Japanese Casting Reel With a Digitial Chip? --Unboxing/Review

[@1Rod1ReelFishing]

NEVER GIVE UP!!! XD btw, props on getting this vid up so freakin fast, based on ur txt message you got that reel about 6 hours ago!

[@JonBrollin]

+1Rod1ReelFishing filmed, edited, and posted today! Thanks for watching Mike, see you Friday!

[@BobikTX]

You guys are my favorite KZbin fishermen

[@lukeventry5446]

Can you recommend a solid first bait casting reel?

[@shihrotakama431]

+Luke Ventry Hey man I'm no pro fisherman but 1rod1reel recommended the Abu Garcia Black Max reel to me and I have to say I have never felt better. It's really inexpensive for how well it runs and I have only once gotten a backlash on it! I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a first baitcasting reel, it was my first!

[@lvitntnmrcls]

+BobikTX same here

[@marcelahurtado4100]

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

[@iAznEggroll]

It’s so cool coming back here and watching these old videos like I did back in high school

[@filmandskateKT]

I feel like you should reel JDM reels with your opposite hand

[@Rush-qr1ve]

Most people won’t get it

[@239peytonn7]

Rhd

[@oskar.h3227]

😂

[@buckhavoc3344]

Haha I got it

[@runnerturner]

Currently in the NAVY stationed in Pensacola, Florida, and I watch your videos daily. They make me miss bass fishing back in Louisiana, and now I fish saltwater, which is way different. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to when I finally get to go back to Louisiana though!

[@JonBrollin]

+James Turner That is so awesome James! Thanks for the support. My family lives close to Pensacola Beech in Perdido Key so I'm familiar with the area. Thanks for your service and thanks for watching!

[@justreelingthemin4154]

So awesome! I was pumped on how stoked you were to get it. Happy for you, bro! Can't wait to see that bad boy in action!

[@JonBrollin]

+Just Reeling Them In Thanks dude, me too! Going to break it in this Friday.

[@justreelingthemin4154]

Sweet! Looking forward to watching that vid!

[@stevenswm9844]

Your videos are getting better…I guess I would say, more professional. You present yourself and everything you do in such a personal genuine way…but that is the way professionals work, as the goal is for the finished product to be as if the audience is actually there in the midst of the video…and you kinda pull that off! Today, that was sheer heartfelt anticipation for that reel, and one couldn’t help but get caught up in the unfolding drama! Plus, you tend to throw in a bit of humor, which makes it all the better! So, high praise for how you put these episodes together! Don’t stop!

[@motomav238]

StevenSWM that was so inspirational. 👏

[@TylersReelFishing]

"Check out this avocado" hahaha😂😂😂

[@weouchhere9338]

TylersReelFishing your not lake fork guy. Stop.

[@larsizzlejenkins4068]

Any 2021 viewers? Had to come back and see little jon b and this sick reel would be cool to see if he still has it.

[@palletjack612]

I feel ya. Decades ago as a teenager I saved up and bought on lay-by, first generation Cardinal 3 and 4 spinning reels. Plus ultra at the time. Not skirted, by still, to this day, really nice reels. I had been wearing out average reels every few months at the time. I never looked back from the best.

[@JonBrollin]

+palletjack612 That is awesome. Something so great about being able to save up to get the reel you ACTUALLY want opposed to the one is just "ok."

[@michaels5809]

Wow man I remember these videos 5+ years ago when got into fishing and it was gaining traction on yt.Crazy times now.

[@fishmaster2272]

dude that is SICK!! I might invest in one and BTW I love how clear and good your vids look and sound

[@JonBrollin]

+Fish Master22 Thank you!

[@dylanwilliams4556]

you had me at " reduced backlash" lol

[@jeremiahjohnson2881]

Experience helps

[@ants_arizona98]

Ive been watching your videos for a while and saw this in the to watch videos and this was actually the first video of you ive ever watched haha

[@hookedup]

That reel is sick! So is this video. Nice work man!

