- We love new gear!! From a budget reel that is incredibly light weight, to a new smaller deep diving crankbait, to a big swimbait with a ton of movement, this gear review is packed with items that can help you catch more fish! Come along as Matt explores a variety of new tackle!
We love these gear review videos because they let our inner tackle junkies run wild! Today Matt is sharing some real gems that he's been using this Fall. Some items, like the Miravel, look amazing the moment you pick them up. Other items like the CPS Slim Centering pins need to be explained, but once you get it they're a life saver! That's what these videos are all about!

"This is gonna be fun" says my bank account! Thanks Matt
Ha!!
Always love waking up to a gear review video from Matt! So many bass have been caught and in my boat this year because of you and Tim. Thanks for all the years of hard work helping us anglers slap some bass!! Haha
We're happy to help!!
Matt, best gear review in a long time!! I can’t usually find a 35min, 45min, 1 hr slice of time to watch a gear review but 20 minutes is perfect. I’m so excited about the Spro RC 50DD & Chatter Custom skirtless, but tell me that Scottsburough swimbait isn’t the exact same size and color as the Shad in Shasta!! You guys know more than anyone. I can’t wait to throw it there, especially next spring up the creeks!! Thanks as always for the great content.
Matt, you and Tim are the best bass guru's in the world. When you speak with so much conviction, I log it in my memory as the gospel. Y'all are the best thing to ever happen in bass fishing and I sincerely appreciate you. Thank you.
Always solid content from you guys. Keep up the great work.
Just getting going in expanding my fall gear. VERY HELPFUL!
There goes my chance of getting one of those reels on Friday 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for all the great info. Very much appreciated
I love the opening bell. Once I took the bell off and twisted up the arm, it became the perfect inline buzz bait. I no longer have a replace buzz toads after a few fish. For what it’s worth, fish in my area tend to hit quiet and discreet top waters for whatever reason over the loud, obnoxious ones.
Dude we all love all the info u throw in any video.
Thanks for the recommendations. Just ordered the Miravel.
I have a feeling I'm not the only one that says along with you when they open video, welcome back to tactical bassin.
The fall gear review, second only to the spring gear review! Unfortunately things here in the north are winding down and getting ready for that hard water. Looking forward to the spring thaw already!
Lets get it..... I'm ready to lock in. Thank you for always providing excellent info. I killed them on the lucky craft 500 you recommended.
Great content as usual. That buzz bait looks pretty neat
I LOVE GEAR REVIEWS!
Thanks Matt great way to start the day
Any time, we're happy to do it!
I think I can confidently say that 90% of all my fishing knowledge has came from this channel. Thank you for everything!
Always enjoy your vids. Glad your coming out or promoting your apparel more, but dang the Tshirt in LG is already sold out!
Love the new gear thanks
Thanks for coming along! Sorry about that spammer, we catch it as quick as we can
Start getting ready to watch a November/winter fishing tips and techniques vid I would like it before November but that’s not my call keep up the content live it
Soon! Very soon!!
Thanks!
Perfect! I'm still making lures so am too poor to buy the shirt but sure would like one.
Was in the market for a new spinning reel. Nobody on line had the Miravel in stock.. Had decided on another model. Checked Amazon's price on it, the Miravel 2500 showed up as 1 left. Ordered it, we will see if it comes. They had the 3000, same $129 price. Drag is the same, think the only difference is a slightly larger spool. I did use Matt's links to order some other stuff from tackle Warehouse, Love these guys!!!
You guys are always costing me money LOL! But it isn't wasted
Hey Matt, can Tim and you do a video that reviews the BEST BUDGET BAITS across ALL of the different lure categories?
I love gear reviews like this video, they whet my appetite for the annual Holiday Buyers' Guide series! However, before Tim and you get to that Buyers' Guide series as we close in on Good Friday, can you both please recap the best budget bait options that are now available?
The diawa exceler is as light as the miravel and has been out for several years. but I think the miravel will be a complete package of quality with smoothness and durability.
