Testing the Tiny but Mighty baitcasting combo (telescopic rod)

Рет қаралды 12,052

In this video I test out the Tiny ProFishiency Pocket Baitcaster telescopic Travel rod. Could this baitcasting reel be the perfect travel rod or will it be a bust? I will put it to the test, and review the functionality of the rod and reel, i will fish with it, and see how it holds up against some largemouth bass.

I grew up with those old zebco 33's, the ones called "classic" these days. They had a 13.5-14 ipt. They were pretty slow.

Same! It’s fun to use too. I’ve found that I like bringing it with me in the car in case I see a new spot and want to pop out and try it real quick.

The gear ratio isn't that bad. That ratio is standard for most cranking and swimbait use. The line pickup per handle turn is the major issue. It looks like an incredibly deep spool. The deeper the spool, the less line it picks up per turn. If you were able to fill the spool with something or even a much thicker diameter line you would improve your line pickup rate.

@lakemonsterlures Жыл бұрын

Absolutely, the diameter of the spool is that of a pencil. But I was shocked at how much line it actually could hold. I found myself using this combo over a normal one because it was just so fun

Did you use 4lb braid? Have you tried any other line on it? What line was on your other reel you used with it? Thanks!

@lakemonsterlures 11 ай бұрын

Honestly I was probably using 30lb braid. Suffix 832

@lakemonsterlures 11 ай бұрын

I’ll have to check, but if it’s braid I usually have 30-65 depending on what style lure I’m using/rod. The 13 reel was most likely heavier line because I had it on my musky rod.

How’s the range on this? I’m curious how different it is from the other pocket combos

@lakemonsterlures 11 ай бұрын

Basically as good as any rod, I was able to get some good distance out of it. Helps having a heavier lure and using your own reel.. but that little reel is built like a tank. I’m genuinely impressed. It also is great when fishing in tight spots… like around overhanging trees. But the fight when bringing in any sized fish is insane! Lots of fun!

Is the key is to real as fast as possible for bass. For trout fishing don't do that and that is top gearing for my poles i don't find bass much in the high desert is to cold in the water for bass.

@lakemonsterlures 5 ай бұрын

Trout have much softer mouths. I used to live in Colorado, and go back there often. It does seem that the fight for bass fishing goes a lot quicker. Try to keep tension on the line so they don’t toss the hook.

It sounds like its the rod thats poo and not the babycaster itself. Hmmm, I'd love to try to that baitcaster on a 6'2 UL/L rod for casting micro crankbaits, tiny spoons, fly lures...

@lakemonsterlures 10 ай бұрын

That’s a great idea! I’ll try that. I don’t have an UL rod… now an excuse to buy one!

How does the reel compare to other bait casting reels? How different is it?

@lakemonsterlures 2 ай бұрын

It’s super small… it doesn’t slip when fighting if that’s a concern. It actually is a really strong reel. Fighting a fish on it is very difficult. It makes every fish feel like a giant. It’s a lot of fun. 18 inches per crank is just about a foot per rotation. So if you cast out 50ft you’re going to crank it almost 50 times to bring it in. If the ratio was 7:1:1 and a “normal” size I would buy it. The quality is really good.

What about if you pair it with an ultra light rod

I found the spinning reel on sale and have been pleasantly surprised. Perfect ultrlight creek setup. Been curious on these bad boys.

Not my number one choice by any means, but better than others. Of my favorites I think my Shimanos are the top, then daiwa. I do like my 13 fishing concept reel, but I got it at 60% off… wouldn’t have paid more than that. The Revo reel (Ike signature model) is pretty good.
