00:00 what’s up everybody kevin from palmetto
00:02 cats today’s episode is going to be a
00:04 little different
00:05 than the rest today we’re going to be
00:07 unboxing the brand new
00:09 pc fun alloy m low profile reel
00:12 i’m also going to be showing you all the
00:14 cool swag and gear i got
00:16 from the catapalooza that was this past
00:18 weekend
00:19 let’s get to it all right y’all this is
00:21 the pc fun
00:22 alloy m brand new from pc fun
00:26 it features eight plus one ball bearings
00:29 seven
00:30 five to one gear ratio a retrieve rate
00:33 of 29.5 inches per turn
00:36 that features 22 pounds of max drag
00:39 it weighs a whopping 7.4 ounces so it’s
00:42 gonna be a small reel
00:44 looks like it’ll hold 175 yards of seven
00:47 pound test monofilament
00:48 and 165 yards of 20 pound
00:52 braid so it’s a small reel i think
00:54 that’s the first thing we’re going to
00:55 notice
00:56 when we take it out the box the box
00:57 itself is pretty small
00:59 all right so as we open the box you’re
01:01 probably going to see a lot of familiar
01:03 things we have the reel
01:04 wrapped in plastic and then the pc
01:07 fun schematic that comes with it and
01:10 i’ve learned that these are not
01:12 for you to tear the reel apart or put
01:14 them back together it’s so you can refer
01:16 to the parts list
01:17 if something were to fail you can get in
01:19 contact with the
01:20 pc fund and they’ll send you out the
01:22 part you need as we take it out just as
01:24 I
01:25 suspected it’s a very small reel
01:28 very smooth reel similar clicking
01:31 on the drag the reel i have is a
01:33 right-handed reel but it does come in a
01:36 left-handed
01:37 reel option additionally if you wanted
01:40 a different gear ratio this is a 751
01:44 it also comes in a 631 and an
01:47 841 gear ratio to fit your needs
01:51 i’ll just take you for a quick tour
01:52 around the reel we have our precise
01:55 drag settings over here tensioner knob
01:58 which clicks so you know that you’re
02:00 turning it
02:00 it’s not a power handle but it is an
02:02 oversized paddle handle which i like
02:05 inside comes with a carbon fiber handle
02:08 pc fun claims that this reel is going to
02:10 be very
02:11 durable the adc 12 grade aluminum frame
02:14 of the alloy and bait casting reel says
02:16 they say it offers exceptional
02:18 durability
02:19 it’s corrosion resistant and impact
02:21 resistant
02:22 which helps you battle hard fighting
02:2 4fish in fresh or in salt water that’s
02:26 straight from their website it features
02:28 precise
02:29 magnetic braking has 12 magnets which
02:32 offers a quick
02:32 on the fly adjustment to avoid
02:34 backlashes no matter what the conditions
02:36 you face
02:37 this reel has four 10 percent larger
02:39 carbon drag washers
02:41 and one oversized hamai cnc brass gear
02:45 which allows it to have 22 pounds of
02:47 drag
02:48 that hamay cut technology they say is
02:50 designed with more teeth
02:52 than typical systems to increase the
02:54 overall smooth
02:55 performance when they first sent me this
02:57 rule i wasn’t sure what i was going to
02:59 do with it it’s too small for catfish
03:01 just doesn’t have the line capacity i’d
03:03 want to
03:04 fight catfish so i think i’m going to
03:07 put it on a bait rod
03:08 and use it to catch bluegill herring big
03:11 shell cracker
03:12 and as i use this reel more and more
03:14 i’ll let you know what i think about it
03:16 in my videos
03:17 so just keep checking out my videos and
03:19 then once we’re at the end of a
03:21 six-month trial i’ll give you my overall
03:23 impression of it and let you know what i
03:24 think the alloy

07:49 why do you need two more reels
07:52 i’m going to show you some of you may
07:54 have seen my short of the hellcat rod
07:57 that’s right the hellcat rod i bought a
07:59 medium action
08:00 hellcat rod from cash to fever and when
08:03 i got to the conference
08:04 i picked up the medium heavy and i was
08:06 so impressed

08:11 to have a pair
08:12 so i got the medium heavy too each rod
08:15 comes with this silky smooth

08:20 heavy that i bought

08:34 rods i want you to see that it really
08:35 doesn’t matter what rod you use
08:38 i have my favorites i love my muddy
08:39 rivers i love these catch the fevers
