Good to know - hadn’t heard that before

I've been able to use both reels and am very impressed with the 13 Fishing SLD2. What I don't know about it is how long will it hold up compared to the SLX, as I think the SLX is a solid reel that can last a long time. From a comfort/feel standpoint, they're both really good. I will say the slide thumb control on the SLD2 is pretty cool!

@@bass_scribe yo man I really appreciate your super fast reply! That's rad and thank you I'll definitely take that into consideration as I'm about to make a decision today. The fact shimano is shimano definitely has that going for it and is def in the list of pros for the slx, as I've never used anything from 13 yet. I am from FL though and would be happy to support an FL company so idk we shall see haha. I'll lyk what I end up picking after i do it and also subbed, thanks again !

@@alilo-da9153 yeah for sure lmk - don’t think you’ll be disappointed with either 👍

I think the Terminator brand is gone and everything jig/spinnerbait is now under VMC. These spinnerbaits should have the Redline hooks in them - not sure if they have titanium wires or not.

Definitely great rods 👍

Nice! Can’t wait to try one myself 👍

😆

Oldies classics are hard to replace 👍

Suspended fish are tricky for sure - I’m learning each time I’m out on the water 👍

Yes it does - I understand Shimano could eliminate the whine but it gives the impression of the brake working.

@@bass_scribeomg im getting it

Sounds like a good idea! 👍

Hope it helps!

@@bass_scribe Well shoot, I still couldn't see my drop shot. I don't know what is going on with my system. Could it possibly be a transducer or transducer mounting problem maybe?

@@35Salty Possibly - try turning the sensitivity up to see if that helps. Of course make sure your 'ducer is pointed straight down.

My understanding was they are milled in Austin, TX, but that may not be true 🤷‍♂️

​@@bass_scribeThey're milled in China, but CNC is CNC. Designed in the USA, but CNC'ed in China.

Ok good clarification - much appreciated!

they screw them self pricing it so high while Shimano and daiwa are on top of the game. not a bad looking reel but it does look plastic and that ugly knob don't match shit!

The lightest I’ve thrown has been 1/4 oz soft plastics, 1.0 square bills and 2 hook jerkbaits. Rod action helps with all that, of course - it’s extremely smooth and lightweight.

It’s a great reel but also a little pricey at $499

I can imagine! Would love to learn to fly!

Yes you’ll absolutely love it, no doubt 👍

Yessir very nice reel 👍

I'm sorry but it's just ok reel I have one and it's not as good as my Daiwa s or my concept a2's and most of my reels are 4 to 7 years old and work better but I will use it the spinning reel look a abu garcia a little bit have a wonderful day

@josephdavison1979 appreciate the feedback 👍

And the Hammer Trap shimmies on the pause 👍

Glad it was helpful!

I got my squarebill unhooked from the brush. When I can't reach it with the rod tip, that little trick in the video sure works well. If there's one thing I have a lot of practice doing, it's getting my lure unhooked 😀

@@bass_scribe I thought that's what happened

I haven’t used the Goat too much either. Agree that time will tell compared to Shimano/Daiwa, but so far I’m liking their products 👍

@@bass_scribe if it performs as good as it looks, it will be a winner

Only good reels made by Shimano is the Calcutta and daiwa sucks

@@KaemonColburn I really like the Curado as an everyday reel and the Metanium is pretty sweet if money is no object. Honestly never fished a lot of Daiwa so don't really have a strong opinion either way.

@@KaemonColburn you must hate all reels! 😆

Hard to argue with the success of the original!

@@bass_scribe True! I like the higher pitch sound of the original…

Glad it was helpful!

Yeah that’s interesting. I do think groups of bass get wise to certain baits after a we are caught. Good feedback 👍

Very true!

Yep it's an incredible tool!

First off I don’t think believe that FFS is used only in open water

@@bass_scribehow did you do it before live scope

@@Ronie792 My approach to catching offhsore bass in the past is to just graph over bottom oriented fish and drop a waypoint or buoy on them. To your point earlier, FFS is a huge asset for this style of fishing, as well - I spent a lot of time trying to learn how to catch the suspended bass, so kinda going back to my roots in '24.

@@Ronie792agree 💯

Thx so much for that! That's the exact niche I hoped to find - when I'm looking how to fix a lawnmower, I always choose the shorter video 😀

For sure - glad you liked it! It's a killer tactic when the water is cold. Appreciate the feedback!👍

Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍

You bet!