[@johnechterhoff4791]

The DC that I bought 10 years ago is the "Round" series (silver/gray color) and I love it. It flies across the sky when I want it to but I have so many other cast and spinning Shimano reels and because I don;t want to scratch it, I put it up locked in a safe, secure, secret place where it will probably sit until I die. I had a nightmare once where I was fishing off of a causeway in Rockport, TX (at night) and when I went to whaylay it,out from 14 feet off the water, I accidently let go and never saw it again. Hope you enjoy your reel! LOL!

[@Inshoreangler-ps6mw]

You mean the calcutta te dc?, i have one too, i love it!

[@PivotalG]

":Check out this avocado". Best part of this video.

[@JonBrollin]

+Ryan Getchell It was a free avocado.

[@rednecknation2904]

Jon B. that avocado was just chillin

[@motomav238]

Jon B. I would love to fish with you , and we should.

[@jnelson16701]

I'm anxious to see your review of this reel after you use it in the water. This is my second video of yours that I watched and now I'm a subscriber. Keep up the good work.

[@RiverGoatOutdoors]

Full digital reel episode?! I always wanted a Metanium myself! I honestly just found a shimano chronarch on a falcon rod today at a pawn shop in Kansas picked it up and left with it for $30

[@triggerhappyreviews]

If you live in nelsonville, that's awesome. I went to OU and live in Washington County. Ever fish the AEP strip mines?

[@SoFloCamejo]

"Is it Jdm bro?" "Yeah, it's an r34 gtr" -every other kid in the States.

[@JonBrollin]

Being that I'm into cars too this made me laugh haha, thanks for watching.

[@haydensanson1158]

R32s are better

[@salty_steak_2743]

It's crazy to see where you are now I remember this was the first vid I ever watched of yours back in like 2016 when my family was moving betweens houses man y'all have been an inspiration and done a hell of a lot for the fishing community and me personally ❤️🗣️💯😈

[@117773357]

Jon B could you do a video comparing the dc casting reels to normal casting reels?

[@Washman-jw3hl]

lol. dude your so intense when opening that reel. I love New fishing hardware . love your video editing in all your videos. keep up the good work.

[@JonBrollin]

+matthew wetmore Haha thanks man! I felt like a little kid again opening up that package.

[@alexhoadley6814]

Jon B. was this reel used. I want to save up for an antares dc its 369.00 but you have to use PayPal but anyways the reel is still good just a few scratches what do you think

[@duleyable]

Jon B. doesn't 1rod use a reel like this, cause that sound of the reel sounds fermiliar

[@alexhoadley6814]

Ryan Duley yeah I see what you mean but it is to late anyways I got the excense dc

[@Midmobassin]

hey jon. great vid. a tip for a quiet spot to film, go to the creek and or pond in the back woods. i was wondering if you would ever like to come to missouri and go fish with me and a friend and film for our channels.

[@Thecoolguy61114]

What fishing line are you using with your Shimano Metanium DC7?

[@JamesSchuttFishing]

That reel looks sick! I'm an Abu Garcia guy but I might start looking at shimono.... And yet again, good work Jon! Big fan.

[@JonBrollin]

+James Schutt Definitely should! Thanks James!

[@ratdog3055]

Neat reel, will be interesting to see how it performs on the water. I also do woodworking as well as fishing. It took me a year to save up for a good oscillating spindle sander. But it was worth the wait. 1st [\project? Sanding jerkbait bodies, what else? Tight lines!

[@GeorgeSchwab]

#1 you make great videos. #2 there is nothing better than being in college. Live it up my friend. It's the best!

[@JonBrollin]

+George Schwab Word. Thanks so much George!

[@Iron_Hooligan]

hey man just noticed you were at hocking college haha I was their a year after you it look like you lived in north hall I was on the 2nd floor I believe room 213 been watching you for a while now it was cool to see that you went to the same school as I did!!!

