@@HBeretta preach! I agree with you 💯. I feel like dudes who break off a snap is because their using a Xxxxheavy rod with drag cranked on high using 60lb braid lol (kidding no one would do that) but you get my point 🙃

@roandpixels1274 ohhh someone would! lol.

What brands of snaps have you tried and what were they rated at?

@@lasserbream I really only use braid to leader for my lowest BFF set up. Other than that I like to school up my reels with straight mono or flouro. Good point. One of my next videos will be about knots including leader knots. 🪢

@@MADMAXOGBJJ I actually haven’t checked them out. I am always looking for raid Japan stuff, thanks for the heads up

Of course bro !!

Great question. Personally and based on my experience it’s stiffer. Still no flouro but that give is great for winter fishing and fraying. I love to use this line around cover. Holds up really well. Especially getting smallies out of river/log areas without losing them

​@@roandpixels1274 Thanks for the response, I've been using Trilene XL for a a few years and it holds up extremely well. For example I have been using the same 14lb line for 4 months and it has been through multiple backlashes, but I was able to land a 6-7LB pike in late November with the line. The stiffer lines seem to weaken a lot after you get a kink into them, is this the case with the GT-R Ultra? Also, have you done much long distance casting with the GT-R Ultra or only close contact fishing (seems perfect for this application)?

@ so as far as kinks or backlashes it holds up really well. It takes a while for it to form any memory. I usually load up my exsence dc with it in spring and only reload it if I run low from tying any baits, which is almost non existent since I now use JDM snaps to switch out quickly even better hard baits and single ewg hooks or jigs. As far as long distance casting I do lob them out there my rivers have a decent width so it varies how far I have to cast. Especially with me moving near a lake now. I’ll get a good distance going of under 25yrds without any issue. I will say the dc reel helps with this

@@MADMAXOGBJJ yes they can. They might not have them any more as they are a Christmas item, but if they are definitely scoop one up. You’ll get your bang for you buck. There’s a video I posted prior about how to navigate their shop so it’ll be easy for both of you :) also do you fish the Dundee dam ever?

@roandpixels1274 Ok gotcha bro, I appreciate the info. I’ll take a look at your other video and try to navigate and see what they have. No i have never fished there. I seen your video awhile back where you were fishing there in Dundee. I didn’t know the exact spot you were in. I tried to look it up but couldn’t find it. We do a lot of pond fishing and hit up some lakes around and bank fish. Mostly largemouth and smallie’s when we can find them. I’m in Wayne about ten minutes from Metro Airport.

@ bro pond hopping is how I got started, but smallies on the river caught me haha. Yeah it was the Dundee dam. That’s awesome though. If you guys don’t find what you want or need help with anything just let me know. Always down to help. Thank you for watching!

@@HBeretta right haha they held nothing back

@@19DESERTFOX91 bro JDM Sanyo line is what you need. I’ll make a review about it to explain its properties. It has never snapped on me in winter ❄️ so stoked I have a stockpile

@@spotlightinspect5540 are you talking about older videos? On the most recent ones I have links to both tackle shops I use from Japan.

@@Zz-id5qp great question. So I have experience with the original era baits, but not the new iteration. From the original standpoint to the wild beat 50 I would pick the 50. I made a video a while back on the era and unless he improved the paint job it barely lasted 3 smallish before it started losing paint quick. The wild beat paint quality is just unmatched so far. The movement is also there with the right setup and line. So if I had to pick one I would get the 50. Once the season starts up again I’ll do a side by side. Again though I don’t have his newest era iteration

@@roandpixels1274all good I actually have the original bone one just a month before he released his new model. If that the case I’ll get one, but how much is shipping? I’ll probably save up cause I have a feeling the oversea price might be high.

@ actually shipping isn’t the worse part haha, but I might be a little desensitized to it. I paid $75 total for two baits shipping included. Which when you break it down to handmade and custom, to me isn’t horrible.

@@HBeretta I was surprised they made this

@@Jpeace530 thank you! Any suggestions are always welcomed if you want to see anything in particular

@@cuchirana4378 it would slay in ND haha

Yes it is Saltwater safe. Great question

@roandpixels1274 I've always wanted a shimano bfs but always end up with daiwa. I may bite the bullet.Just getting some sheckles together for the Daiwa Infeet bait cast rod.

@ I 100% agree with you. This was the 2nd shimano baitcaster I bought. The first was the newest Aldebaren. I wasn’t a fan, but this reel is amazing. I do love the simple Magnetic braking system for Daiwa systems. My all time fav BFS reel would be Daiwa Silver Creek

@@Boris29311 that’s exactly right. Size 10

@@gman69455 personally with me running some vibration baits with trebles and this one with doubles, I would say way less. The double tucks underneath nicely when it’s falling down and pops out and I twitch it up. With the trebles I’ve just found they pick up more debris and snags on grass. I still keep the trebles on the back though.

@@OmariSmith-g7p thank you. It’s been doing great so far this late fall season

@@ironlam I made a video prior to this one I think it’s just below it about the shop I use. It’ll show you the steps to take. I got the net from Japan 🇯🇵 so it’s straight from the source :)

@@Mall_santa_vr great questions it’s a style of fishing. Finesse style. It stands for Bait Finesse System. It’s using a like casting rod. A reel capable of handling lighter line and smaller lures.

@@roandpixels1274 👍

@@nenadnedovic9246 stateside they run about $15 a piece. From Japan though I’d say you probably $8-10

Haha that’s how you snag those exclusive bait shop colors they drop sometimes too. Plus not all shops carry all brands so I definitely agree with you

@@dannyb78 hey I’ll take any feedback. It’s always appreciated.

Buyee Japan handles the shipping. They’ve always answered any question within 24hrs. So I would say yes they handle things very well

@@spotlightinspect5540 yeah I had to special order from Japan

@@HBeretta I’ll have to try the 60 size. I think I only went as far as 50

@@adhamkhattab3546 it’s not a real reel lol I had to get creative with my DIY thumbnail and I am a very poor drawer as evidence by haha. It was suppose to be a calcutta conquest BFS but I failed 😂😂

The thumbnail is AI

@@colorado_koolaid2625 that’s actually the Shimano Exensence 2 DC model. It’s a super great reel

@@roandpixels1274 oh I was talking about the rod. I thought I saw it say steez

@@colorado_koolaid2625 oh my bad yes it’s DAIWA 21 STEEZ C66MH - MACHINE GUNCAST TYPE-II

@@roandpixels1274 is this the most sensitive rod you have used? Looking for a really sensitive jig rod

@@colorado_koolaid2625 honestly the most sensitive rods I’ve used to date have been the Jackall Revoltage. Especially the MH for jigging. I could feel everything. But the line and lure matter too. I usually had my jigging setup paired with a flouro JDM line and a tungsten jig which my go to were the ISSEI or Bottom up jigs. Also for the price point revoltage saves you some money

@@redtobertshateshandles you’re right they definitely do take care of their plastics. It’s a little touch but it goes a long way. Jackall does that as well I feel like

@@HBeretta haven’t thought about the Indiana blade. I should try that. The feather does pretty well, but maybe the extra flash would help. Yeah I’m still not understanding how to cast swim bats very well even the small ones but it’s a learning curve for sure.
