Always love your content 1Rod and glad to see you back on the water! About 18 months ago my father and fishing partner of 25+ years was diagnosed with a very serious type of blood cancer. His treatment took about 6 weeks in the hospital with quite the recovery time afterwards. Just prior to him going in I bought him an Antares and made him promise to take me fishing again when he was feeling better and in recovery. Today I'm blessed to say he is in remission, we just took 3rd in a local team tournament, and his sentiments about the Antares were the same as yours: "perfection", I couldn't agree more! I know its just a reel, but seeing him on the water again makes it feel like a little bit more.

I’m so so so glad that your father survived my grandfather died of single cell leukemia and died a week later. That was in March. Granted he was guaranteed to die and didn’t want to delay the inevitable so he didn’t have any treatment. I’m so happy someone survived that horrible disease and I hope your dad lives a long and prosperous life.

You do an excellent job of informing us as to the qualities both these rods and reels. I'm an old guy and fished all my life but very seldom with baitcasters. Mostly with Spinning reels and when younger with spin cast reels. I only have one large casting/trolling reel that is not real castable and am looking for something a bait caster smaller then my present on but capable for up to lake stripers. Watching this video from a year ago I can see that you could feel the Magic so to speak from your new Reel! As a fisherman, I was excited for you, with you fishing your lake and catching a couple nice bass. I have viewed several of your video's in an effort to find my way to the Reel I am looking for. Right now I do feel inclined to purchase a Shimano reel more so than any other brand and so far I am liking the DC option. Cost is an option so I'm considering a used one Ideally, I need a reel with a bit more drag than many bass reels offer. Unfortunately, the amount of drag doesn't seem to be mentioned in most reviews and on ebay adds for Reels from Japan.
