Nice job and nice collection. A few things I noticed. I thought you sold the Lews KVD reel a little short. It is a good reel and it's dual breaking system helps make it. You do pay a little extra for the KVD name. I noticed you did not talk about the breaking system on any of them. Do any other reels other than the KVD have the dual brakes? If you get a chance, try the Lews Reactor Baitcaster. A Walmart special at $75. 7-5-1 and maybe the best casting reel in my collection. How dare you mix and match your rods and reels. LOL You mix them and find what works the best for you. I have not tried the St Croix rods yet. I have Lews, Abu Garcia and 13 Fishing. 13 Fishing reels seem to cast very well. We will have to get together sometime and go out fishing. My boat is on the South Chain of Lakes in Winter Haven, FL. at Marine Supply. Or if you are up this way and need a boat to use or to do some filming around here. Keep up the great work and good luck in 2025. You and Dale tear them up this year. Take no prisoners.
@@MattCaldwellFishing I may see you there then. I may be fishing against you. If I have another boat by then. I just sold mine and I am looking. If you see someone show up in a pontoon boat, that will be me, and it means I have not found another one yet. LOL
Very nice collection. Good luck in 2025!
Thanks for the comment, going out this weekend!
Betts Fishing in Largo is where I get all of my rods repaired at. Few days turn around, and fair pricing and that’s driving from Lutz
Thanks for the tip. Largo is not too far from me.
Youre welcome
You should try out dobyn champions extreme hp 743 . Their warranty are top notch. Dope Setup
Thanks for the comments, I’ve heard good things about Dobyns Rods.
You should try using that 172h expride for Texas rigs .
I have thought about it for sure!
