Plat Fishing just had these rods for 40% off. I bought the 63" length and caught a bunch of 16"+ and one 18" rainbow trout. I have fallen in love with this rod. The sensitivity on this rod is amazing fishing with your BG-1 jigheads. The feeling is just super crisp and sharp-you can feel every tap on the lure!

[@ifishcatfish]

all of this true. But when u connect with fish only the top is bending. I prefer the Presso AGS over this for panfish..

[@watchman316ly]

@@ifishcatfish I also have the Presso LTD AGS 61ML and love it too. It took me a while to get use to the handle because it incorporates the full carbon fiber material to it as well. I use that bad boy for all my JDM spoons for the majority of its application. I just love the AGS system of the carbon fiber guide frame with torziite inserts in them- the rod is cray light! The casting ability with all lines is second to none, especially on full nylon and fluorocarbon 2.5 - 4 lb. lines. Nevertheless, I normally use braid lines .6 - .8 PE Varivas Super Trout lines and then add flruo to it. Because of the parabolic action, it does wonders for barbless single hook action.It has the backbone to handle all sizes of trout from 8" - 22" browns, rainbows, and brookies, but still gives enough for that bite to hook'em in!

Great video Victor, what a bunch of fish. Received my order today, thanks for the floats and the jigheads.

[@ifishcatfish]

Always happy to see ur name in the comments, buddy! Go get some juicy panfish with the ifish tackle now!

[@ivanvedris9636]

ooo yes, you were right :) I really liked today's video. nice specimen fish and very nice looking combo! I like how the rod bends under the pressure of the fish. as for the rod we talked about yesterday, it is made for offshore rockfishing. it is a little longer, has a slightly stronger backbone (like this daiwa), but it also bends nicely - it is not a stiff rod. sometimes I throw a 3 inch keitech, anything can hit the hook :)

[@bobjohnson7207]

Victor that was a great day. Well done.

[@ifishcatfish]

hi Bobby! Always glad to see you!

[@Salt.Fresh.Finesse]

I have gekkabijin mebaru rod but the non AGS version. It’s my go to saltwater UL rod for light rock fishing. Glad to see a gekkabijin rod in your hands! Do great work paired with your jigs too 👍

[@Salt.Fresh.Finesse]

Also to add, mebaru aka rockfish in Japanese I have found fight somewhat similarly to fresh water black bass. More often than not you will find mebaru/rockfish in very heavy cover like rock jetties, reefs, and kelp. It translate great into light tackle bass fishing.

[@ifishcatfish]

very interesting and useful - thank you!

[@noddadoc9619]

Love the content. And those are some wonderful catches. You were killin it this trip. And great job knowing your rod and reel. I ultralight fish myself, have always preferred this style of fishing for big and small fish and was born with an ultralight in my hand, I swear. I've always said to people you don't need a heavy rig to catch nice fish, you just need to be in the right place and learn to use Ultralight and enjoy the fun. I am not bragging, but I always outfish everyone because of my ultralight set ups. Always have fished that way and never knew otherwise until I got older. Especially smallmouth which I target on rivers. Plus, its just so much fun. BTW: I bought the Daiwa Presso UL because of you last year......and that is the best rod I have ever held in my hand. So thank you for reviewing that rod. Paired with a Daiwa Regal and my oh my. Thanks for representing all us ultralight people out there. Its just one fun set up and I come to your videos when I need to fish at my desk.

[@ifishcatfish]

that is a testament to keep! I appreciate u taking the time to write this!

[@joshjo9184]

You release alot of videos and thank you for that. your rambling is always very much appreciated also. Always good stuff.

[@r.j.macready5620]

Victor, Thanks for the light jigheads. I hope to try them this weekend. I will be ordering the proper weight bobbers when back in stock.

[@ifishcatfish]

all floats are in stock. They are only sold in package. Single floats were never sold individually, to ensure people match them with the right jigs. I have no plans to sell them individually for the foreseeable future because it is very difficult to ship them and if somebody buys only one float i would lose money .. : )

[@r.j.macready5620]

@ifishcatfish gotcha. I thought you were going to sell the 2 packs. I will be ordering here soon.

[@ifishcatfish]

@@r.j.macready5620 thats the individual floats. They were never sold individually. I left rhem there so people can read specifications but its causing confusion so i will just remove them tomorrow. I apologize for the confusion.

@@ifishcatfish No need to apologize. Is a way to lose a lot of money.

[@hotdayhot]

Great video as usual; Victor! The rod you used is GEKKABIJIN AIR 68L-T-W: red labeled bottom piece, Tubular tip, for Mebaru. There are other versions as well: if silver labeled bottom piece: They are for Ajin, solid tip. It appears these rod are 2023 version, Made in China? (W...) and they are not labeled as AGS, although guides are AGS, maybe partly AGS. Then there are version made in Japan: Daiwa GEKKABIJIN EX Air AGS 68L-T Q: red handle piece ( Q: the most expensive version. Made in Japan, labed to be used for both horse mackerel / Ajin and rockfish.); Daiwa GEKKABIJIN Air AGS Ajing 68L-T Y (Silver Labeled bottom piece, Made in Japan). Lastly non-air/AGS version: GEKKABIJIN AJING 68L-S (red bottom piece). I did not pay attention to. So confusing, but I just figured it out.. Probably ones Made in China are just as good as ones Made in Japan. But you prefer the latter. Buy the Y or Q version...

