Getting paid to sit at work and watch some i_fish videos. It's going to be a good day

[@ifishcatfish]

i've done that : )

[@dannylalumiere6538]

I am really looking forward to see a video that you open up the Kestrel reel and see how they are made inside!

[@ifishcatfish]

i dont want to open that reel... i don't want to poke it too much..

[@adamlee8512]

Hi victor, thanks for recommending the felt vanford drag disk to me. After ordering your reel grease and those felt disk it fixed my problem immediately with the soare xr spinning reel and your 125 floats have caught me a lot of trout recently. Would you like a picture of the floats with the trout? Awesome products and keep up the good work look forward to more ifish products.😊

[@ifishcatfish]

i would LOVE a picture of my floats with trout! Please send as many as u have to the email below! : ) And glad you got the drag nice and smooth..

[@fishingtimeletsgo598]

Nice action on the UL - catfish on the trout magnet 👍👊🎣

[@ifishcatfish]

thanks buddy!

[@bobjohnson7207]

Nice country

[@ivanvedris9636]

Hello, great and soothing video. you recently recommended vanford to me.. what do you mean "they don't feel smooth"?

[@ifishcatfish]

oh.. i can't go that rabbit hole again... i have compared these reels a thousand times. Its a great reel, but daiwas just feel smoother because of magseal. But the magseal creates other problems.

[@billwilburn1685]

I was thinking how beautiful it was just before you mentioned it.

[@ifishcatfish]

it is so pretty... i love it here

[@thomaskong5]

Hi Victor, in one of your videos, you talked about sealing cork handle of the rod with a certain product. I can’t find the video again where you mentioned it. What product do you recommend?

[@ifishcatfish]

I use oil based polyurethane but if you want to find the video search my channel for HOW TO SEAL. Polyurethane is not for everyone.. some say its a health hazard, too shiny and whatnot.. I show all the other products in that video

[@seanhung14982]

What line are you using on that reel? Watched a bunch of line videos just curious what your go to is at this point.

[@ifishcatfish]

4 lb Varivas Teitchmaster is on all my float rigs. The Kestrel got a different line because i wasnt planning on keeping it and used half a spool of line i had left..

[@KevinMcGrath]

Hey Victor. What landing net is that? Also received your jig heads and bobbers. Premium and some of the best jigs I’ve fished with. Thank you

[@ifishcatfish]

this is an old carp net i bought from UK.. brand is Greys.. But i don't think u can find it any more. Even if u do, this net is very expensive

[@KevinMcGrath]

@@ifishcatfish any recommendations on similar sized nets for panfish? I have a couple of Beckman nets but it doesn’t seem they offer anything “shallow” for panfish like that Greys. Everything is very deep and cumbersome.

[@ifishcatfish]

@@KevinMcGrath exactly. I started working on my own net 6 months ago, but manufacturer refused to do what i asked, and we broke off. Need to find another manufacturer. I want to make a net that is as beautiful and finesse as my float and jigs and gloves. BTW if u havent tried my gloves, u need to try. Im not trying to sell them... u just gona get addicted to having them on when outside..

[@KevinMcGrath]

@@ifishcatfish when you do eventually get to manufacturer your own net, you already have a sale. Keep us in the loop and if you find something worthwhile in the meantime. As for the gloves, I’m definitely adding to my next order of jigs!

[@corerod1996]

Mr. Victor I need advice on something. I just bought some Moonshine Crappie Swimmers (1.5 inches). Would you recommend the 1.25g #10 or the 1.5g #10 BG-1 for installation?

[@ifishcatfish]

I thought the gentleman who makes these passed away. Maybe his wife runs the business now? He was one of my first supporters, back when my channel had 1000 subs.. Anyway, as far as installation it makes no difference, since the hook is the same. The 1.5 will run better if u fish deeper than 10 foot. If u fish 10 foot or less, the 1.25 gram is enough. But whichever you chose, make sure you get at least one pack of the other. They look a little different and are so pretty - u have to see them both..

[@corerod1996]

@@ifishcatfish Awesome, Thank you.

