Victor, you cannot imagine how much we think alike. My dream is to drive to Tennessee and fish with you one day on the way to Smokey Mountain Knife Works. You made me cry laughing about all the $h|tt¥ people. I too cannot fish until I also cleanup my fishing spots too bro. So glad you had better footing this time at this spot unlike last time when you caught that monster white bass.
Nice video Victor. That rod is right up my alley, I like that type of action since I hook into a lot of bass while crappie\BG fishing. I also agree, so frustrating to go to shore fishing spots and see garbage everywhere. Disgusting! And when those "grown ups" bring their kids, the chain just continues. ugh. Will let ya know how your grease works when i get it. Cheers.
VERY interesting you said that! I went to TN river yesterday and it was bass after bass, very few panfish, and i had a frikkn BLAST fighting them on this rod! I promised one subscriber to sell him the rod after the review and now i have to back out of the deal.... i feel bad but i don't want to sell it now.. : ) Even if i do this a couple times a year - still worth it!
Forgot to mention , i know your not one for braid but i had the same problem with the Varivas 1.3lb ester line . The noise through the guides and the choking of the casting distance with jig heads of 1 gram and under was unacceptable . Try Varivas super trout area master limited super premium pe 0.15 4.5lb test . Gosen fata resonater pe 0.12 2.5lb is even better because it comes in even thinner size . I think you may be suprised . Not converted but maybe you might find a place for it in your fishing with rods that have these tiny micro guides . They are both good lines .
I dont even remember, did i say in some video thatni hate braid? I do hate it… but dont remember ralking anout that. Im sure it has great performance but i dont like how it feels when i fight the fish. It is very harsh, i can feel the tear in the mouth of the fish. As for gosen, i tried their polyesters and i know they are good, every bit as good as varivas if u ask me. I just never found a color i can put on my tackle. They beed to sell clear color.
im sorry but it has to be said. I lived and fished around chicago, and even in some places where u can get killed u wont find so much fishing line and mountain dew bottles. And they keep being deposited, u can clean and clean and u never catch up!
I live in east Tennessee and I too encounter places where shitty people fish, and I too am sick of picking up after their sorry asses. Pisses me off so bad. I got a Daiwa Kage 6'1" ultralight a couple of years ago, it's a very different rod. I love it but the tip is the only thing ultralight about it. Where do I order the BG-1 heads?
1. Perfect summary of the Kage rod : ) 2. Jigs are sold out, unfortunately. Restock expected at the end of July. Sign for the newsletter if u want to be notified as there will be new versions, with a size 10 hook. 3. I appreciate u picking up the trash. Bitching is fine, as it raises awareness, but i see people bitch but then don't pick up anything. It's important to set good example because there is more good people and shitty people and some good people always get inspired by good deeds.
Great video. Thanks for picking up the trash. The Limousine Liberals will have us riding bicycles while look at us disgusted as they watch us going to work in the farm collective.
You were on a role my friend. Had me laughing from play to good bye. Shity people seem to garvitate to the shoreline and we have them here too. Maybe the fishing gods are already are reeking havoc on them. Seeing that their line is on the bank and not in their reels is a good sign they are struggling lol. Speaking of the Trout magnet, I picked up ten packs of the bison the other day just because they do so well but I did also grab 1 pack of the green and black. They get tons of action as well. I have a feeling most of them do. Now I kind of wish I had mixed it up more but it's hard to not throw what I know works.
I hope you stopped dressing the stumps at the bottom of your local reservoir with the BGs : ). When i get my next batch of jigs, I will send you one of my float prototypes. I'm still not happy with the finish but performance is... something that i think you will appreciate.
@@ifishcatfish That would be awesome to try. I did surrender to a thill slip float the past few days. Caught several nice fish and only got hung up once and that was my fault lol.
Sorry to say Victor but one spot I go to has trash cans every 100ft there is at least 8 of them. And yes we still fill our plastic bags up. I could of stayed in that corner for hours catching BG’s! Thanks for putting your setup information up in the corner, and for trying to keep area clean.
This is actually a problem here. Even if people want to put it in a garbage can, there are no garbage cans except at the biggest parks. So u need to be conscious enough to take the garbage all the way home, and these people just wont do that, no matter what u threaten them with
Good afternoon, Sir. I deal with the same problem as you are having. Some people don' t really care about leaving trash behind. It is bothering me quite a bit. They can bring stuff in, but they can take it back. Some of my favorite spots were being closed by game waden because of trash. Enjoy watching your YT.. Like the sound of your drag...
