes also have a pishy fun torrent, which I’ll put the link down in the description. So you guys can watch that video in that review too. If you want to how this compares, for example, to the torrent I like the Black Max, better I, don’t have any issues with working with it and what I mean by that is I’ve got a number of fish on this in the past few years.
In the five six and even low seven pound range and I never feel like I’m out of control. With that I personally crank the star drag all the way down. I get all the torque out. I want any both side surges I like to just use my thumb and thumb this spool, rather than the drag I, know a lot of guys. Don’t like to do that. That’s just me personally, but the pissy fun torrent, one of the other videos I’ll link down the description. I had a bass that was a little over six and a half pounds was caught on that reel.
I, don’t say anything on the video, but at one point the twerking on earth I can feel like it was. It was one the surge and slipped that spool starting to want to slip and I don’t mean from the drag so kind of some twerking issues with that not with the blackmax once again give a little close-up of it here and I’m sure you can look at it. Online sue has a magnetic cast control system on it. I believe it’s one thing eight clicks on there, so you can really fine-tune it. In also has the separate like I say the star drag over here we can control the the function little bit more.
What I haven’t matched up with this particular one I haven’t matched up on a falcon buku rod, which is a longer rod. Seven foot rod, but with the micro guides, I use it for throwing cinco’s and lighter weight. Lures like that, the other black max that I have here. If you really want an economy package, I have it on the Berkeley lightning rod which I think as a phenomenal ride. Rod I’m sorry for that price point as well, really really like this reel and this rod. Combo I use this for spinner baits.
If you guys have watched some of the videos in the past, you’ll see that the spinner baits on this or one of my favorite basic, throw and so off a little bit heavier baits on this one here have this one rigged up with 12 pound pline, CX, fluorocarbon coated line and I have the other one rigged up with ten pound P line. Cx, it’s also a four carbon coated. If you’re looking for a budget baitcasting reel or even a starting baitcaster reel it’s fantastic or if you’re looking at bay, caster rules to back up some of your other high-end reels, whether you’re tournament fishing or your recreational guy and you’re.
Just wanting some extra reels to kind of put in the arsenal. These are fantastic, I mean after three years of hard use, like I, say I fished these spring summer late into the fall they have held up very very well. This reel is extremely smooth on the cast smooth on the retrieve. Neither one of these are either. One of these reels make any kind of noise on the cast or on the retrieve, which tells me the bearing systems holding up well. The bearing system on this is a five bearing system. It’s four stainless steel, ball bearings and one roller bearing so that plays along with the six point four to one gear ratio.
I think it works very, very well. So, if you’re looking to get a budget baitcasting reel, this is one that I would highly recommend. Like I, say: I’ve got the pissy fund torrent I’ve even got some of the Bass Pro Shop ones that are like the Bass Pro Shop extreme and turny special, which kind of in that same 40 to $60 price range and I have my druthers on all those and there’s several others. I’ve tried to the Black Max, definitely for the durability cast ability, it’s very user friendly forgiving on the cast like I, say on the other one rigged up on the Abba Garcia that I’m sorry, the the Falcon buku rod I can cast a sink of no weight on it.
Just with a four three four out hook and I have no problems with backlashes right. So it’s kind of a recap, guys I’ll tell you what the Abu Garcia Black Max, if you’re looking for a budget fishing reel, is a fantastic reel. I mean this is a durable reel got a lot of big fish on it. Just got a lot of numbers of fish. I’ve never had it fail on me. Also like this one here can cast light lures with that. What I have it rigged up on here with this buku rod, this Falcon buku and don’t have issues with once you get the eluard adjusted with the magnetic control and such I don’t have any problems with the backlash and and then the other setup I’ve got I can cast the heavier stuff like my jigs and spinner baits and square bolt, crank baits and such lipless crankbaits.
It’s just something as far as a budget reel goes that a lot of the others can’t do, and you know, I have reels that are higher in and the higher-end reels I’ve got actually one or two that they I’ve had them about the same at the time and they do not perform like this real does they did in the beginning, but not now, hey guys, final thoughts on the ever Garcia Black Max. If you guys are looking for a budget reel or maybe a backup reel. This is one I really recommend. I wouldn’t say that if I really didn’t mean it, the nuts and bolts of it is, it is a basic reel, but man it gets the job done and it’s really comfortable a lot of those real out there that are 75 $150 without having to spend that kind of money.
So you might want to give this one a shot like I say if you’ve been looking at it for a while, it’s worth dropping the cash on, and if you guys really enjoyed this video like this video, please give me a like and subscribe. It helps me out trying to grow my channel some more here and hope to grow even more in 2020 I appreciate you guys watching I appreciate your guys time. We’ll see you on the next one thanks.

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.

Ambassador in this video I’m going to unbox and review the flooger president xt 30, if you’re new to the channel I, think fishing adventures how-to videos, some product reviews like this all revolve around bass, fishing, I’d love to have you sub say that subscribe, like also, if at any point in the video you’d like to own this reel, will be Amazon links in the description box.
You can click it and you can take it from there. Let’s get into the review I like this reel like out of the box, it’s got a good feeling, -, it’s my first Luger I, hope I’m pronouncing that correctly. I think I am but I like it. It’s nice give your box three compact box respects on the side with features on the back open it up. It’s your real owner’s manual and assembly, part numbers and it comes in a plastic bag.
The handle is reversible. You just take the cap off. It’s so funny, because I actually posted the video saying that it wasn’t reversible and it was left-handed only, but you can reverse it. I’m just gonna get that cap off for the life of me, like it wouldn’t go anywhere. Alright, it’s just so strange, but the anvil comes out. You just hold your rotor for lucky and retrieve and you’re gonna spin.
It counterclockwise I, don’t know why I couldn’t the catwalk was so strange. Oh absolutely convinced that it was left-handed, but it’s not it’s fine! All right now, I’m gonna head it in the rest of the video, pretty simply pretty quiet. The other thing I notice is that that that handle is just straight shooting out a lot of the grilles I’ve dealt with it.
They have a little bit of a curve to it, but I mean I still think it’s close enough to that real sonic way out there and the other thing that I noticed right off the bat. Was that a little bit of attention, but as I use it more, it seems to be breaking in like it’s not like a it’s not like in preschool like it’s so super smooth that it’s free spool.
You know what I mean like something that I, don’t fear ever dealt with. A spinning reel is just so super smooth the slab there’s a little bit of attention. I. Don’t think that necessarily means that’s bad or there’s anything wrong with that. It’s just something I noticed on an initial impression, but I like it. It’s nice and compact.
This is the size 30 which for bass fishing. You know, I had a 35 that thought about getting well. I was afraid if I went to the 35 that it would become more of an offshore setup because the weight- this is seven point six ounces. It goes from seven point, six to nine point, one so I kept so I kept this so I kept it out of the 30 and it’s it’s it’s weird.
The the mono capacity for the 30 is at 4. Pounds is 255 yards at 6 pounds it’s under 45 and at 8 pounds it’s 130, which I am going to use 8 I, don’t think I’m, gonna drop down to 6 I, like that contest, who knows maybe I will but I’ll probably end up spooling with braid and then just tying off 400 liters or, if I put straight floor on there.
Maybe just do some definitely not a crankbait or just wacky worm, something that I don’t have to retire. My wine, every two or three casts that last, a while otherwise I think I’d burned through that 130 yards fairly quickly. So just a little I don’t know, I just wish it with the spools a little deeper, but it’s almost standard that line rating will start from the top and start with.
You drag drags nice I like the drag all right, like that’s, pretty much tight, and then your fingers don’t really slip off. It I think that dial could be a little wider. You know go through, but I, don’t think there’ll be an issue with that. It’s fairly comfortable and my hands don’t have a tendency to slip off it. My fingers don’t have a tendency to slip up at that much so it’s a nice drag and then, even when your school’s at max height that bail, no, you don’t be.
A thumb doesn’t run into the drag. It’s just nice. You get a have an aluminum spool. The bail system pretty well balanced, actually quite comfortable, not that much pressure either pressure dope to initiate it and then to close the establish turning power and it locks down. It doesn’t shake my hand so nice even system, it’s a very popular real, like I, was looking at a bunch of blog posts and a lot of people recommend this coming money.
For the price point in that drag system apparently, is sealed. It’s a sealed rack system now moving on to the rotor okay. So it’s really we’re trying to do my research here. They’re advertising, a feature that an aluminum main shaft alright, but so you can see that I’ve got the picture of the rotor, but I I, don’t think that’s the rotor! The rotor feels and sounds like graphite, so it’s either graphite of carbon I.
Think I’m, not sure I. Think when they’re talking about the shaft they’re talking about the main gear that the rotor spins around it’s nice and compact and move on -. This is gonna, be a carbon fiber handle with a rubber cork knob. It’s nice knob will stiff, but little the court materials little stiff, I felt softer core, but it’s still nice in your hand, it’s rude your hands, just kind of glue on to that cork.
