CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Ben Gillespie from NSW on being the lucky winner of this giveaway! Hope you love the new rod Ben! Thank you all for entering and stay tuned for future giveaways! 🎣🎣
Great run through Paul. I'd have to say my Favourite combo would be the new Flatsfreak, exist combo. I only say that because it occupies a rod that I need for a lot of my East Gippsland work. other than that. They all look great. love Ians work. Cheers, Mitch McMaster, Vic
Troy perry Vic Great vid agin always a great walk through. I have to say the grub freak 1-3. For the rod in the future a squid rod I know he’s done one befor but love it to come out!!
Nick Georgiadis (VIC) Currently my favourite rod in the range is the Twitch Freak. Casts and presents a great range of lures. What I'd love to see in the range is a Bream Buster Classic 6'9" original rod with cork grips, gold bindings etc. Something that pays homage to the early days of Ian's rod building designs with his latest technology integrated. What's old should be new again!
Thinking of it, I recently needed a new rock fishing / surf combo and I was willing to put some good money down for a combo and thought hey I’ll check if Ian’s doing any surf rods I’d be interested in but nothing really suited what I needed so ended up going with a gomoku rod and paired it with a slammer 4, still thinking about getting a flatsfreak for flatty season and this video really helped clarify some things. Christian, QLD
Awesome video mate! I've always wanted to get the grubfreak as it feels just perfect for what I like to flick around (placcys chasing bream and flathead!). But now seeing the range, there are so many awesome rods that are versatile. Flatsfreak also sounds unreal for those bigger flatheads and larger estuary fish! I'd just love any of Ian's rods, they're unreal! Cheers mate, yeeew! (Pete Finlan, Sydney).
Aaron - vic Love the in depth information mate and have always wanted to use millerods just abit out of my budget, The grub freak combos intrigues me a lot as I use a lot of plastics 😊 Good luck everyone! 🎉🎉🎉
That's a dream set up you have there! I have been using the grub freak the last month or so and absolutely loving it! But honestly wouldn't I look pretty good wearing that hoodie while casting the finesse freak? Haha Love your work mate
@@ACboatsADDICTION heeeyyy! I wish i could give you an answer on that. I have gone from fishing every weekend to once a month. Once things slow down for me im hoping to get back into it again
Thanks for another great video Paul. Ian has many great rods 🎣 but I think there’s room for a GlideFreaK. A 2pc 8’ to 8’5” spinning rod with a medium action & a 20-70 gram lure range. Perfect Glidebait rod for chasing Flatties on the flats Daniel F NSW
James McKenna, Vic. Would love to see a Crab Freak tbh, I know you can use the blade freak, but it would be cool to add any refinements for using crankas especially in tournament situations Also I like the name of crab freak lol
Hey Brock, yes it does bud! If you’re referring to the beefier custom, absolutely. The LM production is borderline. You’ll need to be more gentle with the cast/lob cast, not a hard flick
@@PaulMalovFishing thanks mate. I’ve already got the beast buster LM. Good to hear they can be used for heavier plastics. Think I’ll have to get myself one
I'd love to see a yellow belly rod, specifically for shaking soft vibes. Currently there isn't anything is the miller rage that is just right for this. There are a few that are close but just off the mark.
SA, Great video mate. I agree with eli that they should add an extra light short trout rod for small streams. The flats freak is perfect for YFW casting around slippery dogs and sugar pens
Thanks for sharing the collection Paul. A flats freak would replace my grub freak that blew out of byron t Hills boat down at Tuross earlier this year. Don’t know who bought his boat but make sure you strap your rods down before you WOT 😂
Love my Bladefreak and Brawler. Great advice thanks Paul. The seem to get the balance right for me on the yarra (brawler under bridge and in structure, and blade freak for hards and vibes in all other scenarios). Love to bash some whiting on the flats in Albany WA, i think has to be my favourite form of fishing. I wonder if Ian would ever tackle shore jigging?
Great vid mate. I definitely love my plastics fishing and if not I’ve got a jackall chubby on. So no prizes for guessing I’d love the grubfreak combo closely followed by the blade freak. Cheers for the giveaway. Brett George, from Sydney, NSW.
