The Antares DC is the Rolex of reels. It's the smoothest reel I have ever had in my hand. I had the 1st gen, I think I bought it in 2012 here in Japan. Loved it. I bought the non-DC 2013 version, just as smooth. Fast forward to 2022 and the technology for casting reels in my opinion, have advanced to the point where Digital control is not so much a factor anymore. Even at the lower end, the reels are more refined and tuned. Now you need to go match that reel with a Shimano Conquest rod, it's only another $760. :)
way to go man I'm in the same boat with you I spend crazy money on reels and rods because I've lived lifted my skill level to the point that I can make use of tackle that's just fast and this expensive don't worry about it enjoy it!!
Every fish feels big on those googan rods, I sold all 5 of my googan rods for that reason and others but I went to dobyns rods now and they are excellent, nice video keep it up
Never exaggerated his catches and also, unlike other videos, the whole video is shot in like one take and not all edited video. Love that!!! "Kickintheirbasstv" catches a "GIANT" EVERY CATCH.
Dang one year later and you can now buy this thing for $560. I'm about to get the Shimano Exsence DC SS from japantackle. Lot of people who own this reel, the scorpion, curado, metanium all prefer the Exsence so i'll take their word on it. Plus it's salt water ready which is always a plus. I'm currently loving my curado DC and soon to receive the 2022 SLX XT DC with the I-DC5. Hell even my SLX XT is pretty dope. I've also purchased a boat load of reels on sale and I'm curious to give my thorough review on affordable vs high end reels. Now a days the tech behind baitcasters is way ahead of what it was 10-20 years ago.
Interesting... the Essence DC SS is probably my last choice of my DC reels (Antares DC MD, new Scorpion DC, Curado 200 DC and 150 DC then Exsence DC in that order for me). As you go up in price the improvement increments grow smaller but for me are worth it. I did buy an SLX DC for a buddy and played with it after spooled up before giving it to him and it is a very nice reel. If price is a consideration the new Scorpion DC and SLX DC (both are similarly priced now) are hard to beat.
I just recently got you recommended to me about a week ago and I’ve got to say you’re def becoming one of my favorite fishing you tubers along with the googans😂
Yea it’s like dude if your hyped on something just brag about it live the moment but dragging it out like it’s 700 yea I know it’s 700 but did you guys know it’s 700 lmao
My name is Cja. Im a reelaholic. Ive been addicted to reels for several years now. Ive been sober for 3 weeks now. And then you just had to go and post this video. I have a feeling I'm about to relaps. 🥶🥶
I have an antares ar 20 years old almost and it's still my workhorse. I can cast my whole spool out with 1/2 Oz. It's still super smooth probally pooled in 30k lbs of fish on it.
That moment when you turned the spool tension all the way down and committed to throwing it had me cringing but laughing at the same time. I almost couldn't watch but after it not creating the biggest back lash in the world I was impressed!
not at your level yet but just got my slx dc and also just ordered the curado dc as well so once spring comes i will be ready, part of this is because watching your addiction has made me a bit addicted as well lol
It’s not a bad addiction but trust me there are way more expensive baitcasters out there. I know cause I have a few of them. Once you get into the JDM market it’s all over from there. The addiction just never ends. Lol. But it’s all it good fun. Keep up the good videos and good luck with the JDM market cause it’s awesome.
Though I hope you put it on a comparable rod by now. Googan rods are good kinda like Dobyns fury rods or 13 fishing or Lews TP1 but put that thing on a Poison Adrena, Dobyns over 200 or Loomis IMX or better , St Croix Avid or better and it’s just a whole new world to get sucked into lol I have some Loomis NRX rods and I use the GLX and IMX more cuz I’m scared to break the NRXs on a tree lol
I tell you what I have the same addiction but mine is definitely within my budget if I had it like that oh man I'd have one too but the highest reels I'm buyin is the pro ti the hyper mag and the scorpion dc 150hg
The Shimano Antares DC isn't the most expensive baitcasting reel in the world.... the Megabass MonoBlock baitcasting reel costs from ~$800 to over $1000, depending on which one you get.
What do you guys think of the new reel?🤙🏻
Question which would be a better reel to get shimano scorpion mgl or shimano curado dc
it’s fire 🔥 🔥
i feel bad for your wallet BUT YEAH I GOT A METANIUM DC AND WELL LETS JUST SAY I ATE MICROWAVED HOT DOGS FOR A WEEK😂😂
ps i subed in your boat tour vid
It’s beautiful 🤩
You just missed the 2021 version, but that is a beast as well. Now go ahead and get the new one, you know you want it.

Let’s go he finally got the DC version
Yessir🤙🏻
Googans has to give this guy a contract , he commits his channels gear to the company , it’s be amazing to see him with the crew

🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Since you've got the Antares and the Antares DC look up the Antares a70 I just bought one it's an amazing little reel!!
I remember when the googan squad was just starting to make that hoodie
Those were the good old days
Prime fishing days right there😂
I might not eat next week but at least I got a new reel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤙🏻
U got screwed man. The New 2021 Anteras DC is coming out next month!!
I saw😂
The New 2021 model has the updated MGL 3 spool with re-map DC chip in it...you should have waited....bummer
I want to know on the scorpion DC reel
if I set the adjustment to W or A and I don't put my thumb on the spool it is impossible to have a blacslash
Every fish feels big on those googan rods, I sold all 5 of my googan rods for that reason and others but I went to dobyns rods now and they are excellent, nice video keep it up