Your fingers glue onto that cork. That’s it’s a good feeling! I, like it they’re gonna, be ten bearings in here. So it’s really weird like this I. Don’t know like it says: ten bearings I, don’t know how many of their accounting for, because there’s a roller bearing in here and I, thought it was probably a zero reverse. Anti reverse bearing in there as well.
So I, don’t know if it’s eight, plus one plus one or if they’re saying there’s ten bearings around the main shaft and then there’s an additional bearing here and then just convenient error. I think there wouldn’t be any anti reverse bearing because there’s an anti reverse switch, but it it’s marketed as ten bearing system. Your max drag is gonna, be ten pounds, your weight, seven point: six ounces, the 30 is six point two to one which is good, bringing you in 31 inches of line or animal revolution.
Schools braid reading I think. That’s I just feels like a nice grill I’m, pretty excited to use it. I’ve never had a Pflueger I, don’t see too much like I. Don’t have too many complaints with it so far. It just feels really nice I guess also that anti reverse switch is gonna, be right there in the center, which, if you watch my videos, you know I love that location for the anti reverse drag it like.
So, if you haven’t watched my videos, I I, don’t when it comes to fighting fish, I, don’t really rely on drag, I rely on the entire verse, so I’ll set my hook and then open up that anti reverse and then I’ll feed the fish line when it wants to take off and I’ll bring it in, but gives me a lot more control over the fight in that location.
I think is just the best location, because you don’t have to take your hand off the animal. Alright, so I’m very happy about that very excited about that and I wasn’t sure they didn’t market it. It’s not marketed so, and it’s not really visible in the pictures. I didn’t even know if there was gonna be an anti reverse on there, but there is I’m happy.
There is I like this real bins. This this reel has a good feeling to it. I think if the spool was a little deeper I’d be like super stoked. You know I’d be like really happy, but as it is I’m happy yeah I’m, looking forward to taking this out on the water. That’s just nice, it’s good just to agree. It’s got a nice feel. It’s got an excellent reputation very well known.
So that’s it. I’ve been looking forward to the spring, so I get this out in the water and make a making video how it performs a little water, so I think I. Think I’ve covered everything, really that’s important yeah, trying to figure out where it’s me pflueger’s, oh sure, it’s bein in China, so yeah, that’s it so I hope you like it hope it gave you good perspective.
We knew the channel subscribe button. I got plenty of these coming up and I’ve made plenty of them already yeah, looking forward to bringing this on the water. If you’d like to own it right now, there’s a link in the description box. It’s an Amazon link, you can click it and you can take it from there. Thanks for watching hope. This gave you a good perspective.
Hope you enjoyed it if you’re looking at this, if you’re looking at picking one of these up, I would I’m happy with them and sometimes that’s it. I’m gonna give you good perspective and help me get real big Batsuit. Thanks bye, you.
Gonna be doing a review on the Pflueger president spinning reel, so here’s the spinning reel. Let me show you guys right here, Pflueger president spinning reel and then I also have one on this rod. So I think you guys already know what I’m gonna say about this reel, just by showing you guys that I have two of them. I have two of these reels because they’re, absolutely fantastic I’m, not sponsored about Pflueger, not sponsor about any rod, companies or any fishing companies for that matter, but Pflueger makes good spinning reels they’re cheap.
They seem like something that wouldn’t be very good, but they make good spinning reels. They really do. I think that Pflueger makes probably the best spinning reel as far as bang for your buck. I don’t like to spend a lot of money on fishing rods and reels. If you guys are in that same boat, and you want to budget reel, especially a spinning reel, then I would highly recommend Pflueger before I even get into this video. As far as breaking down the spinning reel, I think that companies that make good products should get rewarded for it.
That’s why I’m fine with plugging it in my video, if you guys, are thinking about buying a Pflueger reel, then go pick. One up I will link down the this flooger reel down in the description below that way, you guys can go pick it up yourselves. So these flooger presidents, let me just show one at a time that would probably make it way easier. So these flooger present reels that I have. They are actually the older model of the flooger president. The reason why I have the older model flooger president, is because I’ve owned these for a while now and at the time I bought these I think was about two years ago.
The new version of the flooger president had just came out so Bass Pro had these on sale and I looked up tried to find the differences between the two and there wasn’t a lot of differences between the old model in the new bundle to me, I looked up reviews that the old model solve the good reviews of it and I was like this has been I mean it’s tried and true it’s it’s really been tested. It’s been a lot of tournament. Fishermen use these reels and I’m like. Why do tournament? Fishermen use Pflueger, spinning reels, but then use one company for all their bait casters and all their rods like I, know.
People who fish with all loose rods and all lose reels, but they use flooger, spinning reels I’m like why do they do that Luger, cheap rills lose makes way more expensive reels than flooger? Does wise, flooger so good. So I had to get a couple of these reels, but again, the reason why I got the old model is because they had them on sale, and I was like why not these seem like they’re good people have given them good reviews and I’ve never really fished with the new president.
So if you guys are trying to get the new Pflueger president real, then I really don’t know a whole lot about it. But I would assume it’s a good product, just like the older model, if you guys can find the older model for cheaper I would recommend getting it because you can probably get it for cheaper. Basically just said that twice but yeah you can probably get the older model cheaper. So if you’re looking for the real I mean go with the older model or at least I would I, don’t think that the Pflueger president, the new one can’t or the new model can beat this one so much that it’s worth paying more for it.
So the real I have I believe it’s the 2000, sighs I want to say: I’ve had these reels for so long now, it seems like I believe it’s the 2000, sighs real flooger may not call it the 2000 sighs they may call it a 20 or something like that. It’s like a mm sighs, spinning reel and that’s what I like for bass, fishing and just all around like walleye fishing trout fishing. If you want something, that’s really versatile. I really recommend the mm size spinning reel and that will suit you just fine on like a seven-foot rod or a six six rod.
But if you’re trying to you know, use a spinning rod for deep-sea fishing or something like that, then this is not the right. This is not the real for you, I’m, not even sure that you can use this in saltwater. Probably not I would have to double check on that, but this reel is a 5 point. 2 to 1 gear ratio reel there recently has been a shift where everybody wants a high gear ratio reel when it comes to bait casters and for a lot of applications. I agree with that.
You should have a high gear ratio reel when it comes to bait, casting applications and that’s sort of been the trend when it comes to spinning reels too people won’t like the 7 to 1, spinning reels or the 8 to 1 spinning reels that they make now like crazy, fast, spinning reels. It used to be that a spinning reel was nowhere near that high of a gear ratio, but now they are, but this is just a five point two to one. Why would I buy a five point, two to one that’s a slow reel.
Why would I get such a slow reel? Well, the reason why you get such a slow reel is one. This reel is amazing and two with spinning applications. I’m using this rod primarily for bass, finesse baits whenever I’m trying to slow it down whenever I want to bring my bait in slower a lot of times when I’m out there, fishing and the bite stuff I need to switch to the spinning rod and what I’ll do is I’ll put like a drop, shot or I’ll. Put a shaky head on here or I will put a wacky worm on it or an eco rig, or something like that, just to try to get a bite or an ed rig and with those baits.
You are reeling up slack a lot and you do want a high gear ratio reel for that. But I’m gonna take a different approach when it comes to finesse fishing with a spinning rod, you should have a high gear ratio reel as far as picking up slack I think that makes perfect sense. But one of my arguments would be. Is that me personally, when I get out there and I’m fishing I like to crank in my reel, handle a lot I, don’t like this? Is steel and so I can’t sit there and just turn my handle like really slow I can’t do that.
That’s just not how a fish I can either not turn it at all or I can turn it pretty steadily, and so, with a slower gear ratio reel, you can do that. You can turn it steadily without having to with a higher gear ratio, reel just barely crank it if you’re actually using like a moving bait. What like right now I have a jerk bait on it or, if you’re, using a crank bait or something like that, because I do use these reels for moving baits and slow moving baits like the finesse tactics and when you’re using it for a variety of applications.
I actually prefer the slower gear ratio reel, because whenever I’m fishing with this rod, it is probably because the bite is tough and me using a slower gear ratio reel means that I’m picking up less line. It means that my bait is moving slower and my bait is likely looking a lot more natural in the water. So that’s my theory. That’s what I think when it comes to spinning reels I would recommend the five point two to one or like a 6 to 1 gear ratio reel not that fast of a spinning reel I’m, just not into the high gear ratio, spinning reels yet, but that might change in the future and I’ll.
