Buying the CHEAPEST Fishing Reel in EVERY STORE so you don't have to!!

[@lojofishing]

You guys hit the like goal!! Here's the paddle boat video...as promised 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2GsnYGvgJp7b5o

[@jasonlopez4855]

The Lew's skeleton reel will grab the line and wrap it up good in the bale. I've had that problem before but is a thing even worse with thinner 6 lbs monofilament line gets better with thicker 12 lbs monofilament line.

[@lojofishing]

I’ll give all of these reels away if anybody wants them 🤷‍♂️ I’ll pick 3 random subscribers who comment below 🫡

[@bradywomble3638]

I’d love em!

[@urdaddy9377]

I want em

[@243gaming8]

Don't buy that paddle boat, get the bass pro one. It has a canopy.

[@chicagolegend4412]

Want the Shimano

[@chicagolegend4412]

All my reals are terrible

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

I mentioned it in another video but I've been getting back into watching fishing and came back to ur channel and you've jump started the motor for me wanting to fish again after 2 yrs of not throwing a single lure. I've busted the gear out n lined the reels and tied on lures to hit the water. Thanks Lojo 👍🏼

[@analogoutdoors]

I have an old Shimano FX400I've had 30 years. Still works flawlessly. Older design, no instant antireverse, and heavy, so I don't use it anymore, but it served for decades with zero issues.

[@escapetherace1943]

I'm using an older spinner too, but from Okuma..... thing just keeps going for years, lol and it is still smooth as silk. They don't build stuff now the same honest

[@jakecronerneorth]

1:43 ill be waitin on that boat vid

[@jonathanhamby6528]

Don't know anything about that zebco but I've used the other two. I used that lews reel on crappie set up, it felt great but didn't hold up long the drag got super finicky pretty quick and the spring that operates the bell broke. That shimano on the other hand has held up great for me, ive used it for over a year. I think that shimano is a really good budget reel.

[@anthonyimirian8363]

The shimano fx 2500hg is a great reel. It has a smooth drag and it even has a 6.2.1 gear ratio. Can’t go wrong with the shimano

[@gucciisaac8920]

I’m going to buy it right now

[@korycolorado]

Got my first wacky rig bass yesterday. I'm a little behind...but making progress!

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Good deal. I caught some dinks at my buddies pond today on a wacky Yamamoto. Lost about a three pounder when it jumped.

[@lojofishing]

Heck yeah dude, wacky rigging is a fun way to catch em!!

[@Jake_2010]

I mostly fish a wacky it dang sure attracts them

[@samgraham4608]

Let's goo representing the die hard spinning fishers out there like me 30 yrs and have never touched a bait caster thank u lojo

[@Grant_Reynolds]

Glad to see you still in good spirits after the last video. Thanks for another one. Keep em coming 🤙

[@Tom-lc3ng]

I have 2 of those Shimano 2500 's ...yes they are cheap but they are great reels...I fish lake Okeechobee at least 5 days a week, and have regularly caught 5lb plus bass and catfish...the 20 dollar Shimano 2500 s have never let me down, after 2 years they still perform flawless

[@JamesHutcherson-wl3wt]

You should buy the paddleboat and take it in the pond

[@javierlongoria-k5j]

I’ve heard of that Shimano reel from Walmart is good

[@Benjeronald]

Great videos man i love your channel keep up the hard work

[@nickeli12]

I personally have the lews Mr.trout, been using it on my 6’ medium light rod for a little while now and I absolutely love it, even got a solid 4 pounder on it.

[@miztatone918]

So we just skipping over the 10 dollar okumah spinning reel then at the 4.52 mark in the bottom right corner with the big on sale sign 🤔

[@kevinjackson8131]

That what I'm saying....

[@lojofishing]

Dude…I must be blind 😂

[@knycu8820]

I might be wrong but I think its not fo 10$ its gonna be like 50$ like the one above it and the sign says save 10$ so its actually like 40$. But idk man

[@teeroux]

Walmart also has the combo rod reel rack. There's usually a 10ish dollar poverty combo. Lol

[@jasonp3964]

It says “SAVE $10” not it’s $10

[@kevinjackson8131]

What about the $10 special at 4:42? Come on, buddy, you know you saw it! Going forward, you could do a biggest discount fishing combo. Gotta hit that clearance aisle!

