Always appreciate when you take the time to explain equipment and the best and not the best , can’t wait to see the Jackhammer in action , let’s go!!!!!!
Never had a problem with the silver max. It was really smooth and had some good casting to it
Philip Nguyen I’m not sure why but man I just couldn’t get it right lol
love the video... really liked that you dived right into the content instead of wasting half the video on non-sense... most other youtube anglers forget that if we are sitting all day watch video's then we are losing time out casting those lines.
Thank you for watching 😁! And sometimes I like to do videos like that, kind of a way to tell the day’s story a little differently. Especially if I’m trying to incorporate my kids in the video. But most of the time I like getting straight to the point for the exact reason you mentioned. Thanks again for watching!
I’ve got three Sivlermaxes and I love them! I really like to use them on my flipping rod
Dude you have so much content! It’s awesome thank you
Thanks for making this video. You gave me some damn good reels to look at for under $100. 👍👍
My Silverman is dialed I love it! I have two of them now, just all around tough reel
my silver max is 5 years old and great. love it.
I have two silver maxes and I've enjoyed using them both. They've been the BC I used to learn with. I've used them so much both thumb bars cracked. I was able to replace them both relatively cheaply. The one thing that I don't like about them is that they are slow reels at 6.4:1. I didn't know why that mattered at the time I bought them. I was able to buy one for $30 off ebay and $40 off amazon.
My man! Love the channel...but I do have the Abu Garcia Silver Max and absolutely love it! It did take some tweaking though to really dial it in, however I must admit that I think it’s great now. Thx for the recs and opinions on the reels though. Great advice!
Another one that I love is the lews classic pro bait caster, it is extremely cheap but it works so well!
Picked up the Carbon Fire BC few weeks ago and have been very pleased.
First yak pak video I love it I subscribed right away! I was also wondering if anybody has any baitcasting tips. I backlash almost every cast. I even try to use my thumb.
I love these style Videos really helps when yo cant always get out and do the research yourself
Jason Beck Fishing and that’s what I love doing for everyone. Every time I make one of these type videos I do it because I want to help others 🙏🏼😁 thanks for watching Jason!
Super good reel is the Abu Garcia Revo X. I bought the combo as my first caster and I love it. Smooth, quiet and handles braid very well. Hard to beat reel for $100. $130ish for the combo. Rarely ever get backlash and 99% of the time it’s user error, you definitely need to try it out if you haven’t and include it in a video at one point, would like to see your input on it.
i got the mock1 as soon as it came out and its still smoother than my lews pro series
Just bought a bass pro qualifier 2 for my first baitcast, got it for 85 down from 99 and I really like it. I was able to dial it in fairly quickly and have only had backlash from user error. I own a couple pfleuger spinning reels and love them as well, would def love to try them in baitcaster
Lew's all day!!!
lojo.fishing yessuh 👊🏼😎
Ewww, Lews is pure trash. Revo’s all day ya damn pond fisherman
Abu all day
@@aidannaasko2673 shimano
@@bigaproduxions117x6I personally love shimano but I think lews is great they offer good quality products for an affordable price and they are willing to partner with smaller fishing youtubers
The silver max was my first baitcaster and I got it about 3-4 years ago I still use it and live it
I just got a mach 1 combo 150$....and I absolutely love it..got it dialed in quick and cast a mile...love your channel brother keep it up..
mountain state fly tying thanks! And ok glad you like that combo! It’s a good one!
I like anything Lews , I found a guy that got a Mach 2 combo for a gift and he used it once and didn’t like a baitcaster so I was able to talk him into selling it to me for $50!
For $100 or below, I absolutely am in love with the 13 Fishing Origin C. But still love fishing the Lew’s Laser MG, slp, and the LFS. My new sleeper is the Bass Pro Shops Carbonlite 2.0 8.3:1 which is made by Lew’s for BPS. Great stuff as always Tj🙌
Manny B. Thanks Manny! And those LFS reels are something special 👌🏼
I found a silver max floating in the lake last year and it’s been a beast. Just use my own rods of course.
