That reel sounds and performs so much better vs that pos ffp reel. You can see and hear it in the video. Those sand perch are awesome fish to eat. White and mild I remember recommending that rod to you. Wanna have a little more fun with it ? Go to a 1000 size reel an use either 6 or 8lb braid on it. Man it's sooo fun and very addicting
Nice day out there! I've got two Fuego's and a new Ballistic MQ LT, love 'em all. They are so smooth and lightweight it's amazing, and have enough guts for bigger stuff. I have landed some healthy black drum, tarpon and bull sharks with them. You'll have some footage with some screaming drag before too long, I'm sure of it!
I wish Penn had smoother options. I only use them for chucking bait out but it’s nice to see the battle 3 is pretty smooth compared to their other reels, it just has that thump when the spool switches oscillation. So hard to kill those reels lol. The spheros SWA offers IPX 8 for a $200 value so that’s the point where I wouldn’t really consider Penn for a wet situation as the only reel that can compete is the authority.
I'm looking for a new reel for a 7'6" MH rod. Narrowed down to BG MQ and Procyon AL. I know you've tried both. I fish Long Island for anything from Fluke to Striper on soft plastics/bucktails. Any recommendation on which reel?
Got 2 BG MQs. Great for the price. Only gripe is that it takes more force to reel under load than expected. While a small detail, it may be worth experimenting with a Ballistic MQ to see if that changes. Love them so far.
Make some more black drum videos love watching em
I just got a 3000 BG MQ and love it. A lot smoother than the battle iii (granted a more expensive reel)

Thanks for another awesome episode
I have the same exact setup you used in this video, and it’s great for catching many different fish
Great reel I have the same one! Just watch the cap on the reel handle. Mine fell off first trip out.
Same here and to my fuego LT as well
@tristanzsk841 do you mean the dudt cap on the opposite side from the handle?

I have the same exact set up, love it! My fav rod in my arsenal.
Funsize tarpon! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I love how smooth Diawa is but I like opening up my own reels so I go with penn but all brands are great to me

@@fantomphoenix6170 I didn’t know that about the spheros interesting
Good morning and good fishing me friends ❤️👍
Nice fishing buddy 👍👍👍...
Great video. How do you like the 7'4 Banshee? I have the same model but in the medium heavy.
It's a good rod! Very light but still has enough power when you need it
