What's up kicking their bass fan This is fishing norm. I'm sure you guys my swim bait box right here Even though it is very dry right now, but we do have some swim baits still left in here I took everything out, but we left some of them in here kind of sort of so right here Anyway, so here's one of my ice slides and the tail came off and it has some fuzziness Remember when we put your camera in this box we are I'm not gonna say the name the lake, but we were there That'll block some of the wind out So yeah, this one has a magnet on the bottom. It's pretty cool I haven't used it and probably like three years though to be fair I did take all my cool swim baits out and I hung them up on the wall and then I came here with My average swim baits I guess we got ourselves the go skill Gantarilla I actually caught some on the bedding season last year fall. I'm joking Yeah, so we got this a go skill Gantarilla here as you can tell I had it tied on Multiple times and caught some bedding fish on this thing. They do not like it You can actually put a weight on the front of this little bluebill right here It's like he's eating the eggs on the basses bed. So yeah, it's a killer Bed fishing bait any type of bait really. I mean it's not any type of baits What am I saying anytime you can fish with this thing The rest of the stuff in here. I mean this is a S waiver probably my favorite glide bait of all time for glide baits These are actually super cheap or affordable because some of them can be hundreds of dollars and this one's only you know He's got a ton of fish on that and you know, I see that's like all he throws like religious Really big one of fat catfish on one of these big old catfish in Alabama I'm selling money to haircut.

This is a message I really needed to say to you guys much earlier, but there's a whole reason on why I didn't do that And so I'm gonna spill it today. So you guys are a fan of the channel. You guys have been supporting me for a while I appreciate the support I would like you guys to watch this all the way through so you guys kind of understand the whole deal because I kind of Want to get it off my chest. It's been a while. So For you guys that have been watching my channel for a while 2017-2018 I was sponsored by 13 fishing You know, I was under contract with them a sponsor buy with them from 2017 to 2018 a little bit in 2019 but I wasn't under contract With that being said at the beginning of the year We both just couldn't come on with terms for the 2019 season if you guys don't know I'm actually a full-time student at college and I'm doing a lot and they were wanting to produce like a lot more video content for their channel Which I would love to be a part of but it's just something that couldn't really walk away from school and be able to Do my videos and kick in their bass and the brand and do all that together with something I wasn't gonna be able to happen the people over at 13 literally everything about them great people I have nothing bad. I can say about any of them on their products amazing products Because I saw a lot of people counting like dude is there something wrong with their stuff like a bunch of stuff and no You know, they make premium products Just like almost any other rotting real brand out there on the market at the end of the day every company makes something That's good And it's nothing if their product was bad or something was going wrong It's not that so don't take that in the wrong way, but let's go ahead and move into 2019 and what ended up happening So pretty much that whole five months. I was using 13 gear at the beginning of this year I was not sponsored by them. I'm not at all people thought I was because I was still using their stuff Which I can totally understand. I didn't say anything. So I understand why people would think that But what you guys didn't notice is in some of the episodes I used St. Croix rods. I used favorite rods. I used Abu reels. I used some Shimano's. I used a lot of lose I used a ton of different brands. I was experimenting You guys know one of my good buddies lojo. He is sponsored by lose David with lose very kind guy amazing dude. He's treated me so well. He ended up reaching out He said hey, do you mind if I send you a few rods and reels? You can test out and try out I said, alright, that's cool. I was just fishing with the reels, you know Nothing more than that just fishing with the stuff and as time went on, you know a month or so into it I really started to enjoy the product and you know I started to talk to him further to see if we can collaborate in the future And with that being said every company that I work with and you guys can take my word on this I've done this for eight years guys. I've worked with many of brands many of companies a ton of great people And I only use products that I believe in and I know that are legit because I know a lot of you guys are Beginners so if I say, you know, I'm using this and you guys don't know anything about fishing You're gonna look it up and you're possibly gonna want to check it out And I don't want to talk about anything unless I know it's legit. Okay, so with that being said hold on Thanks, Norm you're welcome with that being said I told David with loose, you know, we talked and everything I wanted to use the product that he sent me For a while and by a while that while ended up being like probably three to four months So there's four months every single day like I pretty much fish every day I was using the mock series combos and I wanted to see if they're legit You know, I didn't want to say loses name in my videos because I didn't want to push anybody in the wrong direction If they weren't the combos I thought they were so I used the stuff every single day Literally like just throwing it around throwing in my truck traveling all over the place fishing with all these boys I'm just having a good time and you know, I wanted to make sure that it was legit And let me tell you guys this this is my answer right now about loose fishing those four months I was using those combos the same combos. I started out with I'm talking fishing every day You can ask this boy behind the camera like you know Every every day and I'm being completely honest with you you guys look at the combos I started with look at the ones I'm using now. I got a bunch of new ones now that I just re-spooled yesterday I didn't have one problem with any of them not one and that is my a hundred percent Honesty right there. I haven't either by the way and he hasn't either and he's been using them Okay, out of those four months of us using them every single day With that being said I did have one problem, but it was not the rod or the reels fall. I Smashed two of mine in the door so actually I didn't have a problem, but it was my own problem And then I was fishing a turn to me I don't know if you guys saw but the the rod got stuck on one of the cleats right there Right in half it wasn't the rods thought it was just a stupid stupid scenario But yeah guys over those four months. I didn't have any problems So now I'm confident in saying that lose is a legit brand. They make legit products It's no bull crap The stuff's gonna last in my opinion for the time that I've used it I haven't had any problems if I had something I would say it if there was some big problems with it And I didn't think it was the right equipment. I wouldn't be partnering up with this But this was the answer you guys have been wanting for a while So I just ended up partnering with lose to be using the rods and reels And I would like to say a huge thank you to David and everyone else over at lose we you know talked a lot over the over the months and just really great people and The most important thing when it comes to me working with the company collaborating with the company partnering with the company is That relationship, you know, I see a bunch of guys out here nowadays that you know they'll see something they won't even have the product in their hand and They'll sign the deal because they get a bunch of free product or to get money And that's one thing that I'm not gonna do and it's one thing that I've stayed true of the last eight years And you can go back on my constant and watch, you know, I'm just telling you the truth right here. So With that being said amazing people over there It's just just phenomenal and I almost feel like I'm family, you know, I can call them anytime I want if I have any problems I'll let him know But so far everything's been good And I just wanted to kind of spill everything on the table kind of tell you guys what happened with 13 Transferring it over to lose and like I said nothing against 13 and a lot amazing people over there And they really took care of me and I appreciate them their products were amazing But you know going in to this upcoming year I'm going to be the using lose fishing products. I'm hopefully going to be using them forever you know, that's my main goal at the end of the day is I have a very long-term relationship and Be like family with the company be able to talk to them and you know if I have any problems be able to spill that But if you guys have any questions, be sure to comment them down below I really appreciate each and every one of you guys supporting me in the channel.
