Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.
River fishing for smallies is my favorite. Less people out there fishing the river systems near me. Rivers are always changing so much too. They love the ned rig. The adventures walking the banks of the river is an added bonus.
I love this channel because it shows the real struggles in fishing. It also shows how exiting and fun it is when you actually catch one. Every other fishing video I see people are just pulling fish out of the water every cast. Keep up the good work
My favorite MD Angler to watch! Shout out from AAC,MD! Keep up the great content Mike! This is my first year freshwater fishing, coming from saltwater, i have learned a lot from you man! Thank you!
I freaking love your videos man. You almost always are fishing from the bank, catching tons of fish. Not having a boat myself, I love watching someone that's not on a boat in every video. Keep doing what you're doing, we all love it.
I feel you are the reason the googans blew up. Honestly, that’s how got into googan vids and baits. Love 1Rod though, still my number 1. You need to come up with your own line rods and reels.
Why are you so much more entertaining than any other youtube fisherman? I anticipate the release of your next video and it's always a banger, you never disappoint
Rock on Rod, I love a good river adventure. It really tests your mind, body, equipment and dangling abilities. I fish the Great Miami River in southwestern Ohio, an it’s tough.💪👍😎
What a beautiful smallmouth!! Love that your uploading again man keep up the great work!!! Btw I love that antares dc monster drive! That's a sick reel!!!
I fish out right there fairly frequently. It's a hard grind unless it's the shad run. Most people out there are fishing for catfish, with heavy sinker rigs, sometimes handlining. That's what he snagged in the video. So many people just leave their lines, out there
Hey man I just wanted to say that you’re one of the truest you tubers out there. Every one of your videos I watch to the very end because it’s just such a natural experience. Keep making these awesome videos man. Hopefully one day if you’re running around Kansas we can meet up and do some fishing. There’s always a good spot around here.
Hey man I’ve been super depressed and your videos are legit the only things that put a smile on my face and love them :) hope you see this man love you
Mike you should do a sucker fishing video because millions are running right now in the creeks! It would be such a fun video to watch because some good super big and they fight like crazy
If you look on my channel you can see that Sucker species such as Redhorse, white sucker, carp, quillback, and buffalo are all loaded in the creeks right now. It’s the only time of year they do.
Jerkbaits are my favorite lures to fish as well. Next time you go fishing at that river try the original 4in flukes. You'd catch 50+ smallies a day no problem. Its crazy how much difference it can make even though they're both jerkbaits the soft just slays the river smallies but it's hard to catch more than a few on hard plastic baits.
I grew up fishing that area,I've caught some nice ones but its tough fishing,Lots of lost lures.It used to produce more back in the day.Gets alot of fishing pressure I guess.I believe bass fishing is better further down the River or further up.I used to catch 3 to 4lb largemouth there but no more.It used to be good perch and crappie fishing in the spring also.Times change.
If anyone is curios The wholes at 6:08 is made from the water when it rises the whirlpools in the water are so fast they create a vortex that drills holes like that in the rocks... crazyy
Love it there brother I have seen people drown there in pop up at the boat house very dangerous part of the river but you can catch anything there striped bass small mouth large mouth cat fish everything my dad in I catch 72 striped bass one night there in a hole 5ft in front of us not 1 was under 27 in also the pockets of trapped water that was behind you in this video have big large mouth in them just be careful of snakes great video brings back good time for me thank you stay safe stay strong GOD BLESS
We need to see you come down to the new river, or the gauley river in West Virginia. Awesome smallmouth rivers and almost the same as that one yet fishable

Always enjoy watching!!! Can’t wait for more always giving a thumbs up. Also leaning something as well.
3 bangers so far in the week? Are we dreaming? Anyways keep up the great content man 👊 🔥
Got A LOT more coming up 😎

