Their store is way better in person than the intro shows. I was amazed at their level of knowledge & they will help every single customer given the chance. These people are legends and legends never die 🤩

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Wow, thank you very much! 🙏🍻

[@joeys7519]

Is Jeff drinking an orion in the store

[@jberry1979]

I've got the Ageha, Thunderbird and Dragoon, that's my flying somewhere to fish combos....but they feel so good I use them pretty much all the time.

[@luckyguliver]

It looks like you are the guy I am looking for :) Is Ageha well balanced? I have heard some opinions that Megabass not always pays attention to this "detali" What's the real casting weight? Would you use it for trout fishing?

[@dc5038]

Thanks 👍👍 for putting in the work to make these informative and entertaining videos. I watch every video that you drop and usually place an order after watching them and 2 days later I'm trying out what I ordered from you guys. Absolutely no doubt your products are 🔥🔥🔥 and I mentioned it before they have helped me elevate my fishing game.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Thank you for watching my friend! And thank you for your business! 👊

[@PROutdoors94]

Ordered the Ageha from you guys last night!! Super stoked for it to arrive!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

You’re going to love that rod man! Thank you for your business!

The Valkyrie World Expedition Multi Piece Rods for swimbaits is a game changer. No more having to angle the 8’ swimbait rod to fit in the car haha.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Exactly!!

As a travel rod user, leave in my trunk grab and go - I’m really interested in this I’ve used the Daiwa’s, okuma’s and 13 - but looking into a higher grade

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

This is how I got started with these rods too - keep one in my car. I've totally fallen in love with them now!

[@maxyu8822]

I got a triza hibali and my buddy got a lopros, can't wait adding a ageha to my arsenal!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

You’re going to love the Ageha!

[@SneakersAnonymousMatt]

You guys gotta come to jersey for some big striper bites. They act just like how u where catching em on with spook but just twice as big and loud. When they hit those top water baits it sounds like someone smacking hand on water hard as hell. Also Oliver ngy loves those 3 piece rods he has a whole bunch an he used em for saltwater and they held up very good so for freshwater they def will work very well.

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Definitely need to get out there for some stripers!

[@bayouburner281]

Topwater bites in the morning=Nothing better👌🏻

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Agreed!

[@KD-kf4zm]

24:44 180 grams is roughly 6.3 oz, not 10 oz as stated in the video, still quite a bit of weight.

[@mikem1738]

Cant wait for my 8xxh to show up, I've got 2 of the orochi 4 piece and they are fantastic. Never take em apart and feel better than some 1 piece

[@IxMxDizZzY]

Thoughts on the dragoon for throwing NLBN swim baits or metal spoons off the jetties for saltwater fare here in Florida? Snook, Red Drum, juvenile tarpon if you get lucky. That kinda bite.

[@IxMxDizZzY]

Commonly would use a surf rod for this kinda stuff so really I feel silly even asking now that I think about it lol

[@ReelAZMatt]

The Aello is my favorite rod of all time!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

That’s such a dope rod!!

[@IV-fad]

Going to get the Dragoon eventually. Between that and my little BFS Daiwa Wise Stream I’ll be able to travel anywhere with the rods and target everything.

[@sisufitness659]

how doe the 6'10 spinning world expedition compare to the ageha?

I need a fishing rod for minnow wobblers 8-14 grams, what is more suitable for this?

[@juancanon1459]

Do shimano reels no fit properly on the reel seat? I got a grils and paired it with a metanium. Doesn’t sit right in the seat. Anyone else have this problem?

[@kenchiu8887]

Yes, triza has the problem to fit some shimano’s reel.

[@chickenfriedsteak3669]

Badass poles! Thanks fer showin an sharin 'em amigo :) #BenForPresident

[@julienflores3410]

How small do the Valkyrie World Expedition Models break down to? Purchased the Triza lopros/grils from you guys and they're still too large to fit in a carry on bag unfortunately. I believe the 7'0'' lopros breaks down to around 28-29 inches. Curious whether the VKS-610 will break down to 21 or so. Probably going to pick up the Dragoon, or one of the Valkyries next pay check to round out my setup as I'm starting to kayak and multipiece is just too convenient.

