Yeah they be bringing the heat in their episodes!!! This has fastly become one of my Fav pods.. the guest and topics are always fire...i like how Trait always calls Chris out..lol.. and she always brings the conversation back to center when it starts to stray... Idk what Chris would do without HER.. they are an awesome team at everything they do...
I have to say that you two are great at getting your guest to open up and answer the tough questions, interesting all the way through. Thank you for putting out this type of information.
As a custom rod builder (fly and conventional), this was an incredible podcast. Don’t get to hear from many professionals. I only build and sell about 100 rods a year, all custom ordered. Im thinking about getting an apprentice to double that. I only build during our Canadian winter, deliver in spring, take orders in summer every year. Summer is chartering and fishing.
I’m 61 years old and I learned more about rods in one hour than I have my entire life! Very good information, thanks. And I use all 13 fishing rods and reels now.
Please do more podcasts like this. I love geeking out on tackle like this, I guess it’s the engineer in me. I respect 13 for using their own blanks and reel seats. What’s your favorite Envy 3 rod Chris?
Casting 👉 The 7’6” medium heavy. With fluoro it’s medium to finessy, with braid it’s powerful. bit.ly/EnvyIIIBaitcastingRod Spinning 👉 6’9” Medium for dock skipping, big drop shots and even jerkbaits bit.ly/EnvySpinningRods We want to do more stuff like this but it takes having the right person who will open up. Ricky is the perfect guy because 1) he really knows his craft and 2) no subject is off limits
Hey Chris, any chance 13 Fishing will be selling blanks? I roll my own and I can’t imagine going back to an off-the-shelf rod. I’ve held a G-Man 7’3” Meta and it’s tempting but I like my handles and Fuji Titanium Torzite guides. Using Point Blank Rod blanks… I blame Kyle Welcher. Might would buy a Kyle Welcher signature 7’3” 🤪
These interviews just get better and better. This was crazy interesting. Love all the behind the scenes stuff and stories of how people/companies get started. Awesome job!
Excellent video. I like technique specific rods. I watch the TH-cam videos and tutorials with lots of interest. I would like to believe the pro is giving us good advice on rods, reels, line and gear ratios. One thing I try to think about is the physical size of the pro anglers who develop rods and demonstrate techniques. Decades ago when I was a kid reading about fishing equipment, I always read choose your rod based on your physical body dimensions. If your are a taller angler choose a longer rod. If your short, choose a shorter rod.
I’m really enjoying this! I’m stopping to point out the great question Trait just asked, regarding the consumer. I have read on, listen to pros talk about, and did all the research. I will not pull the trigger on a purchase 90% of the time without touching the product. For all the reasons both of the guys just mentioned!
That’s always a question she has when it comes to the data - do buyers want to put the rod in hand before purchase? She still believes, regardless of the price point, most do.
@@Zaldaingerous it’s a great point, and question! We have all this technology that allows us to research, but availability is my biggest gripe. Probably the area, SE Michigan? And your point regarding the trolls 🙋🏻♂️ but application is key. The Bilge has become another source for insight!
I gotta say, I use to have a defy black ML and I use to use it for ned Rig. I was really turned off by how not sensitive it was when campred to my tatula xt ML. I sold the rod and said I'm not buying a 13 rod ever again. But you made a real good point on this podcast, i never tried the other lines like omen or the muse. This video was very eye opening on what 13 does, thanx for sharing.
That’s understandable, Nelly, but glad we were able to explain a chunk of what they’ve got going on a little further and hope you give them another try 👊🏽
Rods are something I need in my hand because all of them feel different. Even if they say MH you can have a different feeling in the same company. Just like a MH muse doesn't feel like an envy. I've only bought a couple JDM rods without feeling them but did a ton of research.
Great discussion!! Question… Is there a difference in rods bought from a big online retailer and those bought directly from the manufacturer off their site?
I have seen so many rods personally arrive broken because of how it was taken care of in shipping. So even if they don't arrive broken I think most have stress cracks or weak points that don't have anything to do with the quality of the brand but someone stepping or stacking things on top of them
Good retailers ship in thick, hard cardboard rod tubes. I use two companies online because both ship with them. They charge 40$ shipping for one piece rods, which sucks but I understand and have never once gotten a damaged rod from them. They also wrap the rods in bubble wrap and put soft foam on both ends with plastic end caps. Find a retailer you trust and stick with them.
Taipan Rod’s LLC is a American company that I love if anyone is interested in buying a truly American manufactured rod. Loving these podcasts btw tight lines 🤙🏼
I’ve heard of Taipan, but I’ll be honest, there are very few on Ricky’s level. We are going to sit down again and go much more in-depth. I joined up with them because I felt like 13 is the industry’s future.
One of my favorite episodes just because I geek out on rods. It has made me go take a longer look at 13 overall. However it is going to be very hard to pull me from the company I currently use. IMO Alpha Angler makes the best rod I have ever used. Especially at their price point and I have used every company I think at this point except maybe a handful. Unless you have fished an Alpha you have no idea.
I bought 12 gen 1 omens the first year it was released. 1 made it the whole year. Thankfully gander mountain offered a 1 year warranty. I’m sure 13 is better now but I would have a hard time trying them again
Yeah, I don’t believe this. I’ve been a very avid competitive fisherman for 35 years now, and I’ve never met anyone who broke 12 of the same rod in a year, and everyone I know is in the fishing industry (I own saltwater fishing charters up and down the east coast). No store would keep passing off rods that break, they’d have given you credit on a different rod after the second or third, and called their suppliers immediately.
