Hook, Line, and Sinker thanks a lot bro! I really appreciate it!

The Texas Road Runner thank you!

ecksdog I like having instant control over my drag when handling big fish. Also it’s just a personal preference tbh a star drag would work fine I do use them of course but I’ve been fishing for tog with a lever drag for so long it’s just the most natural to me. The last thing you want is a drag failure on a double digit tog! The Trinidad is a much smoother reel than this one in my opinion but you get a lot more drag with the accurate so it’s kind of a pick your poison type of deal.

eli madr yeah unfortunately that’s the downside to braid. I usually wet pack it which I should probably make a video on. But basically you wanna spool the braid on wet and under heavy tension, this will make less air pockets and prevent digging. I usually use barrel swivels to leader, but the “FG” knot is the line to leader knot I prefer and recommend for any situation! The tiny diameter of the knot helps it go through the guides smoother. Check it out! And tight lines.

The digging in usually only happens to me after I pull and break a snag which I really should use a wood dowel for pulling free.

Jason Bourne I noticed you commented on two of my lever drag videos. Not a single lever drag reel in the world will lock by turning the handle. It’s physically impossible. That’s only a thing with a star drag reel

as long as you don't tell the wife fuck it why not lol its a nice reel

Randy T I don’t use avets. But if you were gunna dona perfect multi species saltwater rod I’d do an avet mxj or regular sx on a jogging world black demon

I recently bought a tern and I haven’t really gotten a whole lot of time to use it. It casts similarly to the valiant, like shit lol you gotta keep your thumb on the spoil basically the entire time but I did huck weightless eels with it and got some bass they’re pretty close in performance I feel like it’s more of a preference. If you like lever drags you’ll probably like the valiant more visa versa.

Cool man thanks for the info I guess I’ll just invest on accurate Boss Valiant 2 400 ! Stay safe. Tight Line

Bobby Monroy lemme know what you think of it. Thanks brother and tight lines!

anonymous anonymous to be honest i don’t know off the top of my head you’ll have to do some math. Look up the OD of the braid you’re buying vs the OD of whatever’s on the specs for the reel

anonymous anonymous and just for clarification the “OD” means outer diameter. So like the thickness of the braid. Every braided line is different

@@Fishin203 Let's say I use powerpro 65lb? How many yards do you think I can get?

anonymous anonymous a guess? Less than 120 yards

@@Fishin203 Thanks

Benjamin Lim very good quality I’ve had em for goin on 3 seasons and only a couple small scratches from me throwin em in the back of my truck without care

Fishin203 alright thanks man for the info man!

Abed itani unfortunately as of right now you can’t get the 300 in a 2 speed.

P/ZO 316MIDWEST yes I have I thrown weightless eels with this quite a bit and it’s not easy. It can be done but the free spool is very loose so you basically need to keep some type of thumb pressure on the spool at all times or it will immediately backlash. But after a few minutes I got it dialed pretty well but there’s other large low profile baitcasters out there that are designed for casting that will do a much better job. This is a jigging reel and I’ll keep it in its lane lol one I can recommend is the 13 fishing A3 or actually the Okuma Komodo is real nice too for about half the price but a stainless steel gear so you get great power and integrity

Well I have few 6500s and few Penn's and even many cheaper reels. Tho these jiggin reels are so nice lookin very high drag and appear smaller then ur Penn's and Abu Garcia 7000s. So been looking into them jus beautiful lookin reel the design.

Thanks for advice guess I'll keep looking into the akios reels. No level wind for long casting. Figure since the jiggin reels didn't have level wind that maybe wud be gud at casting

yeah this is an older video my brother

Ben H nooooooooooo. These are like Ferrari’s for striper fishing lol. I would never take a high quality reel and torture test in on giant grouper. Theoretically yes you probably could but I would never do it it’s a small reel in comparison to the larger tackle used for Goliaths

@@Fishin203 Will the 500 or 600 hold up well on 50-150 lbs fish

@@Fishin203 Thanks for the response

Ben H remember I’m not sponsored by any company in the world. I made these videos by a fisherman for a fisherman. So I can say whatever I want about these reels. So yeah I could use a pos avet single drag on a 500 pound shark and probably get it to the boat but that’s not what these reels are made for. If I were you and you’re lookin for a big fish reel I would go with a much larger reel so you’re not killing the poor thing. I love the car analogy because it’s so perfectly fitting. It’s like having a Honda vs a Ferrari they both can’t go off roading and serve the same purpose, one is just a lot more comfortable and enjoyable to drive. You can fuck these reels up if you beat on em.

Ben H and thank you for commenting I love talking to my viewers

No I don’t think so unfortunately but I have seen them so they must have been like prototypes or something.

Anthony Sanchez haven’t used the talica so I won’t make assumptions on its performance.

kobi11 depends. Are you more comfortable with a lever drag or a star drag

I’m more comfortable with starsrag because I’ve used it more but I also like level drag reels

kobi11 shimano Trinidad’s are the most comfortable star drags I’ve ever used and accurates are the most comfortable levers

perry dubbzz of course!

i want i want soon lol i use a stella 4000 right now need a conventional

ty bro i fish ur way often all the way to montauk i want the 400 will prob grab both

Let's the line out

Kim Jong Un more specifically a good smooth and long spinning free spool will make longer smoother casts

Fishin203 thx bro, just bought my new avet! Your channel is sick and I love your reviews, subd!!!

I’d go with the 4 or 5 narrow

@@Fishin203 tanks buddy!! Cheers!

That’s sick! And I have not a clue lol probably online would be the best bet

Chae Rim same reel. Depends on your preference. If you don’t mind a little heavier weight in your hand get the 400.

I love shimano too.

Hook, Line, and Sinker sure thing! Thank you!