Let you guys know if my opinion does change on it, but right now, I’m gonna, stick with these five point, two to 1 gear ratio, spinning reels and then as far as bait casters go I will continue to use 7, 1 and 8 1 to gear ratio reels for for the slower moving baits. Okay. That was a mouthful anyway. So the durability of this reel, it’s held up just perfectly I, would say for the past two years. It does have some scuffs on it, where I’ve kind of tossed it around quite a bit.
I, don’t know if you guys can see that or not, but there’s some scuffs on it. Your reels are gonna, get scuffs on them and there’s especially something right here yeah. So this reel is scuffed up. It’s been used, reels are tools, they’re, not toys, so I treat them like tools. I do take care of them. How I can but again, I do just toss them around a lot in the boat and stuff like that, when I’m trying to catch fish- and this thing is held up well, haven’t we loaded up or anything like that? I have taken it apart, a couple times just to clean it, but besides that I mean, if you just try to take care of this reel to the best of your ability and the best of my ability isn’t very high.
But if you do that, then you’re gonna get good use out of this reel. It’s gonna last you a long time. This reel remains smooth both of these that I’ve owned for two years now or one for two years and one for like a year and a half. Both of these reels are really smooth. The ball bearings are not corroded at all in either of them and I’m so impressed by that I’ve dumped these things in the water so many times, I take these out wading and in the kayak. Whenever I go do that all the time these things are constantly in the water and I’m surprised they haven’t rusted, yet I always try to put them in a dry place after I get done.
Fishing I think that flooger has made a durable product when it comes to this reel, so they’re really smooth they’re durable and they also cast really well I. Just have a light, little jerk bait on here now and this thing just flies. It really does it’s just a great reel? It really is. It really is haha anyway. So the last thing I want to say, which is a con of the reel, and one of my complaints for Pflueger is I’ve. Had three flu girls, these two and also another one- that’s called the trowel on which it I think is a lower tiered reel that I can review.
If you guys want to see a video on that, then let me know down in the comment section below this is my complaint, the little screw that goes or the little cap that goes on the side opposite to where your real handle is likes to fall off. I’ve had that happen on this particular reel, the other one it’s the cap still on it, thankfully, but then it also happened on that little trial on reel I have as well that’s just something that happens with these Pflueger reels. I’ve made sure they’re tight, because I knew it was an issue before I even got these reels, but somehow I managed to lose the cap on one of them anyway.
I made sure that they were cinched down all the way as tight as I could get them without stripping them or anything like that, and they just fall off. That’s a problem with them, even though that cap is falling off I’ve used this anyway. This is like my live bait rod, so I’m, not too picky about its looks, and everything and I don’t like how I can get dirt in there, because that caps, not there. Eventually that will just mess up the reel more. But who cares at this point? I’ve had it for two years, I’ve got good use out of it and it continues to work well and I’ll just keep using it until it breaks on me.
So if you guys liked this video- and you want to check out the Pflueger president reel like I said, there will be a link to it down in the description below if you click that linking buy this reel. It helps me just a little bit, but it’s not like I’m sponsored by flooger or anything anyway. I’ve done way too much talking in this video but as always go take someone fishing that’ll. Do it.
Today I want to do a gear review of the fluger president. Spinning reel never done a gear review before, but I know a lot of you guys are watching my videos, they’re fishing, the same gear, that I am the same areas that I am- and I know fluger is a popular brand, and this is by far their most popular rod and reel combo gonna, be an excellent way to bring you guys, some new content and some more diverse content.
So, let’s get into it now I like this reel a lot. I like it so much that I actually have two of them. I have the 35 and I have the 25. Now I started out with 25, and eventually I got myself. A 35 35 is about perfect for bass fishing. With this reel. They did something really smart, where they made all of them. Just a five two one gear ratio- nice, slow gear ratio, is good for most people to pull those senkos.
Those live baits things like that. Some good action, this reel looks good too. It’s got the gold bale with some steel blue type powder coating on the outside. Now this is a 10 bearing system very smooth, real action. Nice handle the body is graphite. The handle is aluminum oversized comfort type handle. This will take a 10 pound line at 125 yards it’ll take 14 pounds of braid at 160 yards.
I like this because it’s got the anti-reverse on or off in case. You need to use that this has a 25 3 inch, retrieve rate, which means every single time you reel that handle around it’s gonna pull 25 3 inches of line this reel is just felt perfect for a beginner or a bank angler, but I wouldn’t shy away from it as uh intermediate or advanced now, when you first get the reel, it’s more than likely going to come on a blank like this now fluger is pretty smart, where they offer a lot of different variations.
This one is a six foot, six inch medium action. This looks up the six to twelve pound line. It’s the flue gear president rod. It’s got a nice core candle on it uh it’s kind of thicker me myself. I like a thinner handle, but this comes in so many different variations. All the way up to a seven foot, medium heavy graphite rod with all the different variations, there’s really something to suit.
Almost every angler out there and another thing that I really like is: it’s got the aluminum uh just brushed eyelets, where even some of the saint croises stuff they have the painted or powder coated ones and that wears off, and then it just doesn’t look good. If you pay attention to detail in your stuff, the rod seat isn’t too bad.
I think that’s got to be steel or aluminum right there, and then it just kind of seats in to their basic, like that part of the seat is integrated into the handle. So you just screw the whole handle down like this and you’re ready to go. It’s pretty comfortable handle, like I said it’s nice and thick um. If you like that, I personally prefer a thinner one but um.
You know if you like a thicker handle. This is gonna, be great for you. This is uh what I would consider an excellent all-around reel, but also a really good bass reel with the 35 and the 521 gear ratio. Um. I’ve had 15 pound braid on this, and you know I could still cast it out a mile, really nice rod and reel overall looks good too graphite rod with all the different variations.
There’s really something to suit.

This is going to be great for you. This is uh what I would consider an excellent all-around reel, but also a really good bass reel with the 35 and the 521 gear ratio. Um I’ve had 15 pound braid on this, and you know I could still cast it out a mile, really nice rod and reel overall looks good too. So the reel itself in all the variations goes for 59 99.
The rod and reel combo is going to go for 84. 99 no line comes on it, so you’re gonna have to plan to buy line two. This is fluger’s um intermediate line here, it’s not their lowest end or you know like a monarch or something, but it’s not like a supreme either. A lot of people use these reels. Let’s say the president by far is the most popular reel that fluger sells and probably one of the most popular reels, at least in minnesota or wisconsin.
A lot of retailers will carry these your gander outdoors, your fleet farms, your camping worlds, your dick’s sporting goods, dun hams. They all should have a president in stock when you go in there. Fluger’s done really well with these over the years. Um complaints with it, I would say that a lot of times the line can get twisted, especially if you’re throwing one of those weightless senkos uh.
Your lines can get twisted down here through here. You gotta watch it and it always seems to happen at the wrong time when you got that big bass on there. Other than that, I really have no complaints about it. I would put this on a you know: 140 saint croix rod or I would keep the ones they come with they’re, really excellent rods.
In the beginning of the season, I caught a lot of big bass on these rods. I really like this reel. I think that you guys will like it too. If this is your first reel, definitely great if you have some experience with spinning rails and you’re, just looking for a great one. If this is your price point, then I would definitely grab it.
It’s worth every penny of the 84 99 that you’ll pay for a combo like this. So thanks for watching, I hope you guys enjoyed my first gear review I’ll have more to come. Hope, you’ll, stop by watch. My other videos, thanks for stopping gopro stuff recording so the reel itself in all the variations, goes for 59 99. The rod and reel combo is going to go for 84.
99 no line comes on it, so you’re gonna have to plan to buy line two.

Outdoors here hope you enjoyed today’s video. If you do throw me a thumbs up, maybe hit the subscribe button. Leave me a comment. Good or bad I. Don’t care! You can also go check out. Some of my other videos. I have posted and I hope you see. Stay tuned and I will see you soon. What’s going on fishing friends, this is Steve with badger outdoors today, I wanted to do a little review on a spinning.
Reel I picked up a while back, and that is the Luger president XT spinning reel I also own a the original president reel, which I’ve had for about five years now and it’s been an absolute workhorse. I’d beat the crud up and caught hundreds of fish on it and it still still performs the way it should I mean it doesn’t perform as good as it did out the box when I bought it, but it’s it still performs pretty flawlessly for the age and the wear on it.
So I was looking to maybe upgrade a little bit and I saw the the president has an XT model and when I picked it up and I’ve been pretty happy with it. It has a few upgrades from the original president reel, which is I. Guess if you can call an update, it’s got the cork handle on it, which I’m not a huge fan of I like the foam a little bit better, but this one’s held up pretty well, it’s not getting grocery thing.
I’ve had some of them get real little black and touch them too much and stuff like that, and it also has the carbon fiber real handle on it. Instead of the aluminum, like the original president, real does it’s a 10 bearing system which is pretty nice pretty high for a spinning reel, so it’s nice and smooth, it has a six two to one ratio, which is about average for Spain trail I mean don’t really need too much more than that.