QLD, Great video enjoyed the set ups. The rod I would like in the range would be a 5 foot 10, 2 to 4kg baitcaster for chasing bass. The 6 foot spin is great but I like using a baitcaster as well.
Steve Gray WA, Fav rod is my Twitch Freak, very versatile and a pleasure to fight a big fish on it. As to a future inclusion I would like to see an 8' to 8'6" 4 to 8Kg to throw 15 to 40g lures for shore based mulloway spinning, same construction style as the Vibe Freak. or a Brawler with a 2" longer butt
What a collection of rods you got there, if i could i would add all of the those rods to my arsenal but if i had to choose one it would be the flats freak because i love working on the flats and its a longer than most rods dad and I have and i like that lenth because sometimes I struggle to get the soft plastics as far as i want them to go and that will help with that alot. BTW i loved the video!!!
Great video. Loved the detail in the breakdown. The flats freak sounds pretty awesome and keen on the two piece for transport reasons. Nothing like fishing for various species on the flats, especially this time of year. Thanks again, jaymie, tweed, NSW.
Jim Hosie (ACT). The GrubFreak Exist15 2003-H is a dream plastics pairing and scores my vote. The FlatsFreak would be awesome for throwing cranks or even surface. The extra 7’9 length would enable greater water coverage, especially from a kayak, which would be ideal for waterways like St George’s Basin. Millerods have the rep. Just go to any bream tournament and most guys either have them or are evolving to them (I’m in the second category). Idea for a new Millerod? Perhaps the “FlingFreak” a 9 or 10 footer for those who want to go extra big? There’s nothing on the market that I’ve seen like this unless you go full custom. Thanks for sharing your babies mate. Always learning. One question I have - if you were stranded and could only have one of your setups - which one would it be?
Hey Jim, thanks mate! Re: FlingFreak idea - you thinking still a light estuary rod or something for the beach etc? And if I was to choose only one - I’ll take the Brawler combo personally. It’ll throw a 1/16th grub, do hards, big vibes, crabs and muss, as well as surface!
@@PaulMalovFishingfrom a marketing/usefulness standpoint could go either direction. A longer rod specialising in throwing light cranks/plastics further for the beach/shore fisho could be useful. Though it was a podcast from Doc Lures with Greg Reid where he talks about throwing surface lures at the Basin with custom rods up to 10’6 that had me looking around without success. Perhaps it could do both.
South Aus. Appreciated the walk through. Your last walk through sealed my entry into the world of Millerods and specifically the Brawler and Twitch Freak. Personally the Brawler get my vote, especially when yak fishing. Cracking rod 👌 First thing I think of when looking at the Flatsfreak is chasing YFW on the flats with sugarpens or even small blades. Very interesting rod. Keep up the quality work Paul.
Paul, my favourite is the grub freak. What I would really love to see would be a dedicated production rod for the Cranka Crab. I think crab fishing needs a specific rod and I would definitely purchase a “Crab Freak” if it was available. Thanks Ben from NSW.
I’m a big fan of the blade freak I think it’s must for bream anglers on structure, I’m in NSW and in Sydney plenty of poles hills and wharves to use it on
Hey Ben! Give the Brawler a try if you get an opportunity around the wharves - the BladeFreak might be a touch light - awesome for cranking hards and throwing blades of course! But in the meantime, you’ll have to give the FlatsFreak a try mate and let us know what you think - your name was drawn on the wheel! Big congrats mate! Have sent you a friend request on facey to get details.
NSW. Hey Paul great video mate, really enjoyed seeing your rod rack! I loved the looks of the Bassfreak XH paired with that 3000 exist. I can see that beast being put to good use up in Sydney! Cheers
Emin from west aus I love the millers rod flats freak because I love catching whiting on small stick-baits and poppers but I would love to see a custom squid jigging rod 3-6 kg 7ft 6 inch or 8ft for bigger squid jigs and longer casting distance ps love the content keep it up
My favourite would have to be that Blade Freak paired with the Daiwa Exist 2003F, be perfect for throwing Dunks in the Blackwood River over here in WA.
