"I dont care which rod you buy from walmart, If you use braid sensitivity will be okay" 😂😂😂😂😂
i stand behind these words!
Thanks for going through your setup. Really like older Legalis. Haven’t tried the newt model old one is far from getting worn out!
mine feels pretty good too! I'm not even selling it! I like it for some sub 100 rods..
I have a 5'6 ul and absolutely love it! Just got my Cardiff nx and its a work of art, very beautiful.
cardiff NX? is that a rod?
@@ifishcatfish yes its very nice. 5'4 ul, 2021 jdm tackle heaven
@@ifishcatfish do you like super ultra lights? Better than ul?
Have you had a look at the Shimano Cardiff native special ? Also at JDM tackle heaven.
@@fishingmaster99 for 1 gram jigs i prefer SUL. FOr 2g i prefer UL
Sometimes when bite is slow & trying to fan out and find scattered fish we like an underspin or an inline spinner.. really like it in the sping as well.
I have to be honest with you, i don't think underspinners are a good idea. The fish can see the blade and turn away. U will catch more fish without the spinner. This is just my opinion, i don't want to argue.
i have this same model rod, put the new sahara on it. lovely combo. Also have the older 5'6" with a 500 sahara, it seems faster and more sensitive but both are great. now if i could find the fish lol.
I agree with that. The old model is actually better for jigging
I can relate to wanting to make them bite a certain way. Then when I leave I think if I would have rotated baits or tactics I could have caught way more 😅
yup : )
New Sub good stuff
thank you sir! See you around!
The Shimano is beautiful, Victor. I have it on my list to check the Legalis out. I have the Regal, the Revros, and a little QZ-750, so far. Ordered another Presso rod earlier this week. Thank you for always sharing your experience and gear reviews. You’ve sold a lot of product for Daiwa! They should be paying you a commission.😊
i don't need their pennies, but i would love to develop a product with my design and their technology..
youve convinced me to buy this reel for my budget setups...i've never upgraded my reel bearings, but were you going to sell the kit to upgrade this reel ifish? no rush! i can't fish any time soon anyways
I am putting the bearings in the shop right now. The handle bearings tonight. The line roller probably tomorrow.
@@ifishcatfish Thanks a bunch! Just put my order in. I've never dabbled in reel maintenance or upgrades, but i'll take a stab at it
@@PredxRaptor The knob will take more time but its easier. The line roller is actually FASTER, but you have to be more careful. I can swap the line roller bearings in 60 seconds - its that fast. BUT, you have to make sure u keep the washers back in the same order! Also u will need that T9 screwdriver. I don't sell thtat screwdriver but i put a link so people can at least see it and find it at the local shop.
Are you going to modify drag clicker on your 2023 Legalis or are you happy with the stock sound as you mentioned in past that it is pretty good for stock.
im happy with the stock
Victor what reel were you using in your video
With 6’6” shamino rod
The old legalis..
Nice vid man hey have you fished any BFS
yes, i have. It's nice, if u cast heavier lures... I don't like negative emotions when im fishing though, and even if everything casts perfect, every hour i will have to fix at least one birds nest.. and i just don't want to do that. I think people who enjoy BFS enjoy the tackle more than the fishing.. i see them constantly talking about brakes and stuff... which i get because i have my own passions and i know how it feels, but this is not a passion for me..
@@ifishcatfish I completely understand I just really enjoy using smaller lures on casting reels I'm very proficient with them and don't get many bird's nests but I do love a good spinning reel to which is another reason I love your channel so much I look forward to more videos and really enjoy your content thank you for such great videos and I can't wait to try your jigheads
Hello sir, why don t you use braid anymore, and please what monofilament/ polyester do you recommend for perch fishing? Thanks
Thats a long story for another video. Use the thinnest mono u can work with. I like varivas lines but they are too expensive and dont really make much difference. They are just thin and have little stretch but u not really gona catch more fish with them
Almost a parabolic bend? I bought a Shimano "convergence" light action. 2500 size reel for catfish. First Shimano rod. Nice.
no, not almost parabolic, not like the green one in the video... : ) I will show the exact curve in the review but its a Moderate action.. the first half is still softer, but the entire half bends, not just the tip like a Fast Action
Have you ever tried the 13 fishing defy silver? Its a good ultralight alot of people i know have it. Might be out of stock though right now.
Yes, i tried it. Very stiff. Good if you have bass fishing background. I don't recommend it for crappie. Maybe for bluegill and trout..
@@ifishcatfish yea I've heard it's a fast action so I'd say it's for like bluegill and stuff. it's a true ultralight people say though. Just stouter action in the bend
Victor what can I do I have 2 2020 legalis 1000 size reel and the drag sound is very weak !!!!!!!! The blue ones what to do ???

Thinking about going with the 7ft Sensilite and putting 4lb mono. Your thoughts?
excellent for float fishing. OK for swimbaits.. spinner baits, spoons, that sort of stuff.
Why not use the smaller jig and attach a small shot weight a foot above?
Yep, braid sucks
U could.. i have done that, but it will not improve sensitivity. But u can get it to the bottom, yes..
I am thinking about buying exact same 6’6 UL one but also struggling with the crappie stix GS661P. Have you ever tried that rod and do you think is worth it for the extra 50 dollars? Thanks
did u search for reviews of that rod? Why are you 'struggling'? I know these rods have a million reviews.. What is your specific question, maybe i can help you if u have specific question..
@@ifishcatfish I mean which one you will buy for crappie between shimano sensilite 6’6 ul or crappie stix GS661P?
@@CHEFZFISHING i will buy the sensilite but there is more than 10 variables here, and my preferences are different.. I don't like stiff rods, but some people do. If u come from bass fishing, you will like the crappie stix more
@@ifishcatfish thanks for the info!! I think I will go with the shimano. Even I do bass fishing, still prefer soft and lightweight gear for the crappie.
Hello,is nylon line better for light jigs than braided line?thanks
I don't recommend braid for anything. Get some kind of thin mono or thin fluorocarbon, or if u really want sensitivity get some ester. Braid is just pain
The handle is what stood out to me. Address the handle. That green naught go well w my old Abu 33
Whats wrong with the handle? Felt nice..
I like the handle
How does it compare to the 6'5" Presso? Just curious
6’6 presso is lighter and probably more sensitive. Overall power of presso is lower. Presso is more finesse. But action is goddam similar. Makes me wonder if they copied the presso because of the presso success
Do you have any experience with a 6’6 2 piece presso?
Of course. I have so many videos with this rod. I love it for everything except twitching. Recovery a little slow and a little wobbly but ots my fav rod under 100
@@ifishcatfish what rod can you recommend for twitch/finnese ultra light for under 100?
Finesse is different from twitch. There are many rods that are finesse but not twitch. Daiwa presso is the most finesse rod under 100. But the tip is not that sharp and not the best for twitch. I used to recommend the old shimano for twitch, but now i don't know. If u can fish with a short rod, there is a Fenwick HMX 5'6 UL that is amazing, high end guides and feels sharp, but people don't like such short rods. I don't have good recommendation currently for a twitch rod.
i hate diawa reels they always get the line wrapped around the spool
you don't realize it but you just told us something about Yourself..
@@ifishcatfish how do i get the line to stop doing that
