The Daiwa legalis is hands down best budget real I’ve ever used. The drag is very good super smooth all around a dream to fish with. Definitely a reel to check out for people not wanting to break the bank. Great video as always Deebo keep up the great work.
I just picked up a pair of the Lew's Custom Lite rods, one casting and one spinning. So far I've fished the casting rod, 7ft, medium heavy, fast, paired with my Daiwa SV TW, spooled with 12lb test fluorocarbon, to a 1/2 oz Thunder Cricket with Mr. Twister Curly tail, and had a great day. I'm very happy I brought this rod.
Be careful with the 12lb line. That lure will most likely snap off. I usually use like a 30-40lb braid to a 14lb leader. That way if it gets in some grass or I hook a true giant I can bury that hook deep.
But if you’re killing it with 12lb then by all means.
I just noticed what reel you were using and I completely agree with the line size….maybe just straight 14lb Fluoro…I’m scared for ya 😂
I really appreciate your advise. I've had 14lb test fluorocarbon on that reel before, but didn't like it, might have been just the brand I was testing with. So far I haven't had any issues with the 12lb test, and on most of the hook sets they were pinned good. However, when the grass there gets really thick and matted, I'll definitely be going back to braid, 40 or 50lb test.@@titaniumcrayon3090
@@titaniumcrayon3090 I really do love braid, but I've noticed the fluorocarbon has better manners on the spool, Haha. Oh, one of the things I did that gives me a little more confidence with the 12lb fluoro, is I started using the San Diego Jam Knot, a very strong knot.
Hey Debo: I got the BASS X when the logo was blue. Then they went to gaudy green. And now they're using red (FYI: the reason for the red is to match nicely with first time ever St. Croix "SEVIIN" reels).
The blue is still the best imo.
Mmm new gear.
Thanks for the Gear talk Debo! And as you do explain items very well and honestly! Enjoy your week!
I've donated so many lipless to my lakes and pond's.
Aird x is super comfortable in their baitcaster version of this rod. Haven’t tried spinning. Could see it being awkward tho!
Thanks for the video! Always helpful to see what your combos are.
Excellent video. The no fade braided line really caught my eye. Thanks for all you do.
Have to check out that P Line braid, thank you
I really miss GanderMountain. They were my favorite to go in and shop at. I also didn't like it when Bass Pro Shop bought out Cabela's either.
You in Michigan?
@@tims_always_fishing7117 - yep
I also liked Gander. I was very impressed with their rod quality. I have a handful of rods that perform much higher than their price point.
Great video I’m gonna have to try that no fade braided line
I bought the lews custom lite 7 3 md/heavy. Paired with a custom SLP reels sleek blacked out combo. The rod is definitely stiffer. Feels like a heavy. It’s a tad heavy in weight too. The reel seat also seems to be a tad too high so it runs a lil weird in your hands. Regardless still a good rod
When my Gander closed they turned it into Camping World. Now that's closed lol. Hoping they put a Bass Pro in. 😂😅
I appreciate you giving us the good and bad for each rod, reel, etc. That Lew's rod looks good. Thinking about trying that one, maybe with an LFS ? Thanks Debo
Really nice gear review video Debo, yeah, I have been at this for 5 or 6 years now, but I still get a lot out of these reviews and basic videos .
Debo, as a bank beater, often getting thru the trees is tough so I have a Medium 6'-6" 2 pc. Daiwa Arid-X paired with the previous model Daiwa Regal LT 2500D-XH, and I also have a St. Croix 2 pc. 6'-6" Triumph Med Light paired with a Daiwa Exceler LT 2500-XH. While I think that cut-out on the reel seat of the Arid-X does aid in sensitivity, I agree the full reel seat my St. Croix, feels a little bit better and I'm not second guessing how I hold it. Love the Video.
Debo! You were asking about our favorite jerkbait rod for you to try - you MUST try the Shimano Expride B 6’10” medium.