It’s got the reverse on it, which I like it’s a nice feature to have I believe, and it comes in five models. It’s it starts with the the 20 X, which is like an ultra light, spinning wheel and all the way up to a 40 X, which this is a 35. So there’s one a little bit larger than this, and then it just goes down from there to the 25 X – 30 X, +, 35, X, +, 40 X, so I I mean I thought this was a pretty decent size for for bass.
Fishing I didn’t want to go too big. With a the 40 I mean it gets a little a little bit bigger and a little bit more bulkier, so I I could actually maybe went with the 30 but 35. This is the same. I got in my president reel as well and I like the size. It’s pretty decent. This one actually seems a little bit smaller than the 35 in the president, but I’m not sure I mean it’s got a line.
Capacity of 10 pound mono 155 yards or 14 pound braid at 160 yards. So this one retails at $79 99, which is $20 more than the original president and I, know Pflueger, isn’t really a brand that really markets itself too much they’re a old company and they don’t really get out there and promote that much I mean, but they do make a very reliable product.
I believe I know they make some. The patriarch I think it’s the patriotic XT, which is like retails at like 250, or something like that, which is a little crazy. For me, I mean the weekend: bass, fishermen paying 250 for reals a little little much I. Think when you can get by with you know a $60 president reel or I mean if you want to get a little bit more fancy and what you can spend a little bit more I mean 20 bucks, more gets yeah, the president, XT and I think they got a supreme.
Then I goes to Supreme, X T and then the patriarch and patriotic XT, which is 254 the the patriarch XT. They also make baitcaster real, to which I have a few of which I think are pretty nice. Also I’m, still kind of breaking those in and um I haven’t any issues with them. Yet so, but I mean I’ve owned, Pflueger products for four years now and I like him, a lot they’re real, reliable and therefore the price point, they’re they’re, pretty good, buy pretty good deal I.
Have it paired up with kind of sure you went, throwing it on its a 7-foot, medium, heavy Abu, Garcia or Abu Garcia, the vendetta, rod which I like I. Like so far. One of the main reasons I won’t lie that I bought this rod was it matches with the Pflueger reel. It’s got that red and black on it, and the reels also got the red and black with the silver body.
So it matches up real well. So that’s one of the main reasons: I did do some research on it and did get decent reviews and I liked it so far. I use it for a lot of wacky rig and Texas rig type applications, and it’s done a good job but yeah but yeah. It also has that nice color matching color to it. So that’s a plus too, but I just kind of wanted to show you guys and kind of explain a little bit about the flooger president xt reel and so far I’m pretty happy customer with it and I would I would definitely recommend it.
Maybe start out with the president first and see how you like that I mean you need to look online. It’s pretty good reviews on every website. Eagle go on, and this one does too there’s always gonna, be those those people that have have have to find something wrong and everything they got and there’s there’s bad reviews too, but not too many of them to tell you the truth and there’s always gonna be that person.
That’s gotta, be gotta, be negative about something you can never make happy, but uh I enjoy it um. It’s been, it’s been doing a good job. It’s fun catching me fish, which is the main point and it hasn’t gonna be any issues which is also good, so I hope you enjoyed the review and I’ll be coming out with, hopefully some more videos soon.
Maybe a couple more reviews, and maybe some comparisons and yeah so I- hope to see you there and stay tuned and I will hopefully see you soon.
Hello guys fishing for fun 30 through here today, I’m going to be making use of lighting that I. Have you want to take a look? That’s really quick! Look at that got some lamps I think it’ll work pretty well shut, it pretty good, but yeah. So, let’s get start so today, I am going to be giving you guys a review on the P figure.
President fishing reel, as you see here, I do own a couple of these I, don’t – and the great great reels. Hopefully this is a good good review to stage but yeah I think these reels are really actually pretty great reels, especially for what you pay now. These weasels reels are going to retail around $60 00 a standard.
Wherever you go, you know Amazon Dick’s, Sporting, warehouse, Cabela’s, Bass, Pro anywhere you go really. These reels are going to run you around $60, 00, so I think it’s a very, very high, valued price. You know I mean if you run in here, you could buy yourself. You know a rod like this by yourself: Cabela’s tourney, trail item 7 about $70 Rob and that P flooger reel, and then you would be set, not a good value.
That’s right! Really what I think these real are value high performance reels, which brings me to my next topic. You know this reel in my opinion, is the best reel under $100, but that’s just my opinion. So almost get start with the specs. As you see here, they come in quite a few different sizes. They come in the 20 size of 25 size and the 30 size 35, and the 40 now I actually have the 35 and the 40 that’s great, because you need a lot of species of fish with this one $60 reel.
So that is great, so um they do have ten ball bearings, that’s very good for $60 reel a lot of reels. Do not have ten ball bearings, especially nowadays, trying to cut prices, but this real really will have that ten ball bearings! That’s great! Now, um other thing I want to know about these reels. They’re very, very durable I.
Have this one right here: I’ve had this reel for almost a year now that’s 40 and no durability issues I mean I’ve, taken it steelhead fishing and you know it’s been in the mud. It’s you’ve been in the water a little bit just I can’t avoid that as part of steelhead fishing, and it’s still greatly performs. That’s all I’m going to say: I really don’t have anything negative to say about these reels.
That’s for this one I’m going to use it for bass. It’s long enough, but and I have not. You know really run into any durability things, but this really put it through its paces. I think you’re not going to really have much more hardship to go through with the real than that, but um yeah, ten ball bearings very durable I mean that’s really all you need to know.
As you see, rubberized handles very great. Another rebel Erised handle p Pflueger, always great reels. Another thing I forgot to mention there one way instant anti reversed. You can back reel, so I mean it’s always great. Not always there with a $60 reel. You’re gonna have features about 150 to $200 reel in this small bracket package, so anyways guys I definitely suggest you pick up this reel $60 go wherever you like, Cabela’s I, like bells a lot, and you should be happy.
Thank you guys for watching, see you next video.
Real review, and today we’re gonna be talking about the Pflueger president spinning reel now I’ve owned this reel for a well over two years now so I’m gonna give you a full review on. You know, what’s up with this reel, how it performs, how it’s been over the past two years that I’ve had this reel and just run over the specs one more time with it and then give my honest opinion. So, let’s get to it so this reel retails for about 50 bucks, it’s definitely a fair price for the quality you get out of the reel great beginner reel beginner up to expert.
You know whatever your budget is for reels, but this reel definitely stands above all, the other reels in that price range. No doubt when I initially picked up this reel, I was looking for something smooth, something that wouldn’t break the bank and something I felt. That would last me a good while, when I picked, this up I noticed that the reel was pretty lightweight for being only fifty bucks. It weighs in at eight point eight ounces and I noticed that this reel was buttery, smooth right when I picked it up, and it still is to this day after two years.
This reel is built with an advanced ten bearing system and ensures smooth performance cast after cast. This reel has an encased graphite body and it features a stainless steel and oil felt drag that provides consistent, drag pressure and increased corrosion resistance. It comes with an aluminum bail. It’s got the really soft and grippy knob here, along with the aluminum handle that goes to the body of the reel. Now, when I first got this reel, I was younger and I was. This was before my bait casting day.
I would throw everything on spinning reel, so this reel has taken a lot of abuse from heavy lures I think the heaviest War I threw on this was a three-quarter ounce jig when I had braids on this and a 130 size block were floppers. This reel has caught over 300 fish easily in the past two years, and I am seriously impressed with how this thing performed and still performs to this day. This is the 30 size, I like to use usually six to eight pound line, and it holds about 145 yards of 6 and 130 yards of 8 pound line.
To this day, this reel is still like I said before it’s very smooth, very sleek, looking I took good care of it. The bail is still super smooth on it clicks into place. Cast it out, clicks back down very smooth, real, no wobble on it at all. The only thing I really have to complain about what this real and it’s not even that bad. The drag sort of wore out a little bit on me, obviously I’ve, been using it for well over two years caught plenty of fish on it through lures that I, probably shouldn’t have been on it, and when I used to get lures snagged and I had heavy braids on it.
I would just pull and pull and pull, and you know I’d be peel and drag I’d crank it all the way up and still be peeling, and that really just wore down the gears, and this I’m a Shimano guy and I I got into higher-end reels. At this point, like I, like the strata canned everything and that’s a completely different class from these type of reels, but if you’re, if you’re looking for a good price range reel 50 to 100 dollars, I wouldn’t even spend the extra 50 bucks for $100 reel.
This thing will perform like any $100 reel. Will so, overall, my honest opinion is: you should definitely consider buying this reel if you’re in that price range 50 to 100 dollars, I hope you guys enjoyed and learned a bit from the short review. If you have any comments, leave them in the comment section below and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Alright, guys peace.
