What's up guys?
Today we're testing the self-setting
automatic fishing rod that I ordered from wish.com
uh, it's a rod from china, I spent about $5 on it
you can see there's this big spring on here
this rod actually bends in half
'kay?
and it locks in there
and there's a trigger right there
okay?
when the fish starts to pull it out--wooooh!
The spring shoots up
and locks in place
and sets the hook for you
so you don't have to be super attentive on it, you can-
you can be chillin
you can be hanging around
it'll set itself and all you have to do is reel it in
uh, it's a little funny little gimmick rod that, uh
I'm wondering if it works
so let's give it a try
So here's the rig I'm using
I've got an egg sinker
a bead
swivel
about a foot of-foot of leader line
and a hook
and I'm just going to put some, uh
some shrimp on here
cast it out and see what bites
Okay, so I've casted it out
waiting for it to sink
now, I'm going to open up the spring part
bend the rod in half
and, take a look,
it just snaps into place and holds
look at that
[laughing offscreen] That's pretty funny, isn't it?
Alright, now this is how you set the trigger
you put the line
over these two
so when you pull this it pulls the trigger
can you guys see that?
Alright
spike it into the ground
and wait
[Erin] Brendon, Brendon.
[Erin[ It would have gone off if it was going to go off.
[Brendon] It'll come back for it
[Erin] Line's still moving... line's still moving---ooh!
[Brendon] There we go!
Yes!
Ohp, not on there
it went off but it's not on there
[Erin] Aaargh... [Brendon] Oop--! Yes it is!
[Erin laughing] Yes it is!
Hoo hoo hoo ha ha!
[Erin] Yes! what is that? [Brendon] The rod won!
Ooh, there we go
[Erin] Ohh hello.
[Brendon] Hello Mr. Catfish [Erin] Big catfish
[Brendon laughing] So the rod works
[erin laughing] I'm so happy [Brendon] One for one so far
Sometimes it gets set off
and uh, it misses the fish
but I'd say it has around a 70% hookup ratio
I caught a channel catfish right here
Aaaargh it's biting me!
[Erin] Biting you? [Brendon] Yeah, it bit me
there we go
let's see if we can get a bigegr one
I know there's some big ones in here
Alright! It worked! It worked!!
[Erin laughing]
Nice...
So lift up the spring
First you're going to lift up the spring
[Erin] Lift it--oh, I see
[Brendon] and then crank it down
Nice. [Erin] Okay.
Alright, now set the feather trap-I mean, set the--
[Erin] Which one does it go around? [Brendon] Set the trap, just--
put it--now reel it in-- [Erin gasps]
[Brendon] You.... [Erin laughs]
[Brendon] That's how--that's how you don't do it. [Erin] Brendon!
There you go.
Set the trap
Now just leave it, okay?
Now you're going to reel it in
so there's enough tension
go ahead
okay, stop.
Right there
[Erin] Something keeps jumping...
[Brendon] Yeah...
[Erin] Okay so the trap is set
and now we're just waiting for something to set it off, right? [Brendon] Yup
And you're going to reel this one in? [Erin] Yuh [Brendon] Alright.
Easy peasy lemon...
[Erin] Squeezy...
[Brendon] Look, look, look, look, look!
Ooh! Oh!
No, you go in there, you go in there!
[Erin] Okay.
[Erin gasps] Oh! [Brendon] Get it, get it!
Set the---
Is it on? [Erin whispers] Yes!
It's on!!
Nice Erin!
[both laughing] [Erin] It's pretty big
[Brendon] It's pretty big? [Erin] Woahh!
[Brendon] Woah, woah, woah, woah, careful, careful
[Erin] Maybe it's just a
big, heavy catfish
Ho!
Ho! There it is
[Brendon] Oh, woah, where is it?
[Erin] It's there [Brendon] Okay, hold-hold this, let me bring it up
[Brendon whispers] Okay, ready?
[both laugh and exclaim]
[Brendon] Number two!
So many catfiiish
Alright
what kind of catfish is this, Erin?
[Erin] Uhh...
[Brendon] It's not blue...
[Erin] Channel?
[Brendon] It's a channel, yeah
Blue catfish
they're blue
channel catfish
they're yellow. [Erin] They're channel.