Hey Paul, great video and a awesome collection of outfits you got there, my favourite rod in your selection would be the Twitch Freak such a light and versatile rod for hard bodies and soft plastics . A rod that I would like to see from Ian would be something between the XFLC and the Vibe Freak , I fish PPB a lot and find the tip of the Vibe Freak a bit to stiff in some situations when using 5 to 7 inch jerk baits . Hope you and yours are well , GB .
Top vid Paul, great to see all the different rods and uses. As for my fave there, can't go past the grub freak, seems like you can't either as you have 3x 💪👌
Interesting n informative. Had me looking up the Beast Buster LT for more specs. Could see this one useful for chasing snapper and larger jewfish on plastics. Would find the new Flats freak useful for them super clear days on the Glenelg. Two Millers at opposite ends of the equation, 🤔 how good would that be .
Quality video as always Paul. I’d love to try the flats freak to throw around some finesse plastics for flatties around my local shallow waters. Looks like an excellent rod design for it’s purpose.
Great video explaining what you use each combo for, I find deciphering the sales descriptions tricky! My fav combo was the Twitch Freak and Exist combo. Bruno M from NSW
Ripper run through of your kit! I would love the control freak bass vibe 7’1 2-5kg in a bait cast configuration too, you could have one spin and one casting rod and take them all over Australia and they wouldn’t be out of place at all 👌
(ACT) Great video Paul and congrats on the tournament results this year too! Good to hear your review on the Flats Freak - it is a rod I'll add to the rack before tournaments next year. I think it and the Bass Freak XH round out the Millerods production line up nicely, but it would be great to see the Beast Buster 691 join the Brawler in production. That and a dedicated crab / muss rod tuned to get the most out of those hardbody 'creature' baits.
Kevin Pope VIC. What an arsenal of rods there. Would love a grub freak but always just out of my price range at the moment, for soft plastics fishing in Geelong - the flats freak looks sweet as too for that application.
Thanks for the breakdown, Paul. Love twitching hardbodies, so I’d love to add a twitch freak to my arsenal. Even a slightly heavier one for throwing bigger hardbodies for mulloway.
Definitely the flats freak with a 2000 for me it would be perfect for bodies of water like the Lake Tyers flats because of the finicky fish the potential to really send the lure would be ideal.
Hey Paul great range of rods there , that Flats freak looks ideal for hunting down whiting on the surface cant wait for this rain to let up - cheers Wazza from Wollongong NSW.
G'Day Paul, really interesting video mate. Great to see all your setups and hear about how you use them. I think my favourite rod would be the BladeFreak. I've been having a fair bit success blading on Sydney Harbour in recent months and can appreciate the usefulness of a technique specific rod like that.
have a few miller rods but my favourite is actually the bass freak m For the cheapest and shortest miller I was surprised how sensitive and how well it still casts Buck saunders south australia
Corey mann, Victoria I love the look of the bassfreak M, would be unreal for fishing tighter structure where you can’t let the fish have too much line and you need to winch them out. I would love to see a 6’10” to 7’ 4-7kg baitcaster rod, suited for river fishing for natives
Awesome line up of MillerRods. I love the GrubFreak setup, given I’m fishing mostly with lighter soft plastics. The new FlatFreak also looking good for land based option. One thing that I love to see more from MillerRods are more production of true mid-joint rods, that is like the new FlatFreak but on other models, like Grub/Blade/Twitch Freak. Given the new techs around the feel of 2 pieces can be very similar to 1 piece. Thanks. Andre - VIC
Great run through and explanation on what combinations works well for different styles of fishing, especially for guys/girls moving into the Miller range, i currently luv my grub freak.🎣
Very informative video Paul. I live and fish on the Noosa River and tend to chase various species of trevally such as Diamond Trevally, Cale Cale and Golden Trevally using 6-8lb line. I would enjoy using a micro jigging rod that I could use 5-10gm jigs and soft plastics on around deeper marinas and bridges. Byron A, QLD
What a collection mate ! I think if I only had one rod to pick from I’d have to go the grub freak as I’ve always found when nothing else is working a well presented plastic ie a grub will in most cases be to much for the old humble bream to resist 😎😎 great vid mate !
