- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- My lord, what a reel! I cannot wait to put this to the test and learn what this reel has to offer. This is a huge accomplishment for me and while I try not to hype of materialistic items I think it’s super important to save up and work towards something you want. This casting reel will in no shape, way, or form make me a better bass angler but it will make fishing more enjoyable when fishing in tricky conditions. Hope you guys enjoyed this episode and as always feel free to drop me a comment or email at fishingthemidwest@gmail.com

I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well czcams.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
NEVER GIVE UP!!! XD btw, props on getting this vid up so freakin fast, based on ur txt message you got that reel about 6 hours ago!
+1Rod1ReelFishing filmed, edited, and posted today! Thanks for watching Mike, see you Friday!
You guys are my favorite CZcams fishermen
Can you recommend a solid first bait casting reel?
+Luke Ventry Hey man I'm no pro fisherman but 1rod1reel recommended the Abu Garcia Black Max reel to me and I have to say I have never felt better. It's really inexpensive for how well it runs and I have only once gotten a backlash on it! I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a first baitcasting reel, it was my first!
+BobikTX same here
"Check out this avocado" hahaha😂😂😂
TylersReelFishing your my dad
TylersReelFishing TYLER I love your videos

Shawn funnys I agree
TylersReelFishing your not lake fork guy. Stop.
It’s so cool coming back here and watching these old videos like I did back in high school
I feel like you should reel JDM reels with your opposite hand
Most people won’t get it
Rhd
😂
Haha I got it
you had me at " reduced backlash" lol
Experience helps
Currently in the NAVY stationed in Pensacola, Florida, and I watch your videos daily. They make me miss bass fishing back in Louisiana, and now I fish saltwater, which is way different. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to when I finally get to go back to Louisiana though!
+James Turner That is so awesome James! Thanks for the support. My family lives close to Pensacola Beech in Perdido Key so I'm familiar with the area. Thanks for your service and thanks for watching!
":Check out this avocado". Best part of this video.
+Ryan Getchell It was a free avocado.
Jon B. that avocado was just chillin
Jon B. I would love to fish with you , and we should.
"Is it Jdm bro?" "Yeah, it's an r34 gtr" -every other kid in the States.
Being that I'm into cars too this made me laugh haha, thanks for watching.
R32s are better
Your videos are getting better…I guess I would say, more professional. You present yourself and everything you do in such a personal genuine way…but that is the way professionals work, as the goal is for the finished product to be as if the audience is actually there in the midst of the video…and you kinda pull that off! Today, that was sheer heartfelt anticipation for that reel, and one couldn’t help but get caught up in the unfolding drama! Plus, you tend to throw in a bit of humor, which makes it all the better! So, high praise for how you put these episodes together! Don’t stop!
StevenSWM that was so inspirational. 👏
Wow man I remember these videos 5+ years ago when got into fishing and it was gaining traction on yt.Crazy times now.
I feel ya. Decades ago as a teenager I saved up and bought on lay-by, first generation Cardinal 3 and 4 spinning reels. Plus ultra at the time. Not skirted, by still, to this day, really nice reels. I had been wearing out average reels every few months at the time. I never looked back from the best.
+palletjack612 That is awesome. Something so great about being able to save up to get the reel you ACTUALLY want opposed to the one is just "ok."
So awesome! I was pumped on how stoked you were to get it. Happy for you, bro! Can't wait to see that bad boy in action!
+Just Reeling Them In Thanks dude, me too! Going to break it in this Friday.
Sweet! Looking forward to watching that vid!
When he said JDM I instantly thought about cars😂😂
That reel is sick! So is this video. Nice work man!
JDM...I thought you meant cars
dude that is SICK!! I might invest in one and BTW I love how clear and good your vids look and sound
+Fish Master22 Thank you!
Thumbsup for Avacado!
+Bob Hammond Ye ye!
lol. dude your so intense when opening that reel. I love New fishing hardware . love your video editing in all your videos. keep up the good work.