Hey Debo, love the gear talk👊 I paired a Nexave with an Aird X rod. Really pleased with this combo at $100.
Great video. What is your favorite rod for dragging a worm as far as being sensitive?
New Toys! I hate when they don’t fit the threads down.
Last year, I paired up a St. Croix Triumph, medium/fast 6' 6" spinning rod with a 2500 Shimano Nexave...awesome combo.
Oh yea I have been a fan of the Revo SX baitcaster for a while, I picked up a new one this year, haven’t tried it yet and not sure why other than being lazy. I can’t wait for your review of the Bass X, also a fan of ST. croix, wondered if they were descent. Thanks for the information sir.
I look forward to seeing what you think of the Abu Revo SX, I really like the 2 I got so far. A shimano spinning reel walk through would be cool as well.
Nice Channel you have here...I am always down for some gear reviews!...I just picked up the Lews Ti pro Baitcaster combo this week and cant wait to throw some lures this weekend...I actually bought the reel from a friend barely used for $125....its super light and smooth...Ti pro rod is the 7' 4" Heavy action.
Thank you Debo for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do these videos. I personally like the bass X spinning rod. Debo maybe you can try the K-9 fishing line on one of your unboxing. The line is super strong. Have a great week thanks again
I remember the good old days when the bass x was 100$
Great video Debo 👍👍👍
Awesome video. Daiwa Regal is hands down my favorite spinning reel for the money. Glad you found the Bass X spinning rod to be comfortable at the reel seat, I despise mine 😂 just goes to show how nice it is that there are so many designs and options - something for everyone.
Debo is spot on with the shimano nasci / st. Croix bass x combo. Very good choice! 4:20
I'd like to see how last year's updated SLX and Tatula rods compare to those rods. I think there is a megabass rod too that we got to see briefly.
Probably was a levante
I agree 100% about the EVA by the reel nut. Def way more comfortable on the finger over a long period. Thanks for the info!
True, but I prefer cork. Only one rod I own has cork over the reel nut. It's a shame that more companies don't cover the reel nut, much cleaner look in my opinion, and a better purchase when you go to tighten it.
Ayo Debo , awesome video as always would love see a bunch of line up videos ie Diane style to those . Mainly the Shimano spinning reel line up . Along with your favorite rods at different price points and possible technique usage would be awesome 😎
Good review Debo 👍
St.Croix Physix is a rod I wanna try.
^ I’ve given up on buying budget gear, every time I do it ends in disappointment. I bought an Okuma 7’11” Heavy modfast Guide Select Custom Black from TW. The rod looks fantastic, the blank is terrible,heavy, and floppy imo, so I replaced it with KGB 7’11” XH modfast absolutely fantastic rod and worth every penny of it’s 325 price tag.
Yep, mine had that problem with the bass-x too. Omnia gave me a a st Croix triumph model instead. Phillip Cheek helped me get it traded in
Another guy had his rod break so me thinks there's a quality control problem somewhere.😢
I like $200-250 range for a combo. As a bank angler there’s so much out there now. … great video … as far as gen 5 revo goes, I wish they kept the locking centrifugal brakes, because on the gen 4 I only keep 2 internal brakes on. Other than that it’s a comfortable reel that is a caster. … I can’t wait to try abu’s x or sx spinning reels, they look good
Great video man I was thinking about trying some bass x rods especially for the price
Love the videos man, I'm a new subscriber but i noticed you said that you only go up to the miravel which is a nice reel but i would say to try the vanford, it's my new favorite spinning reel. Keep the vids coming, great content!
I bought a Sedona (3000) for a Medium Fast set up a couple of years ago and have been quite happy with it. I would probably replace the rod before the reel 😆. I picked up a Daiwa Laguna (1000) for an UL setup that’s working well but I wonder if I’ll run into durability issues, but nothing so far. I’m interested to see how they both compare to the Daiwa Fuego (2500) I bought for a dedicated Ned setup. Feel like not an apples to apples comparison, but maybe I won’t notice much as much of a difference as I expect 🤷🏻♂️.
