Best Fishing product I Have ever seen

all right guys so it is my favorite time of the year right now to fish actually just because the baits that you get to use and it's kind of a grind but talking about something a lot cooler today this is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen in the fishing industry like I'm so happy about this just got this box in today couldn't wait to open it but this is unbelievable we're going to take this out and I'm going kind of show y'all what this is right there you can see it's numbered it's number number 13 Hunters called divs on number 13 these are all numbered I'm going to show y'all what it is basically it's a spool of sunline shooter a signature spool this is to commemorate the aoi win that I had this year sunline is going to do this for all their Pros going forward really really cool that I'm the first one in America to get a sunline commerative spool for win an aoi so I mean it's really really awesome it comes with a actual card in here that says to honor Kyle welchire on behalf of sunline all this stuff it's got the spool with sticker that you can stick on it it's 20 lb sunline shooter but it's a lot more of a collector's item but this is just I mean just awesome you see down there in the bottom says number 13 I got number one for myself I'm going to keep number one the first spol look at that that just turned out absolutely sick you know in today's day and age of tournament bass fishing and sponsorships and stuff like that these companies start to just expect a lot of social media and expect you know a lot of work and stuff like that which is which is right you know like I do a lot of work for my sponsors and stuff but to show a company like sunline to for them to show me how much they're going to give back and do something like this to kind of celebrate the biggest accomplishment of my life thus far just means a ton and that's why I align myself with companies like sunline because they do stuff like this you know they call you in the offseason and to see how you're doing not to tell you that you're getting you know cut down you know like we're we're it's a relationship and a friendship and it just means a ton for them to bag me like this for years and years since I've been a rookie I got with sunline my rookie year and for them to come out and then to make something like this for me it just means a ton you know and they just they really want to celebrate and they're really proud of me so if y'all want to go get one of these they're available at the sunline website right now very very limited number less Le than 300 of these are going to be available probably closer to 200 are going to be available and that's not very many whenever you talk about the fishing industry as a whole can get one so if you want to get one you better hurry you better run to the sunline website link in the description we will put the link in the description and this is 20 lb sunline shooter and we're about to go fish right now with some 20 lb sunline shooter and probably catch a bass or two so awesome shout out to sunline I appreciate it that is absolutely unbelievable super sick it turns out it it turned out it looks awesome from what I heard they did some of these in Japan years ago for a couple Japanese Anglers and then also for Aaron Martins which obviously he is you know a phenomenal fisherman one of the best fisherman of all time really analytical when it came to line and hooks and baits and stuff like that so for them to appreciate him years back in Japan that's really really cool but these have never been sold before in America so you'll be the one of the first people to go get one if y'all go order one from sunline so that's awesome and I appreciate it shout out to sunline about to go catch a bass with 20 lb sunline shooter all right guys since we're on the subject of fishing line I'm going to kind of walk y'all through the properties that make me pick one fishing line over another you see right here these are the fishing lines that I use throughout the course of a year now some of these need to be refilled but this is an awesome thing that I got for Christmas couple years ago and that thing has made been a lifesaver because I use a ton of different types of fishing l line and it makes I have to dig stuff out and find somebody to hold it and then burn my wife Hunter's fingers all up while I'm spooling the line on the Reel but you know there's people think about fishing line and it goes from you know people thinking that there's one type of fishing line and that's is what you use for fishing you know monofilament they buy at Walmart put on reels and there's nothing wrong with that that's actually the the kind of the Grassroots of fishing but there's tons of different types and a lot lot of people ask me what line do you use for this and why to use it for this I'm going to do a brief overview of exactly why I use certain lines for certain things you know I've got a lot of different types of line in here this right here is braid you know but I've got these two boxes right here these bags soft bags from sunline these are really really cool and this is how I store a ton of braid throughout the course of a year so you can see that's all my all my spinning rod braid goes in here so I've got a couple different types in here for some different reasons like this right here is the D braid this is going to be rebranded improved a little bit and it's going to be a different name for this coming out very very soon but the reason to throw this is super thin diameter the D braid actually sinks you know kind of not as fast as a fluorocarbon but it actually sinks so that light line situations and heavy current I like to get that line down there and you know if you have a line a braid line that floats and you're in a lot of