I hate kickingtheirbass. In my opinion not great anglers they edit their videos to make them look like good anglers
@@mattylites8113 i like ktbtv 🙌🏽
To each there own

Thank you I appreciate it🤙🏻
Got four of that reel and yes you py for what you get for. It is worth the money if you have the money. Good Luck.
Let’s all watch this again, but with alcohol, every time he says $700 you take a drink. Bet you can’t make it to the end without puking! 🤣😂
Yea it’s like dude if your hyped on something just brag about it live the moment but dragging it out like it’s 700 yea I know it’s 700 but did you guys know it’s 700 lmao
Waste of money for sure
I don’t even have to drink to wanna puke. He’s trying to act like Jon B. But he has no fucking clue what he’s talking about 😂😂
And the actual price of that reel is 550 USD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm drinking right now watching it. Let's see if I throw up ha!
Thoughts on the dc version vs standard? Which cast's light stuff better?
The regular is supposed to cast lighter stuff better🤙🏻
@@LoganAndersonFishing Thanks, have you tried braid on it or stuck with fluro?

don't forget to charge the caster's battery, normally once a week. Good caster, greetings from CHINA.
🤙🏻
Nice reel but you should've wait till may to get the 2021 version of it.

Buy the new Exsense DC 2022 , it’s made for both bass and saltwater but it’s suppose to be insane
That moment when you turned the spool tension all the way down and committed to throwing it had me cringing but laughing at the same time. I almost couldn't watch but after it not creating the biggest back lash in the world I was impressed!

Nice looking setup Logan 🔥💪 sounds really cool also 👍 Great video buddy 👍

All I can say is that you are not alone. The same addiction for buying reels here…from 40 $ to almost no limit…🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🎣🤗
If you buy the reel from Japan, it is only 450 . 700 $ is only in the u.s
Thats a dope reel
Thanks
Good vid I'm thinking about getting a dc but I wish we could've actually seen just how far it does cast.. yeah the scorpion DC is badass for sure..
Dude such a sick reel
Thanks
Where did you get the reel from??
eBay
sweet looking combo
Thanks
Stay catchin baby bass
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I suffer from the same addiction. I can't get off Shimano DC.
Addiction is REEL!
I want that reel so bad, I have a Antares and a Conquest DC but just can’t spend that money right now. Enjoy sir and congrats.
Thanks🤙🏻
How can I get that googan squad hoodie?
It was sold a while ago Idk if they will sell it again🤙🏻
Bro the sound tho I’m so tempted to buy one
Where did you order from?
What website do you use? I want to get a conquest dc but have no idea where to order them from, it all seems super sketchy to me 😂

It's funny seeing the condition of your jonboat and then watch you fishing with such expensive reel, Priorities Scmpriorities!!! :-)
😂😂🤙🏻
Hey man amazing video idk if you went over this or not but what’s the gear ratio?
Thanks and a 5.6
love your videos
Thanks🤙🏻
I have been waiting for this!!
Yessir🤙🏻🔥
It's good your addiction is fishing not drugs nice reel 700 well spent
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
What do you think of the 5.6:1 gear ratio? Is it good enough for working all kinds of baits?Love your reel, hope you still enjoy it!
5:6 comes with in slow gear categories ,mostly used for crank and swim-baits, 6:4 are widely used for all kinds of baits.
I actually like being able to use a reel that doesn't have too much technology. It keeps my skills sharp.
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
love your vids bro
I HAVE THE ANTARES A AND ITS GOT A HEAVY PRICE TAG TO
Same here lots of money🤙🏻😭
Imagine the boat upgrades you could’ve done 😂🛶
This mans living on my recommended
Ayeeee😂🤙🏻
Haha love the intro sick video fire reel
Thanks🤙🏻
They should have a t shirt saying “ Antares dc owner” Caus it is the most expensive low profile baitcaster
🤙🏻🤙🏻
I tell you what I have the same addiction but mine is definitely within my budget if I had it like that oh man I'd have one too but the highest reels I'm buyin is the pro ti the hyper mag and the scorpion dc 150hg
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Yea man you may have started something with the scorpion dc reel after that I knew I found my reasoning for finding your channel 🤘🤘
Is that the 2021 model?
No!
Go watch Matt Alen and Tim Little’s last buyers guide video and it’ll make u feel better about this purchase. That’s what I do 😂
😂🤙🏻
How much was that reel again?
Too much😂🤙🏻
@@LoganAndersonFishing Never too much if you're having fun with it.
Daiwa steez ct sv is like 889.99 here in Quebec 🥴

I’ve always wanted an expensive reel but don’t have the money yet 😂👊🏻🔥
You’re not missing too much you miss the money after a while😂🤙🏻
😂🤙🏻 fishem hard
love the vids!
Thanks🤙🏻
so when you getting the Antares Dc MD? lol
The sounds tho!
The Shimano Antares DC isn't the most expensive baitcasting reel in the world.... the Megabass MonoBlock baitcasting reel costs from ~$800 to over $1000, depending on which one you get.
It’s the most expensive Shimano dc I think🤙🏻
I’ve been waiting!!
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
In my opinion I would say the Antares is why to expensive for what it is.
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
You should’ve waited a couple months and got the new 2021 antares dc.
I saw but it has the same model of the 19 so I went with this🤙🏻🔥
