- So, lets start with the bad news. I won't be making a fishing video this week. I am in the middle of a move, and just cannot take the time to go fishing. We have lots of stuff to do this week, and possibly next week. I just won't be able to go this week for sure, and possibly not next week.
Now for the good news, my wife and I are having another kid. Yes, thats right, she is pregnant! We don't know the sex yet, however it doesn't matter to us as long as the baby is healthy... Either way, another kid is on the way, and we are told so far that it is healthy. So great news!
Ok now for the new reel unboxing! I bought the Maverick reel from Qualifly Products. I loved that reel when I fished it, and decided to get it. So stay tuned to watch this reel in action soon! As soon as I can get out on the river, I will be going with this reel.
Get the reel here... www.qualiflypro...
Nice reel. Clean n simple. Tks 4 unboxing n showing. God Bless n fish on!
I like the smoothness, machined n simplicity of the design. Nice investment should last a long timeà
Yeah it’s a decent one. I think they have come out with some new ones since
Congrats on kid number 2! Gear reviews are always appreciated, especially with how many small names are popping up. Sometimes if you put a lot less backing on a reel you can get line to fit. Another full machined reel under $150 is the Allen trout II, good drag, good sound, comes in a few colors. Good luck with the move!
Yeah, I have seen Allen reels before as well, they seem good. I personally haven't ever fished with one though, so I cannot contest to how good of quality they are, but I hear good things. Thanks! :)
No worries man. Get your stuff done and I will patiently be waiting for your next video as I am sure many others will. Congrats on the growing family! BTW, been teaching my 6 year old how to tie using your vids, great stuff...
+mike follmer oh that's awesome I'm glad that you're teaching the newer generations how to do this craft. I can't wait till my three-year-old has enough patients for me to teach him
CONGRATS TO THE NEW ONE COMING!
GOD BLESS!
Thank you! :)
Congratulations to you and your wife!
+Bruno Aragon thanks!
You don't have to apologise family comes first your a great man!
Thanks! :)
thanks for the video i just bought a 4-5 wt Maverick i like the way it looks i like that it is quiet and best of all the price , i like all the features of this fly reel cant wait to get it. thanks for taking the time to make this unboxing!! video and im jealous i wish i could live in Durango its beautiful there!
It is pretty here for sure, thank you! I am very lucky to be able to live here. As for the Maverick, I think you will be very happy with it. Its a great reel for the money. There are better reels out there for sure! However for the money, this blows away some other name brand reels in the $250+ range.
Congratulations on the move.
+abe frohman thank you
Congratulations on the move and the addition to the family. No vid for a while is OK, no worries BUT, I assume there's fish able water between Farmington and Durango. I expect during those back and forth trips you're going to wet a line. I like the gear videos as well as tying and on the water stuff. Good luck with the Maverick reels.
I wouldnt have time to wet a line going back and fourth. HAHA I went down today at 6am, and got back around 7pm to the house here. Just crazy busy. Lots of packing, cleaning, and painting the old place so we get our deposit back.
Once I get settled, there are some amazing rivers and creeks up this way. I plan on hitting up the Dolores soon. That will be nice. I think Carter wants to come with me. Hopefully next tuesday I can go, then have a video up next Thursday.
Just ordered one then I see where you are going to use piscfun...
Both are great reels, I still use my maverick, never got rid of any of them if that tells ya something... just piscifun makes less expensive reel, and I’m kinda poor honestly! Haha
I will never own another cast aluminum fly reel or reel without a multi disk drag ever again. Since buying a CNC cut sealed carbon drag Piscifun Crest, there's no going back. And even the cheapo Chinese CNC reels are not bad these days. I've donated my Ross die cast Fly Start reels to a community fishing program, and replaced them with Piscifun and Aventik reels. The Ross was OK 10 years ago but they're obsolete now.
Glad you like the reels man, yeah they aren’t bad for the money huh? I mean there are better reels out there but not really for the price. If you wanna go American, there is a company that is slightly more expensive than piscifun but not much more. They are great quality reels for a reasonable price. It’s called risen. Go to www.risenfly.com and type in McFly at checkout for a discount. You can get their gideon reel for a great price! And it’s one of the best machine jobs I’ve seen In a while for a reel under $300, best part is it’s half that cost!
nice reels for sure but how much is the 10 foot rod going to cost?