Great video with Ricky! Love the open and honest conversation with a big player. I do love their evolve reel seats. They are super comfortable and sensitive. I will say though that some of my Omen Black's were not splined correctly. What rod do you use for finesse hair jigs, drop shotting, and for small jerkbaits (spinning)? Keep up the great videos Chris! Best of luck this week and year! Do you like the Muse 6'8" or Envy 6'8" for JB?
I currently own FIVE 13Fishing rods. They are by one of the best fishing rods I've fished with. I absolutely love all of them. They are the PERFECT blend of functional, quality and cost effective. I pair all my 13 with Daiwa reels and the drag feel with the sensitivity and strength of the rods is a perfect combo. I really appreciated this episode, Chris. Hats off. To anyone interested in getting a 13 for the first time, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.
I recently bought my first. I own a lot of rods, and the new 13 heavy flipping stick I bought is one of my favorite heavy spine fast action rods in my 35 years of fishing. I already ordered a 7’ medium fast baitcaster and a 6 1/2’ medium-light spinning rod to try.
That’s the whole reason why The Bilge was started - sitting back and watching everyone pussy foot around conversations and being company men. It’s definitely guided us in who we partner with going forward, too. People who don’t try to put a filter on who we are or who they are.
I’m a 13 fan boy as well. I’ll never forget years ago a rep for a very large brand that starts with a S came in to the tackle shop and he saw the bright green fate rods on the rack. He basically told me everything 13 builds is garbage with flashy colors to attract young anglers. He said 13 wouldn’t survive and would be gone in 2-3 years. Boy was he wrong!
Did 13 fishing stop making soft plastics? I cant find them on the sight anymore and on takcle warehouse they're all on closeout. Too bad, i really like them.
Man, this is some GOOD Sh*t, becoming more of a fan of the 13 fishing company every day, keep up the awesome work, and thanks for doing what you do, totally envious lol!!🎣
I wish he would have mentioned recoil guides,i believe they r the toughest guides in the world. They need alittle customizing so they are not to rough on the blank, and maybe thats the reason behind not using them. also the tip tops suck. I would love to ask him the why's and know he is telling me trail and error responses.
"all those people it takes.....and all the complicated coordination...." (they just do it all for us, as long as we keep an eye on them to keep them from stealing our inventory)
So much insight into the rod industry. I kind of thought some of T's questions may have been out of bounds... but no question went unanswered or put aside! One of your top episodes.
I love my envy, omens, and fates! 😂.. no foreal I really can't come up with anything bad to say about them except for the tip on my 7'5hvy Omen the guide came out . But it was replaced.. and like super super fast! And I use all three of those rods for the three main particular applications that they just talked about and had no idea they were made for those three different applications.. I'm not going to lie completely though I use my Omen 7'6MdHvy to throw my MagDrafts . But for the most part a Carolina rig on that line of Rod is super deadly.. and I'll never throw a jerkbait on anything but a Fate!!! .. not anymore anyway... 😂.. this was a killer ass episode. I had to comment again!!
@@Zaldaingerous don't even get me started dude I tried to order some the other day after I saw your video on all of the testing and all the models you came out with and tackle Warehouse faked me out.. I thought I had six packs in my cart and I look and it says back ordered 😂😂😂😢😂😂.. trust me I'm beyond excited for that one.
Hey Guys, don't know if it's just my computer, but I had to turn the volume up to almost max to get decent volume. Podcast sounded pretty quite to me. Just a heads up, could also just be me.
@@Zaldaingerous I think also the hard part is getting the guest to keep that mic a fist from their face, most of the interview it was pretty far away. You guys were actully clear, it seems his audio was just low.
Just a thought… the middle person turns their head to address each of you. Maybe put the guest on one side to help with the head turning. Otherwise, it was an awesome pc! The colors kept me from even trying 13, but customer service and that kind of detail to quality is all I really care about! You guys have quickly become my favorite podcast! Keep up the good work and sit however you want!
She worked with a company and built a few rod lines for a big box store but ultimately left because the company didn’t have the ability to do what was needed when it came to building reel seats specific to women or building from the ground up, period, like she knew was needed to execute. She plays dumb but she’s pretty in the know on the rod side which is why she geeks out over Ricky’s knowledge and abilities.
Wont touch anything 13 Fishing. Sounds like a company for kids. I understand people enjoy 13 gear. The name makes me think the products are poorly made, by teenagers.
@@Zaldaingerous Could tell me the rods are only made in America with gold and catch double digit bass on every cast. Still wouldn't touch em cause the name turns me off. Nothing wrong with that. Sorry it's not what you want to hear about your sponsors. Thanks for another good episode.
@@Zaldaingerous regardless; this dude is a genius and I appreciate you both bringing such niche fishing content. no one else is doing this. this guy and the biologist both expanded my fishing skills exponentially. I wish you luck this year man. 👍🏻
Outlaw rods 💪 sorry thats crappie only 😆...enjoy the show guys and girls 👍 oh ny the way hes so right about FED EX i bought a rod awhile back when they delivered it showed up in 5 pieces they suck!!🫤!
As a custom rod builder who is always sourcing new materials...this episode is AMAZING! Hats off to y'all. Great content!
Appreciate it, Matt! Ricky was so open and transparent it made this conversation easy. He knows his stuff, too.
Yeah they be bringing the heat in their episodes!!!