I swear, Victor, I love your videos but this one was stellar. You are so funny. Kudos for picking up all that trash. I believe everyone should carry a bucket with a lid to collect trash and then sit on it when they are bank fishing. Of course, people should realize that leaving junk is why so many areas get shut off to fishing. In Illinois, people also do dumb stuff, drown, and then the area is fenced off to fishing forever. This happened at the Crab Orchard spillway, in Wilmington by the dam, and by almost all other dams in the state.
Crappie season just started here in Idaho, and I just put my Diawa iprimi 56xxul to the test. Funnest thing I’ve ever experienced, I would enjoy it if you made a video about it. Fighting bluegill this size would be so much fun. Love your videos keep up the good work.
isnt that a solid tip rod? I dont like solid tip rods. The only reason i bought this was they said HARD solid tip. So got me wondering what woud that be
thanks Stan. Sold out till the end of July. Do not use BG-1 around snags until July. Then in August, yes, hit the snags hard, as i want u to try the new ones : )
Nice Vids. I always enjoy your fishing video. Informative as always. You might like the Tict Ice Cube Rockin Finesse or the Rockin drift rod. I believe Randy has it. The most fun rod I have I must say will be the eradicator 67 sul and 69 xul version. Not even my evergreen limber tip is much fun although i might get the evergreen sensor xul version just to have it. lol.. Great vid again Vic.
Have you check Daiwa Iprimi yet? I want to hear your thought about that rod because I kinda interest in Presso Air AGS but the price way off than my budget😅
My wife used to go with me when fishing and would pick up all the trash. Couldn’t get it all in the vehicle. Been coming out to Arkansas for years and noticed the trash is far less here…now that I live here can confirm Arkansans don’t trash up the place like Tennessee.
What a shame how people trash up the places they fish. Pick up your trash people!!!! That looks like an awesome place to fish Victor. Sucks you got to pick up all these lazy peoples trash.
Love your sticky grease, just the best I have used, even works great on carbon disc washers, was going to replace them with fiber if I could find . Not the case now they are really smooth and no hesitations at all, they are like butter. Please offer in larger size. And also yes release all fish caught during their spawning. .
I appreciate the feedback, Gary! Noted on the container size. The only reason i picked this one was because the container is cheap itself, and is easy to ship and i just used it to collect feedback. But i think the grease is here to stay and i will look for a nicer, a little larger container that is kind of flat and easy to ship.
@@ifishcatfish essentially, the feedback that you give. Im still on the hunt for a slow taper Eradicator. I appreciate you and Randy’s work. It’s hard to find people in America that can break this stuff down too. Also, I will do a review of your jigheads in the next few weeks. I gave them a whirl, they are what we were missing. I caught about 130 the other day. I’m just very backed up on content, editing and posting. When it comes out, it will be a good! I use it the way I’ve caught thousands and thousands of fish and it’s what I wish I had
@@TheUltralightLife i know about that. I have videos from beginning of May that i dont want to throw out but nontime to edit as i have newer ones that i want to publish
I am sorry that you have to clean all of that up but I absolutely love your commentary. The shit per capita is a new metric that I will start using now!
Yep . As i suspected . Not much different from the 21 model . The 21 model is even faster action than this . A surgical precision tool but totally kills the fun factor . Be interesting to see it fished in salt water . Great vid .
That’ place is a crapper 😢😂…you are not alone in Tenessee , we got even worse places down in 🇮🇹 . I thought you would pair the Corto with the Vanquish 2023 . It is a pitty Graphiteleader doesn’t make tubular tips in the lower grams rods
How do you like the rod? Looking for a rod with the best parabolic bend and to have the most fun when fishing for panfish. Float fishing so not worried about sensitivity or stiffness either.
Thanks for getting my jig heads out to me so quickly. Glad I ordered when I did looks like you sold out 👍 I recently ordered the new Vanquish and love the look of this combo. Would you suggest this rod for small jdm trout spoons? I do seem to like faster action. Thanks!
@@dreess8085 i have only used about 12 JDM rods, and there are hundreds of them. But if a short rod works for you, check my Belezza Prototype review. That rod is completely parabolic. THats what i would use for spoons.
You saw the end! It's not gang crime like chicago, but property crime is actually more than Chicago. A lot more, if u can believe that. If you can't believe it, google it, statistics will shock you. I feel better when i have a gun w me.

@@ifishcatfish Tell it all, bro!
Surprised you fished braid 😂
usually just one time to test new rod.. I keep a couple spools if the guides of the rods are too small for normal line

Exactly - eventually when people keep trashing, we lose access to great fishing spots! Thank you!
Which do you think is better shimano exsence ci4+ 3000MHG(2018) or daiwa luvias 3000S CXH (2020)?
Thanks

Nice 30 minute therapy session 👍🏼
actually i myself use fishing as therapy. Drain my negative energy away. Sometimes i dump my negative energy in the video by accident : )
Will you do a full review on this corto prototype?
within 1o days. And it is extremely specific rod - please don't buy before review