If you were to pick one rod and reel brand and you could only use it what brand would it be for me it would be Shimano
They have the widest product offering and largest customer base in the rod&reel space.
I'm really interested in what you think of the Lew's rod after you use it.
Bass Blue sticker and then green sticker same rod everything. The Red new one has a different reel seat and better sensitivity.
Gear!!!! Love me some new gear videbos. I feel the same way about the Arid X spinning rod. Its great for light wire hooks. Especially a drop shot... 🍺 #ripgander
I do sincerely appreciate all you do my friend and the videos just keep me going. I’m a Virgo 9/16 so pretty Humble Guy and don’t say it as much as I should. Thank you Devon.. I like the looks of the Regal but so many Daiwa reels lol to check out.
Have the old model bass x paired with the Okuma Hakai. Love the combo, the cork pulled away from the bottom reel nut. Little bit of super glue fixed it right up.
Had the same issue
Love my shemano reel!
Picked up a new Cashion Icon Frog rod this year to replace my Abu Garcia Veritas. This year will be amazing for the frogs, just have to wait a few months. Have you ever fished the Cashion rods?
diawa xt imo best bang in 100$
I've been thinking bout a Duckett torch series, any thoughts?
the old generation Bass X has a terrible reel seat, mine broke after only catching a dozen bass on it, hopefully the new generation they fixed the reel seat issue. tight lines bro.
Thanks for the review, we miss you in the lives 😢
The real seat on my bass x came unglued and slid up the rod on a chatterbait hook set 3 weeks after I bought it. I sent a picture to st croix and they're sending me the new 2024 version. They told me to scrape off the serial number and throw the old one out, but I was able to fix the reel seat with some gorilla glue and thread tape so now I got two🤷
Great video Debo , have you looked into the Douglas Era rods $100 ?
Have you used any of the spro rods? I was looking at the slayer as a $100 ish topwater rod.
Hello, I am new to the channel and I have several 13 fishing baitcasters. I have the concept a2 and concept c2 with others from 13 fishing. They work flawlessly. I am just curious if you could recommend something new to try cause I am curious of how other brands perform. I am always wanting to something different. I would really appreciate it. I have been really enjoying your videos.
Lews Reactor, it’s sold at Walmart I’m very curious on your opinion !!
I just switched to almost all spinning rods late last fall i like them a lot i have 2 st.croix mojo bass spinning rods i love both mh but they are pretty stiff i just ordered a different brand one to try out we will see how good it is when opener comes thinking about using it night fishing
Cool. I do all my bass fishing on spinning rods. (contrary to popular biases)
Oh no here we go!! Why don’t you review any of the ugly stick rods?? Like the new carbon or the pro elite? Thank you for your videos I really enjoy the gear reviews and tackle videos.
Idk how I did it but I’m actually one reel short this year. I got a 7 ft Black Max with no reel. Wellllp guess I’ll have to upgrade cause we can’t leave talent sitting on the bench all game 😂😂
🔥🔥🔥🔥
What kinds of craw was that on the bass x spinning rod? Looked like the nikko craw.
This year I'm going to start building rods. No more wishing small things were different
Helluva ambition! Good luck
@@tims_always_fishing7117 thank u. I just ordered all the stuff this morning. I've been looking into it for a while now. I'd like nicer stuff than I can afford and this might be a way around that. Also there's always something I want to change, I like drop shot hook keepers, different length handle, better guide spacing, and so on. You can do all sorts of cool stuff. Check out mudhole tackle. They have a long series of monthly live shows that break down different aspects of rod building.
You should try the new Zillion rod and pair it with the Zillion reel!
I would say Lew's rods all tend to run stiff, I know all the ones i've got do. TBH I would still buy the 2nd gen bass x to save a little money, yes the epoxy on the locking nut will probably give out but in reality it was such an easy fix and it's a really good blank in that price range.