Adam Best. NSW Thoroughly enjoy that. I recently purchased the Bass freak, if work commitments would allow me to get off the grid and into the seasons action I would be stocked. Good feedback Re reel ratio on the Bass freak set up. Cheers.
Hey Bailey, I’d probably suggest a 3000 sized reel - it will balance a little better on a Vibefreak. With that kind of Combo and ~30lb braid you’ll be able to knock over a lot of species
Now THAT'S a collection! I'd love to work up to a Millerod myself one day and I'd actually be happy with just one 😅 My favourite out of your collection would have to be the Finesse Freak. That'd suit my style of fishing the most. Thanks for the content and thanks for the giveaway!
Deklen Vic. You don't have it there but my favorite millerods would have to be the switch freak UL. It's just so versatile from yellas, bass and bream. I'd like to see a lighter baitcaster rod in the range just as I prefer them over spin.
Insane collection! Bladefreak + Exist 2003 takes the cake for me. From VIC, and would like to see a shorter and lighter baitcast for cod out of the yak in tight rivers. 6' to 6'3 max similar action to the one freak but lighter...
Showed Pei and shes like woahhh. Bad influence 🤣🤣. Flatsfreak 2 PC would be awesome for casual fish and easy transport. Good casting distance. Or maybe the buster or brawler so I can throw into real gnarly stuff. Adrian, Melbourne
Love the Miller range... would love to see a super light BFS baitcaster model release... BFS fishing pretty popular in indo and think there is a good application here in AUSTRALIA... especially up here in FNQ for jungle pearch 🤙
Well that is an awesome line up you have there, I'm slowly trying to built up my fleet of high end rods and reels and after watching this vlog I think the the Flats freak would make a great addition to my line up or a twitch freak so those 2 are my favourites in your line up. Harrietville Victoria.
Great video and some really nice combos there. For me, Twitch Freak for throwing crabs and mussels around structure. Would actually like to see a longer rod similar to that made by Mesiah in Tassie. Corey Lean NSW
Spectacular video Paul, gees you've got a very nice collection of rods there. I'd have to say my favorite rod out of the lot would probably be the Blade freak, I like a nice backbone, enough to pull decent fish out of structure, and I like a nice light tip for flicking lures around and also for accurate casting. would be interesting to try out a bit of a longer rod like the Flats freak as I've only ever fished with rods around the 7 foot mark. watch out guys coz I'm coming for that Flats freak 🤞. Cheers. Onyx, NSW
Very jealous of your quiver 😍 hopefully I can get there one day! Loved the breakdown, the favourite of mine was the brawler till I lost it overboard 😢 but I’m really interested in the flats freak as I’m obsessed with fishing the flats!
Moo here. thanks for the vid, i had a bream buster ultra-finesse, one of my all time favorite rods .but walking flats a lot now , the Flats-Freak would be my one to try next up here in Port Stephens NSW
Great breakdown of your kit. TwitchFreak, Bass XH & M are my go to for most my estuary & bass fishing. IMO the recent release of RB BladeFreak, RB SwimFreak, both Pitch models & FlatsFreak have filled a void in the range. Ian is doing great job.
first of all, what an awesome selection, showed the wife, she just gave me that look, lol, for me would love a grub freak, any really, been looking at one for bass, cheers mate.
Haha thanks Darren! Yeah probably not ideal to show the wife sometimes 😂 Could you please confirm what state you’re in too for the giveaway entry. Cheers!

Interesting video Paul surely there is a muss rod in the works similar to a crab rod I bet Shane (vic)
Nick Georgiadis (VIC)
Currently my favourite rod in the range is the Twitch Freak. Casts and presents a great range of lures.
What I'd love to see in the range is a Bream Buster Classic 6'9" original rod with cork grips, gold bindings etc. Something that pays homage to the early days of Ian's rod building designs with his latest technology integrated. What's old should be new again!
Thanks Nick! That’s an awesome idea. We still have one or two left in dads arsenal from the early days
Great video, the FlatsFreak ULS combo looks like a real standout :)
Hi Paul, Would love to see a light travel rod in the millerods range. Something versatile for fresh and salt water applications.