Cuz I’m freezing out here, but we just got back and picked up our Yeti ice fishing shack. You know what that means. We are going to do some ice fishing it’ll probably be a week or two, but I’m gonna get those videos off for you guys and so hope you guys enjoy those videos. I’m gonna, stop wasting guys time. Let’s go review. The reel look guys so, as you guys saw, I will be going ice fishing very, very soon, and so I’ll get some ice cream videos out for guys, but till then I’ll be doing a shout outs video.
So if you have not checked that video go check it out now, the shout outs from last video will be in from two sensitive will be in Friday’s video. So if you want to be on that comment on Tuesdays video, and so today’s video I have a very special one, I have never done in these kinds of videos, so I’m hoping it’ll, look right, I, don’t know how they just give me really cringey.
Who knows, but I am going to review the Fleur president ultralight. It is the new 2017 version. New colors and everything, and so uh this is a brand new I just took it out of the box. My brother actually got a first Christmas present, so it’s actually not mine, but I’m gonna make the video anyway, and so the best thing I like about this. It is only 50 dollars.
It’s cheap is effective, he’ll catch fish on it, and so it is per 20, is braid 200 yards for four pounds hundred 40 yards for six pounds and 110 yards for eight pounds. If you want to use mono 220 yards for two pounds, 110 yards for four pounds and 90 is for six pounds, so I usually use two pound tests for trout, then I will use these kind of small ultra light out of pflueger’s for trout.
I have eight different kinds so that yeah I have a lot, and so I’ll put my childhood you in right now. Oh yes, first cast right there, nice, trout, oh-ho- that is just nice first Castro, okay, so that was the video of me using one of these reels. It is a very smooth, real, very effective. Then that was two pound test on for trouble, so you can use this thing. If you want use four pound test for panfish and stuff I mean I, don’t know when you’re done.
Can you need four pound test for panfish, but you never know, and so you can all see you six pound test or six pound braid or eight pound braid. If you want to go for some big pass or pike and stuff and still have enough line that you can actually use this thing effectively, this is the new version of it. The 2017 version I’ll put the old version in right now, alright guys.
So that is the old version. This is the new looks a lot better version. It makes it look a lot better, a lot smoother it I, really like it a lot better, and so it has a. What is the thing is 7 5, that’s how much it weighs in its max drag is 8 pounds and each time you turn this thing. One time that is twenty two point, four inches of line going out, and so its gear ratios five to two to one, and it has ten ball bearings in this thing.
So you’re gonna have a lot of a smooth reeling smooth casting the only problem with these things, with all reels is, do not get them sandy. If you get sand in it, I will ruin the reel and so try your hardest. Not to get this thing sandy, and you should have a great a lot of time with this. So if you’re willing to spend $200 and go buy a nice really, you go do that.
But if you don’t have $200 and you want still an amazing, very nice, effective reel- you should go with this and if you only want to buy $30 reel, you can do that too. I mean I, really don’t care to come out whatever you really want. But if you are willing to spend $50- and you want to get a good reel go with this- it is the best for the price most effective reel that you’re ever gonna get for $50.
Alright guys! So don’t keep you guys, can smash that like button. For me, it does mean a lot to me so hope you guys loved this video peace out.
Backward you are with another unboxing. This time is the Pflueger president size, 20 I think this is the 2017 model. Yes, you can see comes in hi, I’m Shelly package, there’s something like that. Couldn’t even give me a box, then again it’s 50 bucks, but my dial crossfire at $23 came with a box, so I don’t expect a whole lot out of this.
Yet so we’ll see what happens when I open this up, so no I had the older model before this and I am very impressed with that model. It lasted me about three years, which is not bad for a forty dollar wheel, but this one is a fifty dollar real. So drag sound. Okay, but you know I think it’s good for a fifty dollar over now the bail here pretty good size, it’s two-piece bail, it looks like almost like a die, wasn’t designed.
Then this thing here has what six pound dragged. It weighs six point two hours and twenty eight point, two inch per turn. Gary shows five point two to one line capacity for our braid. It is a 125 at six pound and if you use mono, it’s 200 yards at two pounds, it is brave, ready, plastic, don’t know how long that’s gonna last I saw it to them.
You see, I can feel how good this reel is already compared to that last review. I did with their crush lose cross. This is a lot better. Real screwin handle I think this is um pflueger’s bread-and-butter here to make a lot of sales at the user. That’s a lot of people like them. They had a good price, really impressed with this real here.
It’s not you know it’s smooth, I’m, not crazy, smooth but like a refined smooth. Surprisingly, at this price point, that’s a good quality there. So far, I have not found any defects. Yet it’s got a graphite body. Stainless steel drag aluminum handle see what the flexes like that. Oh, yes, flex, there, actually, no there’s no flex. Barely it’s barely flexed, they’re very good, so far see what’s going on here.
No cuts, no scream well I, like it wow I, didn’t think. I was gonna like this, but pretty impressed with this right now. That’s $50 I, don’t see any flaws, I’m, looking really hard and I don’t see any flaws in her. Okay, the handles a bit hard, the little paddle from the door here, not very comfortable, but it feels smooth it’s slippery.
So that’s just nitpicking. It’s gonna pop soon out of the box, I’m gonna give this guy at 8 5. You know for the prices at $50 and because it didn’t come with a box. It came with this clamshell. It’s a half a point deduction there I don’t want nobody got him in line or something impress her just real comfort. A tiny seal do extremely balanced, see how long it’ll turn not very long.
It’s smooth, though I really like to live around her, so 8 5 is the score. I gave it. So let me know what you guys think. Alright, let’s see what this guy’s way. This says: 6 2, ounces after 20, sighs, so see it’s true the size for those of you who don’t live in America. It’s 176 gram, besides 6 2 ounces, Wow. If you like this kind of video, please subscribe and check out my other videos, unboxing and reviews of other reels and giver.
So alright, guys fish foot out.
What’s happening, folks, welcome back to the test. Lake tonight is gorgeous man. That’s like what 76 77 degrees, welcome, no wind, it’s beautiful night in Kansas, City and tonight we’re gonna review the president hold on yeah the Pflueger president yeah yeah corny joke. So we got a Mary Kay sea bass, guys the flu, your presidents available in a number of different configurations, I have the baitcasting version, Tom’s getting real yeah a little bit about these Pflueger has been around forever it.
Well. Actually, it says right here on the box since 1881 is how long pflueger’s been around I, don’t know specifically about the president model, but wanted to give you guys some of the stats on at least the baitcasting version here, let’s see, first up gear ratio, seven point three: two one easily the fastest reel that I own at this point, I think my next closest is six point.
Six one, let’s see inches per turn. I thought was an interesting stats, 31 inches per turn on the bait caster. So every turn of the handle results in 31 inches of line coming in yeah I didn’t know that I thought that was really impressive. Max drag. One of you asked about max, drag I, think on the black max video I didn’t know.
That was a thing, so it shows how much I know this one is twelve pounds. It says so, for what that’s worth to you max drag is twelve pounds and then they’ve got your line. Capacity and stuff like that. So anyway, a couple of the things: seven bearing system, graphite frame and side plate magnetic braking system and aluminum handles.
So that’s the the president baitcaster. What do you have for stats on the? Nor is there I got five point two to one which is still pretty darn good, at least in my opinion, Tony bearings. Does that say all right? Oh ten, ten Barry Wow all right got that going, so we don’t have any. We don’t have any lures to try out tonight or anything like that.
Nothing, nothing, fancy we’re gonna fish with the president and see if we can get anything in the boat with it of Lugar’s. Depe pflueger’s so initial impressions on the president, I love it. It’s extremely smooth casting very little effort and the thing just sales really really fast retrieve like so we’re pressed for time tonight.
So we’re doing I’m doing a lot of power. Fishing I’m, just throwing a crankbait, but yeah. This thing is super impressive. I really really dig it. That’s my real choice. Two years ago my uncle got me turned on to the flooger and honestly ad. Unless something better comes along out. Think I’m gonna be changing anytime soon, yeah this thing’s super impressive.
It’s not a bluegill! That is a bass, then put this on record as the smallest bass ever caught at this scorecard time on the poof lugar category, one price: is it priced well in comparison to other products of similar nature and purpose, so I got mine off of Amazon, because that was really the only place I could find it readily available.
I got it for 50, 399 I think that’s actually a pretty reasonable price for a solid bait caster for a smooth, as this thing is, and first quick as the retrieve is yeah I’m. Actually, gonna go with a 5 out of 5 on the price, so line. There’s a couple different sizes that comes in the smaller ones you get for $49 99, at least at Dick’s, Sporting Goods.
The one I got here is a slightly bigger version. I think I got that one for 59 99, so I mean as far as its durability and everything I mean. For me, it’s worth the money as far as compared to other products and similar nature. It’s that’s alright I mean that’s not the perfect score from me on that one.