[@RonSnow23]

Said save 10 dollars, doesn't mean the reel is 10 bux

[@terryratliff3991]

Buy the paddle boat Lojo I would love to see you and Andrew in that thing!!! 😂😂

[@andrewschwab9748]

he did it

[@AdamJSun]

That paddle boat will be a great video but also probably very fun to have for the backyard pond

[@envy8747]

So much fun after a long day of work to sit down and watch some Lojo 😎

[@dominichammond6967]

Fr bro

[@nickironman74]

Love the vids bro, literally help me spark the passion I have for fishing sooo, thank ya bro❤

[@gabrielgonzalez3930]

The fact you are willing to give without thought of reward, makes you human.❤

[@roberthern1111]

Cheapest reel? Lojos hand line..😂😂 😂

[@lojofishing]

😂 good point!!

[@miles_f]

It's crazy to see the variety Lews makes, I have a $300 Lews Custom Lite Speed Spool, and 3 $170 Tournament XP's. I can now say I have seen a $20 Lews reel and a $500 Lews reel.

[@orlandosegovia6031]

Love the videos always look forward to seeing them after a long day of work

[@taturtotmorrison2807]

25:56 my 80s ryobi reel I got for free was doing that till I took it apart and greased it and adjusted the drag. Smooth as butter now 😎

[@PauliesFishingAdventure]

You are a great guy Lojo. Keep up the great work brother! You should add Yeshua to your content. Use your platform to preach the Gospel ! ✝️✝️✝️🙏🏼

[@beardedfalconer1173]

Would make me like this channel even more

[@hansensmith236]

Love your stuff please don’t stop! God bless you man

[@Must_Be_Luck]

Well that confirms all the reviews saying how easy the googan rods break, and the ease how how lojo broke the rest of that tip to make it usable..... snapped like a twig.

[@jcmickeyd1225]

Honestly 😬

[@grantvicknair]

Ok

[@JJsComicStuff]

Idk I have had 3 Googan Green Series rods for 4 years now, I bought a Go-To, Reaction, and a Twitch casting rod on the first run that was released. So far, I have had zero issues with the Googan Green baitcasting rods that were not due to user error. One has a broken eyelet (currently at the tackle shop getting repaired) but that was 100% my fault, not the fault of the rod. 🤷‍♂️ just my personal experience with Googan rods.

[@arkreb1968]

Come to Amity, Arkansas. Wade fish the Caddo river, two miles downstream is a bridge, 2 miles past that is a boat ramp and the start of Lake Degray

[@ramgabe1027]

15:00 Says the person that needs to have the “clicks” on the baitcasters drag. CALLING YOU OUT!! 😂😂😂. Keeping you honest 🤣

[@curtiscox3973]

Best fishing videos on KZbin!!! My son and I watch every video posted. Keep it up!

[@dolfanrob262]

I think 12lb line might have been a bit much and part of the casting problems on that little Lew’s reel. But who knows?🤷‍♂️ good video

[@Zakarigardens]

Love you brother hope things are going better for you and your family. Keep strong

[@psychonaut3507]

Haha, i use to have a little paddle boat like those when i was younger. They're great if you fish in small ponds or lakes but anything bigger or anything with current is going to give you a major workout. Use to take mine to the local Creek and float down to the deeper holes you couldn't get to by wading. It was always a blast until trying to get back upstream, the current would push the boat just as fast as you could paddle it in spot effectively meaning you would sit in place paddling to no avail. All in all it was a lot of fun though and i could definitely recommend them for someone who wanted one!

