Yeah, it made me feel special for sure.

[@mojodojo5533]

Great review. I just ordered one and then saw your review. Confident I made a good purchase now. Thx!

[@PalmettoCats]

Awesome Mojo

[@joebuck66]

That is a really sharp reel. Great review Kevin. As of now I’m a spinning reel user. Maybe later on, when I grow up I’ll get into the bait casters. 😂🤣

[@PalmettoCats]

Haha when I grow up! 🤣

[@chepachii]

[@PalmettoCats]

Glad you liked it!

[@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309]

Nice vid I like mine as well they are very smooth I hadn't used a spinning reel in awhile myself made me kind of miss em for a minute. If I was going to keep mine I'd have to get used to that big round knob though.

[@PalmettoCats]

I watched your review. Awesome job!

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Nice work man! Happy Fishing!

[@PalmettoCats]

Thank you

[@markanthony7335]

[@PalmettoCats]

I like it. Wish they had one a little bigger.

[@jpslayer2016]

Great review, very informative and looks like a great reel.

[@PalmettoCats]

[@dannys4e617]

Wow that reel looks amazing

[@PalmettoCats]

It’s pretty nice and inexpensive

[@davidogden8370]

[@PalmettoCats]

Thank you!

[@robertsayre5178]

Nice looking reel love the design and color. Thanks for the review. Which 1 do you like better this 1 or the round bait casters you got .

[@PalmettoCats]

They're both great in their own way. However, since I've switched to bait casters I've been trying to find a good one. SO, I have 3 of the chaos reels and will be doing a review of them shortly. Spoiler alert, they're awesome!

[@robertsayre5178]

Awesome cant wait to see it

[@PalmettoCats]

@@robertsayre5178 yes sir!

[@SOGOnic]

Have you tried any of their cheaper reels? I really like the Flame 5000s. Just for a weekend guy like me and $30 is easier to justify to the wife.

[@PalmettoCats]

I haven’t. I’ve only tried the chaos series

[@TheIconicFisherman]

I have two of the 2,000 size reels with 120 yards of 30 lb braid for rainbow trout and panfish. And I have two of the 3,000 size reels with 120 yards of 50 lb braid for northern pike and channel catfish. And the reason the reels I use are so small is because I find most fishermen including me really can't cast more than 50 yards with a spinning reel anyway. And even though I fish the Mississippi River most of the Mississippi River has its water levels regulated by the US army corps to be only 9 ft to 12 ft deep year around. And even when it's flooding it's only 15 ft to 20 ft deep as a matter of fact there's only one single place on the Mississippi that's 200 ft deep. And it's all the way in the rural backwaters Arkansas and that's the only place where it's 200 ft deep in the whole country. So basically what I'm saying is you really don't need more than 100 yards of line the only reason I use 120 yards is so I can use the other 20 yards for reties. And I've caught fish up to 50 lb on a 3000 size reel so even though a 3,000 size reel is small it can handle a lot of weight and pressure being put on it.

[@PalmettoCats]

Great points!

[@geraldlathan2355]

I have a few spinning reals.my go to on catfish.

[@PalmettoCats]

👍

[@wesleyharden-nd8jf]

I have the viper x 500 with 10 lb test spiderwire ez braid and i gotta say it cast real smooth with my 8ft acc crappie stix with a 1 oz weight

[@PalmettoCats]

I love mine

[@mikecha1957]

Looks like a good one Kevin

[@PalmettoCats]

I think so

[@bobbynewton9247]

Nice looking reel looks nice

[@PalmettoCats]

It’s is pretty for sure

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Awesomeness sorry my friend I absolutely hate the sound of braid

[@PalmettoCats]

I don't like it either.

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

@@PalmettoCats lol

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Chunky,That's the sound of victory! ;) Happy Fishing Buddy!

[@ssjellochickn1143]

Good looking reel

[@PalmettoCats]

Indeed it is

[@TheReelFishermen]

33lbs! Wow, Stella drag 😲

[@PalmettoCats]

right!?

[@RedeemedPrepper]

Thanks for the review. Just moved to Hills Landing RV park and caught a 22lb Flathead. I'm addicted now lol. What's a good budget reel to put on a MadKatz rod? God is good!! God bless

[@PalmettoCats]

Awesome! Yea, go to Piscifun.com and get the Chaos 50 or 60. They’re awesome reels and at a great price. They even have a code for my subscribers to use. CAT18 saves you 18%. I love these reels. I only use Piscifun and Abu Garcia, but the Abus are very expensive. For spinning reels you can use the same code, I would get the CarnivoreX

[@RedeemedPrepper]

@@PalmettoCats Your the man!! Thanks. Maybe we'll see each other some day if you come over to Cross, SC.

[@PalmettoCats]

Yeah man. No problem

[@RedeemedPrepper]

@@PalmettoCats OK so I decided to go with the Chaos 60 reel. Can I put 40lb mono in it with a 25lb leader? Sorry for the questions. I'm still learning how to fish for cats.

[@PalmettoCats]

You can. Are usually run 30 pound mono to a 50 or 60 pound leader

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Great review. They would be wise to sponsor you.

[@PalmettoCats]

You think so?

[@OhioCatfishChasers]

Pissyfun, pisckafun... Either way they're sharp!!

[@PalmettoCats]

LOL, I've been pronouncing it wrong for SOOO long! hahah

[@OhioCatfishChasers]

@@PalmettoCats Yeah. I remember hearing you call it that...but heck I had no idea how either! Lol

[@PalmettoCats]

Exactly

[@lifestyledeckchannel5542]

Nice reel,

[@PalmettoCats]

I think so too.

[@bassman4850]

Can you put 20 pound test on it?

[@PalmettoCats]

Yes

[@swamp_rat_fla1126]

When is the last time Daiwa or Shimano sent you a reel to review?

[@PalmettoCats]

Never.

[@georgefrancis8789]

It is right or left hand or it works both?

[@PalmettoCats]

Both, you can switch the handle.

[@georgefrancis8789]

Thanks, because I ordered one from Amazon and I am using left hand

[@PalmettoCats]

@@georgefrancis8789 yes, super simple to switch.

[@attilapala1814]

Metal drum?

[@PalmettoCats]

Yes, aluminum spool

[@jculpepper05]

33lbs of drag 😬 I wouldn't test it

[@PalmettoCats]

Me neither!