I think its going to be right around $200, which isn't bad for a custom made rod. I have a few special things though on it, like he is burning my logo into the cork and stuff. Little extra's that cost a bit more. But he is very reasonable...
Ayeeeee I own one of these! Great stuff!
+Twig 'N' Timber Archery and Outdoors how do you like it?
McFly Angler No issues yet! good drag, and I'm testing it in salt this summer!
Between the Maverick, Piscifun sword, and the risen Gideon what do you think is the best bet? I’m leaning Maverick for the mid price and sealed drag, but with your code the Gideon isn’t much more and comes in green.. thanks!
The LW from risen is sealed, and with the discount it will still cost less. It’s a great reel! I’d say that’s my top pick. The maverick is good though, piscifun has lost me, their customer service and quality control recently has not been desirable.
@@McFlyAngler thanks for the info, I went cheap this time but when I upgrade I’m really going to look at that Risen. Seems awesome. Also, if you haven’t checked them out yet Danielsson reels out of sweden are insane for the price
I haven’t heard of them before, but I’ll check it out thanks! Still a good price in the states being an import?
@@McFlyAngler I paid about 300 even for their L5W series ordered on Friday it was at my house by Monday. The L5w is like their mid/high end, the f3w and original series are even more affordable. Oh and they’re all salt safe. It’s my favorite reel I’ve ever used, smooth and precise as it gets!
Yeah, I mean still $300 is pricy…. Risens saltwater high end reel is about that price. It’s awesome! The whale reel. However also I know some other brands like redington make some pretty nice reels in the $300 range also. But I’ll check it out for sure. What makes it nicer than others?
Congrats on pregnancy news/ new house you get a bye for the next 2 weeks lol.
+James Reed ha ha thanks man
Thank you!
great video
Thanks! :)
allen kraken fly reels great prices & good drags, check them out
Congrats brother
Thanks man! :)
How’s that reel been so far?
Decent. I ended up selling it a short time ago. Had it and used it a lot for 2-3 years. But now I’m sponsored by Risen Fly so, I get quite a bit of super discounted items. I ended up upgrading everything to their gear.
Any issues with the Sage 2250? Just snagged one of them.
Jk lol just watched the rest of your vid.
+Tyler Ross no issues at all. Just for the price point I think the Maverick is far and away better. But the 2200 is a good reel... it will start looking warn though in just a few months, since it's cast aluminum with a paint job, rather than machined and anodized...
LOL no worries...
like a review on flies you tie and see if they catch fish.
I do that already... Check out all my fishing show video's. 95% of the flies I fish with are ones I tie on video. And when I catch a fish, I usually try to show (or just say) the fly that I catch it on. Also, almost all of my flies I tie on video I have caught fish on as well.
More scratches more stories is what I say! I don't see why you need a fully machined reel. These days the cast and machined are basically the exact same. Great video though!
I disagree. Machines reels are lighter and tougher. They will not break as easy. Just FYI. However I have no problem with cast either. Just there is a difference for sure. And yeah I personally don’t care about scratched reels, but some people do. Lol
you should get the center v reel and do a review on it
+Cobe Mahan I'll look it up, never heard of it.
I like gear videos. lol you may have just sold me on a 4-5 weight maverick...now just to talk to the fiance and get approval lol
+Joshua Pilon good luck! Stop by the store and get her flowers... haha
What weights can you purchase the turquoise blue reel in?
I think the turquoise is only the larger one... which I think is 7/8/9 wt... but don’t quote me, haha! Been a while since I looked. I own the reels now and havent taken a look at the weights. Check their website.
Okay. Thanks a lot man
Not a problem
have you tried the allen kracken reels?
+mark lombardi yeah I've seen them and they're pretty good
Have you've ever fished with a Lamson liquid reel?
No, I haven't. I hear good things though.
You should check them out someday if you can find them at a local fly shop.
Yeah, they are at my fly shop. Good reels. I am not super stoked on the looks of the reels though. Im sure they fish really well, but not my favorite for looks. The thing is, they are not fully machined, just cast aluminum. For just $25 or so more you get a fully machined reel with this Maverick.. Personally I haven't found a better reel in the under $150 range.
Hi there its a limey b here from over the pond, I really like the look of those reels (Maverick) perhaps you would be kind enough to give me the address of the company in the states please as we can't buy them in GB.And also the best price they are on sale to you guys .
PS Have subscribed to your channel.
Regards Gerald swain.