I’ve been loving the podcasts! By the comments it really seems to be a hit. I wish I could be in the industry, just no idea where I’d start.
I gotta say, I use to have a defy black ML and I use to use it for ned Rig. I was really turned off by how not sensitive it was when campred to my tatula xt ML.

I was a HUGE fan of the 13 Fishing predecessor No. 8 Tackle, Black Out and Hellraiser rods. Great rods! This episode was fantastic!
Thanks for watching, Greg!
Such a great conversation! As a rod company owner, this was so needed! Thanks..
Wow. Thank you 🙏 you get it
RICKY is spot on with all of this. Crazy.. Toray is the Way
Great discussion!! Question… Is there a difference in rods bought from a big online retailer and those bought directly from the manufacturer off their site?
No, in fact a lot of times if you buy from a retailer online, it’s actually being shipped directly from 13.
I am CAD guy! Currently 3D printing accessories for my boat. Its cool to hear our behind the scene job talked about!
That’s cool!!!
I have seen so many rods personally arrive broken because of how it was taken care of in shipping. So even if they don't arrive broken I think most have stress cracks or weak points that don't have anything to do with the quality of the brand but someone stepping or stacking things on top of them

That was awesome! Learned alot on this one. Love the behind the scenes look at the industry. Keep it going!
Thank you, Troy!
Awesome podcast! Chris you’ve quickly become my favorite angler. Rod question: I can’t seem to find the muse???
It’s actually not out yet. Will be very soon though
Great show, love my Inception reels, just got a Concept C2. Wanting to get a G2 reel & try out the Meta series rods. Ricky sounds like a cool dude.
I’ve always wondered why we don’t standardize actions. Larry Dahlberg used to do awesome rod testing with deflection and what not.

Any chance these will ever get uploaded on Spotify? Tryna listen at work
Trait’s actively considering it but right now caters to TH-cam and Apple Podcasts only
I live right here outside of Tampa. How do I get a job with 13 lol. I've landed some toads on 13 baits and gear.
I guess you gotta go blow up their DMs on social 😆 they are a great group over there!
I think the link for the swim bait-rods is wrong.

Can we get the audio of these to iTunes or Spotify so we can listen on the road?
Can’t lock my phone and listen to TH-cam videos. 😢
I have switched all my rods to 13 fishing. And they do have the best customer service.
I’ve heard nothing but praise regarding 13’s customer service standards
