  • Abu Garcia black max
    Nov 4 2024
    Segment 1: Fishing lure review the abu garcia black max The black max is a reel that I picked up at my local Walmart for 60 bucks. And put it on my abu garcia vengeance reel is super smooth and has holes in the spool to easily thread line onto the rod and reel this is so much better than the stock reel that I as I would need to tape on to the reel or not it knot it onto the reel and making it have a lump on it. I had a good experience with this reel and just recently caught my pb bass for our listeners who do not know what pb means. It stands for personal best. But anyways I get more into that next segment. The reel comes in one color black and red. The reel has a nice weight to it and the handles are comfortable to reel all day. I am sure you can find this reel at many other stores. This reel is called black max if you didn't catch it earlier and it fits onto many of my fishing rods. Just so you know it is a reel for just bait caster rods it should have a trigger and the eye holes will be smaller. I have a medium heavy that I use for my fishing. It is easier to set hooks and make sure that hook is well in there. I would not recommend completely unscrewing the cap to the spool tension adjustment as if that falls off and gets sand in it like mine did it will no longer work. Segment 2: Fishing story I was out fishing with my brothers and was using some new Storm lures I bought. I caught two bass that day and than the next we took my little brother out to fish with us he had caught his second bass and it was about 2 pounds on an ultra light with a small jig head and yellow twerly he said the fish didn't notice that it had been hook and it just stayed there. And then he caught another bass, this one smaller and skinny but hey a fish is a fish. My other brother that I took with me caught about 5-6 crappie. I was testing out the reel that I reviewed today and then I got hit hard. I reeled in trying not to do the risky move of switching sides. I was reeling as it can cause the hook to fall out. I got my first glimpse and it was a big bass. I got it on shore then switched sides when I was reeling and the hook came right out, a good thing that I did not switch when it was in the water. It was a nice 3 pound bass.

  • Swim Bait

    Fishing lure review swim bait

    The swimbait is a versatile lure being able to be used in any waters they do make swim baits for the ocean. This lure can get stuck in weeds and other debeas it can have hooks swapped out for single hooks, usually it has treble hooks. I have one that looks like a small perch. It is really realistic. This lure swims like a fish and works super well as it tricks the fish into biting on this lure. It can be used many ways with one being jigging which is when you would slowly real in and randomly twitch your rod so it looks like a fish dying. This tack tick doesn't always work but it can work really well when it does. The lure is able to look like it is swimming in the water as it swims it creates a lot of drag almost like a crank bait but a little less. This lure is mainly used to catch large mouth and possible small mouth. It is a nice to have in your collection as it can be used anywhere as i said before so I highly recommend getting one.

    Segment 2: Fishing story

    For this fishing story I will talk about the time we we fishing at a lake and near me I had been fishing on top of one of those concrete overflow drains so the lake doesn't overflow and I was using a twirly tail with a lime green jig head and I had caught two crappie and two large mouth bass. I had one nice one and another one that was a dink. If you don't know what dink means in fishing terms it mean a small fish and i had caught a small one and both of my friends that were there unfortunately didn't catch anything than we kept fishing and fishing my on friend had brought his kayak and went out and my other friend that was then started to get bites but could never set the hook in time all of the sudden my friend starts catching so many fish and i was annoyed.

    Don't forget to keep on casting

  • Crank Bait
    Oct 18 2024
    Segment 1: lure review

    Hello everyone John here and in this segment i will talk about one of my favorite fishing lure the crank bait as it can be however big it needs to be it is a very versatile bait being able to be used to catch many species of fish and in any lake, rivers would be tough to use this lure as the correct would make it not swim like it should. I have caught many bass on this lure with my bait caster. I also like this lure as the action looks like a real fish. It swims and dives down deep, but one bad thing is that it gets stuck pretty easily on weeds and it is a treble hook. The brand I use is storm for a good bit of my tackle and I have to say that I am impressed with how it works and the fish that I catch with them. You can find them on amazon and a lot of bait and tackle.

    Segment 2:fishing story

    So for this fishing story I was out fishing with my friend at a local lake. I had a rooster tail on and was casting and didn't get anything. Then I moved to the other side, still nothing. It was nearing dark when I went over to my friend who was tying on his lure. So I climbed on top of a picnic table to cast farther and he had moved behind me and I cast and I didn't see it hit the water. I had accidentally hooked my friend but we got it out. It actually went all the way through and came out that way. I felt horrible thank you for listening and keep on casting