I agree with the 13 concept! Concept Z is amazing 😍
I buy the $5 and under Chatter Baits and some Zoom plastic crawfish, and twister tails to go on them. I use Trilene Big Game and use some leaders made from about high-end fluorocarbon leaders about 24 inches.
I have 3 American Hero combo setups and absolutely love them. Let my buddy and his brother try them out and they loved them so much they bought themself a combo set. I love Lews and like you would recommend.
The lew lfs is an amazing reel for 99 dollars. Have 3 of them. A 5.6.1, 6.6.1, and the 7.5.1. All have been perfect
Just watched your promo on baitcasters like what you had to say purchased Lew's baitcaster on Amazon arriving Friday
I swear by the jackhammers as well I love them. I've done my own comparison and the Jackhammer weigh excels the Chatterbait in my opinion. I like using it kind of like a jig with a rage tail trailer. Roll tide
Tom Collier sounds like it works great! I’m gonna be out filming it this week
Same here. Wasted money on other ones, untill I got tired of seeing my buddy tear them up on the jackhammer.
Another great video TJ thank you! Hey what do you think of the American Hero spinning combo? Have you done a video on it?
Bret Maynard thanks Bret! And I have but it’s been a long long time ago. The spinning combo is phenomenal!
The 13 origin is really smooth and can lock it in pretty quick!
Thanks for the information, just getting into bait casting.I gotta start somewhere. BTW, beautiful kids. ( they all are ) right? Good for you, and great for all of us subscribed
The sick stick by Favorite is on sale for $80 and comes equipped with spool speed bearings, I got one and it is smooth👍
Leroy Famjam I have spool speeds in all my 13 fishing reels and I can’t speak highly enough of them! I absolutely love them
You can keep Favorite anything.
Love all the info I must say my first baitcaster was the mach1 combo and I absolutely love it but lew's does have a lfs baitcaster for $99 and it's amazing also
William Conley thanks William! And yes the LFS is such a great reel!
I picked up the Shimano SLX and it is smooth. It feels like it has more than 3 bearings in it. I do mainly use all Shimano reels but I was really impressed for $79.99 when I got it on sale.
Nick Johnson dude that sounds like you caught it on a great sale!
I stopped buying from stores awhile back when u can get Lews half price on ebay. But i own several reels around the $100 & best IMO right now is the Bass Pro Carbonlite 2.0 paired on my Duckett Triad. That being said I just ordered my first Kastking so I'm eager to try their products
Just randomly stumbled upon this video. Really appreciate your honesty. Could you do one for Spinning reels? Not sure if you did one already.
Thanks for watching! I have done one in the past, but I need to update it because it’s been about two years.
I know im late in the video but i want to thank you for the videos im getting my first bait caster and im thinking about getting the favorite absolute series rod and a piscifun torrent reel to go with it
That’s be an awesome set up man!
I know I’m a year late but , I caught my PB ON that silver max . 6 pounder . And I’m still using that reel today
My silver max has been great the past year I have had it, I learned how to use a bait caster on it and if it is dialed up correctly it is great but I am interested in upgrading to something better like a Shimano SLX.
Hey another great video as always man! I have a couple of silvermax reels I like them for what they are, there definitely not a promax or revo but work well. If I was gonna spend $100 on a reel I'd drop it on the Abu Garcia Revo X as i will be very soon to add with my SX and STX
Dude I absolutely have to get a Revo X!! I keep hearing great things about that!
I have the Aba Garcia Revo STX. Absolutely awesome reel.
Been using my Carbon Fire for about a year now and never had an issue from it at all. Love the 7.5:1 ratio. Also caught a 5lb 6oz on a silver max this year and too many to count in the 3-4 range. It's not the greatest reel, and if you shake it you can feel the handle shaking with it🤣 but it does perform pretty well when you hook into a nice one. But that Carbon Fire is a beast though man
I tried the american hero because of your channel and its still my go to reel. Caught a few trout on it too
That is always awesome to hear! I’m glad you took the chance on it and love it. And also thank you for watching!