[@bucac1213]

What are the guides made of? Just bought the Aello and is wondering?

[@Gbang9527]

Can you guys do a review on the windbuster?

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

It's amazing. Best spinning rod ever built.

[@mysero1188]

does the triza can handle the 3 oz lure weight ... whats his sweet spot 1.5 -2oz ?

[@gstixfishing9746]

Sick

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

So sick

[@glenandzekefuller1706]

Yup! Which model best mimics the Flyssa or Baby Pluggin’? That’s what I need and I need it to break down to about the same length as the four piece Jade orochi.

[@LastRODbender]

I assume when you pull the rods apart, you reverse the twist?

[@l_b-man]

That's exactly right. I switched completely to multi piece rods (4 pieces and up) because I like to travel for fishing. I primarliy fish 3 oz and up and I also have the VKC-80XXH-4 A couple of things: - Push and twist to assemble, twist and pull to disassemble - Never hold the pieces by the guides - you will bend them! - If you use more grip - use a neopren rod wrap to hold the blank - If you assemble the rod indoors (warm) you might not be able to take it apart in the cold (and vice versa). Let the rod warm up first. - Use ferule wax. 50/50 beeswax/petroleum jelly on the ferules will reduce ferule wear, prevent the ferules from slipping and locking up.

[@MrRobxc]

Would that XXH valkerie double as a saltwater boat rod for yellow tail?

[@TrueWord66]

Thanks for the video, I've been waiting and wondering if you guys would give more information on these rods or just pass em off. What's the lowest rating for the valkyrie 7'11? And do you think it can handle the saltwater fishery in Florida? No idea what fish though

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

It can definitely handle saltwater. We were fishing it last night talking about how dope it would be for flats and tarpon. I’d say 1oz realistic for lighter weight

[@TrueWord66]

@@thehookuptackle_usa Good to know, I'll be putting in an order soon. Do you think the new lexa tw 400 would fit it?

[@jeramanglers8472]

Dope video. Ben once you showed off the 80XXH expedition you made my wallet run and hide.

Haha! Geoff too!

[@baja1k]

Geoff will have to show that model off in a video slaying some big bass on big baits or a 1vs1 big bait challenge

[@baja1k]

How does the 80XXH do with larger jig hook swimbaits being that it’s a glass carbon rod?

[@PiperFishing]

What lake is this?

[@stoneysdead689]

What amazes me about this video isn't the fish you're catching or the rod you're using- it's the fact that you appear to be the only boat out there. Where live , north Alabama, anywhere you can catch even one you're gonna need to take a number to fish it. I find places all the time where no one is fishing- but then I fish them and find out why no one is fishing there- the fishing sux. Anywhere I find that's decent, and no one is fishing it- I have to be super careful not to fish it very often cause if ppl see you there over and over they're not stupid- they know you're catching fish. They don't bother asking because they know what I'm gonna tell them, even if I'm catching them left and right- "Nope, haven't caught a thing- this place sux. " - but like I said, they're not stupid- if that were true you wouldn't be there all the time.

[@scottleggejr]

They're at the party lake. At 2pm on a Saturday, you're better off catching gonorrhea than you are fish. It's awesome on weekdays though.

[@B.A.Bassangler]

$350 for a travel rod? I'm sure it's sweet, but gonna defer to Okuma for under-the-seat gear.

[@glenandzekefuller1706]

That Okuma Citrix is great. I bought a four piece orochi xxx and immediately gave the Citrix to my son. Looking at a triza to go with the orochi. The orochi is in the $250 range. It’s night and day different. I haven’t taken the orochi apart, yet. Fish it every day. The Okuma only got used when I travelled. Look at the orochi!

[@thehookuptackle_usa]

Cool. Some people like elevated performance from their multi piece rods. These are for those people.