current you'll get a big bow in your line this helps you not do that in those situations where you need that now the one that I've been using the most by far recently is the new sunline AMZ braid this and the OverWatch which uh I may be out of OverWatch cuz I've been using it a lot also also too let's see if I got some I got some I got a sample of OverWatch that's all I've got left those two braides are very very smooth casting you know like no coating on it cast super super well super limp I can make super long cast it ties Notch really really well and that's the reason that I go to the AMZ or the OverWatch braid AMZ comes in Orange fluorescent orange usually if I'm using that I tie FG knot have a longer lader then I use the xplasma also this is kind of if I'm going to use a rod you know like if I'm going to spool up braid on a rod and kind of leave it on there for a while it's usually going to be the as OA xplasma whatever want to call it that's kind of what I use the most or for the longest is actually that type of braid cuz it has that coating on it and it actually has like a break-in period is what it seems like so that line actually cast better after using it for a day or two so this is actually my what is this this is a lot of my braid for frogs and swim Jigs and bait cash and all that type of stuff I keep the tried and true sx1 this is a four strand braid four carrier braid I like this a lot for matte fishing you know anytime fishing in slop anytime I'm way back in he in heavy vegetation that four strand braid will really cut through that grass and get it out and four strand braid is actually a Little Bit Stronger per diameter than a eight strand braid the other one that I use a ton is actually on here it's going to be the same thing the AMZ it's right here it's a it's 50 lb AMZ 60 lb AMZ 35 lb AMZ that is is a very smooth casting line so when I spool up new new braid the night before a tournament I'm always going to use the AMZ because what that does is soon as I spool it up I'm already going to be able to cast that bait you know as good as I possibly can as good as my ability will allow me to because it's not a rigid braid that has a lot of coating on it and stuff like that that when you take line off and put new line on it's going to be very very consistent and it's also very strong and very smooth and that's the braid that I've been using the most for all my power fishing stuff in the in recent months and I keep some sunline xplasma ASA whatever you want to call it I keep some of that in here for specifically punching in mats cuz the xplasma asaga and then the sx1 those two are the strongest braids that I've ever used I believe like those they are super super strong so when I'm in that super heavy cover I really want to go that route cuz I know it's not going to fail I know it's not going to break I have never ever broke 60 lb X plasma break so I mean that stuff is absolutely juice now we got a couple different options we got shooter as far as floc carbon goes we've got sniper and then only other one I really use is the crank FC I do have some of the do strike in here and I like it you know a lot in certain situations but I don't really know why I would use it over one of the other ones so I have used this for vibrating jigs just because because it's designed for vibrating Jigs and it really it feels like I hook them really really well on it like it's got a little bit more stretch kind of sniper is it it feels like sunline sniper as far as stretch goes and I really really do like it but when I'm in a bind and I'm packing to go to a tournament typically I just take shooter and I take sniper and then I take the crank FC so these kind of go in order of stretch now the crank FC has the most stretch this line feels feels like monofilament like it it casts like monofilament but it it is fluorocarbon but it's it's got more properties that are resemble monofilament line and one of the main things that I've been doing with this in recent years is when it's really really cold this more rigid braid um fluorocarbon is tough to cast when it's really really cold light baits you know I throw the OG tiny4 a dt4 a dt6 cast really well no matter what but a dt4 and OG tiny those types of baits very difficult to cast especially when it's cold and that line starts starts to get you know a little bit more memory to it and stuff like that so the FC crank is definitely the line that I can throw the furthest the most consistently and then also those fish just kind of get get that mush mouth that time of year whenever it's really cold and they'll just kind of kind of you know barely suck in the bait and that extra stretch really helps a ton of me you know giving them an extra second before I lean into them and actually get them coming to the boat so the FC crank really really good for light baits really good for consistency as far as casting goes and then really good in cold watera in cold water FC sniper very very similar application for me I typically use the FC sniper kind of alongside with the FC crank I just kind of go back and forth one or the other the sniper cast extremely well if I'm bomb cast casting you know heavier baits cuz a sniper comes in all the way up to a 20 lb line if I'm cranking you know a big bulky Square Bill around wood I want to go 16 18 lb line I'm usually going to use the sniper for that vibrating jigs all that type of stuff usually the sniper is a really good application for that now if I'm going to be the sniper or the do strike kind of go hand inand for those two if I'm going to be high impact throwing a ChatterBait up super shallow seeing them eat it or feeling the bite and really setting the hook hard like you're not supposed to but I can't help but do I'm going to go to the shooter because it's it's going to handle that