+matthew wetmore Haha thanks man! I felt like a little kid again opening up that package.
Jon B. was this reel used. I want to save up for an antares dc its 369.00 but you have to use PayPal but anyways the reel is still good just a few scratches what do you think
Jon B. doesn't 1rod use a reel like this, cause that sound of the reel sounds fermiliar
Ryan Duley yeah I see what you mean but it is to late anyways I got the excense dc
Any 2021 viewers? Had to come back and see little jon b and this sick reel would be cool to see if he still has it.
Jon's reel game is hella strong!!!
Watching this in April 21... you have come a long way Jon B.
Jon B. The fisherman who gave an Avocado such an amazing cameo lol
+Born2Fish Haha.
I just graduated from buffalo grove highschool. It's cool to know someone like yourself be close by
Ive been watching your videos for a while and saw this in the to watch videos and this was actually the first video of you ive ever watched haha
I love how he said my toys
#1 you make great videos. #2 there is nothing better than being in college. Live it up my friend. It's the best!
+George Schwab Word. Thanks so much George!
It's crazy to see where you are now I remember this was the first vid I ever watched of yours back in like 2016 when my family was moving betweens houses man y'all have been an inspiration and done a hell of a lot for the fishing community and me personally ❤️🗣️💯😈
The DC that I bought 10 years ago is the "Round" series (silver/gray color) and I love it. It flies across the sky when I want it to but I have so many other cast and spinning Shimano reels and because I don;t want to scratch it, I put it up locked in a safe, secure, secret place where it will probably sit until I die. I had a nightmare once where I was fishing off of a causeway in Rockport, TX (at night) and when I went to whaylay it,out from 14 feet off the water, I accidently let go and never saw it again. Hope you enjoy your reel! LOL!
You mean the calcutta te dc?, i have one too, i love it!
That is an alien monster casting reel man. Great find!
dude that editing was sick
If your really interested in accurate casting reels I highly suggest the Daiwa Zillion. It's an all around great reel for functionality and accuracy.
1:49 -- That is so true! When I do it around the public, folks always think that I am a retarded or crazy Asian kid on the street. LOL. By the way, I am totally with you on 7:00. As I have mentioned on your instagram post, I got a Shimano Antares DC 7 for my father back in the days. Japanese products are just the bomb! All my rods and reels are either daiwa or shimano, with a few exceptions (i.e. ugly stik, st. croix). When it comes to lures, I am a big fan of Lucky Craft, Mega Bass, etc. And Senkos are a killer. And Gary Yamamoto is Japanese. Lol.
Jon B could you do a video comparing the dc casting reels to normal casting reels?
Words of inspiration for the day "never give up" -Jon 😂
I'm convinced you make your own beats if you don't your beat selection is amazing keep it up
+chase johnson I wish! Maybe in the future, all the music I use is from very talented artists on Soundcloud. I leave all the links in the descriptions.
Cuts open box:well that was pretty dope lol 😂
I'm anxious to see your review of this reel after you use it in the water. This is my second video of yours that I watched and now I'm a subscriber. Keep up the good work.
I don't know how many times I have watched this video
What fishing line are you using with your Shimano Metanium DC7?
That is the sickest reel I have ever seen
Love bass fishing too
Great video Jon! The time in editing is greatly appreciated!
Full digital reel episode?! I always wanted a Metanium myself! I honestly just found a shimano chronarch on a falcon rod today at a pawn shop in Kansas picked it up and left with it for $30
Pretty slick reel man, cool video!
If you live in nelsonville, that's awesome. I went to OU and live in Washington County. Ever fish the AEP strip mines?
I can't say that I have heard of digital control reel. That's amazing.
+The Fishing Experiment Yea I'm still blown away. Thanks for watching!
Felt the Casey Neistat in the intro. Loved it. Great Video!
Still one of my fav vids. Got me into dc.