Does the beast buster toad have a light enough tip to use as a heavy plastics rod? Say 1/2oz jig heads?

(ACT) Great video Paul and congrats on the tournament results this year too! Good to hear your review on the Flats Freak - it is a rod I'll add to the rack before tournaments next year. I think it and the Bass Freak XH round out the Millerods production line up nicely, but it would be great to see the Beast Buster 691 join the Brawler in production. That and a dedicated crab / muss rod tuned to get the most out of those hardbody 'creature' baits.
Kevin Pope VIC. What an arsenal of rods there. Would love a grub freak but always just out of my price range at the moment, for soft plastics fishing in Geelong - the flats freak looks sweet as too for that application.
Ricky Kovac, NSW. I would love to see a medium-heavy stickbait rod added to the production line up - say 8'3, cast weight 30-110g. Thanks!
Can’t go past Twitch freak .. for all rounder rod 👌.. plus I am big fan of 6’10 rod
Bikrant QLD
Thanks for the breakdown, Paul. Love twitching hardbodies, so I’d love to add a twitch freak to my arsenal. Even a slightly heavier one for throwing bigger hardbodies for mulloway.
Thanks Shannon! - could you please confirm what state you’re in too for the giveaway entry. Cheers
@@PaulMalovFishing vic, Paul
the grub freak for sure. I'm in east Gippsland so you know how perfect it is.
Definitely the flats freak with a 2000 for me it would be perfect for bodies of water like the Lake Tyers flats because of the finicky fish the potential to really send the lure would be ideal.
Awesome mate,
the flatsfreak looks the goods !!!
Thanks mate! - could you please confirm what state you’re in too. Cheers!
@@PaulMalovFishing WA mate cheers
Hey Paul great range of rods there , that Flats freak looks ideal for hunting down whiting on the surface cant wait for this rain to let up - cheers Wazza from Wollongong NSW.
G'Day Paul, really interesting video mate. Great to see all your setups and hear about how you use them. I think my favourite rod would be the BladeFreak. I've been having a fair bit success blading on Sydney Harbour in recent months and can appreciate the usefulness of a technique specific rod like that.
have a few miller rods but my favourite is actually the bass freak m
For the cheapest and shortest miller I was surprised how sensitive and how well it still casts

Hi Paul, thanks for the video. The Flats Freak with the Daiwa Exist 2003F is the one that appeals the most at this time.
Regards,
Chris Bishop NSW
Great insight thanks for sharing 👍

I love the look of the bassfreak M, would be unreal for fishing tighter structure where you can’t let the fish have too much line and you need to winch them out.
I would love to see a 6’10” to 7’ 4-7kg baitcaster rod, suited for river fishing for natives
Awesome line up of MillerRods. I love the GrubFreak setup, given I’m fishing mostly with lighter soft plastics. The new FlatFreak also looking good for land based option. One thing that I love to see more from MillerRods are more production of true mid-joint rods, that is like the new FlatFreak but on other models, like Grub/Blade/Twitch Freak. Given the new techs around the feel of 2 pieces can be very similar to 1 piece.
Thanks. Andre - VIC
Great run through and explanation on what combinations works well for different styles of fishing, especially for guys/girls moving into the Miller range, i currently luv my grub freak.🎣
Thanks Sam! - could you please confirm what state you’re in too for the giveaway entry. Cheers
Very informative video Paul. I live and fish on the Noosa River and tend to chase various species of trevally such as Diamond Trevally, Cale Cale and Golden Trevally using 6-8lb line. I would enjoy using a micro jigging rod that I could use 5-10gm jigs and soft plastics on around deeper marinas and bridges. Byron A, QLD
What a collection mate !
I think if I only had one rod to pick from I’d have to go the grub freak as I’ve always found when nothing else is working a well presented plastic ie a grub will in most cases be to much for the old humble bream to resist 😎😎 great vid mate !
Adam Best. NSW
Thoroughly enjoy that. I recently purchased the Bass freak, if work commitments would allow me to get off the grid and into the seasons action I would be stocked. Good feedback Re reel ratio on the Bass freak set up.
Cheers.
