I just purchased the 7’4” Heavy rod for my specific frog rod and it’s light weight, has a lot of back bone, the blank is tapered beautifully, the skeletal area allows for great contact to the blank. Let me say color rods right now are huge in the industry but this rod is beautiful and elegant all at the same time, unmatched components in all of its construction and easily feels like a 200.00 rod. If you don’t pick one or several up you’re missing out! “Tight lines and kicking Bass”
Gene you've basically taught me how to fish (again) after 20 years away. Love the videos. I bought a defy black spinning rod, my first rod that wasn't something you could get at a drug store in a $20 combo and MAN the second I picked it up, I could tell this thing was unlike any fishing tool I'd ever held. I set out to be a one rod owner to start, but have a feeling I'll have a cabinet of 13 fishing gear sooner rather than later.
Bought my first 13 Fishing Fate casting rod about a month ago. Absolutely love the quality you get with the price. Might go with a Spinning Rod from them real soon.
My son just started fishing last weekend, caught 2 bass and I’ve showed him your channel, which I’m also watching since I’ve just came back to fishing after a long long hiatus
Fluke, I know you have videos on this but any tips on drop-shot rigs? I've been using the 13 fishing vertigo minnow with a 01 Trokkar drop shot hook and a 1/8th oz pencil weight. They are biting a ton but on every bite around 5-7 seconds into the fight, they are spitting the hook/bait. Do you think sizing up the hook to a 02 would matter that much? The setup is a 6'10" ML Muse Black and a Creed X on 6lb suffix mono. Great video as always! Thanks
Are you making sure the hook sits right? I use size 1 to 02 for dropshotting here in Utah and I rarely even need to set the hook very hard. With the hook sitting off the line curved up they hook themselves most of the time. Just a thought.
Are the tiny guides on the Fate Black baitcasters a problem with leaders? I always throw braid to mono/flouro with a uni to uni. Seems like it could be a problem, maybe not.
Gene! I am looking at an omen black gen 3 kayak rod in mH. But also looking at at croix bass x and doyns fury looking for any feedback on the 3 for bass usages.
Love my 13 rods. I'll miss the obnoxious green, but I'm always happy with improvements. I'll need to try out a reel again, but I've been wary since I dropped my Creed FB 3000 from a height of like 2 feet, a week after getting it, and it sheared a piece off and the spool no longer rises.
Would 13 fishing ever make a 6-foot medium and/or ML spinning rod? I grew up using shorter rods, and my 6ft med ugly stik is my go-to. I'm up in Maine and know a lot of people in New England with that mindset.
Cant wait for christmas so I have an excuse to buy so 13 fishing equipment what rod and reel should I get from them for fishing late winter early spring and spring down in southeast Texas near Beaumont?
As someone who has been around in this for a while 13 is a shadow of its former self they used to provide a jdm quality rod for a reasonable price ever since they dropped that green rod they have never had the same quality
Need some help I’m an amateur at bass fishing ready to buy my first bait caster and can only get one so what length action break rod would be sugested and what size real with what gear ratio would be good to fish every type of rig or lure would be best need a rod and reel for everything
I thought the Omen Yak was going to be bigger release. Fluke didn't cover them in this video of the "new" rods coming out and they weren't even featured during ICAST 2020. Given that, I think I'll go with the Cashion Kayak rods since there is more info regarding them.
lol you wearing a 13 shirt while he's wearing a simms.....so much for promoting the company haha jks now real question, just bought the fate steel cast edition. aside from the length what's the difference between the caster and steel edition, is it just he length and i guess the parabolic bend over the still tip from the caster? also i see the fate chrome bait caster not even available anymore why is that (which looks like its a discounted model if so what replaces it)

Always quality content from you Fluke. Thanks for all you do!
Tied my first fg knot for a drop shot rig today thanks to your videos. Thanks for the great info, your an awesome teacher.
Thanks Lindon
Love the new hook keeper placement. My Chrome spinning combo the line keeps getting caught under the keeper.

I really like the Defy Black rod, but I don't like the hook hanger. Maybe I just need to grab lower, but I found myself grabbing it all day.

You got me hooked on 13. Love the origin C and the concept c.

How heavy is the 13 Fishing Defy Black Spinning Rod 7'1" Med Lt? I heard that the Shimano Expride 7" Med is 3.78 oz.
I’m not sure. You can always look on the 13 Fishing website to check.
Love the video... great insight
How do I get sponsored by 13 Fishing?

We covered what are in stores now. The kayak rods will be out in the spring
@@Flukemaster i see. I guess TW showing them arriving Jan 1 on their site made me think they were coming sooner than Spring.
Fishing in Wisconsin anytime soon?
How is the customer service
Aren't they supposed to be making a series of rods for kayak fishing?
Yep. They will be available next spring