[@1979fk]

Really enjoy your content, smart move staying with googan but truth we all miss the content with you , norm, and Ayo

[@chipseiler1766]

(That'd be a cute little boat for your back yard.) This was going to be an interesting video from the get go. Shows that maybe a minimum of $50 should be spent. Heck... for $60, you can get a Daiwa Regal LT. Best bang for your buck that I know of. ...That Wind "Nest" on the Zebco is why I started using braid as backing on ALL my spinning reels. Then to see it happen again later. Reminded me of trips I had when I was in my 30's. (42 - 30years ago fishing time) Don't think I'll ever go back to straight mono. Don't think that the wind knots were the fault of the reels per say. It's the old mono memory problem. 1/3 mono, double uni to braid, mono or flouro leader. Been working great for over a year now. The Lew's would have functioned better with 10 lb. or 8 lb. 12 is where you start getting into a LOT of wind know issues with lighter lures. ...Test wise, to be fair, I think your reels should have been on lighter action rods, except for the Shimano 2500. From my experience, go with a minimum of the Regal LT series by Daiwa. I slowly upgraded from there. That said, I am mostly an ultra lite fisherman when it comes to Spinning. LOVE it! Thanks for sharing! Good video.

[@RexalessOne]

I use the Shimano fx 4000 reel and I don't mind it for what it is. Pretty reliable and I only had to replace it once because I fell up a clay bank. Excited to see if you like it

[@luncht1m333]

I've used the Zebco Stinger before. It's all you need for pan fishing.

[@theholygoose]

As someone who is usually stuck using the cheapest gear, it's nice to see those items working. I've never fished with a real that cost more than $50, so with that, most reals are "nice" in my eyes

[@codyblack9200]

I have quite a few rods that I put those cheap quantum baitcasters. they do well for the money.

[@joshpilgrim1885]

Lojo the only KZbinr I follow that drops videos weekly keep them coming

[@lorenzoboyland5341]

I'll be honored to use any fishing equipment that has been in the presence of let alone used by King Lojo himself.

[@codyriffle4302]

I think it would be cool to try a cane pole for sight fishing. I have one thats 13 feet with 15 feet of line so you can get some distance and they make longer ones cane poles too.

[@stevenstefanko1551]

LOJO...read the packages!!! I really seeth when you ask questions while videoing yourself asking questions of your viewers when your an adult and don't spend the time to read the package, your viewers deserve more. I worked at Dick's for years after a construction accident prevented me from going back to construction, also a veteran...I always believe that there is no such thing as a "stupid question " except the one not asked ! Shimano FX series is a bushing reel, no bearings and can bind up after some use or under a load ...Shimano typically uses the best kind of bearings in all reels, always check the screws on your reels cause they come loose. Love your videos but I'm a little OCD about things, sorry if I'm over the top....keep fishing but please do a little homework for what you're looking for before you go, also how you use spinning reels and with what king of lures can twist up the line bad especially if you don't Close the bail by hand (not cranking the handle) and pull the line tight to the reel by hand or rod to have no loose line when you start to turn the handle. Jerk baits twitch baits or light weight lures will help create little tension or allow twist in your line and make wind knots more of a problem. I've learned the hard way about cheap gear , Good luck !

[@Scottie.Barger]

I’m so glad yesterday I found your videos. Feels like fishing with friends 🤝🤝🤝

[@DavidMoreno-vk8yt]

I literally just bought the Ozark Trail telescoping combo with baits, can't wait to try it out since there is a resaca running through my school campus. Wanted a quick setup.

[@Brandon-cy6sn]

Oh and watching your videos I learn a lot from you much love brother keep it up

[@nathanbillingsley42]

Dont sleep on the zebco spinning reels. They are my go-to. Also, their customer service is in Oklahoma and are great. My wife took the reel brake knob off one of my reels and dropped it in the lake "by accident", I contacted their customer support to see if i can buy another knob and they sent me a replacement reel and the shipping to send the other one back.

[@melvinbrown1434]

I bought the Zebco Stinger in 2 different sizes, and they both got bad wind knots with the pre-spooled line. Couldn't get it to stop until I took the line off.

[@madtownangler]

I fish mostly from shore so my casts usually have to be long unless I can find a public pier or I am river fishing in my canoe so I have long casting spinning reels mostly. There are no bass anywhere in my state I can't catch with eight pound mono.