Awesome video I love the gear review videos what gear ratio should I throw swimbaits and glide baits on
I was wondering when y'all would breakout a standard tee. However you need to bring in the larger sizes 3XL and 4XL's.
Thanks for another great review always enjoy the video's especially the underwater fish reaction to different baits.
We'd love to! These are in partnership with Aftco so the demand has to be there. We'll definitely present your request 👍🏼
13:54 A lot of guys in inshore saltwater use the Z-man style plastics. Those twist locks could be amazing for that application 👀
100% they'll make a huge difference!
Typically I get a matt allen video notification and it costs me 100+ bucks
But not today
This time it's because I bought an autopilot 120 and helix 7 after I watched Matt and Tim fish muskie and sm on them
Thanks guys🤦♂️
This actually saved me $$- was about to plunk down $240 for the Vanford but was hesitant because I remembered how much Matt liked the Miravel for its value proposition so I got this instead. Hasn’t arrived yet but I am sure it’s gonna be sweet. I do think the law of diminishing returns on spinners starts kicking in at $200 but I doubt the functional difference between the Miravel and the Vanford is so big that I’m gonna regret not spending another $100+ Besides, now I can buy some Tatsu 😂
The yum scottsboro baits are some of my favorites swimbaits. They have a nice body wobble and the tail kicks pretty wide. Only true complaint is they don’t have much of a hook slot if any so open hooks are almost mandatory
The R2S reminds me of an old "inline buzzbait" called a "Snagless Sally." Right? Am I making stuff up or do any other oldsters remember that bait? Worked great on big pile up north too.
Hey! Great timing...my 2500-size spinning reel got the drag burned out of it a couple of days ago by a catfish that ate my shaky head. Looks like the Miravel would be a great replacement to start looking at...
Im a sucker for buzz baits. I’ll be picking those up regardless if they work or not
Cool nice
Other than the Knocker for the buzz blade, what else is different about Opening Bell from the Evolution Baits Grassburner
I would consider cranks like the RKCrawler, Curve55, etc. Mid-Shallow cranks because I feel like crankbaits come in 0-6(shallow), 7-12(mid-shallow), 13-19(mid-deep), and 20+(deep)
Ive been thinking about getting a jerkbait rod. So far i got my eyes on the jdm Aldebaran 31 or jdm metanium with either 6'10 medium expride B or megabass p5 destroyer oneten stick. What do you think tactical bassin.
Matty, what’s your thoughts on Bailey baits? They look solid just seeing your thoughts. I’m sure you own a dozen or so.
i finally got around to throwing a jerk bait its like i unlock new lures after i try a new lure recommended from tactical bassin
For those that want a reel that is smooth and has similar specs as the spinning reel the Daiwa Fuego LT in the 2500D- XH is an excellent comparison ( on paper).
On second look the specs all favor the Daiwa, cheaper and more line capacity plus an extra bearing (SHOULD be smoother).
What do you think about the 19 vanquish c3000xg or the 21 Exsence 3000mhg for bass rod I am putting it on a mega bass wind buster rod I thinking about a vanquish what do you think I know you have the Exsence 3000 m
Seriously Matt you should give the imakatsu dilemma popper 60 a try, they're so good
I love my screw locks. I buy them cheap and bulk off amazon. But... The issue I have with Most* screw locks, is the upper part of the screw being too close to the eye of the screw lock, so its tough to thread through the eye of a heavier gauge swimbait hook.
You know, I make my own CPS springs. Now, I'll have to figure out how to make those modded ones for Elaztech.
When u started talking about weight I instantly looked over at my 20 year old Shimano Stradic 4000FG 😂
😂😂😂 hey, the good news is it can balance out ANY rod!
How do you use screw lock with Texas rig? I can’t picture it.
Check out 3:16 lures and Ramsey baits. Had a ton of luck this year on both.
Would this reel in 2500HG fit with my Westin W3 spin 2nd gen 3-15g ?
Did you ever find the Stone Cold color in the Rock Crawler
Which rod would you pair the Shimano Miravel reel with. I have an omen 3 medium power rod or a St Croix premier medium light rod. If I am pond fishing, with the occasional trip to Headwaters Lake in Florida, what type and pound test line would you recommend with this reel?