But I’m gonna go with the four on that. Okay, next up is a function. Did it perform the way that was supposed to perform? So in all of our real reviews, it’s usually been a question of. Can you throw a lure out, and can you retrieve that lure without much issue? Yes, you absolutely can with with the p”f lugar.
So so you absolutely can the I don’t really have any issues. The only thing that that I can even remotely think of is. You can hear a little bit of the bearing noise in the bait caster, but it’s not it’s not so bad that you’re you’re worried that’s gonna break or anything like that. So, but for me, I’m gonna call that excellent, so I’m gonna go with a 5 again: oh yeah I’ll go with the 5 on that one too.
It may be slightly noisy, I guess on the the bait caster, but on the spinning reel here. It’s a well oiled machine out here anything out of it. So yeah like I, said: I love this product. It’s a it’s a 5 out of 5. For me, next up is a usability. How easy is the product to use? This is where I I can’t give a perfect score because of a caster is unless you’ve used a bait caster before I mean this one’s a user-friendly bait.
Caster! Don’t get me wrong, you’re not going to get backlash every other caster! Anything like that, but assuming you dial it in correctly, but you do have to dial it in correctly for the way that you cast and that’s it’s a lot to do with preference. But for me, I am gonna, call it above average because the settings are very responsive.
So when you turn it all that when you turn the dial up to ten, you can tell that it’s at a ten, but it doesn’t inhibit your ability to cast a distance and that anytime I’m throwing a new real I, always crank it to ten and just see how far I can go with it before I trim it back down a little bit, but I am gonna, go to the floor on it’s usability, because the baitcaster by nature does need to be dialed in usability.
For the spinning is really easy. It’s a it’s I guess account nature of the beast as well in this one, but no I mean for all intensive purposes it’s about as easy as it comes. So all right, next up is durability. Did it hold up during the test? So I mentioned this, that you can hear some of the bearing noise on the baitcaster, but I don’t know if that has as much to do with the reel itself as it did with the settings that I had it on.
You know, like I, said: I crank it all the way down any time, I’m throwing a reel that I’m not familiar with so but yeah I mean it’s durability. It held up just fine I didn’t have any issues with backlash, which really kind of surprised me for a real I’ve never thrown before so. I am gonna, go another five on its durability because it did hold up through the night.
I’m sure you know properly, taken care of its gonna hold up for years to come. Definitely five out of five for me on this one here as well short term and long term. It is a great product and I’ve used this in all kinds of weather, I’ve used it even in snow I’ve, taken with the flora to use it in salt water.
As long as you wash it off, I mean this thing will last forever and this one here that I’ve been using this thing. I wear you can see on the camera here, but this is at least five years old and honestly, for all intents and purposes it looks like it’s brand-new, so short term and long term. It is a very durable product, so, like I said for the price of $59 99, it’s a it’s a well worth the investment.
Absolutely last but not least, is category five, its effectiveness that it produced the expected result. So once again, the expected result in any time we do. A real review is to be able to cast and retrieve a lure, maybe catch finish, that’s a bonus, but we did both tonight. So for me, its effectiveness absolutely gets 5 out of 5 I, don’t know that I’ve ever thrown unless, as I hate to say it I.
Even my rivo um I, don’t know that I’ve ever thrown a smoother or faster retrieve on real. So, yes, excellent product puff Luger, you guys knocked it out of the park, so this is yeah. It really is a good one for me for sure Oh easy, five out of five I mean as far as everything goes, like you said, have blown us tonight.
Cuz we didn’t catch some fish, they weren’t granted the biggest fast but I’m thinking blame down the real, oh yeah, but no like I, said: I love this product and until like I said something else comes out. That’s better than this I will don’t think I’ll change anytime soon, absolutely so guys. What we do from here is we take our two scores: add them together and take the average of that each of us are able to award as many as 25 possible points for the product that that we’ve tested I’m, giving away 20 Forks tonight.
What about um 24 all right? Well, then, the official KC bass, guys score, is 24 out of 25 on the per Pflueger president, so Pflueger excellent job. This is an excellent reel for sure you may have changed my mind. I may have to add a few more pflueger’s to my to my lineup yeah excellent product, guys.

Doesn’t break the bank when you’re trying to find a spinning reel for a drop shot technique or shaky head or any other finesse bait type technique, stay tuned, Shawn, rugged outdoors and today we’re gonna be talking about the Pflueger president xt spinning reel comes in an under 80 bucks, it’s seventy nine, ninety, five retail, which is unbelievable, considering the quality of the reel you’re gonna get so when this spinning reel here a couple of the things that are important about it.
First thing: you notice: is this nice rubber cork handle well what this does is it’s when it gets wet, it’s still, gonna get a little bit of tackiness, so their hands are not gonna slip off the reel a handle. You also get this carbon fiber shaft here which helps with the lightness of the reel. Overall, it has it’s a 10 bearing system which makes it extremely smooth when you’re reeling it in this particular reel that I’m looking at is a size, 30 spool.
It comes in five different sizes, anywhere from a size, 20 school, the smallest all the way up to a size, 40 being the largest. You can see some statistics here that we’ve got that talks about how much line, particularly as it relates to braid that you can use to put on this, because one of the great things about this reel also is that it comes with the braid ready spool. This brain ready, spool is really slick because a lot of times you get reels that you try to put braids on and it slips well.
This has got grooves in here. That makes it pretty easy to tie that braid right on here, and it’s also got these little rubber pieces here that keeps that braid from spinning as you’re trying to spool this up and I highly recommend if you’re using a drop-shot shaky head or some other finesse type technique, don’t use fluorocarbon on your spinning reel really seriously take a look at using braid to do that.
As your main line on here, this 30 size spool will take about 160 yards of a 10-pound braid, and then you use a fluorocarbon leader. One of the big reasons for that is, if you spool this up with just fluorocarbon when you open that bale fluorocarbon is just so limp, it just kind of falls off and you get a mess everywhere. You spend more time screwing with the line than you do actually fishing.
The other things about this real. It’s super light. I think this one weighs like seven point: six ounces, or something like that. This particular spool size comes in at a six point, two to one ratio which retrieves about 31 32 inches of line at a time which, again when you’re drop-shotting one of the nice things about that is, if I’m drop shotting and that fish is down there in the in the brush.
I want to be able, try to get him up and out of that brush as soon as he bites as quickly as I can and a faster retrieve rate helps you do that. The other great thing is this: sucker is only 80 bucks, 7995 I’ve looked at reels that are two hundred dollars. Two hundred and thirty and I can’t justify why overall build quality. Last year, I picked up. One a size, 20 spool, use it all year, long very minimal, wear anywhere on the reel, continue to work and continue to function great.
It has a sealed bearing system, so it stays nice and smooth consistently. If you’re looking for a great sprinting reel, that’s not gonna break the bank and do its job definitely take a look at the Pflueger president xt.

Hey all welcome to another episode of fishing with Vance calm in one of our review, videos which we are very excited to do there, especially this time of year and possibly any work. Unfortunately, we can’t get a lot of fishing in. So what are we gonna? Do the next best thing we’re gonna talk about fishing and everything that comes along with it.
So what we’re gonna do today is we’re gonna go down and we are gonna review the Pflueger president reel and the different series that come along with it, some of the specs. You know what we like, what we don’t like and then give you an honest review at the end. We really appreciate you guys, watching and taking the time if you guys are familiar with these have experienced.
Please make sure that you leave us a comment hit that, like button hit that subscribe button, if you guys haven’t already a lot of the info that we’re gonna have on this, the specs, the model numbers, the series etc, etcetera Vance will provide down in the information section below on the video. So please make sure they check that out with some direct links for you to these products.
So these are the Pflueger president reels that we have going on here. Today we have a few in a different series, I like to call them by the basic numbers we have the 20. We have the 30, we have the 35 and then we also have the 40 believe if I’m not mistaken, there’s an in-between here that we don’t have it’s a 25 series we’ll check on that and if that’s not right, we’ll get you up to date, but these are the basic ones here.
For the flooger president, a tremendous line very popular line, people really love. This I know Vance was the first one to really get us. As a group turned on to this particular real line. He had found these to be recommended whenever he was on a trip down south. He was in a fishing store. Guy said: hey for the bang for your buck.
This is a reel that you want to get. He got. One I was a little skeptical. I had never really heard of them. I never used. One knew the name a little bit and I was about it, but I tell you what now about a year year and half later of using all these different ones in various fishing applications. These reels literally are for real.
So, as I said, we got the twenty series, which is basically gonna, be more of your ultra light series. We got this one paired with a st Croix ultra light, very lightweight, very dependable. You can cast literally a country mile with this guy, even though it has a very small bail, good drag system. All these are gonna, have the front drag system very smooth, retrieve overall and not a lot of issues with them.
