one of the best gear break downs on the net, so much to unpack, gratitude from New York ✊🏿

[@juanmendez1248]

That’s what I like man thank you, show stuff on public water that is what we are going to be fishing. I don’t like the videos that are filmed on private lakes where they catch a fish every cast to sell a new bait. Thank you for keeping it real

[@Veritas84Aequitas]

I want to apologize to all the anglers out there looking for Gancraft Mago 003 reels. I loaded up on every single NIB one I could possibly find after seeing how it handled our Ontario Essox strains, and still works flawless after so much damn abuse. SLP Works is the fkn juice straight up. Oliver, you're the real deal brother. If you're ever up around Southern Ontario region, hollar for some big Ol' Ontario Muskie hunting. Cheers.

[@dgroves85]

I like when you say “don’t take everything you hear online as the truth.” And that’s the truth. In my experience fishing has always been about experience and time on the water. Experimentation and documentation 👌🏼

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

I would absolutely LOVE!! A full breakdown of the Megabass i-Slide 262!!

Awesome breakdown!! Very informative for beginners and advice fishermen 🤙

love a good ole gear review!

[@JS-oy6nn]

Been using the gomexus handles for several years, I also buy the Lews 95mm handles for my Daiwa reels. I can’t stand the shorty handles. This video is extremely impressive. I’m definitely going to have to watch it again.

Nice lure

[@maxcole3930]

My only big swimbait reel is diawa leza 300. It is heavy reel but I got new 160 on sale. Pretty good deal. I'll have try that defiant heavy cover floro line. I'll use your links. I have been using seaguar abrazx 15& 20lb. It's served me well so far but always good try new gear & baits...

[@BigBassDreams]

The Diawa Lexa is a great reel. You will love the Defiant Lines! We appreciate you using the links, it helps our channel!

[@maxcole3930]

@@BigBassDreams yeap no prob, I've watched a lot your stuff for fishing big swimbaits I've just mostly fished soft baits so far. I have most confidence with defiant 210, 6-8-10 magdrafts, wcz 7" citizens. The Lexa has been good so far, really happy with it

[@dgroves85]

OG NGY just want to say what up! Dropped off the gram and the bass fishing scene. Hope all is well!

[@giovannikoppen]

I know this reel is not related to the video but I have a question. I’ve had several daiwa tatula 300s and 3 of them over the past 4 yrs have failed me. What’s your thoughts with long term use on that reel? And what’s your thoughts long term on the revo beast 40-hs if you’ve used it long term?

[@PHATBASSASSASSIN]

When do you snaps, split rings of neither ? Biggest thing I’m confused on right now

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

Oliver,I Slide 262 is the salt water version heavier or should a say can I fish it deeper,one of my goals for 2023 is focusing on (Glide baits in 15 foot and deeper if possible)how can I achieve that and what you recommend or could you do I video on it because I’m DEFINITELY want to do this. 16:06 thank you 🙏

[@BigBassDreams]

We don't believe there is a saltwater version of the 262t. Just the 185. It does indeed sink faster than the freshwater models. One way to get that 262t deeper is to fish it on Defiant 35lb Soft Casting Fluorocarbon to draw the bait deeper over the course of a long cast and work the bait slower and more methodically to allow the bait to work that 15+ ft Zone. Weight strips could help as well.

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

@@BigBassDreams thank you 👍

Have you had any experience with the tx3 from 13fishing yet.. would love to know what rod you'd pair it with as well as lure sizes.. wicked informative videos you've got.. cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🤙

What days u gonna be in Chicagoland?? Deciding if Im gonna drive up.....

[@bayardlohmiller9785]

I love throwing that baitsanity antidote, it's cool to see you working with those guys. I throw a lot of 6-7 inch swimbaits a couple 8 inch and I'd like to give that explorer a try next year which is probably as big as I'd go here in the northeast. I currently throw everything on my Dobyns Fury 795 swimbait rod since its the only one I have, it seems to do pretty good at driving a single jig hook on 6" hudds and also bends deep enough into the blank for that antidote or bbz treble hook baits but I have nothing to compare it to. I'm looking to add a new rod to the arsenal this year, probably an 8 footer for those slightly bigger glides and rats, I love throwing rats. Any recommendations? I was thinking something fairly parabolic since I can always throw a single hook on my flipping stick if need be.

[@BigBassDreams]

Take a look at the Douglas LRS C805F!

[@troycote4503]

I live in Massachusetts, have a 795 and an 806. The 806 is only good for maybe 5.5 ounces, the 795 maybe 3.5. I need a stiffer rod for 8 inch Hudds. I throw a lot more Wakebaits than glides, and those two rods are pretty good for almost all my hard baits.

[@bicalipierfishing8951]

Hello I'm new to your fishing KZbin channel 👍🎣 I love Pier fishing ever since I was a kid 💛 I love thes swim baits 🎣 they would be great for Pier fishing where can I buy the 6in proto tip swim bait it would be great for Pier fishing 🎣

[@drenalinhunter38]

What braid to fluorocarbon knot are you using. Thanks

[@BigBassDreams]

Alberto

[@ulysses_gonzalez8840]

I'm amazed at how heavy of line you are using, do you ever notice a difference between them hesitating to commit wit larger line? I've always stuck to 17-25 mono or flouro for most of my bait and still get lack of commitment

[@OliverNgy]

It's not your line. It's your presentation. If we are doing our job in presenting the lure the line diameter is of no consequence especially with 100% high quality Fluorocarbon. It's supposed to be invisible right? So what does it matter what diameter your invisible line is? It shouldn't.

[@ulysses_gonzalez8840]

@@OliverNgy Never though of it that way. I guess I will need to put more time into learning my baits, technique and baitfish behavior. Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏼 Excited to see what 23' holds for the Big Bass Dreams Channel

[@OliverNgy]

@@ulysses_gonzalez8840 unfortunately we can't fool them all the time, but as long as it's sometimes I'm happy haha. Have a great season!

[@KCMWM]

Doesn’t a larger line diameter, even in FC, cause a slower sink rate? How much difference between say 15lb and 25lb?

[@maxcole3930]

I started a few yrs ago with 6" magdrafts, ISlide 135 & couple savage gear baits. Then I bumped up to 8-10baits. I want a new good 8-10 glide bait, any recommendations? I've mostly fished soft baits past few yrs. I'm a kayak angler & I've found shorter rods usually make it easier when it comes to netting the fish. I always net everything so I have muscle memory for when i have a true giant on I net them without thinking about it! I've have baits come out right next to me & if I wasn't using a net I would have lost them! My main swimbait rod is 7'9" diawa 1-6oz. It's a mod-fast so it fishes both soft & hard baits fairly well. I use a 7' med-heavy for 6" magdrafts. It's landed me countess fish from small up to 9lbs.
