 What's going on people? Here with the master Scott Martin. What's up, man? How you doing? Very good. Chilling an eye-catch, checking out the new stuff. It's an awesome and heavy part of the acumbate. We had an opportunity last year to get you on. I know you're loving the sticks. I love it. I love it. I've been fishing with a lot of my stuff, which is awesome. Man, these things are rock long. There's so many other cool rods to check out over here in the booth, but the stuff's going on. I love in the TCS series, the signature series, the Martin APC. I mean, it's amazing. The wheels are amazing. Here's the thing, guys. If you're a hardcore bass fisherman, like we are, put your gear through a lot of abuse. You're out there. You're sitting like you're both swinging three-pounders. You're flipping mats. You're skipping docks. You're doing all this stuff. We're not out doing four-pound line on spinning rods. We're a hardcore. These rods hold up. They're light. They're sensitive, but most importantly, they're durable. Everybody says they're Roger Durable. I mean, Roger, you're done. I'm Roger, I'm done. He's on Okeechobee, too, so he's doing a lot of... Here's the thing. When we tested these rods, we tested them on Okeechobee. Just like Noah said, if your rod will hold up at Okeechobee, it'll hold up anywhere, honestly. When you told me that, I asked you if I'm like, have you had any to break? You're on Okeechobee. You got that flipping digger on? You got the Mat Daddy? The Mat Daddy's here is another Mat Daddy. That's a 7-6. The rods, they're not broomsticks. All these rods are a little more parabolic than a lot of the rods out there in the industry. I did that on purpose because you don't lose fish. I've had a really good run the last three years of the tournament. Ever since these rods came out, I've been killing it. I've gotten better as a fisherman. I've learned new techniques I've developed, but the rods are big part of it. Because if you just don't lose fish, I'm able to make good, accurate casts. The heavies, they still have the tip that you need, but if you want to go with something different, the Martin APC, I told him it's a 7-foot medium heavy. It's amazing. I own 8 of them, 9 of them, like literally. That's my favorite rod. It's a medium heavy. You're going to have that tip. From skipping docks, I like to use a medium heavy. You have that tip, you have that accuracy. So that's why I like that one. But the heavies, they're great. The Frog Swimbait rod, it's an amazing rod. We need to change the Frog Swimbait rod. Don't let that scare you. You can throw a frog and you can throw a swimbait on it. Not like big, giant, you know, California swimbaits. They're more like bastards. You know, I think they've got frogs, obviously. Not Gunnersville type of grass, but anywhere else is fine. But that rod, we all change the name to that. That rod is the 7-foot 3-inch heavy. Everything you want to throw rod. It's pretty much just like the Martin APC is just a heavy. Yeah. And 3 inches big. Yeah. So, I throw chatter baits. You throw a jig on it. Top or everything. Anything. All right, you know, we're talking all about the rods and how awesome they are. The reels, the TCS reels. I mean, they have a whole line of reels here. Different price points, obviously. But this is the Akuma TCS and I helped. I didn't necessarily design this rod. I designed every aspect of this rod. That's another thing. I picked the blank. I picked how many tons of graphite, the exact guides, action, every aspect. This I did not design, but we did do the colors to match it. Yeah, matching. And that's an 8 to 1 on that one, which I know you've got some of those. I know you like that one a lot. That's on your 7 APC, which is, you know, again, it's a medium heavy, but here's the deal. All my rods, they're so lightweight, you know, like my Mat Daddy, it's an extra heavy Mat Daddy, right? There's not really a stiffer rod on the market. I mean, this combo is ridiculous. I mean, I can balance it on one finger. It's nothing. It's crazy light, cast amazing, can't beat it. There's a lot of choices out there and rods and rails in the market. For the price and everything? Just try Akuma guys. I'm telling you, you've got to love it. The stuff is durable, it gets the job done, and, you know, it's awesome. It's pretty cool. The casting distance guys is phenomenal. That's what I noticed at first. It was the first time I got one and I cast it and I was like, oh my God, this thing really casts it far. It's casting further than anything I've ever thrown. Isn't the rod sensitivity is there? Yup. You fill everything, you fill when a fish takes it. It's perfect. Durability is amazing unless you're sitting over there cracking your rod over your knee, but if your fishing is not going to break. So, like I said, he's on a Kachobi all the time. He's never had any problems with it. They hold up there, they hold up every time for sure. Really lightweight, all-around, good or unreal. Akuma TCS. Check it out. Go check it out. Alright guys, well, pretty much, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. It's a little bit different, we just kind of wanted to expand. We wanted to break everything down, tell you guys a little bit about Akuma. Tell them about your series, tell them about the new series coming out. Some of the reels, just breaking everything down. So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you have any questions or any Akuma stuff, just leave a comment below and we'll get back to you with the answer. Anything you guys want to say? Again, durability, sensitivity, those rods are rocking. They're helping me catch fish, wind tournaments, the TCS series, my signature series is killing it. And all the Akuma reels, John has designed some fantastic stuff here. And if you have never tried an Akuma, just buy an Akuma setup, you'll love it.