[@ifishcatfish]

i definitely have not done that research. My presso ags are made in china and are impeccable. I got 4 of them.

[@joelm6650]

What a great day of fishing not many of those happen very often. Glad you got to enjoy it

Hey Victor, just wondering when you plan doing your table top on the Gekkabjin Air AGS. Just want to confirm that I’m picking the correct model. Seems as though there are many different versions. I appreciate it bud! 👍👍

[@ifishcatfish]

Maybe this weekend. One more video before that.

[@bluesky5587]

Great timing for me victor as I was wanting to purchase a bass rod for wacky worm ….i used your beloved soare xr 7.6 today and it seemed to me to be perfect for 4 inch wacky worm…..the bend in top of rod seemed exactly right for raising senior up and down…. It handled 5 medium 2lb or less bass beautifully and sensitive to the slightest touch…..the rod in the video also looks to be an excellent choice for wacky worm also ….would you recommend it for that type of wacky bass fishing from lake shore? …many thanks

[@ifishcatfish]

Mmm ... i don't know... maybe if your wacky worm is weightless or only up to 2-3 grams of weight. I would use a more powerful rod than this for wacky worm. This rod... its Light power but it still extremely light and carbony and finessy and fragile. I wouldn't bring it with me on the bank.

[@bluesky5587]

@@ifishcatfish thank u ….yes …weightless ….it felt good but something more sturdy is likely more appropriate…..u mentioned the pan fish legend elite fast action in the video,,,,would you consider that as wacky worm weightless option or just go get a bass rod …appreciate all of your wisdom

[@ifishcatfish]

@@bluesky5587 no, that rod will bend when u try to hop it and u wont be able to playmit properly.

[@troutmagnetman]

In 7 years of fishing there the lock rarely ever produced any fish. One of my first JDM rods was a Gekkabijin Ajing back in 2012. Without a doubt was the most rigid light game rod I have ever seen. Good job on the drum.

[@ifishcatfish]

i wonder why Richard Gene is always catching them in this spot down at Guntersville, but here they dont want to go in..

[@troutmagnetman]

@@ifishcatfish different dams. Fishing the lock below Pickwick produced tons of fish. Same at Old Hickory. Nickajack is just very odd that no fish hang around in there. I always used to give it about 30 minutes when I would fish below the dam. But would always move on….never gave me hardly anything.

[@expansioniskeyrn]

I thought your jigs could have been barbless until you caught the catfish. But seems like everything else you catch, it’s soo easy for you to remove the hook. So effortlessly. What the trick?

[@ifishcatfish]

I have to disapoint u - there is no trick. They just come out. Dont know what to tell u

[@borfishing7690]

[@alekseym3700]

Hello. which version is slower than Daiwa Presso Air Ml or L? And take a closer look at the budget Daiwa Iprimi fishing rods!!!! There is a version with four parts, it’s also the way you like it, with a slow tuning. (Although this is difficult to achieve from a four-piece!!!) Thank you!

[@ifishcatfish]

Please rewrite your question. I don't understand what exactly you are asking. If you are asking about the bend curve of Presso AIR AGS, yes, the ML is parabolic, and the L is progressive (fast action). The L model of Presso AIR AGS has similar action to this rod right here

Hey Victor I was wondering what garmin you are using with your live scope and if you could suggest a good one?

[@ifishcatfish]

I use the 126 SV. I hate touch screens but now i wish i had the touch screen. I still hate them, but the touch screen models are much smaller. This thing is huge and takes too much space.. I am not the guy to ask about electronics.. i don't have much experience or research about them

I have no experience with garmin so your advice is better then no advice. Thank you.

@@joshjo9184 Garmin has great hardware but shitty interface. I just HATE their menus and how u do everything with them. Much prefer Humminbird and Minnkota in terms of interface, but Garmin's livescope is best, i think

[@12345B]

As much as i love ultralight fishing, there is a deep joy to bass fishing, expecially in highly pressured, crystal clear water, using small plugs. I bought my shimano expride out of japan and got it for a killer deal. I got the jdm model, being the 6"5 medium light regular fast action. Definitley better and more true to the action then the usdm models.

[@ifishcatfish]

bass is great on days like this with hot action. But sometimes i go 100 casts without a bite and i keep thinking of all the bluegill i could have caught instead..

[@12345B]

@ifishcatfish so true, i also enjoy the opposite of catching cast after cast, it's a different mindset, the joy of bass fishing for me is the hunt, seeing a overhanging tree, skipping a frog back under it, or twitching a small popper on the edge of a reedline. Etc Panfishing can be like this sometimes, but I would say Panfishing is very therapeutic, relaxing, and peaceful in contrast. But this can go both ways, as well

[@torment6369]

@@12345B I think the beauty of bass fishing is that there is so many ways to catch them. Ultralight, swimbaits, cranking, plastic rigs, topwater, jerkbaits, and probably many other techniques that I can't think of at the top of my head. I love hearing my spinning reels drags sing but I do love top water explosions and feeling my cranks get t-boned.