impact a whole lot better than the sniper is but this has a little bit less Str stretch than the crank FC a lot more affordable for a lot of people you know I've caught a bunch of bass in my life flipping 25lb sniper you know skipping a jig on her boat docks with 20 lb sniper and it's still a very strong line but whenever I need that high impact that's what I'm going to go want to go to the shooter so basically the main reasons that I'm going to use this line or this line is because how much better they actually perform on a cast and how much more accurately I can cast those little baits whenever that line is not kind of hindering the cast now if I know for sure that I'm going to be straight cranking like big giant rocks big Bluffs all that type of stuff with like a dt6 getting it down there and 7t of water and just kind of grind it on those rocks I'm going to use 10 lb shooter cuz I know the abrasion resistance is just going to be there whenever I'm I'm fishing that bait so I can grind on those rocks and then hook a big one and never really be scared that I'm that fish is going to break off I just back my drag off and I fight that fish and and get them back to the boat so I will use the shooter for cranking quite a bit but it's only in those situations where I know my line is going to get beat up and dinged up and stuff like that so that's something that I use for cranking that some a lot of people don't but the main thing for shooter is impact this thing right th this line can handle the impact it it can handle the big hook sets you know slack lining them dragging them through cover pulling them out of log jams metal docks that this is going to be the line for all that all those like really intense applications so I usually use for me I use a I use 14 lb up 14 to 22 is is what I use the most I use 25 you know rarely but I use 28 ton just like that signature spool that just came out that's that's 20 lb because that's the one that I use the absolute most but this is definitely the line that handles the impact and it doesn't get a lot of memory in it it's just whenever it's cold the line is uh less malleable and kind of less manageable whenever it's cold so that's one thing to remember you don't want to spool up some 10 lb shooter and then go try to throw a tiny little crankbait with it because you're going to have to fight with it whenever it's 40° outside or 20 20° outside or some of the guys live up north it might be colder than that but I don't want no part of nothing colder than about 40° so this line right here is the is the heavy lifter this is the one right here that I you see me skipping around ace jig or you know flipping the Bronco bug and heavy cover it's going to be on 22 lb sunline shooter 99% of the time that that's just what I use now there's a couple more types of line that I keep with me this is sunline FC leader this is the it is the strongest and most sensitive line that I've ever used for a leader thing about it is it's got even less stretch and whenever you're using you know braid Mainline attached to a leader you have to consciously know that you just need to lean into them because if you set the hook too hard with a spinning rod like you're not supposed to but sometimes I do throwing a Shaky Head out there or a drop shot and they bite it and my drag is a little too tight and I lean to them a little too hard with 8 lb line that line is going to have a harder time absorbing that shock because it is it has less stretch so you're going to be able to max out that actual um pound test and break that line a little bit more often but it's super sensitive super strong and I use it a lot for my leader line but the number one leader line that I use is still the sunline shooter it's got the right blend of everything for me that's what I catch a lot in big smallmouth on this year is sunlight is 8 or 10 lb sunline shooter as a leader so that's the lines that I keep with me and a brief overview of the properties so the Fluor carbon the biggest thing is the amount of stretch and the amount of abrasion resistance when you get to less stretch you get to a better abrasion resistance better sensitivity better feel less cast ability when you get to more stretch you get to a better cast ability you get less sensitivity and then you get less abrasion resistance so it's kind of a spectrum there that you kind of have to thread the needle on with the baits that you actually prefer and kind of figure out your system for that and all that changes based on the ride you're using if you're throwing a crankbait on a stiffer Rod you can get away with the FC or you know the FC crank is going to help you if you're throwing a a crankbait that's got really big like 2x trebles on it and you're throwing a really light rod and really stretchy line you're probably not going to get those hooks in past the Barb so just as important as the line is the system as far as the rod that you're using on those baits also so kind of a brief overview but that's all the stuff that I keep with me this is literally my box that I travel with or my three boxes that I travel with to every single Elite Series tournament this is the you know the sunline bag y'all see me rigging before the tournaments y'all see this bag laying out y'all see these camo bags laying everywhere because I do you know always have to get some stuff out of there for a tournament so hope that answered a couple questions and then shed a little bit of light and then some of y'all I know watch this video even though you already knew all this stuff and I appreciate that also so all this stuff is available at the sunline website so while you're over there go ahead and check it out but we will leave a link in the description to that signature spool if you want to go get it so appreciate y'all watching we'll see y'all
