First Time Fishing with a 13 Fishing Origin A Baitcaster!!

[@lisatwitchell403]

So glad you showed loosening the hook in the soft bait. I do it all the time and it really helps with hookups. If anybody's been reading my comments they know I have to fish sitting down in special boat seat so I can't set the hook like you can standing on a boat deck or on the shore. I use a finer wire hook, loosen the hook in the bait like your show, and use some of the softest bait I can find. They don't hold up like some of the other less soft baits but they work for me because of my disability. Keep on fishing and keep it Realistic! 🎣👩‍🦳

[@backintofishing6716]

Saturday morning, a cup of coffee, and a great relaxing video.

[@dubcityallstar7409]

Awesome choice man!!! I switched over to all 13 rods and reels and have never been happier, wait until you get 100% comfortable with it and turn the brakes to zero and just let the lures fly!!!

[@Do0msday]

Not a bad looking reel. I sometimes shy away from brands that aren't quite as popular, but you can be pleasantly surprised at times. I do have a few brands that aren't as widely known because they've served me well. It all depends on the person and that's why I *hate* when people judge others based on what brand they use. Props to you for always being willing to try new things instead of being set in your ways.

[@RealisticFishing]

#notsponsored I dont give a %$#@ what brand people fish with. 😂

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Nice rod......nice bass... and bonus fishing lure!! 👍👍 awesome day!!

[@NIghthorseGrows]

Man nice casting to hook that crankbait. That's Impressive.

Nice, I just picked up the Chrome combo baitcaster yesterday!

Thanks Suellen 😀

[@imonyoutube8801]

Just started using a baitcaster today ... I have a 13 origin TX . I couldn’t get the breaks to change so I it’s still on 0 . Barley got any birdnest and that’s my first time and I suck at fishing and was on a kayak for the second time . Ima go out tomorrow and try changing the break to 3 . Truly recommend these reels , super strong and smooth

[@Ridg76]

TN-a beautiful state. Thumbs up!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Mark!

[@lisatwitchell403]

I very rarely watch any other fishing show but I saw one that really caught my eye the other day. It showed using a straight hook instead of the wide gap, offset worm fishing hooks that most people use. He was a guide and made 2 points the first was when you put a straight shank hook in a worm the point is angled up out of the worm instead of straight forward along the worm making it more likely that the hook will pull out and give you a hook set. I have found this to be true myself. The second was getting the smoothest presentation of the worm you can possibly get and anything that might catch on grass, wood, rocks the should be avoided. He pointed out that the offset can catch on things and that using a bobber stopper holding a worm weight in place also increases the chance of it hanging up in grass. I've never even heard of using a bobber stop to keep a weight from moving away from the worm.

[@chopstix77]

Just got my Origin A. Can't wait to try it out. That's a nice Sally. Feisty.

[@louisweckesser1704]

Good video Alex I enjoyed watching your vacation videos also,I figured I would comment on them when you came back and did a bass video congrats on the 2 pound bass on the new rod and reel,no skunk on it anymore.

[@RealisticFishing]

skunk free!

[@northernshaver3111]

Awsome kit and awsome catch Alex keeping it realistic

[@josephnywayfarer1345]

Nice Bass, great way to break in a new reel. I have the Origin C which is the aluminum framed version of that reel. The colors are reversed. Reel is white and the knobs are black. The white knobs get filthy fast. I don’t know what 13 Fishing was thinking when they made them...

[@RealisticFishing]

Maybe they were thinking people like filthy white knobs

[@lupiaan2021]

Cool episode, all kinds of stuff happening!

Thats Realistic!

Did I just hear a shoutout to my boy Charles HOOKEM IN THE MOUTH?! 😂 That boat at 2:30 must have been running on the leafblower setting. Hell of a nice free crankbait!

[@HopskysLounge]

Nice bass!! That looks like a nice reel! Looks like a nice crankbait you got at the end!

[@RealisticFishing]

Nice things all over the place!

[@thomaslanders1162]

Nice fish. That looks like a good setup. I know any reel/rod can catch fish but I also know a good rod makes a big difference feeling light bites/pickups. I have a G. Loomis and St Croix that are incredibly sensitive. They both have Shimano reels. Expensive but the rods are 15 plus years old and the reels about 10. I've got 100's or more bass on each rod. In the long run it was worth the money.

[@dylant4737]

Thomas Landers I agree the rod length and sensitivity can help feel a bite, but the very first rod and reel that I owned was a $21.00 Ugly Stik spinning combo from Sports Authority (RIP Sports Authority, most of them have closed down in my town). And I think that reel preforms better than my more pricey ones sometimes, because I got that rod when I was 10 years old, I turned 22 last Sunday and that reel is still working. The rod did deteriorate but with line change and keeping it clean and oiled that’s still catch a catfish.

[@thepsrs5627]

That’s a nice reel, and thanks for the advice on the Texas rig. I caught four on back-to-back casts.

[@RealisticFishing]

Nice!

[@lanceaineyfishing]

I know this video is fairly old, but I was actually on the fence about this reel to replace one that I bought to test out. And this video convinced me to purchase. Thank you for literally living your channel's title! Subbed as well!

[@FoulMouthFishing]

I have two identical " ONE 3 " fishing origin LTE reels myself . im not a newer name brand flavor of the month type of shopper but i have been pleasantly surprised at the reels performance and as i got them several months ago on sale at Dicks ($30.00) the price point worked out well. hope your origin A shows equal value and quality over the time you fish with it.