[@NasirUddin-sm8md]

Hey there, hope all is well. Firstly just wanted to see if there were any updates on the gloves. Secondly I purchased my rods before I found your channel so just wanted your advice on my set up. I have 2 St. Croix rods. First one is the avid series panfish spinning 7 foot rod extra fast action with a daiwa bg 2500 reel. Second one is a panfish series spinning 7 foot rod extra fast action with a daiwa legalis lt 2000d (blue/silver model). My question is what reels would you suggest I get for one or both of them to get the most out of them?

[@ifishcatfish]

On the gloves... they were shipped on April 3rd, and the maximum it takes is 1 month.. so at most two weeks, but i am really hoping that i get them next week.

[@ifishcatfish]

On the rods and reels combos... i hate both of those rods. There is nothing you can get out of them. The BG is saltwater reel that is heavy as a brick. I don't know what channel u were watching to get your tackle recommendations, but that is NOT ultralight tackle! The only piece of tackle that you have that is good is the blue legalis. That is a good reel. That reel deserves a nice rod. Honestly... i hate to say that, but you should check my 2024 Reel Buying Guide and my 2024 Rod Buying guide and make a combo entirely from those guides, depending on your budget. I strongly recommend that if you want to focus on ultralight fishing. If you are bass fishing or heavier fishing that ultralight, then your tackle might be OK.. i don't know.. my main expertise is ultralight fishing

[@NasirUddin-sm8md]

@@ifishcatfish Lol I figured as much. Someone actually gave me the bg reel. Everything else I bought. I’ll most likely end up replacing them with better rods. & reels. As always thank you for all of the help and suggestions.

[@UnrulyNewYorker]

Good day brother. I’m curious to know if you have any BG-1’s being created in sub 1G variations?

[@ifishcatfish]

i DID, and the mofkr shipped them to the wrong address! Now we are trying to get UPS to go pick them from the wrong company and give them back to me but its a huge pain. But if i get lucky, they should be here soon. I have 0.6 gram with size 12 hook and 0.75 gram with size 10 hook. The 0.6 gram jigs are made from the 1 gram molds and the 0.75 gram jigs are made from the 1.25 gram molds, but they are done with a different metal alloy that doesn't have lead, so they are lighter. Also better for environment if u snag.

[@UnrulyNewYorker]

@@ifishcatfish I don’t mind the wait at all! Quality products/services are always worth the hassle, patience, and investment. I literally own roughly 35 packs of your original BG-1’s, combination of Black and Grey. I plan on purchasing similar units of your other offerings as well.

[@ifishcatfish]

i am also waiting for the ultralight gloves. Super thin and stretchy and sun protection. Should have both in a week or so, as long as UPS can pick up from the wrong company. Last year they shipped my jigs to Amazon and we never found them. We called amazon but they said they don't have it. Some bastard now has 2000 packs of bg1 jigs somewhere... incredible that this is possible with all of the technology

[@UnrulyNewYorker]

@@ifishcatfish I’m definitely interested in majority of your merch Vic! Your offerings are affordable, effective, and the craftsmanship is definitely on point. 2K units is a SIGNIFICANT loss brother! SMH! My best wishes for recovering your merchandise.

[@TPelican8250]

@@ifishcatfishGlad to hear this news about the non- lead jigheads. I’ll buy them as soon as you post them on your tackle website. I’ve had good luck with non- lead jigheads but the hooks are too thick. Love the Japanese hooks you use!

[@sebben1236]

hi I_fish thank you for the video... your jighead interests me, can you have them delivered to France?

[@ifishcatfish]

you know... i can but it makes no economic sense. Shipping will cost more than the jigs. U can buy from Japan cheaper.. But if u just want to see them.. you can tell me how many packs u want and i can check the shipping

[@RonMTube]

Like you, I'd rather fish the less desirable spot than be next to another boat.

[@ifishcatfish]

right. And god forbid u catch a fish right in front of them.... you've got stalkers now..

[@billturner2370]

Would the new 24 Daiwa Certate 2000 be a good choice for ultra lite fishing?

[@ifishcatfish]

No. You don't need aluminum frame reels for ultralight fishing. Thats saltwater or bass fishing reel..