To be perfectly honest with you, we’ve really really loved these this, for an ultra light setup very hard to beat, in my opinion, very balanced, very lightweight again, can cast ability to fight and really be able to get the job done. The next one, then the 30, hopefully, as you guys have seen in our other videos. We really love these Fenwick rods, 6, foot, 6 and excuse me: 6 foot, 6, inches pair that up with a 30 and then also the 35, which just gives a little bit more beef and a little bit more muscle, really love these I know Vance as a fan of the 30.
This makes a great all-around rod right here paired with this Fenwick. You can do just about anything that you want to do with this largemouth smallmouth and the river. This is a great application for we’ve even done a little bit of cat fishing with this, but overall the balance, the ratio, the retrieval the ability to be able to cast with this again for this particular setup, for especially for a finesse bass, set up really really hard to be.
In our opinion, great set up there. I know we love that we’re gonna continue to use that the 35 is basically just a big brother. Obviously a little bit beefier a little bit more going on. It has a little bit more weight to it. So you’re probably gonna need something in that 6 foot 6 rod to be able to really balance this guy.
Accordingly, as you can see, I was a little bit of the bigger bale. It’s gonna be able to hold more line for you, which is great the other real benefit of that, though, with that bigger bail, this thing you can catch the Canada from here I mean no lie. You put something on there that crank bait right. There doesn’t have a lot of weight to it seriously.
I could put that thing in Youngstown right now. If I wanted to very very impressed with that, this has, with the weight again you’re gonna need that six foot- six, maybe even a seven foot- rod to really balance that out with the correct power ratio, that’s something they’re all applications right there, largemouth smallmouth, pan fish, obviously went get into something a little bit bigger, walleye catfish things like that.
You could definitely do that with that. That front drag very easy to access turn that right on a dime. The handles, as you can see- and the grips here are all pretty similar- very easy. Very ergonomically very easy use in hand to hold really love that setup right there. That’s a great Bassett, the next guy I call him the mini tarpon Vance got this I said man look at the size of that thing.
It’s like a little ocean liner. He has this paired with his Abu Garcia rod. That is a six foot, six, a little bit bigger. Obviously this is the big brother to the 35, so you got a little bit more weight. There really balances well with this particular rod, which we’ll go over in another video on Abu Garcia, but a little bit bigger of a bale there.
This thing Vance can put that in cast anything and once pretty much put on the moon. I know that he loves us. He can’t talk enough about it. A little bit of a bigger handle going on very smooth overall, with the retrieval we haven’t, had really any issues with these to speak of, can hold a ton of line, whether it’s gonna be mono or whether it’s gonna be floral or braid, which we’ve used all three of those this past summer, and hopefully you guys have seen those in the video but really love this setup here this he gets after it, especially with a little bit bigger fish, catfish and carp.
He loves using this and getting that fight on with those particular big fish. He uses this a lot for fishing with bass and a little bit of bigger applications or what we would call bigger applications. Some of the bigger crank baits, maybe some of the heavier jigs half ounce which to us are big. He really loves that has had some great success.
Hopefully you guys have seen that in the videos before he’s a huge fan of this so right here, it’s a really great setup for him. Balance is really well overall, with that particular setup and I think it would really balance great, even with a 7 foot. Rod as well I really love that setup for bass and a little bit of a bigger fish.
So overall, then just a quick recap: what do we really like? Overall, very smooth? You can catch that thing in country mile, not a lot of maintenance. We haven’t really done a lot with these guys maintenance wise this year. They pretty much have taken care of themselves. They’ve been banged around in the back of the truck you know, thrown into pole holders things like that they’ve got wet on the heat, etc.
Probably the last thing that we really like about it and I know a lot of other guys like about it is the price point that the Luger president line has, and it’s probably really known for so again, depending on the series you’re looking at anywhere from about 39 to 59 dollars. So we say forty to sixty dollar range, depending on which one that you’re gonna get for everything that you get with that particular reel at that sixty dollar price point to me, almost impossible would be for what you again.
You talk about bang for your buck, whatever analogy that, you want to use they’re, really really tough to beat I know. A lot of guys will enjoy that you’re not gonna break the bank. These things are gonna last forever for you as well, and you’re gonna get a really high performance out of that, especially for your casual everyday angler things like that, a couple of the things that maybe could be improved or that we saw some opportunities with the handles, do come loose and again, that’s from wear and tear come a little bit more loose than what we would say compared to with.
Like my Shimano strata kiff, you guys hopefully saw that review, but overall for the money that you’re paying again versus that price point for the strata I’m. Ok, with that it wasn’t a constant issue, it wasn’t something we had to fight, but they did come loose a few times on the different series and on the different models throughout the course of the year really other than that.
I can’t really find a lot of stuff to nitpick up or say hey. We definitely didn’t like about this particular real series. Overall, great price point, very fluid very smooth can cast a country model. We had a ton of fun with this summer, so very very hard to be my opinion and if we’re gonna look at our new high life rating scale, which we’re using now here efficient, advanced calm, we’re gonna, read everything out of a possible five highlights: I’m, really hard-pressed not to give it a five to be all perfectly honest with you, but with a little issues with a handle, which again is very my new we’re gonna give it a four point.
Five highlights out of five highlights. You know I, think that’s more than fair, great real again for the price point, a lot of different anglers from various backgrounds- and you know, different applications can use this guy I know we’re gonna keep on using these. We have another three or four that we learn higher rods for yet so I would definitely make sure, especially during the holiday season.
Various retailers are running specials on the flu presidents and you can get one. That’s even gonna be below that. Sixty dollar price point you’re getting yourself a heck of a deal, so that’s our flooger president review. Hopefully you guys have found this. You know helpful informational and that you’re gonna be able to use this.
Let us know what you think if you have experience with it, good, bad, ugly, etc. I’ll leave that down in the comments below I, know, Vance and the rest of us always try and get back to you hit that like button hit subscribe, we hope everybody has a great holiday season for Merry Christmas. Thanks for watching fishing with Vance, calm.
Right welcome to another episode of my show in town, just wanna. Let you guys know that I recently purchased this lugar spinning reel it’s a president X T! This is the model SP 20, so it’s the smallest version of the president I believe it’s real. Why do I buy this one? Well, I wanted to use this one to fish for smaller, smaller fish, such as a bluegill crappie, even travel sometime I. Take this will to go on a stream fishing and so it’ll be a lot easier and a lot lighter features for the reel.
Okay, here is a picture of the real, the color as well. It has a second bearing system as a luminaire main shaft. It’s bright, ready school, so that mean I could just put a braided line on this. It has a steel, drag a carbon handle and rubber cord, and here are some of the additional features of it. So this wheel, because of the smaller size of it, it’s able to handle a six pound, drive the weight of the reel it’s about 5 6 pounds.
So it’s very light. The turn is about twenty point. Seven inches per turn. Get ratio is five point two to one. If you look at the mind capacity here, braiding capacity, if I put up my power capacity on a braid I could get about 180 yards on it, but maybe I think I’m gonna put a monel line on this reel, so I will be getting about a hundred yard on this reel, but the mono light so just take a look inside of it. Okay here nicely packaged here.
This is the so here is explore, let’s full view of the Real Talk, the nesting of other parts. So this is the list of the different parts right here: okay and this paper talks about filling spools with the lines and setting the drags yeah sort of stuff, and yes, the to Packers. This is the handle. The rubber core is quite big, looks feels very nice. This looks like a carbon fiber, but I think it’s aluminum, alloy, okay, so there’s still real I love the color in this red and black and silver see this.
You can listen to the sound of the jack system. That’s nice, okay, so smooth, there’s very light as well, so there’s a hyper handle on if you used to the Shimano and da and all of our other wheel. Normally this will come off as well, but for the looper does not stays it’s not right here to stay put, so all you have to do it just put it in your handle and crank it. The way you will train your reel. Okay, just turn it counterclockwise and when you get it a little snug make sure you don’t tighten it too tight.
If you do that, it’s gonna, it might be too tight, and it might not be that smooth. Okay, now I haven’t my tools now, I might just pull it back a little bit. That’s better! Okay, the handle looks way bigger and taller than the rail Hey. That looks incredible. Looks great I like it so, like I, said, I’m going to put a four pound mono lines on this I usually use a preferred P lines. I’m gonna pair this with my lose American Hero, stick I think the color will match it perfectly and I’m gonna use this to you know fish for travel, pretty much blue gills, probably maybe even bass.
Who knows you never know. I know, I call a lot of pass with this small size reel I had before you know. As long as the fish bite, I’m gonna put it to good use. I will let you know more updates on this. Who sounds nice but yep. This is the real okay. Is the spinning wheel or I really just bought, remember I said I was gonna, buy the food, the pizza 9xt yeah. So what this work thanks for watching you.