[Brendon laughs]
I have one of the stupidest looking
fishing products I've ever seen
I saw it on wish.com
and uh, there's actually a lot of these on wish.com
and it's pretty popular in china
um,
I have no idea how to use it
there's nothing on youtube on how to use it
so since there's no information in this
online, um, not that I've been able to find
uh, we're kind of just figuring out how to use this
like, I'm not sure if we're supposed to put lures on it,
maybe you're supposed to put a bottom rig on it
but, um, we're going to try
but today the challenge is
catch a fish
using the wrist rod
let's try with this.
I'mma fling the bait out with this
[Erin] How do you think that's going to work?
[Brendon] No idea, we'll find out.
Ready?
[Erin] Oh! [Brendon] It actually worked
[Erin] That worked pretty well| [Brendon] That worked pretty well
So I'll put it in the
the bait reservoir right here
I made this sling shot into a-a
a, uh-a bait flinger.
So you put it in
push this
and then you fire it off.
That's pretty far...
That is pretty far...
Okay, so I'm trying to figure out how I can cast this thing
and I'm thinking, maybe if I, like
like swing it like this
that worked!
That was pretty far
that was pretty far
okay, that's one way to do it
Let's do it again, let's do it again... [Erin] Yup
Ha!
[Brendon laughs]
Swinging it around like this
[Erin] Oooh, the lasso
[Brendon] The lasso, boiiiis
Ooh, there's a fish jumping right there
See, I have no idea how I would set the hook
If I-if I did catch a fish
how the heck would I set the hook
on a lure?
Like that--?!
Ready?
Bite, bite--
No...
Aargh!
I can't set the hook!
[brendon laughing and panting]
I can't set the hook...
I think something's pulling my line...
Yup, it's moving...
It's moving...
Okay, I'm going to set the hook by-by-by- by grabiing the line this time
watch...
ooh, I got it...
Okay, wait-wait-wait
[Erin] You're not even reeling the thing anymore... [laughing]
Nooo!
It's till on there-hold on
Oh yeah, it's still on there--ooh!
[some kind of laugh/cough]
It's on! It's on, it's on
[laugh/cough?] Woah!!
That's a big puffer!
[Erin] Woah, that's a pretty big puffer
Woah!
[Brendon] Nice
Puffer...
Alright, let me tell you about that hook-set
it was nice to hook-set it with my hand, uh, but after that
it's just like -- this thing is pretty useless
[Erin, understandingly] Mhmm... [Brendon] It sucks!
See ya, puffer
So it did work
If I-if I use my hand to hookset it
and like, actually pull the line
but using my arm did not work at all
[Erin] Okay, but the hand worked.
[Brendon] Yes, the hand worked
I've been trying to use this darn thing like, literally just about all day
so far, it's like, what time is it now? Like 3?
[Erin] Yeah. [Brendon] We've been trying to use this all day and we've only caught one puffer fish on it, um
I'm gonna call it
this is a...
pppbbbttt product
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen
so this is a, uhh, a Chinese fishing rig that has a chum bucket in the middle
and six hooks coming off of it
but today I'm going to put some--some shrimp in here
and uh, some shrimp on the hooks
and see what I catch
looks like all of the shrimps are gone
I guess it worked?
[Erin] No, it worked, there's no I guess
you caught a fish
[Brendon] Awesome!!
Ready? [Erin] Yup
Oh my god!
Holy crap!
[Erin] Is this the chum bucket? [Brendon] This is the chum bucket
[Erin] Oh my gosh
Oh my gosh!
[Brendon] What the--?? [Erin] Did you just catch a red drum?
[Brendon] I just caught a red drum!!!--?
[Erin] On the chum bucket! [Brendon] Wait-- I just caught a red drum...
Holy crap
[Erin] That's a nice drum.
[Brendon] What the heck...?
[Erin] Have you ever caught a red drum here before?
[Brendon] Never ever ever
[Erin] Never...
[Brendon] What the heck?
[Brendon] What the actual heck... [Erin] Okay....
[Brendon] That's crazy. [Erin laughing with glee]
[Brendon] That is a beautiful fish
Wow.
[Erin] Let's see the fish
[Erin] Oh, yeah, oh, wow.
[Brendon] This thing worked really well!
This thing worked really really well
That's so cra--[gasps]
I think it concludes
this thing does catch fish
and it catches a whole bunch of different kinds of fish
[Erin] You have eel blood on your face...
[Brendon] That's how I like it
[Erin] It's all over your face, it's literally on your eyelid
[Brendon] That's what--okay...
[Brendon] I've got eel slime on my sleeves, so I can't wipe it...
It's just part of fishing
You gotta learn to love it
If I could lick my eyeball right now, I would