[@lau04792]

I'm actually using the Shimano FX on saltwater.. it's great as for the price. Ok for beginner

[@davidarwood6264]

I bought a Mr Trout at Dicks years ago and put it on a little Shimano rod. My wife wanted a small combo. It's barely been used. It feels great. I'm gonna try using it . Maybe on some bluegill. I lost a nice Rainbow on a setup like that before. It was too much for it.😅

[@artbarraza3168]

We fish out of paddle boats in SoCal lakes....would be funny to see you and Andrew fishing out of that in your pond.

[@brewser52]

Bro, that was the fish save of THE YEAR on the Zebco. Hell Yeah!!

[@arleyjarman3401]

Great video. Enjoy all of your videos. Especially your last video. Enjoyed your honesty.

[@JAYS_HOUSE_OF_TAROT]

Lojo I was told the amount of line causes those wind knots, I’m not sure but the fuller the spool the better the line goes out and comes in

[@erikdmckenzie]

The $17.96 Shakespeare reel in Walmart not getting the love haha see 6:48

[@Jp69240]

I found that exact shimano 2500 on clearance in my local walmart still sealed in pack for 10$ was a 1 off thing it was a return my store is small we don’t carry just reels usually

[@aidenoverstreet]

Lojo never fails to put me in a good mood

[@michaelross5674]

Need to try that Colorado pontoon boat from classic accessories....sold in bass pro maybe they will send u one

[@Steadyyguappin40]

Lojo please go tarpon fishing before letting go of ole greeny!!! Trust me you’ll love it the jumps and feeling is indescribable. It’ll also make a great video 😉😁

[@crazykids2004]

Man I love cheap combos they have always worked the best for me I have the $10 walmart combo I've had for 7 or 8 years took very good care of it still works perfectly amazing video as always I can't wait for the next one

[@christopherhofheins2763]

My money is on the shimano. Own the Zebco stinger and recently bought the shimano fx4000 awesome reel super smooth, best with braid, sad to see you had issues reeling the line. Mine has been super smooth, used as a catfish and bass reel

[@Teazey2Timez]

Set up the wacky with the new pink pinner worm yesterday and absolutely killed it!

[@Boredproductionz]

I have that first zebco except rly big bought it on vacation in FL its great

[@kcbennie]

That's actually a great one man boat!!! Sit in the middle! Totally stable! You can stand up! I fly fished from one no problem!!!

[@owenwhitenburg1452]

KEEP IT UP LOJO YOU NEVER DISSAPOINT!!!

[@christianmills4604]

I have the Shimano reel and I got it with the rod and reel combo at academy and I put 15lb high vis h20x line on it and it casts smooth as silk, I also bought the 4000 separate with an h20x spinning rod and it casts smooth as well

[@Michael_E_G]

My favorite KZbinr I’m trying to start my channel again

[@jonreed4973]

I love the dangle dart in the rivers in my town bass, crappie, bluegill all day

[@madtownangler]

On a lot of Shimano reels the body size is the same just the spool is bigger like the 2000 and 2500 sized reels are the same just one spool is bigger. Therefore I bought a whole bunch of 2500 sized spooks for the type reel I had on eBay back in the day

[@gvidasgi2480]

Not quite right, all 2000 size shimano's are with 1000 size body and bigger diameter spool. 2500 already has a bigger body, there are some C2500 (C=compact) but they're mostly for jdm market, like Soare XR. Also C3000 has a 2500 size body. You have mostly check for the "C" mark, apart from 2000 sized reels as they all are with 1000 size bodies as 2000 size body dosen't exist.

[@xKoiBoi]

That lil trout reel from lews is great. Had mine for years & I’ve caught about every species in Georgia on it 😂🤘🏻

[@ChasinFish8754]

Love your videos man!! This was a great one! Keep it up!

[@jasonsanchez822]

Always good and different videos brother. God bless 🙏 and Keep em coming

[@Evan_fishing26]

Love the videos bro much love, kinda crazy that academy still has a 2020 model Stradic 4000. Should have bought it for the video

[@whyteowl4407]

in almost 40 years of fishing, nearly exclusively with spinning reels, i've had two fail. a shakespeare failed last week, mega failure, fell apart in my hands after almost 20 years of hard work (rod is still money). and a cheap shimano that failed after maybe 10 years. 2 bearings or 10, plastic or aluminum or unobtanium, if you take care of it and can fish worth a damn it will last.