The Abu Garcia REVO X is the best reel I’ve ever used around that $100 mark. I can find them at my local tackle shop for around $80. It feels like a $130+ reel. I’ve also just bought a 13 fishing Origin FB and it’s a good one too. But that REVO X is by far my favorite.
I love my Mach1! I have all lews casting reels. Absolutely love them.
Donnie McMasters I love Lews as well! They make such great reels 👌🏼
@@FishingWithYakPak I guess it's because the first quality reel I bought was a lews reel. I have just stuck with them. Tried other reels and just didn't like them except oddly Picifun. They make great reels. Both nothing else is a lews.
I have the promax and love it
The base slx is really nice very smooth for only 4 bearings. Quality not quantity Looking at picking up another soon to phase out some old old gear
mach 1 may be bad, but i would definitely consider trying the mach 2 if you ever can it is great!
Good video Yak 👍💯
Thank ya Troy!
I have the Mach 1 and it works just fine
Yakpak I've been watching for a long time and I wondered if u ever used the lews mach smash and if so what do u think about it thinking about picking it up
I use the silver and black max and i love them
You need more subs. You deserve them!
Thanks man, I really do appreciate you saying that.
I have the lews American hero and I love it it casts so smooth and far!!!
Yes it does. It’s super nice for the money it cost
I used to have a silver max, experienced the same thing you did. Absolutely could not dial it in what ever I did
I got the slx as an anniversary gift and it's the only reel I've used so far this season. After almost 2 months of use I've had only 3 or 4 backslashes, 1 being because I got a tree behind me on a cast. Definitely doesn't feel like a 4 beating reel
Bearing*
I have 1 lews American hero and had to exchange it so giving it another go i also have 2 Abu Garcia black max and I love them
Went to Dick's to get a Ugly Stick medium heavy baitcaster rod. $25.00 over anyone else. Their lure selection was the shits. Very little and high dollar! The highered helped sucked. Never going back again. Ordered on line from Wal-Mart. Piece of cake and prices were awsome! Good buy Dick's. Shawn
A pro fisher says the 2 lower Abu Garcia was garbage, broke down within 2 months of use… worm drive stopped working, the casting plate stopped returning to up position and into gear… he owned 3 of each and they all had the same issue.
My opinion, for what it's worth ...... for bait casting reels under $100 Kastking: Spartacus 6.3:1, Royal Legend 7.2:1, and Speed Demon 9.3:1. I've used these reels for 3 years now and have never had a problem with them. Spartacus is my favorite. BTW No reel is made in USA. China, Korea, Japan, and Sweden.
One more comment the SLX is Awesome by I've been fishing one for two months now and have not bird nest yet I love it
Tom Collier what Shimano reel would you compare it to if you could get close enough?
YakPak Outdoors It is close to the Shimano curado k
YakPak Outdoors the Shimano slx In my opinion is the best reel at the $100 price point
Chad Kieffer the Lew’s LFS and the Shimano SLX have to be the two best $100 baitcasters you can get! SLX if you throw lighter baits, LFS is you don’t! Great options and super video
I agree. I love mine. I just upgraded to the SLX DC. I love it to. Great for the price
I have a 13 Fishing Concept TX and it is my absolute favorite! It took me no time at all to dial in. I'm excited to try out the Inception SZ.
I want the Concept TX & a Concept E as well, just don’t wanna fork that much out on em 🤣🤷🏻♂️
I know they’ll be worth EVERY penny though.
@@FishingWithYakPak for reals though. I'm saving up for that Inception SZ. Adulting is hard...
I have 2 Abu Garcia silver max. One is from Walmart and is crap. However I bought one from Bass Pro and is the actual made in Sweden reel, it is great, totally different
Great video! IMO, best sub $100 casting reels...
1. Daiwa Fuego CT
2. Abu Garcia Revo X
3. Pflueger Supreme
4. Lews Speed Spool LFS
5. BPS Pro Qualifier
Man I HAVE to get a Revo X! You’re like the 50th person that has said they’re awesome.