Looking to pair the reel with a budget rod around the $100-150 range.
I’m afraid of getting my hands on a miravel lol I absolutely love my nasci reels. I’ve got them on crappie setups, bass setups, and in between. I do need to upgrade the pflueger president on my fury 702 though…🤔
Sounds like there might be an opening..
I've been wanting to try a Neko rig out but haven't had much confidence in throwing one up north here in MT. I usually throw a ned rig, would you say a Neko rig would be effective this far north?
Why not? Especially if you have clear water the Neko plays well in the same situations the Ned rig and shakeyhead do. Personally I feel like I hang up a bit less with a Neko since the hook naturally sits higher off the bottom plus you have the option of using weed less hooks.
My miravel spool is clicking right out of the package. Any idea what’s wrong with it? I’m about to send back to tackle warehouse, I just got it today.
How does the Miravel compare to the Ultegra?
Shimano can't touch Daiwa on the lower end spinning reel segment. The Miravel is supposed to duke it out with the Fuego LT... that's $30 bucks cheaper with same weight or lighter depending on size and comparable proprietary specs.
It’s weird i throw all Shimano bait casters but all Daiwa spinning
That's why we fish the Stradic & Vanford haha
@@jeremyduncan9165 I'm the opposite. I love daiwa's bait casters and like Shimano's spinning gear. I don't throw much spinning though.
I also prefer Daiwa spinning and Shimano casting, even daiwa’s 50-80 dollar range reels are a lot lighter and smoother than the 100 plus dollar “budget” eggbeaters shimano offers
@@rhodesianhunter9360 it’s whatever works. As long as I’m fishing I guess if I had to I use a zebco! Lol another topic Is rod powers they are all so different. Like I wish I could use one for a day before I buy it. I’ll make my mind up for what lure and size baits it good for.
What bodies of water are fish usually edible in? I follow my state fishing reports but they only cover big lakes or bodies of water that are contaminated. - Beginner Fisherman, mostly bank fishing
Any thoughts on how the Sahara and Miraval compare? The Sahara seems like really good value, but is the extra cost worth choosing the Miraval?
Exactly
I know y’all may not see this, but huge shout out to your “little Allen” River2Sea Bully Wa frog. I caught my PB on it about a month ago among some lilly pads.
Thats awesome!!
Never even heard of either of those shimano reels. Symetre, saros and stradic are the main ones.
Once my dark sleeper loses it tail. I remove the plastic and install that jig hook/weight rig into a 4" Scottsborro
Matt, again, which budget rod would you recommend? A medium or medium light? Fluorocarbon 8-10lb or braid?
Personally, I'd go medium light with braid. That will give you the best of both worlds.
@@tacticalbassin thanks again, the reel is truly amazing! I went with 8lb Sunline FC Sniper paired with a St Croix premier medium light rod. I fished behind my house where the fish have seen just about everything I throw (so pressured water 😉). It was amazing, in 35 minutes today I had 7 strikes and landed 5 bass on a Ned rigged ZMan Crawz. Two largemouth in the 1-2lb range and three peacock bass 1lb, 3lb and a 4lb fish that fought like an 8lb largemouth. The rod and Miravel reel worked like a charm! Thanks again!
So I'm fishing a Ned slowly over rock piles watchin this video when I take a devestating loss of like a 6 pound largie ! Was so into the video didnt expect that tank at all ! Extremely informative guys thanks
Miravel sounds nice but the Fuego is the same weight in the 2500 size for $99 and has magseal. The Fuego has some flex but is the Miravel $30 better?
Time will tell. I checked that Fuego weight right after filming... I was comparing to BG which is significantly heavier.
I love skirt less chatterbaits for smallmouth fishing I find they don't really bit the skirted version
Agreed! Smallies love that slimmer profile
Tim have a look at UA-cam for Rabid Baits Rab Shad I have been mopping up stripers with it I haven't tried on LGB yet. I stumbled on these shopping around. I have nothing to do with their company or sales, just a great unique soft jirkbait .