[@williamsocha]

Noticed you never mentioned the make/model rods you paired the reels with. Looked to me like the 2500 size Shimano was mounted on the highest end rod.

[@casey360360]

The cheapest at walmart that's out of stock is a Shakespear rear drag reel. I have it on my travel kit, it's STUPID good. I've heard hit or miss on quality but I've pulled some larger bass in on it and not once has it ever missed a beat.

[@Danielfr123]

another awsome vid lojo, keep up the great work!

[@B-Rad_P-Ark]

The line on the Zebco is trash, but I have 2 of them for the river. They handle both small and big fish. And I've beat the snot our of em and they keep working.

[@lagginswag]

Had the 2500hg on a 6'6" medium fx rod for over a year, and it's still solid. Caught a 9.89lb channel cat on it, 😅

[@TCoutdoors95]

Need to see the paddle boat vid, I fished from one of those in high school a bunch 😂

[@dylanservant6994]

One of my friend had one of them shimano little spinning reals that exact one and it wasnt bad at all

[@andrepieterse2271]

5:37 lojo attached some of the guns he used in the army to his shoulders before he left

[@BIG-MIKE-187]

what was that paddle tail swim bait you were using?

[@lordravenblade]

If you look at some of the model numbers for things like that Walmart Shimano they’re slightly different than the equivalents from say bass pro. They’ll put lower quality and less expensive versions or ones that failed QA for other stores in Walmart because they figure people aren’t in Walmart for qualitu

[@patrickboyle6171]

Shoutout Lojo man!! Black buffalo helped me kick nicotine

[@CheapAngler]

The casting issue with the zebco was more of an issue with the line rather than the reel. I've been using the same stinger for like 4 years with no problems. They're low quality, but work fine. But NEVER use zebco or omniflex line..

[@charliebraun7515]

A beautiful moment saving that bass from suffering!

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Awesome video LOJO .. Stay safe and Keep’em coming 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ronsautojax]

Got 12 00 temu reel on one my poles and honestly love it no issues and very smooth after 6 months. Lol

[@Tcb997]

That cheep one at walmart is a zebco but the drag is a rear adjust knob and is decent. I just bought the 2500 fx have not used it. I also bought a black max that was. $26.50 on clearance at walmart. I also found a source f1 combo at my local walmart. The source f1 is the smoothest reeling so far but exploded on me first trip out. Cought a few small bass and a tiny cat with it. But on a side note it is made by Rapala the customer service guy was fantastic. I figured since they were bought on clearance they would for sure make me pay for the parts. But no sent me a new reel and now l have two spools for it going to try it again this weekend. Lets hope l just stumbled on a fluke problem. Love the content. I would like to see you choose a fan or 2 and go fish with them for a day. Since your the pro kinda let them have home field advantage. Might cost too much but would be really cool. A to meet you guys and B put you to the test?? I would do that it would be so fun l just don't have a boat but never the less cool AF. Thanks for the videos.

[@ethanwright24]

Been loving the content here recently keep slamming em!

[@jplug14]

That 29$ shimano is actually great quality, I use one on my microlite set up… never had any issues

[@Kaderevans]

Love the vids Lojo!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@gasmaskboy5567]

keep up the grind LOJO, amazing content always!

[@MichaelDilbeckJr93]

Lojo My Guy Back At It Again My Man Love Watching Your Videos Brother Keep Em Coming. An The Reels I Would Love To Have One From You Id Keep It As A Souvenir Forever!

[@petejones4144]

I got 2 of those Lews they work good for me on ultra lite rods

[@lifteddaydream8536]

Just caught my first 5lb bass on my $30 5'6 zebco spinner combo i bought a little over a year ago. Solid option for beginners and small fish anglers but im excited to get my Nexave to throw on the Zebco rod 😂🤘 slow progress boys