YakPak Outdoors
For sure. Great reels. I currently have five. All on Falcon rods. Picked them up for about $70 a piece on sale. Easy to dial in, smooth casting, and solid drag. Now, in the $100-$120 range, the Daiwa Tatula CT is insanely good!!!
I own several Lew’s LFS reels!!! That’s my go to all around reel!!!
The LFS will go down as one of the absolute best $100 reels
Definitely can’t beat the lews American hero stuff! I love mine. I have the combos in open and baitcast and it’s just as nice as my Mach 2 setup
Agreed 🙌🏼
I have one of the newer Carbon fires and it feels basically exactly the same as my Mach 2
Anyone try the megajaws reel? Thinking of getting my first Baitcaster! So convicted like this video dude seems to be truthful and compassionate...
Frankybaby 89 megajaws!?!? I haven’t heard of them yet. I’m gonna go look into them here in a little while! Thanks for watching Franky!
My favorite is the Shimano SLX hands down the best. I’m not really a fan of 13 stuff had some pretty bad experiences with them but that’s just my opinion. Nice video
I have a silver max and love it. I’ve beat the shit out of it over the past few years. I fight with it for the first 5 or 6 casts every time I pick it up for the day, but after that it’s golden. I have that and my Lew’s speed spool and tournament MB and you can’t go wrong with them. The tournament MB got me wanting to spend a little more than what I normally would on a reel next time just to see what else I’ve been missing out on.
My silver max has been great get it set and it’s perfect
I just got the American Hero, and it's the smoothest reel I've ever touched
I got mine two years ago and it still is very smooth
I have a Mach 1 and it works very well for me
Hey TJ the shimano lsx reel is a great reel i have one and i love it.
Richard Lovett I think I’m going to be getting one soon. A lot of people are telling me they love it!
I want to try the jackhammer just to see if it's worth it. I guess it comes down to if they are bitting or not! 🤘🤑🤘
In all honesty that’s probably right lol
I have two silver max's and haven't had any issues with either.
I have a silver max i got mine dialed and perfect
Gucci Plays i got black max
I also have a silvermax casting, it’s been a good reel. It’s on a berkley lightning rod. Nice set up
@@bigaproduxions117x6 I have the same setup! I also have a berkley cherrywood.
Great vid! This did help me. I think I'd like to try the Phleuger President. Or however you spell it! Lol. Thanks man!
That thing is awesome Craig! I think you’ll love it!
@@FishingWithYakPak Thank you! I will start looking and checking prices in my area
Lol just saw this one...go to fishermanfactorydiscount.com or something like that and look, they sell the Pure Fishing brands cheap sometimes and I am sure some of the higher end Plueger's are marked down right now, I'll link it if I have it still. The reconditioned ones are all marked but sometimes it's some nice reels cheap new.
@@bassnazi4713 Thank you very much!!
Guess what, I just got a baitcaster rod AND reel pairing for under $60! So far so good; video coming soon as I catch a few fish on it.
BTW...my favorite lightweight spinning reel is a Pflueger President.
The Fishing Family yeah the spinning president is an awesome reel as well!
My first lowprofile baitcaster was a Shakespeare lol it was well junk but it cost 20 or so lol than I went with a Pflueger patriarch(200$) I want to try there supreme model next it is around 100$ my friend like his
I just got a silver max a min ago and going to test it
I have not used the Mach 1 and although Mach 2 is more than a hundred dollars it Is great reel. I have the SLX and so far it has preformed well.
My man that the one I’ve been waiting on
Andrew Pennington 👊🏼😁 thanks for watching Andrew!