Spinning reel, but you’re not exactly sure which one to get well. Today we have five flooger spinning reels here that we are going to discuss, and this should help you decide which one you should get hey guys how’s it going. This is alex with fishing MN, and today we have a video discussing five different pflueger’s spinning reels here today. We’re going to discuss from the low end to I would consider it a bit be about mid end of fishing reels here.
Kind of discuss. Each characteristic of each reel will start to see kind of an increase in quality, as we go through the reels here and will kind of help, pin point you in the right direction to what really you should go for for your next fishing reel today, alright guys so the first real that we have here. This is the Pflueger Tryon real. Now this is actually size, 24 Pflugerville, so it’s actually a little smaller I actually use this quite often for my ice fishing rigs.
But to go over this real here, we’re actually going to discuss the characteristics of the size 30 reel, which is probably the most common size per se of spinning reels, and so the 20 would obviously be used for smaller poles or ice fishing. But in this case we’ll be going over these reels discussing the size, 30 characteristics, but the size 30 reel. The Tryon is gonna, offer a nice seven ball bearing real system.
It’s gonna have a gear ratio of 5 2 on one and it’s gonna be kind of your lower end fishing reel. Now. The size 30 here weighs in at ten point four ounces. So it’s it’s the heaviest reel out of the bunch that we’re gonna go over here today. But what this does offer is a graphite body and rotor, as well as an aluminum spool and as well as a stainless steel, an oil felt tray, which is probably the only one out of the bunch that has that.
For the most part, these reels can be found for about thirty to forty dollars, depending on the size that you get and realistically, where I would point a person into the direction of getting the Tryon is, if you say, for example, you’re starting to fish any by a rod and reel combo, so it might be a cheaper run, reel combo, maybe say forty or fifty dollars but say that reel happens to break on you and you don’t want to spend a lot of money on replacing the reel yeah.
But you want something of your quality. The Tryon is probably perfect for that scenario, so the persons that want to basically replace the reel that they have on their cheaper combos or if they are just kind of moderate fisherman, so they might go every once in a while to fish. That’s where this real really come into play I feel that overall, the build quality of this reel is good as well as it’s taken care of.
You should get quite a few years out of this reel. Let’s go on to the next one here and we’ll this. Thus, the upgraded features that the next reel offers alright guys. So this is the Pflueger president real it’s actually a lot bigger than the real I had before I think it’s either at 30 or 35. But for this real here this is going to be kind of the next step up from the Triad real, where this is really going to add.
Some benefits is that it’s going to be lighter and it’s going to have more ball bearings as well as a couple additional features. So this particular president real offers a ten ball bearing system and the size. 30 real comes in at eight point three ounces, which is a little bit more than two ounces lighter than the Triad real. So it’s a lighter real in general, but this also offers a graphite body and rotor.
What’s really cool about this one, and this is where this kind of starts singles up with the other reels, but it actually offers a braid ready, spool, and so you can actually tie braids right to the school itself, which is very convenient, especially nowadays, where a lot of people are getting a wave from a monofilament and going to braid or a fluorocarbon.
So that’s a really cool feature. This also has a seal Drake system. So it’s a little bit different than the Drake system on the trial reel. But overall it is, it is a pretty good reel. This has a gear ratio of 5 2 out of one as well, and it also is kind of in that lower end range for fishermen. Now these reels can be found at about fifty to sixty bucks, obviously depending on where you get them and what size, but where I would suggest this reel to go to if you’re in the market.
For is say, you want a simple upgrade to a basic grill that you have on your rider go combo. This would be the first reel to look at. This is a very, very, very common rail with the flooger wheels. I would actually say it’s probably the most sold real, because it is very easy to find- and it’s really not that much when comparing the reels so I would say, if you’re in the market, to do a simple upgrade for your reel.
This would be in the first place, to start alright guys so this next reel here. This is kind of where we start getting into the subtle upgrades as we go up. This is actually a femur president xt reel. So this is actually the step above yet the normal president reel and what you’re gonna have that’s very similar to the president. Reel is you’re also going to have a nice ten ball, bearing system as well as you’re, going to have the braid ready spool.
But what this will also have here. That is a little different is it does have an aluminum main shaft and aluminum pinion gear in this reel as well. This reel at a size, thirty is going to be weighing at 7 6 ounces. So it’s not quite an ounce lighter than the president reel, but pretty significant over this really care does offer a faster gear ratio with realing.
This is now a six point. Two out of one, so every reader would go over, will have that gear ratio as of now, but this reel can be found, give or take for around seventy to eighty dollars, so you’re going to be paying about $20 more than the basic president reel as well as the knob on this one is a different one. It’s kind of got a little bit of a corpse feel to it as well as the shaft.
Here is different too, and that’s probably what makes it a little bit lighter, but really where I would suggest this reel to go to if you’re in the market is simply, if you’re going to start to make or basically buy your own rod and your own rails to separate a lot of people will do that, so that they can kind of pinpoint how they want their stuff, but usually when people do that they usually are not going to cheap out on things, and this is where I would start if you’re gonna be buying things separate, because for eighty dollars you’re going to get a heck of a real.
This is a fantastic reel for $80. So that’s who I would suggest is when you’re starting to get into building your own rod reel combos separately, alright guys so now we’re going to get into the next model up. This is the Pflueger supreme reel this reel. Naturally, to me just looks awesome. The gold and the silver just kind of blend very well with this reel but again you’re gonna, have the same features as the two before, with the the braid ready, spool and you’re gonna see the same feature as the one before it with the 6 2 out of 1 gear ratio for real, but what the sign is 30 reel.
This will come in at a weight of seven point: five ounces. So it’s really not that much different in weight when comparing it to the president xt model. Now this is going to downgrade to nine ball bearings. So this is gonna, have a nine ball bearing system, but this is where we’re gonna start seeing corrosion resistant, stainless ball bearings as well as a magnesium body and rotor, and so that’s going to offer a little bit of a lighter system.
Pflueger will use the term feather light, but it’s gonna be a letter and quality-wise. It’s gonna be a little bit better than what you had with the president models again Bray Grady spool. This also has an aluminum handle. So this is a little bit different than the president xt model as well as they went back to its kind of normal rubber type. You know holder there, but overall these reels here can probably be found for about 90 to 100 dollars, so you’re gonna start getting into the triple digit price range when it comes to these reels, but you’re gonna really notice the quality difference when you get to this high range.
So with this type of reel here, where I would really suggest this reel tube is basically again to those people who are gonna, build their own rod and reel combos, but basically just better than an XT model in general, it’s going to be lighter and I feel that this is going to last. You a lot longer, alright guys. So this brings us down to our last model here.
This is the supreme XT model. This in general is a pretty cool-looking reel. It’s got that orange spool to it here and it’s you might not pick it up in the camera 12, but it’s kind of a really really dark blue body to it pretty neat-looking reel. But this again is gonna. Have some subtle upgrades from the supreme that we saw before so the size 30 version of this reel is going to come in at 7 point 1 ounces, sort of shaving about 0 4 ounces off of the previous reeled model, as well as we’re also going to increase the ball bearings to 10 on this reel.
So you’re going to have your 10 ball bearings in this room from there. You also have the corrosion resistant stainless steel ball, bearings its feather-light design, as they college as well as you have the brain radial, and this also has a sealed carbon drag and a nice carbon handle which, according to Pflueger, is 21% lighter than aluminum. So you do shave a little bit of weight that way.
This reel, in my opinion, is probably right in that mid range of reels. This reel is really going to be dedicated towards those who are going to be fishing on a weekly basis, because this is going to be handled. The more weekly phase type fishing- it’s going to be able to last longer, as well as just in general, be a better reel for you in the long run, but these rails here can be found for about 140 to 150 dollars, and so these are definitely not on the cheap side of things, and so, if you, in my opinion, if you’re not an avid fisherman, this is overkill for you.
This is definitely for ones that are going to be fishing more on a consistent basis and be able to handle a reel in the long run. So if you are one that kind of puts maintenance of rails to the side, this is probably not for you. This is very nice reel to start if you are really trying to get into that mid to high end stuff. This is where you want to go.
Thank you again for watching this video. Today we went from kind of a Lauren Luger model to their mid-range Luger models. Now I will say this. There is a few that are in between these models that definitely don’t leave out when you’re trying to search for a model. I simply don’t have them or and I don’t own them, but I can tell you this. These 5 models here can usually be found at just about any type of sporting goods store.
That is just you know, a specific towards fishing. So around my area, you might be able to find most of these at like a Scheels, a Cabela’s, maybe in other areas like a bass pro shops you’ll be able to find these models throughout those stores. So, thanks for watching guys, I hope, I helped you figure out which model you should get and go out fishing and have some good time like and subscribe guys see you later.
