Shimano Chronarch MGL Casting Reel Review

Have you seen the All-New Chronarch MGL?? Tim has been fishing the new Shimano Chronarch for a few weeks now and has fallen in love! He shares his experiences in this video...

Shimano's casting reels have been completely overhauled the last few years. The latest upgrade is the new Chronarch MGL, replacing the Chronarch CI4+. Combining light weight with increased handle size, you're sure to love this reel at only $279! The look and feel of this reel rivals the Metanium MGL, you need to give it a try!

How To Drive In Big Waves

Come on a boat ride with Matt as he explains the steps to safely running upwind, downwind, and cross swell in a bass boat. He explains how to position the boat and use different trim settings to your advantage so the next time you find yourself in rough conditions you can get home safely.  

This isn't the most glamorous topic but we all love the sport of bass fishing and its inevitable that you'll find yourself in bad weather from time to time. Prepare before you go out in heavy seas. Be sure that you're wearing a life jacket and always wear your kill switch while operating your outboard motor. Pay attention to your equipment and do preventative maintanence. The middle of the lake in large waves is not the time to have a minor breakdown leave you stranded!

We Suck At Dropshotting!!!

Reel Adjustment Tricks That Actually Make A Difference!

Wonder why you can't skip, flip, or make long casts? Learn how good fishermen are actually adjusting their reels. Matt explains the "traditional" method of reel adjustment but follows it up with real tips on how he tunes his reels so he can cast farther and fish cover more effectively. 

Why do the pros cast so effectively? Why can they skip and flip into tight spots but when you try you get backlash after backlash? Some of it is time on the water but some of it is reel adjustment. If you loosen everything up and learn to control the spool with your thumb you will become a much more effective fisherman.
