You have to have the most relaxing videos on KZfaq... I could fall asleep to all those birdsounds! You talking about fishing is just extra gravy on the biscuits! 😁

Always enjoy the very nice colors of those bluegills and the bank greeneries filling in. Not to mention rod and reel break down. Thanks Victor!

I fished my bellezza ux and 23 legalis tonight. Caught some big bulls the night before the May full moon on the bg1 and larvaZ. I agree the harder the cast that the distance isn’t as impressive. I love the bend of the rod. I shaped some Eva foam to fill those hollows in the handle and that fixed the discomfort for me. It was an excellent suggestion. You had a great day!

Beautiful BG's! That rod looks amazing paired with the Vanquish. Hopefully it'll be back in stock again

nice matching setup at the start. love the 23 vanquish on rods like that they just sit nicely

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

yeah, thats a 150$ rod but deserves a vanquish. Looks and feel perfect with it!

@octavianpal6384 Ай бұрын

Nice rod! It is something special about Olympic rods, that unique feeling of a well made sophisticated rod, i think i will buy this model too. Many thanks for reviews like this. All the best

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

They do have a specific feel. Maybe because they make their own boanks..

Really liked this video. That's the exact rod I'm getting for fathers day. Nice to see a video of you using it. But it will be paired with a Regal or Legalis reel. Maybe one day I will see you around Nick or Chick to say hello and thanks for the vids in person

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

2023 Legalis would be just fine. The old ones are a big heavy. This rod well deserves a Vanquish, so do your best with the reel

@chubbychernobyl445 Ай бұрын

@@ifishcatfish would love a vanquish but too much atm. I could go up to probably 140-150ish on reel. Anything in that price range thats a big upgrade over legalis?

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

No. Next reel up is the Shimano Complex XR, which is matching colors and much lighter than Legalis. Probably about 200$ right now

@jordanwalter2447 Ай бұрын

I know I sent you a couple pics of the of the ozark trail baby swimmer, I fished it 3 days and caught 150+ crappie bluegill and bass, I decided i preferred it full length instead of shortening bc it had better action and still got as many bites and hook ups. I need to try the charlie brewer and the other ones you mentioned. Thanks for sharing , i will be taking an inventory soon and making an order 💪

Another great video,, thank you,, as a recent subscriber, I'm working on your back catalogue, 😊,, this is a great follow up to the video on how to set up your drag, 👌,, (perfect example,,) don't know if you've done a video about them, but what's your opinion on barbless hooks,? All the very best from across the pond,, 👍🐟

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

I think its an overreaction from old people who have those big barbs in their minds seared. Try my jigs with micro barb, and tell me whats the point of removing the micro barb? None.

@user-so4fg3pl3v Ай бұрын

Ok Victor I went to the web site for that rod , whats the diff. between super and extra ultra light action . Your advice is always spot on for me .

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

Super and Extra Ultralight is POWER. Not Action. Action is Fast and Medium, and the more Medium, the better, because it means more parabolic. But lets say Ultralight rod casts best 1.5 gram jigs. Super Ultralight rod casts best 1.0 gram jigs and Extra Ultralight rod casts best 0.75 gram jigs. Get it?

@BobSmith-zh6it Ай бұрын

Just starting back into fishing. I have heard you mention using flourocarbon leader. Which one would recommend for 2lb test mono. Using the SOS line. I think I heard you say about 3 foot of leader or is that to much?

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

if u use 2 lb SOS line u don't need very much leader. Just put 2 pounds of clear color fluorocarbon, but something not so fat. SOS line is very fat. The 2 lb SOS line is 0.16mm diameter, and that diameter is usually used for 6 pound japanese line. For float 0.16mm is good, but if u just cast a jig without float, 0.16mm is too much. Find a line with diameter 0.12-0.14 mm and u will cast farther and get more sensitivity. The SOS line is not sensitive either. Its kind of a fishing line for floats..

@PennNative Ай бұрын

@i_fish I just ordered some jig heads off you a few days ago. For years I have been using my stash of 1/32oz matzuo sickle #8 n #6 hooks on small plastics like the trout magnet and brewers and micro creatures. Give me a couple recommendations of USA rods that you guys recommend for your “twitching”? I have been using Diawa presso(6’ 6”), TFO trout/panfish(6’), and st croix avid(6’). Want a dedicated long casting rod for twitching. As I fish from the bank only. Bluegill and crappie. Thanks

Any one have a good oil or something to put in the bag with plastic baits to keep them fresh and not stick together . Thanks for yet another great video .

its best to keep baits in original packaging. Or check my videos where i glue my baits and put them in the fly box. in the fly box they never touch each other

I bought some line roller bearings for my 23 Legalis and theres a noticeable noise when reeling line in now. The sound is similar to your last fish on the Presso/Legalis. Is the expected or do I need to open the line roller back up and reinstall?

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

high speed bearings do have a little noise. but its not really bad...its bearing noise. Ceramic bearings always have noise. You can open them and instead of oil, you can dip them in grease, but the grease adds resistance. This bearing spins at extremely high speeds because it is so tiny but every 3 seconds 30 feet of line has to go through it, so i just oil them and dont grease them. But u can try that and see if u prefer quieter with more resistance.

Hey Victor, I ordered the exact same reel along with some ester line 2.3 80 meter spool , I know you mentioned before I need a backing, what would you suggest & about how much backing. I think I have some 2lb & 4 lb maximum mono. I just don’t know how much backing to put? Thank you sir !

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

I honestly dont know. I eyeball it. Thats why i never buy 80 meter spools. The 150 meter spool fits about perfect so.. u figure. Keep in mind your 2 lb mono is mich thicker. It doesnt have to be perfect. Put some backing and then the line and it will be close enough

It is Trout Area rod, just standart good area type rod. Nothink special in Trout Area fishing. Allmost all area type rods is like that.

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

well.. u say that but i have seen a lot of area trout rods and the actions are never like that. Also its crazy that there is virtually no loss in sensitivity for half the price

@12345B Ай бұрын

I saw this rod, i was curious how it was for the price, is it pretty sensitive vibrationally? Bend looks good to me

@ifishcatfish Ай бұрын

its really sensitive. Maybe more so than the St. Croix LEP. Its still not up to par with the $300 crowd from japan, but it has length and tubular tip and comes in SUL power, and its hard to find all 3 of these in a $300 JDM rod

@12345B Ай бұрын

@ifishcatfish you make a good point, I was attracted to the pricetag. My dream rod is the new 2024 banshee, but don't think I can gut that price. Shimano also has their trout one series that came out this year!