You need to do a review on the Brandon cob ark rods please
Which would you recommend for jerkbaits, the Daiwa Aird X Medium or Medium Heavy Casting rod? It's hard to guage which is best for jerkbaits. You mentioned and others have too, that the Aird X is softer than Daiwa's usual ratings. What do you think? Thanks!
Hey brother why you think about using vintage baitcasters now days? Awesome channel and helpful
I think you hit that Lews rod about 73 times while talking lol
The st croix bass x is suppose to be the same blank and all but they changed the reel seat due to supposedly people having issues with the old ones breaking but they was just coming unglued. Ive not had any issues so far. Oh and of course the changed the color scheme.
I've also never had a issue with 4x braid damaging stainless steel guides or aluminum oxide guides but I've had them eat up ceramic eyelet inserts. The way around that is to use 8x or higher braid.
I got me a old 18 rod suppressor ultra light casting rod it a nice rod but some are hi on it price they are on spring sale
I’m in a toss up between the new regal and the shimano you showed
Hey Debo are there Saturday evenings live show anymore?
I was going to ask the same thing !
Does it bug anybody who uses Shimano spinning reels The choke point they create between the spool roller and the bail? If you ever use a heavy leader line The connecting knot can get caught in there. Or is it just me?
I just bought a lews custom. It said soft plastics special. I don't know what that means.
Yeah my Gander got replaced with Camping World. You ought ta see their fishing section. Walmart is better. So sad.
My Gander had the best damn selection, miss that store 😢
I'm gonna spend a couple bucks more and get the HMG, comfortable handle and overall nicer rod than the bass x.
I got one Bass X rod and then no more. I got one HMG and then bought 3 more. Love them.
@Larry77777 bass pro has the trade-in event going on, donate an old rod or reel, or buy a 6$ reel to donate. 30$ off the hmg.
Looking forward to your opinions on the new gear. I recently picked up some of the beyond braid to try. It's recently priced and seems good, but I've still got to try it. I'm surprised you're not 100% satisfied with the aird x rod. I've got it paid with a lews speed spin, and it's by far my most used combo and very versatile in the medium heavy.
Megabass rods!!
I'll request the complete opposite of everyone and say..... Rod/reel combo under $50.00 😂 the last combo i bought 2 years ago was a quantum Bill Dance special edition that I've never even used... That and a bunch of lures just sit in the corner since i never go out anywhere..... Is cheap worth it ?
No, stay within your budget but a 100$ rod and a 100$ reel will be your best choice.
I’d say if you only fish a few times a year then cheap is fine . If you fish 2-3 times a week spend at least $100 on each
2024 Fishing line breakdown......it's time for me to re-spool my gear.......what's new.
That old version Bass X with that ugly lime green color was absolute garbage. I bought a 6’6 medium fast casting rod for poppers and small walking baits and while I was fighting a bass the locking nut for the reel broke so I had to hold the reel against the rod to land the fish. Sent it back to TW, they sent me another one and it did the same exact thing. Called TW they let me upgrade to a Mojo and just pay the difference. I’ll never buy another Bass X again and most likely won’t buy another St. Croix. Learned my lesson, I’ll stick to Daiwa and Shimano.
First! Maybe...
Curses! Not first.
Debo are u sponsored or do you just spent a lot of money???
Overall, as I am a taller guy who is a jerkbait afficionado, I'm disappointed in st croix's rod lengths. 6'8" is too short for me and the 7'1" rods they have are too long.
Love the gear talk ! Just picked up that Shimano reel ( on sale at Bass Pro for $50) and so far so good
I have been seeing a bunch of videos challenging the "common knowledge" of fluorocarbon lines. Basically testing stretch and abrasion resistance compared to mono. Curious what your take is on that. Maybe a video idea where you fish one of each without knowing what is spooled up?
