Bass Fishing With a Baitcaster That Was Sent To The Show!



Today I am bass fishing with a baitcaster that was sent to the show! I am test driving a SixGill Wraith using a Texas rigged creature bait. I spool the reel with 12 lb test mono, and start fishing. I get a bite early on, but miss the fish because I didn’t check my drag. After dialing the reel in a bit better, I get back to it. Shortly after, I catch my first largemouth bass of the day. About ten minutes later, I catch another bass. This baitcast reel has a few issues, but I don’t know its past. I don’t think its the right for me, but it did catch fish.

  1. Sup Alex, always tough trying a new set up, but is human error with drag, i might've done it 🥺, its realistic right lol. Cought few atleast. I cant keep up with bro manson, but my ozark trail still works. Bro Manson might have few reels🧟, tyvm tc 🎣

  2. I got that same terrible rain storm you got. The only thing I can manage go catch in the mud soup is common carp on corn! Maybe you should give it a try? I think it would make a cool video! 🌽

  3. Ozark trail should make a return! Glad you got some bites and fish. Oooo hate to say it I blew up a baitcaster on an over hanging branch a couple outings ago! Thanks for keeping it realistic!

  4. How cool is that!!! Hey, do you ever fish the online Tournaments?? I'm looking to put together a small tournament on one of the host sites! Would be awesome if you'd be interested in doing something like that! I'm going to try to reach out to a few different youtube hosts. It'll be a couple weeks away, montana is still cold LOL

  5. Alex, you are correct, that reel was used…twice. It is supposed to have ceramic bearings in it. Maybe send it to I-Fish and have him check it out. Thank you for the honest review.

  6. The cheap reals I get online make the same sound out of the box. They'll break in after a few trips. Grease her up and do a few days of bombing a big rattletrap out. It worked for mine. Also looks like the water reseced well there. Cleaned up nicely from the flooding.👍👍👍😄😄😄

  7. I love my Ozark trail reels. Both the bait caster and the spinning reels are smooth as silk and cast forever. I bought them both because of this very show.
    Keepin it realistic.

  8. It's loud because it has ceramic spool bearings. Whatever you do don't oil them. The Wraith is a bit older now but the Arrival reel Sixgill makes is a newer model made in the USA and is pretty great! Been nothing but happy with the Arrivals until I lost them to a fire. Had them paired with their made in USA Series 6 rods. Anyways, keep it realistic. 👍🏻

    Edit: I had a Wraith too..wasn't very impressed with it either. The Arrival blows it away.

  9. Love your videos … learn so much and catching so many more fish this season… went panfishing today and caught 4 rock bas and had a blast doing it … it’s not always about size…lol 🤪 Keep it Realistic !!!