I jumped when you picked up your keys
That's sick dude! You looked like a toddler on Christmas!😂😂😂 I keep replaying 3:58-4:00
+PondBassmaster Haha thanks man!
hey jon. great vid. a tip for a quiet spot to film, go to the creek and or pond in the back woods. i was wondering if you would ever like to come to missouri and go fish with me and a friend and film for our channels.
Sweet,that DC Zing sound is dope
I've fished several of the DC reels. Some are more for backlash control, like the Scorpion, and the Metanium. They're awesome, but don't offer much different than their non-DC counterparts. If you get the Calais DC or Calcutta TE DC, they're distance monsters.
hey man just noticed you were at hocking college haha I was their a year after you it look like you lived in north hall I was on the 2nd floor I believe room 213 been watching you for a while now it was cool to see that you went to the same school as I did!!!
super super cool reel man. gonna check it out dude.
I thought the whole video, you were talking about the avocado. lol. Those reels look sick
fishing game on 1,000 now! ppl need to realize that his CZcams is based mostly about fishing... so of course he is excited, ik I would. keep the great videos and tips coming brother👊👍🎣🎣🎣
I have 10 year old Shimano Curados, 6 of them and I clean them annually. By far the best and only reels I'll ever need.. but damn that digital one is sweeeeet..
+Hugh Mungus Oh..it is.
I love this video! You should do more fishing videos with this reel!!
Jon B. With the sick beats🥑🥑🥑
"I hope this is REEL" he he he
That intro music was fye
That reel looks sick! I'm an Abu Garcia guy but I might start looking at shimono.... And yet again, good work Jon! Big fan.
+James Schutt Definitely should! Thanks James!
now you make me want one
I just got my first bait caster you inspired me to get it I got a shimano curado I
Alright...need to see this in action!
+kennys223 This weekend!
I love the fact I live here in japan and have 4 fishing shops within walking distance of my house. they truly are the best at designing and creating fishing lures and equipment.! I'm going to have some great stuff to bring back home when I am finished here. the only unfortunate thing is if I want to catch LMB I have to take almost a 3 hour train ride to catch the big ones.! and 2 hours for SMB ..so I am stuck catching seabass for the time being.
Love the backtracks man
Jdm is killing it
You young guys crack me up. For starters, TRY RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF BAIT CASTERS MADE FOR BASS FISHING, and you will learn, it was LEW CHILDRE, OF LEW'S, who INVENTED EVERY SYSTEM USED IN ALL MODERN BAITCASTERS TODAY. Sure, there have been some technological improvements, but the free-spool, better gearing & drag, low profile palmability, and insane casting distance ALL STARTED WITH LEW'S. Lew Childre also got Shimano into the fishing reel industry. Before that, they only made bicycle parts, look it up. Lew also played a huge role in better fishing rods & many innovations. He died early in a plane crash. His wife & 2 sons kept the company going strong through Ryobi, making the historic BB1-N and BB1-NG baitcasters, that are still unbeatable for casting & cranking medium to large crankbaits in large, deep reservoirs. Then they made the dreadful mistake of licensing the brand to Zebco/Quantum, where then Zebco president sidelined the Lew's brand, making cheap, less-than-good Lew's reels. Then Lynn Reeves, perhaps the man with the most insider connections to all the good engineers, manufacturers, components & materials, and a long-time family friend to the Childre family, made them a solemn promise: "As soon as the contract expires with Zebco, sell me full RIGHTS to the entire Lew's brand, and I WILL build the best reels, and other products, and put the Lew's name back on top, where it rightfully belongs............He did just that. And he purposely kept the corporation end of the business very small, with less than 30 executive positions, to keep costs down, while using the best components and closest tolerances on the reels themselves. The result: a high-quality, great performing, butter-smooth, & durable reel that out-performs reels costing considerably more. Their better quality really starts with their Tournament MG model, and goes up from there. I wouldn't trade my BB1-Pro's, Pro-G's, and Super Duty's for anything at any price. Great casting distance starts and ends with a good quality reel & rod, with line & lure performance matched for any particular application.........if you think "a computer chip" will increase performance, you're smoking birdseed. They are taking you to the bank. Nothing beats a quality free-spool and educated thumb for the greatest casting distance.