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope so too 👍

[@martinthefisherman]

Great Video!!!! TIGHT LINES!!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks!

[@robertraney2067]

I have the same reel. I like it alot. It is quite nice to cast with 12 lb mono. I have green triline on mine

In the snoot for sure 🍺

[@jasonallen1590]

I got the combo. The Defy Wgite rod with that reel. I started with the brake on 0 perfect for spoons and heavy baits. I didnt know how to adjust the brake though.

[@samuelwarden6285]

Hey Alex how did you like it compared to your abu garcia ultra max reel? Im glad you got one 🎣 👊👍.

[@RealisticFishing]

The Ultra Max is a little more broken in so I can't really compare them. However it did well for its first time out.

[@josealv1970]

This is the right way to review a reel. I don’t like open box reviews. Good job!

Thats a pretty good looking reel. and a nice bass on it too man, nice job. And a new lure lol. I love finding lost lures like that. awesome vid homie

[@jamesfoster9254]

I have a 13 rod that I love. Never tried their reels. Now I think I will

[@RealisticFishing]

maybe start cheap, this reel was $58

[@chrislour8938]

I was going to pick up a similar model and i didn’t like the side opening. I’m kind of rough with my gear and I didn’t think it would last me a while. On the other hand we picked up some cheap walmart baitcasters on sale and also pink lol and they have been killing it, i caught catfish and a bunch of small bass on them. Fish on man.

[@garylaforge8677]

[@pappawshane1556]

One bass and one lure caught. Sounds like a good day fishing.

[@RealisticFishing]

Not bad at all

[@old-timeangler5356]

Looks like a good combo.

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@YankeeBigBird]

I'm curious, what knot do you use? Fisherman's knot, Improved Clinch Uni? I am asking because I only trust the Palomar for most of my rigs. Spent my early years losing fish from broken knots. Had hard strikes then nothing. After reeling in, there was a pig tail at the break. I was using Uni-knots at the time. Learned about the Palomar 20+ years ago and have Never had a "knot break" since. Had line breaks but I haven't had a pig tail since the mid 90's!

[@RealisticFishing]

I use improved clinch for mono and palomar for braid.

[@jessemedinajr1485]

Nice looking reel and cool looking crank bait. Seems a little to much a deep diving CB for that shallow water.

[@RealisticFishing]

Yep, probably a beginner out there struggling.

[@imdjaymac8399]

I was wondering yesterday if you still had alot of the 13 gear your purchased I couldn't hold out that long without using them lol!

[@RealisticFishing]

I use the spinning combo all the time 👍

[@imdjaymac8399]

Yeah I see that one I thought you got a pretty nice 13 reel in one of your videos was always wondering what happened to it lol!

[@rbrooke2379]

Sweet free crankbait! I picked up a rooster tail yesterday in similar fashion (with 30 feet of line)

[@nategfishes9990]

[@hitnmiss49]

That's a nice looking rod and reel. It performed very good from what I can see.

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Nice looking real. I like it. Also worth the bit of water to get that crank.

[@koreywilliams4570]

I just got my first baitcaster ever Abu Garcia black max for like 25 bucks at walmart. Never used one before but I'm starting to like it. Still trying to figure out all the knobs on it. I found the drag and I think the magnetic brakes but I'm not sure what the 3rd one does.

[@jefferystovall6868]

I see you like crawl type soft plastics. I like using the yum crawl. The legs have action and vibration.

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@todd0585]

Best budget reel on the market other than lews in my opinion! Keep it realistic!

[@RealisticFishing]

I like the Lews as well. We will have to see how they stack up

[@134rwa]

Adjusting it was a snap, from the middle setting it gives room to see how light you can go without a backlash.

[@kevinsandells9933]

Would like to see more of the 13 reel. I guess there is some mixed opinions on it. Looks like an awesome reel. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks. Be safe

[@RealisticFishing]

There are mixed opinions about everything in life 😉

[@YankeeTankerOutdoors]

love that you went to go get that CB...

[@calebj.4756]

God bless spread his word!

[@lisatwitchell403]

Have a question; which one of the craws you use seems to be the softest and your opinion? I have trouble with some of the stiffer plastic lures and I hate to buy a bunch of different cross just to find the one that will provide the easiest hookset. You've convinced me I should try them along with the other soft baits I use.

[@RealisticFishing]

Rage craws are probably my favorite

[@lisatwitchell403]

[@Fishingwithfaithoutdoors23]

I fine crank baits all the time on the bank. I never have to buy them! Lol tight lines brother!

[@tony2800]

So I have a question I've gone through maybe half the line on my bait caster is it better to tie on new line with the double oni knot or is it best to just to fully respool it? My concern is the double uni knot causing issues

[@RealisticFishing]

Since I use line that costs $1.75, I replace all of the line.

It sounds like its not set up correctly for what you are trying to cast.

[@NathanB417]

That's entirely possible, I managed to get it to cast half decent (not very far) with a pretty heavy Carolina rig then backlashed it super bad and I think its somewhere still all tangled up lol

[@antareslonghorn6943]

Henlo sir, iam sorry for my bad english. Iam your new viewrs from overseas country, may i ask? I looking BC reels can throw easily long cast 5gr to 15gr lure (minnow, stick bait, wtd, popper etc) First i think slx xt is good, then my friend tell me about slx mgl 70, and then other friends tell the mew curado mgl 150 or 70. Now i got confused hahaha. Then 13 fishing came up... I saw this budget reel. Whats your reccomendation? I use 10lb rod for fish hampala. Thanks before.