YakPak Outdoors I like the point ya make on how the particular reel wasn’t good for you but could be good for some one else, like I said earlier I must have the only bad black max ever produced because every one else including your self had great experience with the reel, yet for your the Mach 1 was bad but for me one of my favorites, That lews will cast my lighter baits a mile, and the line never even begins to flare up off the spool, A buddy and me took that reel yesterday and my lews laser txs combo from academy and decided to sling them absolutely as hard as we could to try and make them backlash and neither one even came close. Absolutely mind blowing, if you have never tried the $80 Lews laser txs from academy you have got to try it, i wish lews sold the reel separate from the rod, not that the rod is bad I just want more of the reels lol
Great video bro... thanks for your service bro
Gottogetem Wallace thanks Wallace! And thank you for the support! 🇺🇸
@@FishingWithYakPak hey what's a good budget braid and good lb test in the budget braid... bro no need to thank me... it is easy to support when the channel is super in quality
Great video bro..Wich one u like better?
You'll love the Jackhammer. You can waste your money on the other ones? Or get what works. That Jackhammer is killer
Pflueger honestly is like the Honda Of the fishing world, they make a ton of Accords and Civics for anglers and they last forever ..... it’s honestly crazy we don’t buy them more.... I have a spinning thats it. Oh you can get Jackhammers for 15.99 on tacklewarehouse guys
I have the Mach 1 and I haven’t had any problems yet.
I have the 13 tx to me it just a origin in the different color but definitely a good reel. Personally I think the Lew’s speed spool is best 100.00 or less reel. Has duel braking systems and really smooth..
Kenneth Elliott definitely agree! The speed spool is great, it just wasn’t on the shelves. Lews makes amazing stuff no doubt.
Just bought a mach 1 and love it
Hopefully it holds up
I think it will, the Mach 1 is good. I personally just had a bad experience with it.
I like my Silvermax too. Caught my pb on it last spring. Halfway through my 2nd year on it. I don't really use the silly little flippin switch for anything though.
Yeah I never really understood that little switch either lol
I use the switch just to stop my line when I’m messing with the lure in my hand. Not really thinking it does anything but gimmick. Love the feel though.
That switch is the only difference between the silver and black max
I heard some really good things for the slx.
The Shimano SLX is by far the best reel for $99 hands down. I own Shimano, 13 Fishing, Lews, and Abu Garcia reels. I recently bought an SLX to give it a try and boy oh boy was it amazing. It does only have four bearings but Shimano uses high grade quality ball bearings so smoothness is butter. I highly suggest anyone looking for a budget quality reel please give this a shot.
Dude you just sold me lol! But for real I’m gonna probably pick one up and see what all the fuss is about. 👌🏼
@@FishingWithYakPak You will be impressed I guarantee it bro
@@FishingWithYakPak Shimano knocked it out of the park with the SLX. I now have 2 of them. I also have citicas, curados, chronarchs, and a core 100mg.
Pond Jumperz do you know if the combo is any good?
Phlatt Fishing The SLX rod is actually a very good rod. I have the combo myself and I really enjoy it.
I dropped $13 for the Thunder Cricket, no fish yet. I also have the SLX and it is sweet!
I m looking at a Diawa.. I have a free quantum prograde that was given to me. It's not bad. But it is a little slow.
The Slx is good for frog fishing and jiging
Love my Mach 1
I just got a Mach 1 so far so good nice distance casting with a 6'10 rod. If you like something better send it to ya boy I'll try in Tallahassee
The lews carbon, the one i got i like but have not used it engouh yet to make my mind up. My favorite lews is the speed spool, got both of mine $19 each combo at walmart and caught all my big bass on them. I do love the abu gracia revo, its pretty badass reel.
will freeman I really wanna get a Revo X next!
@@FishingWithYakPak My revo x is the 7.3:1, got it on one of the h20 xpress 7ft rod. I love that set up, its my crank bait set up. Would you do video like this on what is your current favorite rods and ones you wouldnt recommend?
I have a silver max and it’s the best one I have used so far
Can you do a pool test of the regular chatterbait and the Jackhammer? Told that the Jackhammer cuts to the side when you kill it.
I will definitely do my best. I have a pool in my neighborhood but I’m not sure they’d like it if I did that lol. But I definitely want to try it now that you mention that
