I'm not a fan of it being a finesse reel. It doesn't handle the low end of weights the best compared to something like a curado 70 or even 150. I find it is a great flipping and pitching reel with 15-18lb fluoro or 40lb braided line

@ There is at least one YT video where someone cast 2.5 gm quite a long ways with one. The spool weight is considerably lower than most other 100 sized reels, and I had also heard the spool from their LTS reel may be interchangeable. I don’t do any power fishing; if I bought it, I would use 8 lb.fluoro and mount it on a light power rod with a 1/8 to 1/4 oz lure rating. You can do that more easily with many non-BFS reels than most people realize - my Daiwa SV100 casts 1/8 oz lures great, as long as you use a light rod with lots of flex. Thanks for your insight.

@ There are also multiple versions out on the market. Some of the earlier production models (my case) had some casting issues. Since then I havent tried a newer one where they fixed some issues

Just as light however not quite as smooth in my opinion

I hear that a lot

Yes correct I was talking about the Curado before recording

Womp womp thanks for boosting our videos with your comments

@LakeProTackle You welcome. Yall needed it. Should have just hired me.

@@WolverineXXXX Send me your resume

No idea as of now

Reels transmit vibrations from your rod into your hand. There is a such thing as more sensitive reels or reels better suited for bottom contact techniques

Wonderful!

I would prob use x5 1/8oz heads. TBH Not sure exactly but I would start with that.

Spray paint it hahaha

No exciting drag sound

$199 or $99

About early November

This one is NEW NEW!!

Haha yeah this was a poor day to be honest

This is is a new and improved 5"

@ cool thanks

I was going to buy that swimbait until I heard it was on dope and sick. If it comes off the drugs and gets over being sick I'll think about it.since it's sick can I get it cheaper?

Just a necessary evil!

Yes they do bend out if you overpower your rod, drag, and line. No question about it. Never argued that they don't

@LakeProTackle You said I know everything blah blah blah.....that they were good...that you should fight the fish. Yes, but nobody fights a bass. And my point was they suck and nobody uses them which the pros kept saying over and over. If you want to go that route, I never argue that I can't fight a fish or that it cannot be used. In fact, I might have said I've fished carps with 4 lbs. What I am saying also is stop being haters just bc. Some people hate them to death is what I am saying if you can't make it out. I think you hate me bc I use the term Megaass too bc off course, it's everyone's favorite. If it wasn't trashy, I wouldn't say so. My other point is all these fakeass YTubers are saying the exact same thing, yet you don't bash them like I do. I do what I do bc of the damn misinfo on the net. To say the hooks are great and not tell the whole truth is misinfo like the fake news. I was saying, if you buy a Megaass, you'd have to change the hooks. Secondly, you could have taken that route and sell some trebles, but I suppose you're not as smart as you'd think.

@@WolverineXXXX I didnt even read this but have a good day. I hope you've become a millionaire since we last talked

@LakeProTackle I just hope you stop being an Asian douche since. I hope you learn something and that the pros are having the courage to speak against Megaass bc of me.

@@LakeProTackle I hope you've stopped being an Asianic douche since. I hope you learned something and that bc of people like me, the pros have the courage to speak against this shitty brand. If I am not mistaken, Jon B has even used my term, "Megaass," which he used on the clones. Jon B is a joke too.

They use a similar one

Ok thanks

There are tons of videos out on the web breaking down reels. This one is no different that a Metanium MGL break down

WOW hard decision! The Bantam is bullet proof for me and I have been able to fish it for a long time. The Custom Pro is not been out long enough for me to make that call yet. I like both cast control but the Bantam does have the edge on smoothness still.

@ thank you that’s all I needed to hear. I might get a 2nd bantam ❤️

Rapid Viper was made for smaller jerkbaits than the 110. I would recommend the 110 jr as the biggest jerkbait to throw on the Rapid Viper in the MB lineup

Gainesville, Texas

The deep X cranks have more of a left to right action where as the Z series have more of a rotational wobble "more erratic"