Grub freak would have to be my fave great rod.
Will the vibe freak rod paired with a 2500 size reel be fine for jack and Barra and bigger estuary species?
Hey Bailey, I’d probably suggest a 3000 sized reel - it will balance a little better on a Vibefreak. With that kind of Combo and ~30lb braid you’ll be able to knock over a lot of species
Peter Clark N.S.W. I really like the Millerods Grub Freak 7'3" 1-3kg rod. Great video & run down on all your rods Paul.
Now THAT'S a collection! I'd love to work up to a Millerod myself one day and I'd actually be happy with just one 😅
My favourite out of your collection would have to be the Finesse Freak. That'd suit my style of fishing the most.
Thanks for the content and thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks Steven! - could you please confirm what state you’re in too for the giveaway entry. Cheers mate
@@PaulMalovFishing I'm in NSW.
Deklen Vic.
You don't have it there but my favorite millerods would have to be the switch freak UL. It's just so versatile from yellas, bass and bream.
I'd like to see a lighter baitcaster rod in the range just as I prefer them over spin.
Insane collection! Bladefreak + Exist 2003 takes the cake for me.
From VIC, and would like to see a shorter and lighter baitcast for cod out of the yak in tight rivers. 6' to 6'3 max similar action to the one freak but lighter...
Showed Pei and shes like woahhh. Bad influence 🤣🤣. Flatsfreak 2 PC would be awesome for casual fish and easy transport. Good casting distance. Or maybe the buster or brawler so I can throw into real gnarly stuff. Adrian, Melbourne
Love the Miller range... would love to see a super light BFS baitcaster model release... BFS fishing pretty popular in indo and think there is a good application here in AUSTRALIA... especially up here in FNQ for jungle pearch 🤙
Well that is an awesome line up you have there, I'm slowly trying to built up my fleet of high end rods and reels and after watching this vlog I think the the Flats freak would make a great addition to my line up or a twitch freak so those 2 are my favourites in your line up.
Harrietville Victoria.
Victoria The flatsfreak looks like it would be a good fit for me with a 2500 size reel
The Flattiefreak 7'6" would be great as a production model

Thanks Chris! Could you please confirm what state you’re in too for the giveaway entry. Cheers
Great video and some really nice combos there. For me, Twitch Freak for throwing crabs and mussels around structure. Would actually like to see a longer rod similar to that made by Mesiah in Tassie. Corey Lean NSW
Spectacular video Paul, gees you've got a very nice collection of rods there. I'd have to say my favorite rod out of the lot would probably be the Blade freak, I like a nice backbone, enough to pull decent fish out of structure, and I like a nice light tip for flicking lures around and also for accurate casting. would be interesting to try out a bit of a longer rod like the Flats freak as I've only ever fished with rods around the 7 foot mark. watch out guys coz I'm coming for that Flats freak 🤞.
Cheers. Onyx, NSW
Very jealous of your quiver 😍 hopefully I can get there one day! Loved the breakdown, the favourite of mine was the brawler till I lost it overboard 😢 but I’m really interested in the flats freak as I’m obsessed with fishing the flats!
Thanks Boden! - could you please confirm what state you’re in too for the giveaway entry. Cheers!

Moo here. thanks for the vid, i had a bream buster ultra-finesse, one of my all time favorite rods .but walking flats a lot now , the Flats-Freak would be my one to try next up here in Port Stephens NSW
Great breakdown of your kit. TwitchFreak, Bass XH & M are my go to for most my estuary & bass fishing. IMO the recent release of RB BladeFreak, RB SwimFreak, both Pitch models & FlatsFreak have filled a void in the range. Ian is doing great job.
first of all, what an awesome selection, showed the wife, she just gave me that look, lol, for me would love a grub freak, any really, been looking at one for bass, cheers mate.
Haha thanks Darren! Yeah probably not ideal to show the wife sometimes 😂 Could you please confirm what state you’re in too for the giveaway entry. Cheers!
@@PaulMalovFishing sorry mate nsw
Wow what a line up. Really enjoyed the video. My favourite is the new Production Brawler with the 2022 Exist 2500. Max Sinclair NSW
