What is up guys? Today we're going to be doing a bit of a review. This could potentially be all you'll need to go out there and catch some fish. Check this thing out. This is a rod and real combo inside this little box with some tackle sent to me by this company called Placino. We're going to be doing a little bit of a test and review of this today. I'm going to give you guys my honest opinions. I'm not going to be biased in the one way because it was sent to me for free. Instead we're going to actually get some field use. You won't have to take my word for it. We're going to see how this thing performs because, of course, anyone's got their doubts about a rod that's this big and extends out to 5, 6, 7 feet. Then also we're going to test out the reel. We're going to see why the line that comes with the tackle they provide. Let's just dive right into it. I'm going to go ahead and pop this thing open. This is my unboxing. I haven't looked at any of this stuff yet. I know what's in here, the majority I've had at least, but I really haven't opened this up. This is the rod, I'm assuming. Placino 210. Whoops. Sweet. I guess you just unwrap this? Oh, it locks. So this protector on the end, it actually locks on here. You unwrap this deal and then you can take this off. And that's what protects all these eyelets from getting hit when you've got it in the box or in your backpack. It's just this sucker right here. It feels pretty sturdy. Let's extend this a little bit. Oh. And this thing will mess around. Oh, this is going to be fun. So if the reel's down here, get all these eyelets to line up a little bit. This might be the trickiest part of just getting the eyelets to line up when you take this thing out. But if that's the worst of your worries, you're probably in a good shape. Then you check that out so that the tip of the rod is orange and the rest of it has got this stainless finish. Cool. Let's go ahead and see what's real looks like. A little bit of a miniature tackle box, I guess. Here's a box actually. Then you include a bunch of tackle here. Yeah, you've got some weights in here, some jig heads, some plastics, and then also a couple crankbait looking wheels. Oh, we got the reel. It looks like something to pay 50 bucks for by itself. Cool. The handle's a little whack. But aside from the handle, I think we're in good shape here. Oh, yeah. It makes a little noise. You know it's not the smoothest thing. Weird thing is the handle. This is kind of interesting. Who cares? It works. It works. So I'm assuming this is anti-reverse. Yeah. Now I will only go this way and it won't spin. Alright, let's get back to it. They include some lines. I'll see if it says what rating this line is because all it says here is 0.28mm and it says that it's 120mm. So I'm assuming 120mm. We'll see now Fishing Rod combo. General safety tips. Never go fishing alone. Always fish with a group of at least three people and always stay inside of each other if one person was washed into the sea. That person can stay and assist while the third person gets help. Let me show you what I use to put the line on at home. A bing. And we take our box and we're going to feed the line through all the guides. Once you've got it through all the guides, you tie a little knot onto the spool and I just do a simple over and under type of thing. I don't do anything crazy. I found this to be one of the best ways. Let's get out there and try and catch some. Alright, we're here. I might leave this in the car. We're starting off by the way with a Texas rig. I just tied it on using tackle from the box that was included. I've got high hopes but I've never really used a pink warm out here or pretty much in general at all. Like a dream. Right off the bat I notice it's weighted towards the front. There's not a really good 50-50 balance. The handle could be slightly longer or more weight right here and making a little bit more comfortable but it's not a big complaint. It's just something I noticed. I didn't check my drag. Ooh, that could be dangerous. I think it's pretty tight if the right fish grabs hold. I think they did to just take it. It holds 280 yards of 6 pound line. So maybe that 120 m was about 280 of 6 pound line. This could be 6 pound line and it's got the 5-2-1 gear ratio. Yeah. Alright, I think we're going to try something else. I just don't have too much faith in this color getting us anything here because I'm always throwing the greens. So let's see what else is in this box and tie something else on. We're doing what I originally didn't want to do. I want to get you guys something on this rod and reel. So I went ahead and tied on something out of my own tackle box. We're just going with a basic wacky rig setup and we're going to see because I've caught fish here on this before if we can't just get a few and then when we get a hot street going if at all we'll go ahead and try some more of the baits that they include. That way we got a good idea of how it performs. Oh. Oh. This could be our guy. The drag's not set. The drag's not set. Yo, we got one on the rod. We got the first one. Oh, let's bring her home. I got to tighten up this drag. It's a Mando. Yo. Raking them up. That. Oh, don't snap the line. We lost the worm. Yes. She works. Who did thought? There you go. So I wonder if he was chasing it or if he had it for a while and I just didn't realize it. You know what I found is this rod has fairly low sensitivity. You got to really be just sitting to notice you've got a bite with something like this worm. The main portion of the rod is pretty stiff. It feels good. But then that tip is just it's not what I prefer and yet it doesn't matter because I don't have anything that can fit into a backpack like this. You know what I'm saying? I've even got that cheaper $5 Walmart rod but when I fold it down it doesn't fold down to this much. It's like two pieces of about this length right here. So you can't really even get it into a backpack without it sticking out. So I mean there's not much on the market like this. I think this is just actually a pretty sweet setup if you want to go and catch some fish just about anywhere in the world right? I mean you can catch big old trout on this 6 pound line which I'm assuming once again that's what this is I don't know but you know it's pretty light. We just got back from San Diego and we were fishing with lighter setups like this and we reeled in a big old halibut. We reeled in some sea bass or whatever the case was a spot fin croaker. So if you could have something like this Placino setup right here take it with you on your travels and it's ready to go in a moment's notice. You can already have your lure tied on and have that protector keep in the eyelids in good shape. This is pretty sweet. You know if it holds up through a couple more sessions which at this point I'm sure it will I'm gonna have to get me a few more. I'll tell you that much. And since I caught that first fish on the wacky rig I'll also go ahead and link the hooks in the worms for you guys in case you're interested in just picking up some wacky rigs. It's definitely a staple so so that's weightless it's not a weedless hook it's just basic setup not much to it. Oh. Got one. Yes number two. Let's get him up and over. He's telling you she'll fire but what's even better is we still got the worm. Hey man this thing's pretty sweet. Tell you that much you want to start from the tip and go this way I found out because I tried to pull this one in first and then it made doing the rest of them a little bit trickier so go from the rod tip down to the base there and you'll have better luck putting this thing away. But you know I was also kind of surprised that while I was using it none of them came loose otherwise of course I'd show it you know I feel like I tightened them down pretty good but yeah check that out on the go man and I've never really used a reel that had this button here where you can fold the handle down and now it's locked in place so nifty little travel feature too. Oh and all man I like this thing a lot I'm going to use it a ton of course this is not the last video you're going to see it and in fact I'm probably going to ask for a few more from these guys try the whole lineup because you know why not. It was like a good company to me but yeah that's that.
