New Catfish Reels This Year

In this catfish fishing video I am fishing for catfish during the day using some new baitcasting reels from Ancient Mariner. I have used Ancient Mariner reels for several years, and recently made them my primary reels on the boat when fishing for catfish. The Ancient Mariner baitcasting reels work well for my style of fishing, and are the right size for the Ande monofilament fishing line that run.

Just picked one up today from mad katz gear at the catcon 2023.

[@pedrocruz4710]

Nice reels Dieter! Might have to try those out!

[@greenpighunter6930]

Nice. My 6500 C3s are bullet proof with simple maintenance.

[@steveedwards2662]

I love Ancient Mariner reels. I have 2 of them.😊

[@brassteeth3355]

I bought the red AM reel. That company is a top notch enterprise. They really are good people. The reel is very good for the price range.

[@LaughingCattFishing]

Shireena and I have 4 of those reels so far but plan on getting more.

[@koreywilliams4570]

Waters to low at the river spots I fish so I've been out at the lake bass and pan fishing for fun.

[@freddyferguson7763]

Wish you could pick of the color of the left handed reels

[@jimbauxhowl5606]

Nothing like rod tips in the water

[@HooksandHammocks]

Love my Ancient Mariner reels! Actually need 4 more for new Uncle Lou's Rods!

[@terryjohnson6823]

How do they cast from the shore ? Dont have a boat

[@HooksandHammocks]

@@terryjohnson6823 cast very well!

[@jamescannon4917]

Do a review on the Ancient Mariner 7000.

[@lowe48x14]

Quick question. Are these reels true 'level-wind' reels, or does the line guide on the reel only move when you are reeling in? If it only travels left to right on the retrieve, as opposed to on the retrieve, and cast, I would want to know before purchasing one of these reels. Thanks for what you do. Keeps me involved in the sport of fishing. 'It's a sport second to none'.

[@mikebrown9418]

Any chance we’ll get a review video on ancient mariners 7000 series reels or there new rods

[@Davids_United-Fam]

Ancient mariner 6000 series is what I've got

[@djgoodot]

Still want you to try and check out the whisker seeker products

[@basicshaungizmoali2151]

I have a new 7ft 6in Heavy madkatz rod, in your opinion what's the best real I should use on?

[@BRADASSOFFGRIDHOMESTEAD]

What GoPro? Do you have overheating issues? I do with my GoPro 10.

[@cooterduke3605]

nice reels and nice fish! Do you make it a point to fish over the mussel beds during a particular time of year? you make it look easy Dieter! 😃

[@DieterMelhorn]

Sometimes it is easy, some days it's not. Yesterdays trip was two fish, small channels, worst guide trip of the year. It happens.....

[@zachmazza2846]

It was difficult yesterday in Wylie only one 10lb NoB it was on fire begining of August. Just going to get better turning into the fall bite. Those Wylie flatheads are strange try for em and get skunked or a bunch of blues. Trolling for blues you get a flathead. Hope to see you out on the water sometime soon again. Good luck

[@thomasmills8834]

I caught a 13 pound channel catfish in konawa lake in konawa Oklahoma

[@TJT153]

What do you like about this reel more than the slime cat reel?

[@darrellnichols6179]

Hey sir, if you have any reels or rods for sale I’d appreciate you getting with me. Was out of fishing for several years and trying to get back in. Not too far from you. Fish the yadkin chain mostly. Thanks

[@timothymclaughlin6630]

have you ever fish lake buckhorn in Wilson NC. If so can you give me some tips. trying it for the first time in about two weeks. Bank fish for know

[@timothymclaughlin6630]

thanks

[@davefisher5196]

I only see 6000 series on the website. I need 5.3:1 reels.

[@macaylaoliver8130]

Who is the guy down in Texas you send you reels to be retuned and suped up a bit?

[@DieterMelhorn]

There was a company in Alabama, but I do think they’re in business anymore…. Try Verns Reel Repair….you can find him on Facebook.

[@davidransom4476]

Need a Catch The Fever Hellcat pink rod for that pink reel.

[@DieterMelhorn]

I got one.....well, three.....LOL!

[@davidransom4476]

@@DieterMelhorn , I thought you did a video on that recently, but don't see it.

Can we get a subscribers name the reels to win a fishing trip with Dieter???

[@securityofficer9483]

Promo code?

[@carlericpickett597]

Do they make a spinning version?

[@DieterMelhorn]

They do sell some spinning reels. They are bigger reels, 6000-7000 class. Not sure if they still sell them....

[@jordonpratt2604]

Are t those the 6000 size???? I thought the 6000 came in all those colors , I could be wrong

[@williammason9789]

I tried to find Ancient Mariner reels online. Nothing showed.

[@catfishbill]

You can also find them at katmama industries,

[@slange455]

I bought 2 not sure I would buy them again some time the line likes to jump between body of the reel and the spool. They are ok maybe like the basspro cat max reels ok but not great

[@DieterMelhorn]

I've seen that happen with reels in this prices range. That is why I try not to max out my line capacity on these reels, or use really small line.

[@lowe48x14]

Hey Dieter. This may sound crazy, but I watched a video earlier today where a guy used PAM cooking spray to catch fish. His video was a 'scientific' video. I was impressed. I don't know if the results were real, or not. Would you be willing to test that theory in the same way you tested the chicken theory? It would be really cool if you can reproduce his results. He caught many more fish on Pam cooking spray, as opposed to clean bait. I think it would be a fun test. His channel is 'KATFISH KARMA'. I found it very interesting. Maybe you will, also.

[@johnhaferkamp5053]

chicken marinated overnight with brown sugar and cooking oil worked well for me yesterday.