Your production quality is great. Gonna just go ahead and sub.
Great video dude.. Love seeing reel vids. Well made fun to watch
haha love your videos man. wish I could get out on the lake with you! unfortunately im in Canada lol. keep pumping them out. take care.
You would love the new Shimano Anteras DC 16 that just came out. If you are ever back in Ohio or Michigan, let me know. You can try mine out. It's also from Japan.
Your videos look pretty professional and I really like your vlogs man... Keep up the good work. 😉
That's so slick!!!
Wait you press down on elevator then took the stairs??
+Monkey D. Luffy took too long for the elevator to get up there, take the stairs, inconvenience of college dorm life
I'm getting one thanks for the review. I am always up to getting nice reliable stuff.
+ReelsonRods Anytime! Glad you liked the vid.
That's one crazy reel!
+FishingEmpire It totally is! Thanks for watching.
Congrats buddy thanks for sharing
Neat reel, will be interesting to see how it performs on the water. I also do woodworking as well as fishing. It took me a year to save up for a good oscillating spindle sander. But it was worth the wait. 1st [\project? Sanding jerkbait bodies, what else? Tight lines!
Still thanks for the review. I used it 4 years ago and liked it. Now, I bought the new MetDC. I like the new design. The old metanium doesn't look as nice as the new one in my opinion.
Nice video and enjoy your new reel.
Also behold for the new Antares DC that's coming out in 2016~~after 10 years.
I have the lews reel it work great. it was on sail when I got it.
Your editing has gotten better. Similar to CaseyNeistat. You're getting better as you go along. On another side note, what baitcast reel do you recommend under $100? I been using spinning reels when i surf fish and i started getting into freshwater a couple months ago. I use a 6'6" rod and just got a cheap academy brand baitcast reel. I been practicing and my backlashes are getting less and less. I still can't figure out how to do overhand cast but forehand/backhand i'm great at now (used to play tennis). Keep it up man! Totally subbed now :)
+Kane Somoso Thanks Kane, Casey is a legend. He makes some of these best Vlogs hands down. I would look into the less expensive Lew's or the Daiwas for bait casters under $100. Thanks for watching man!
Your edits are so sick
Great video John B. keep up the good work.
Great video man really enjoyed it.
You should review the No.8 tackle blackout rod
love the montage that was sick
I've owned some DC reels and they work incredibly good, the only problem is that if the chip breaks you can't use the reel at all and replacing the chip is quite expensive.
+TechMechMen Yikes, how do you not break the DC chip?
+j0j0barz33 I honestly don't know, I take very good care of my reels, but I suppose water seems to find its way in the reel then into the chip. I only had one of my DC reel chip break once, but it really sucks because all you can do is not to cast with the reel, otherwise you'll get backlash all the time.
I now put my DC reels in a ziplock bag with some silica gel after cleaning them: that seems to get the moisture out of hard to reach places. Works for me. Also a great method to use when you drop your phone in the water, that saved me so many iPhones.
dope bro! i love watching your videos they are so helpful and i have learned alot about bass fishing. thanks keep up the good work!!
+Eddie Suarez Will do, thanks Eddie!
one of my buddies has that reel, he loves it. I thought about getting it, mostly on and off about it.
+mitchris_ Yea it's kind of a commitment, but in my opinion worth it. It's a trademark reel that in my opinion embodies everything Shimano was and still sort of is. Thanks for watching by the way!
You should make a video of the reel now and how to dial it in and what's good to use on it
I just ordered my 1st jdm reel, I ordered the scorpion dc 17
Sorta dumb question, but what is the digital chip?
"Check out this avocado", stares at it, then kicks it
Jon, I"ve been looking at the Japanese Shimano Aldebaran 50 0r 51 XG. I was wondering if it is worth the extra money for the Aldebaran over other high end reels on the market?
Anyone else watching this 6 years later?
