No More Shimano? Bates Fishing Co Channel Partnership + Reel Review
I have partnered with Bates Fishing Co! In this video, I announce my new channel partnership and dive into an in-depth unboxing and review of a Bates Fishing Reel. After years of running Shimano gear, I’m putting Bates to the test to see how it stacks up when it comes to performance, durability, and value for serious bass fishing.
I cover everything from first impressions and build quality to spool design, drag system, and future on-the-water performance testing. Whether you’re curious about switching brands or just want a closer look at Bates reels, this video has you covered.
In This Video:
• Bates Fishing Reel unboxing & review
• Why I partnered with Bates Fishing Co
• Reel features, specs, and first impressions
• Performance vs Shimano and other top brands

If you’re into fishing gear reviews, unboxings, and bass fishing setups, this is one you don’t want to miss.
