[@Exite21]

Just wanted to say I love your videos Taro! Your energy is contagious!

[@TaroMurata]

Ahhh🥰🥰🥰! So nice to hear!!! Happy new year my friend! Trying my best with what I have… I appreciate this! Keeps me going! 🙌👊🙌™️

[@thefishfinesser]

Taro my man! That deeper is legit I told you that you would love the ice fishing mode! Keep it up brother. Cheers to 2024

[@TaroMurata]

How is it in deeper water for ice fishing?

[@p.z6023]

The man. The legend. Doing legendary things! Andrews a gem also!

[@TaroMurata]

Like catching that random item 😂

[@chanleung6672]

The sign of a true fisherman...able to catch anything including battery packs. Time to buy a lotto tix! Awesome vid!

[@TaroMurata]

Right?!?? Gotta lottery ticket sitting in my truck window! Gonna check it today! Imagine if I won… KZbin vids everyday baby! 😂

[@derekboyce8707]

Taro, you are the man. So entertaining!

[@TaroMurata]

Haha thanks bruv! Working in my next vid now! Vid season baby!

[@dalbert4991]

CSO catching his lunch, Taro catching his juice!! What's going on lol.

[@TaroMurata]

Hahaha!!! I’m urban that way…

[@HenriVineFishing]

That little deeper case for the phone is excellent, I need one. I have the chirp + and can hardly see the phone screen once it's a little bright out. Good thing it floats too, haha! Fantastic collab with C&C!!

[@TaroMurata]

Phone case is fire. It’s gonna save me a lot of money. I use it without the sonar too when I’m on the boat now. Very good for everyday use when you’re on the water. Very impressed with it. No bs.

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

Looks like a neat little device there! As you said, for hopping around holes it's quite premium!! Quebec fisherpeople represent!! 🤙🍻🎣

[@TaroMurata]

Let’s go Jeeger! Appreciate you bruv! We’ll see how it does in the deep stuff. All I know for sure is not one thing is ever 100% perfect.

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

@@TaroMurata I don't like the fact it's on a phone, I can surely see the potential it has for such a compact setup though. Could be practical for shore anglers to cast out!

[@TaroMurata]

@@Jeeg_Quebec_CANI like the phone. You can still use it through the case. And you can keep it hardwired to a battery in the case. The case is the key. Otherwise it’ll be in the stink fast.

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

That would solve battery issues indeed..!!

[@TaroMurata]

@@Jeeg_Quebec_CANnever dies in the cold unless you soak it like I did…then the bird won’t charge it.

[@Ms123dave]

Finally some ice

[@TaroMurata]

Insanity! It’s warming up again. The boat it is I suppose!

[@timhurst2944]

Love that you are getting busy with the vids again Taro 🤙keep it up brother they are epic!

[@TaroMurata]

Thanks my man! This one isn’t doing so well. But it’s good to know that you actually like it! A frustrating ride at times 🤷😂

[@jam1324]

This video definitely changed my mind about deeper balls, thanks Taro!

[@TaroMurata]

Them balls are fire in shallow. Stay tuned for the deeper in the deeper.

[@thefishfinesser]

@@TaroMuratait’s money in the deep too. Flasher still has no delay. It’s all legit

[@TaroMurata]

@@thefishfinesserwhat’s the deepest you fished it in?

[@Oscar11060]

Love to see you having fun out on the ice. Still waiting for a good freeze in Michigan.

[@TaroMurata]

I’m hear ya!!! Hope you crack some big browns for me!!!

[@aaronalto3034]

Looking forward to the deep water Deeper performance review!

[@TaroMurata]

Me too 😂🙌🤞🤷

[@Marslures]

great area got over 14 inch crappie anytime you want to get out im local and fish the area often were on perch not far from there if youre interested when the main freezes better the walleye move up all winter also

[@TaroMurata]

Where are you located bruv?

[@Walleyekillerjigs]

Looks like a Nice portable..Fish catching machine👍 Thanks again for the Great content Taro

[@TaroMurata]

I think perfect for this scenario. I’ll try it out in some other situations. But for this fishing day it was just right I think.

[@timothyselvadurai4200]

Nice catch! Thanks for the vid, good Intel on the sonar too!

[@TaroMurata]

If you’re on foot and want to travel light … it’s mint for that.

[@bigj3086]

Good stuff Taro!

[@TaroMurata]

Thank you sir! Happy new year!!!

[@CastandConquer]

[@TaroMurata]

Thanks for the “message” Wally.😂

[@slabslayer258]

I’ll just watch ice fishing from a distance lol. And stay down here in East Texas lol . I know how to catching 1,000’s of open water crappie lol 😂

[@TaroMurata]

Haha don’t blame ya! Warmer too! Happy new year from the north!!!

[@slabslayer258]

@@TaroMurata yes I like cold for hunting . But I’ll pass on the ice thing lol . Happy new year too

[@TaroMurata]

@@slabslayer258same to you! Tried hunting for this first time this year. It was pretty cool hunting birds.

[@slabslayer258]

@@TaroMurata nice

[@TaroMurata]

@@slabslayer258 love how you half to identify them from far away. And you have to know the distance where you’ll get a decent shot. I have a vid of my first experience. It should be up next week. I went to Wisconsin with Apbassing for that.

[@aaronalto3034]

Will that battery thingy still work or is it junk since it got soaked? Hope it still works for you.

[@TaroMurata]

It still did but we were warm in there. You definitely need to keep it hardwired to a power supply in the cold IMO.

[@TaroMurata]

Great question… some dumb I didn’t talk about that in this vid. Sorry!

[@marsmilligan7146]

Love these vids Bud! High tech question - what do you look for in a drop shot rod?

[@TaroMurata]

For shallow water…. I like 6’10- 7’2 mlxf sorta thing. I would beef it up a bit in deeper water with heavier weights and heavier gauges hooks. But this answer is not that simple in reality. So many factors… weeds, species, water temp, line diameter…. All play a role. But that range I gave you is a great starting point.

[@marsmilligan7146]

@@TaroMurata appreciate that! Stay locked in on these scuffed vids

[@TaroMurata]