1rod you are the best TH-cam ever when I watched you during quarantine you inspired me to get out and fish after online school your the best man
I love how much 1rod is uploading, keep up the good work!!!!
Really good to see you back.
1rod, I learned a lot about fishing from your vids! Thanks man!
Gosh it's crazy how much I missed the sound of that reel zinging out there... That is such a neat sound!
Finally caught a big bass yesterday! My old pb was like 2.5-3 pounder but I caught a 5 pounder last morning!
Mike: I’m not gonna be doing much running today
Also mike: *runs a mile up the river for a better spot* 😂
Feel free to swing by south east Idaho for the steelhead season, you could catch some massive fish.
Y’all got guts! Epic smallmouth though - it was totally worth
Hey man I’ve been super depressed and your videos are legit the only things that put a smile on my face and love them :) hope you see this man love you
Always digging your grind on them banks and that smallie looked amazing!! Much respect from the west coast 🔨👊🏼🌊

I’ve been watching you for so long mike. Love your videos
I’ve been watching ur videos for a while and I still love your content to this day. Keep it up 👍
hey mike love the viedos glad to see you back
Hey mike love the vids keep it up ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Crayfish and helgies are the bait for the Potomac smallie...7.6 is my PB up at Swains back in the 80’s

River fishing like that is always amazing.
You’re such a good guy 1rod... u deserve 50 million subs!

Beautiful river. Good analogy of the spot your fishing.
The Grind is hard, but the Payoff is awesome
you know it's a good day when 1rod uploads😂
Finally! The bass vid I’ve been waiting for!!!!
would that fancy gopro chest mount work on a hero 4? or only the newer ones?
Works on older gopros too! I just like it Bc I feel it gives more support and less camera movement
Nice Video Mike! What kind of Shimano DC Reel were you using!!!
When you stop fishing for awhile... you get skunked for awhile... glad your back
So glad your back dawg
Great job. Never give up.
If anyone is curios The wholes at 6:08 is made from the water when it rises the whirlpools in the water are so fast they create a vortex that drills holes like that in the rocks... crazyy
Time for a great video
That was an incredible smallmouth! Congratulations! Also, you have some mad rock stepping skills.
I’ve always loved how he says get in the boat when he’s on the bank 😂
Awesome video brotha!

One rod back fishing for small mouth, u love to see it, wicked stuff man
I think you forgot about goal number one at 0:30. Lol great quality video
Good stuff 1Rod , would love to meet you one day but I live in the mountains towards big bear lol .
Best youtuber in the game. Tight lines. 💪
Dude I love this spot. Just watch the loose rocks cause even some of those boulders can roll when you step on em.
Nice Smallies!! haha Great vid!
Netting the smallie after beaching it on the hot rocks... Epic... LOL
Love your vids man keep up the amazing content. You are an inspiration
I always get exited to watch your videos because they make my day! 🎣
Mike those holes were made for dynamite holes to break rocks apart.
That size Smallmouth Bass is what we would consider a really good size Australian Bass especially out of a river.
Me: Super bored
Notifications: 1Rod posted
Me: Lets gooooo
I've never related to someone more then when he said "this is quite treacherous for the average person but for me it's a playground"
Nice cut! Also witch googan rod do you use?
That was a beautiful smallie!
When I heard what he said at 8:22 I came straight to the comments 😂, please keep the good content coming bud
The patients paid off! Gotta stay persistent 💪
I'm in MD but the potomac is a huge river where I am, where are you on the potomac?
We need to see you come down to the new river, or the gauley river in West Virginia. Awesome smallmouth rivers and almost the same as that one yet fishable
1rod if I your at a new body water with bass in it what is your go to first bait you throw?
Yeah buddy, uploading like beast, this is great!!!!!!!!
Absolutely worth fishing again. Guarantee you start hitting that spot you'll be on quality bass and more of them.
Fun fact just below those rapids is completely calm. You would likely be fine. Falling in at this point is hardly dangerous compared to upriver
10:37 1Rod aces the boat flip then proceeded to net the fish on land. Lol