Thanks for the subscription! :) As for the address, I'm not sure. But I can give you their website which should have phone numbers and what not to contact the business owner (his name is Joe). www.qualiflyproducts.com
Sorry I don't know anything about special prices, I am not associated with them as a company and don't know anything about discounts or how much it would cost to ship. You would have to ask Joe. Sorry, I wish there was more I could answer to you, but I cannot. I just own the reel, I don't know anything about the inner workings of the company.
So how has the reel held up after 18 months?
It’s good man, not a bad reel for the money. Been fishing more with even cheaper reels lately, Piscifun’s, so I only honestly put about 8-10 months on this reel, worked well
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, I have a Piscifun baitcaster and spinning reel and they are performing awesomely. I will definitely add a Piscifun fly reel to the kit also, but I do like to support small businesses as well. Thanks again and love the videos they have really improved my fly tying!
Glad to help, yeah from what I’ve found, most modern reels work very well. Some might have better customer service or better quality control, but for the most part they are all quality. And the maverick is no exception. Good reels for sure!
Kelly Gallup said that there are no modern fly reels made today that are bad. Do you get more quality with an Abel, or Mirage, or Hatch, or whatever? Sure you do. Can you buy a new mid/lower cost large arbor reel made (wherever) and have a reel that will perform well for however long? You betcha. As long as the guys at Maverick stand up to their warrantee claims then you should be all set. BTW, when you are older and settled you will look back on the time spent living out of boxes, with a baby, and laugh your ass off about it.
I don't own an abel, mirage, or hatch so I cannot contest to the quality vs. But I will say that this reel is better quality than my sage 2200 (same price point), and the same quality as my sage 3200 (almost double the price)... Plus I like the looks better than my 3200. I could never afford an abel, hatch or mirage, so I'm very happy and content with my new Maverick. For the money I think its awesome! Heck, I like it better than my 3200 at almost double the price. So I'm stoked.
Yeah, I am sure I will laugh, I am now. I hope I didnt sound like I was complaining about the move. I am happy to move to such a beautiful area. My wife and I have been working to move to Durango for 6 years, and finally were able to. I was only trying to explain why there is no fishing video this week, thats all. Sorry if it seemed like I was complaining.
I didnt think you were complaining at all. I thought it was funny and nice to see a young guy on the move with a family making it, and still having time to fish. Being older it is nice to see the young guys trying hard, working, wife, family, getting it done. Good job all around McFly.
Oh good, I didnt want to come off like I was complaining, glad it didnt seem that way. Thanks for the encouragement. Its much needed right now with doctors bills piling up! HAHA
Congratulations! Try moving with 3 kids!
Yeah I am sure thats even tougher. However it is still difficult with one. HAHA
Hey man you should check out Piscifun, I love their reels and it's machined aluminum and the best part is, it's only 50-60 bucks. Really cheap and awesome reel for the price point
Is it really fully machined? If so, seems like some good deals. How is the drag? Like is it smooth? I know what the costs are to machine these reels, and if they have quality drag and fully machined then they are loosing money selling them for $60... LOL
Yep! Fully machined aluminum alloy, drag is great! I live in Texas and catch bass and perch most of the time so I really don't use the drag much, but I have caught some bigger bass, 6-7 pounds, and the drag is honestly silky smooth. Since they're so cheap you should just give em a try! You can get them on amazon, I really like the piscifun blaze, I got one right now and I love it!
Wow, well it must be made overseas (which is totally fine) because it costs a lot to make these here. Machining aluminum is not cheap. HAHA But yeah, I will check them out for sure, thanks!
Yeah I think they're made in Japan, but they're really great products for the price, and yes! No problem!
Japan? No way, its expensive to machine there also. I would guess china or taiwan.... Either way it doesn't matter if its done right... I know Sage machines overseas, and those are quality reels as well. Of course, overpriced, but quality. HAHA
Hmm so say a fish is peeling line off your reel is spinning seems like it would be hard to get your fingers in to adjust the drag without risk of them hitting the reel.
+222buckley well you should never adjust your drag while fighting the fish. Although we are all guilty of it. Also, it's an open face, so you could use your hand to slow that run.
where can i get one or 3 i like them
+big ron www.qualiflyproducts.com
I think that's the website, I'm out camping, so I don't have it on me... I think I also put it in the description section if that's not it...
McFly Angler thank u
No problem, just got back from my trip, so yeah I was right, that was the website.
neopreme? lol