The date for the Miravel at TW was Oct 31...its been January for the last month, now it will be 2024...
So my son latched on to the opening bell and I was a little more like you and hesitant. We go out to use it the first time and he proceeds to school me with it. I mean they were trying to kill it lol needless to say I have one of every color 🤣 my favorite is the perch color though
Ha! That sound is really unique, I'm not surprised!
@@tacticalbassin Yeah honestly he was experiencing a low hook-up ratio but we were fishing around cover so no treble. I didn't pay attention to what setup he was using either.
Would you guys ever do a review on the Googan rod and reels?
They don’t use junk
@@paulkimble6223 ok boomer
Anyone have a link to or know the name of that video Matt put out a few years ago where he acquired the original dippin stick and then went into the story behind how pitching and flipping came to be?
@@mr.fatbasstard_--_ Thanks for this! RIP Mr. Dee. Absolutely, his legacy lives on.
@@mr.fatbasstard_--_ That's awesome. you must have a wealth of stories to tell. Matt does credit Dee and says that this was an actual rod he used. After Matt caught his first fish on it he retired the rod.
@@mr.fatbasstard_--_ Thanks. you too!
You need a zippered hoodie!!!!
I hate having to take my hat and glasses off to take a hoodie off. A zipper fixes all that. If you make a zippered hoodie I will buy one.
So the Miravel is to the Nasci as the Vanford is to the Stradic, yeah?..
Thats exactly right 👍🏼
Strange that the Big/Mega Bopper isn't offered in any variation of black or black/blue.
Huh, you're right. I hadn't noticed that
@@tacticalbassin Little bummed about that, just because I love throwing swim worms and I fish a lot of water with just inches of visibility.
Totally understand! Another one that ALMOST made this video but I needed a couple more days on the water with it is Yamamoto's new swimming worm. It's solid too! The Speed Senko: bit.ly/3D8qh7P
Hey guys,
Have you ever noticed how when you have throwed everything in the tackle box, seems like you have covered all the bases and can't seem to get stubborn fish to do anything and then you call it a day, head towards the boat ramp and you see 50,000 fish about two football fields in front of the boat ramp, looks almost like there saying " ha ha ya'll didn't fool us". ???
Don't never pass up fishing a boat ramp, especially one with a pier. The state or just people drop brush piles there. Last year, during the blue back spawn, Several times I noticed the Blue Back just hanging out over the concrete at the boat ramp. This was in the daylight, amazed me.
@@royheape6872 thanks Roy,
Here in north cacolacky they won't let us
fish boat ramps. Hey Roy, what is a blue back anyway? I will incorporate fishing a hundred yards in front of the ramp, off shore of course. I was just wondering if anyone has notice that happening after a hard day fishing. Thanks
when are you and Tim gonna go fishing together?
We've got a bunch of trips coming up 👍🏼
look how the handle does NOT roll down from it's own weight .i got a 2500 miravel from bass pro 2 weeks ago . it is not a smooth reel , it drags slightly when reeling in line . it is not as smooth as my diawa BG or my RG2500hAB or even my kastking sharky 3 . i'm very disappointed in this shimano miravel and it is going back to bass pro for a refund .
You lost me at $129. I'll stick with my $30 Shimano Sienna thank you very much.
The reel on tackle warehouse looks nothing like the one you show
Yeah, studio lighting vs real world. That's the same reel 👍🏼
@@tacticalbassin I was wondering because it looks silver and has a completely different handle. Thank you for getting back to me. I love you guys keep up the awesome content
Wow, I bet the fish really like them Reels ,not my wallet I really can't see me spending this kind of money on a reel sorry I'll just get a second hand gear
Great review! Hold on to your wallet!
😂😂😂
What the heck! Went to place an order, pulled out my wallet & there's a padlock on it. 🤔 This has to have something to do with tactical bassin' buyers guides
😂😂😂 You won't be disappointed... buyers guides are coming 😁
Is the buzzer a knock off / remake of the evolution grass burner?