[@FlippinBass101]

Have you ever thought about geting the scorpion dc?

[@MkayKeller43]

Great video Jon! The time in editing is greatly appreciated!

[@MaRrepr00]

That is an alien monster casting reel man. Great find!

[@tylerminami2139]

Jon's reel game is hella strong!!!

[@aj06bolt12r]

Watching this in April 21... you have come a long way Jon B.

[@extremephillyfishing]

1:49 -- That is so true! When I do it around the public, folks always think that I am a retarded or crazy Asian kid on the street. LOL. By the way, I am totally with you on 7:00. As I have mentioned on your instagram post, I got a Shimano Antares DC 7 for my father back in the days. Japanese products are just the bomb! All my rods and reels are either daiwa or shimano, with a few exceptions (i.e. ugly stik, st. croix). When it comes to lures, I am a big fan of Lucky Craft, Mega Bass, etc. And Senkos are a killer. And Gary Yamamoto is Japanese. Lol.

[@Chief_Kevin]

Sorta dumb question, but what is the digital chip?

[@calebdachenhausfishing9490]

That's sick dude! You looked like a toddler on Christmas!😂😂😂 I keep replaying 3:58-4:00

[@JonBrollin]

+PondBassmaster Haha thanks man!

[@Tywithay]

I've fished several of the DC reels. Some are more for backlash control, like the Scorpion, and the Metanium. They're awesome, but don't offer much different than their non-DC counterparts. If you get the Calais DC or Calcutta TE DC, they're distance monsters.

[@leofisher9608]

If your really interested in accurate casting reels I highly suggest the Daiwa Zillion. It's an all around great reel for functionality and accuracy.

[@ttg9968]

Jon is the D.C. Better than the new one and how heavy is it am thinking on getting one

[@brandoncasey7936]

Hi I am wondering if a medium/medium fast 7'3" rod would be good for treble hook lures like lipless cranks and squarebills. Thanks

[@JonBrollin]

+Brandon Casey That's a good length for those baits if you plan on making long casts. I use my 7' 3" Medium for deep cranking.

[@kalebbeck7307]

What does the digital do that makes it special

[@dilloncoffman4814]

Does the reel auto reel back in the line, and if it does would it keep going if it brought the lure or whatever bait your using back in until it breaks your line?

[@jarnlufishing6707]

Im looking into getting a dc reel and i want to know if the dc chip "runs out of juice"

[@uknowndesire8019]

I just graduated from buffalo grove highschool. It's cool to know someone like yourself be close by

[@chasejohnson939]

I'm convinced you make your own beats if you don't your beat selection is amazing keep it up

[@JonBrollin]

+chase johnson I wish! Maybe in the future, all the music I use is from very talented artists on Soundcloud. I leave all the links in the descriptions.

[@mikehamm007]

How does the reel compare and is it actually worth it? Did not see a follow up video, thanks and tight lines!

[@Only10cents]

where do you fish when you're back home. Noticed the hoodie and want to know some other fishing spots around here.

[@GabooNx]

Does the cast charge the chip? What happens when chip goes bad.

[@imDISRUPTED]

I love this video! You should do more fishing videos with this reel!!

[@garynolen1677]

yes how much and were did u get it

[@gooutandfish2809]

Could you throw 2-4 oz swimbaits on a metanium or would that possibly damage the reel?

[@juanrodriguez7023]

Hey Jon, would you sell any of the old reels you don't use anymore?

[@carterbotz6555]

How is the reel in the video right retrieve and in the thumbnail it's left

[@IYNFYL]

What does the knob do on the side?? I have the Shimano scorpion dc7

[@TechMechMen]

I've owned some DC reels and they work incredibly good, the only problem is that if the chip breaks you can't use the reel at all and replacing the chip is quite expensive.

[@JonBrollin]

+TechMechMen Yikes, how do you not break the DC chip?

