Gave a thumbs up like the music and casting releases stress.

[@victorycigarettes]

That was sick!

[@Moondog-vc5hr]

Keep up the good work i am now starting to learn about pendulum casting

[@deanconway8776]

What he didn't mention was the reel had only 50 yards of line on it.

[@akocbombie]

Dean Conway : your close. 30 yards. We dont need to cast far coz fish in this area will just jump into the bucket

[@Fargosportsmassage]

Which one of the Abu is best for casting long distance with pendulum Salt Water? Thanks

[@mitchellmassey9487]

How do you not backlash without holding your thumb on it

[@akocbombie]

Mitchell Massey : the side plate has a center magnets and is adjustable

[@patthompson4330]

good video mate, whats the rod your using?

[@akocbombie]

Pat Thompson : i pickup the blank from a tackle store by me and i wrapped it my self it is rated 3-6 mh

[@RadReelingFishing]

Are you please with how the 6500 has performed and held up with regular use?

[@akocbombie]

Rad Reeling Fishing : so and so. I fish the surf and pier. But for casting purposes is good

[@wentfishing]

Where did you ordered center mag?

[@akocbombie]

Riyad Razzakov hi. I ordered my kit 5 years ago. gotdistancereel.com, his not on it anymore. But you can order at pimpmyreel. His a uk base guy.

You must be a Filipino kasi yung music mo. Sige huli kayo po ng machichibog 😆.

[@PimpMyReel]

Not difficult to empty a reel that size when you are using 40lb line that is around 0.65 diameter. You only had about 80 yards if the spool was full.... Impress me by doing it with 15lb 0.35 line (around 270 yards)... PS you forgot to mention the Akios handle with starless drag..... As for the wellies...really??? But the music was good!

[@akocbombie]

PimpMyReel : its a 14lbs suffix tangerine at cabelas

[@normkennedy4506]

Says 14 lb mono on the description, I think pmr meant try with 14 lb braid

[@billhanson8038]

jamie , be positive bud..

[@stevenjay6884]

PimpMyReel That’s exactly what I thought it empties in around 4 seconds that’s not 10lb mono it’s totally musleading

[@markmatthewson842]

You are hardly one to criticize anyone 🤣

[@josephybarra3555]

What was done to the Abu?

[@akocbombie]

Just bearing upgrades and center mag

[@josephybarra3555]

@@akocbombiewhere did you get your center mag brother

[@akocbombie]

@@josephybarra3555 it was given to me.

[@richardgarcia7295]

puede explicar en espanol.

[@peterchessell28]

Why have you not removed the levelwind?.

[@akocbombie]

peter Chessell: your a keen observer. Your the only one that make a comment on the levelwind. My point is that even with levelwind you can powercast this reel. Lots of “experts” make a quick comments on retaining the levelwind. Bearings and levelwind screw upgrades make a big dfrence specially with thus old reel design

[@whisperingblues9887]

@@akocbombie no you cannot power cast the reel with the level on the grip is dreadful and unsafe plus the fact you're losing about 45/50 percent on you're over all distance so get it off for power casting.

[@marlonmunoz4150]

That's pretty cool, keep up the good work and never mind the narrow minded hillbillies