[@TechMechMen]

+j0j0barz33 I honestly don't know, I take very good care of my reels, but I suppose water seems to find its way in the reel then into the chip. I only had one of my DC reel chip break once, but it really sucks because all you can do is not to cast with the reel, otherwise you'll get backlash all the time. I now put my DC reels in a ziplock bag with some silica gel after cleaning them: that seems to get the moisture out of hard to reach places. Works for me. Also a great method to use when you drop your phone in the water, that saved me so many iPhones.

[@suburbanangling]

Hey I couldn't help but notice your sweater that says Saint Viator Football. I actually played for their youth program and now I'm moving into highschool. Basically what I'm wondering is are you around that the St. Viator area to fish sometime?

[@JonBrollin]

+fishingtheeast I went to SV.

[@UndergroundAirsoft1]

+j0j0barz33 what year did you graduate. I attend svhs right now. Also on the football team

[@bigbeef29]

I actually go to Marist, I assume your talking about st. Viator near Chicago?

[@bryantjames559]

Do you know John Eustice? he was the Youth ministry coordinator i believe...

[@DIYFlyFishing]

what would a good rod size and type of reel be for casting lighter cranks and spinners because what I mainly use right now is a semi crappy (not referring to the type of fish) mega cast bass pro shops rod and reel combo and it is terrible at casting light baits and only lets me get good casts with heavier baits like jigs, spinners, chatterbaits, ect...

[@onepumpchump09]

haha love your videos man. wish I could get out on the lake with you! unfortunately im in Canada lol. keep pumping them out. take care.

[@kyrankeener9870]

Does it help reduce backlash

[@peytondardenne6242]

Should I buy a used metanium dc or a used scorpion dc?

[@andrewportlock2714]

I have a question what reel is that with the purple handle that thing is sick

[@bubbakoss5049]

I like to see follow up review. What do you think since you have used it??

[@JonBrollin]

+Bubba Koss It is pretty awesome, on a rare occasion it makes an offbeat noise when I cast but I believe that is just the breaks kicking in when they shouldn't be. Other than that I like it.

[@thecreekcrawler]

I love the fact I live here in japan and have 4 fishing shops within walking distance of my house. they truly are the best at designing and creating fishing lures and equipment.! I'm going to have some great stuff to bring back home when I am finished here. the only unfortunate thing is if I want to catch LMB I have to take almost a 3 hour train ride to catch the big ones.! and 2 hours for SMB ..so I am stuck catching seabass for the time being.

[@ST4R1SM1NE]

why not get the Metanium DC 15?

[@pregnantcow7739]

For cranking I'm thinking about getting a Abu Carcia veritas 7'3" medium heavy with a lew's Mach 1 reel and 16lb fluorocarbon line. Thoughts?

[@PlayerrTw0]

What was the price of the metanium you just got? The 2008

[@CheakyPete]

How do you like the reel i have been thinking of getting one for myself

[@DrMAlo]

You would love the new Shimano Anteras DC 16 that just came out. If you are ever back in Ohio or Michigan, let me know. You can try mine out. It's also from Japan.

[@ilovehonda20]

Hey bro why doesn’t shimano use the heavier drag options?

[@heathschwab]

nice looking reel you still use the reel. or did you retire it. hope I find the videos of you fishing it. god bless.

[@bobleeswagger7854]

SO I GOT THE SAME ONE WHAT KIND OF LINE SHOULD I USE

[@tiffanymaynard1095]

Jon do u fish with both right and left hand fishing reels

[@coreyg5372]

do you fish tournaments for your school or any tournaments in general

[@Bassniper]

Nice video and enjoy your new reel. Also behold for the new Antares DC that's coming out in 2016~~after 10 years.

[@charlesmartinez8816]

Do bouth make that sound when you cast or onley the dc

[@Sevelan]

Thumbsup for Avacado!

[@JonBrollin]

+Bob Hammond Ye ye!

[@cincinnatus0875]

Just got a Metanium hg dc. The instructions are in Japanese only! Any idea where I can find English instructions? Awesome videos keep it up!

[@loading876]

JDM...I thought you meant cars

[@Bbbbbbturnnernner4]

For the one with the chip do you use an app for it?

[@john_gaines0292]

Your videos look pretty professional and I really like your vlogs man... Keep up the good work. 😉

[@MRFLIP]

did you leave your knife on the truck?

[@charlesgurnea2004]

What year is that dc and does it have that wonderful wind i also buy nothing but Japan reels love them

[@camdennorwine7304]

You should review the No.8 tackle blackout rod

[@BlooregardQKazoo-kr5xe]

Did you go to St. Viator for high school? Great video as usual -- your editing at the beginning of the video was really good.

[@JonBrollin]

+Blooregard Q. Kazoo Yes I did, and thanks!

[@jrmartinez3830]

fishing game on 1,000 now! ppl need to realize that his KZbin is based mostly about fishing... so of course he is excited, ik I would. keep the great videos and tips coming brother👊👍🎣🎣🎣

[@JS-iu7cy]

What are some of those good older Shimano reels that you speak of?

[@b_rad556]

Jon B. Where do you order the digital reels

[@damian-rq9kg]

what kind of line do you normally use for your baitcasters, it looks green and its braided im pretty sure but idk what lb test it is or company, because I need good line but not that expensive.

[@JonBrollin]

+DAMIAN DAMIANAREX For braid I use Sunline FX2 55lb. If you're talking about that weird green and clear line I use thats Sunline's Flipping FC Fluorcarbon 22lb. Hope that helps!

[@damian-rq9kg]

Thanks a lot I'm going for pike with steel wire at the end with a live target bluegill any tips?

[@matthewbarringer7344]

What type of line are you using on the new reel???

[@charlesgurnea2004]

I bought a scorpion dc 11 can u help with the functions

[@chreim20]

Welcome to the dc world! I have the shimano exsence dc and love it. I think that frame, which is the chronarch 100d frame is the best they ever made, probably why it's been in production so long. I'd like to know how much you met dc reel weighs if I could? thanks in advance and welcome back to shimano, lol

[@JonBrollin]

+spook2fluke Totally agree with you, they are super ergonomic and in my opinion are the best looking frame. The Met. DC weighs 195kg/6.9oz. Thanks for watching by the way.

[@chreim20]

+j0j0barz33 I agree, best looking reels!

[@jamescarlson9051]

does it take battery's if not how is the chip powered

[@ksomoso]

Your editing has gotten better. Similar to CaseyNeistat. You're getting better as you go along. On another side note, what baitcast reel do you recommend under $100? I been using spinning reels when i surf fish and i started getting into freshwater a couple months ago. I use a 6'6" rod and just got a cheap academy brand baitcast reel. I been practicing and my backlashes are getting less and less. I still can't figure out how to do overhand cast but forehand/backhand i'm great at now (used to play tennis). Keep it up man! Totally subbed now :)

[@JonBrollin]

+Kane Somoso Thanks Kane, Casey is a legend. He makes some of these best Vlogs hands down. I would look into the less expensive Lew's or the Daiwas for bait casters under $100. Thanks for watching man!

[@westcoastfishingbrossuarez7436]

dope bro! i love watching your videos they are so helpful and i have learned alot about bass fishing. thanks keep up the good work!!

[@JonBrollin]

+Eddie Suarez Will do, thanks Eddie!

[@chrisarmstrong5389]

what would one look up if looking for this kind or this reel

[@JonBrollin]

+Chris Armstrong I did that for you! Info about this reel is in the video description.

[@zachreymorrison1362]

were there any import duties or tariffs applied when you bought the reel? if so how much did the charge?

[@thepondangler4746]

Late to the vid but What do you think is the best part about the reel

[@urielperez8059]

were do you get your casting reels
