2023 GRAPHITELEADER CORTO Prototype (23GCORPS-642UL-HS)

What is the vomparison between the prototype rods of corto and the normal corto? Thanx in advance.

Have you seen the new 2022 Daiwa Tatula XT 642UL-ST solid tip? It also come in 682UL-ST.

Do you think this rod would be a good trout rod?

I just saw the Corto UX on digitaka. How do you think it compares? Just by looking at the blank material it looks like a massive downgrade.

I really need some clarification regarding hard solid tip. Is it similar to tubular tip? Been following your channel for quite some time and appreciate your honest feedbacks.

Great videos and talking points. Thanks.

New viewer of your channel. I need to watch all the videos to find out all the trigger words that might inadvertently get me banned from your channel. 😬😂😅

can you recommend any drag grease for UL Reel I can buy in Japan😬 your Nasty grease is not available right now?

I keep coming back to watch this model… soooo tempted to pull the trigger. Kinda want to take a shot at other models too though.

I’ve been watching a lot of your videos on the gekkabijin jig heads and was wondering if you know a place I can still buy the black color way of them I have been searching all around and can’t seem to find them anywhere

very informative video. You lay out all the things that a buyer needs to know prior to, not after the purchase. IMO
thank you

Absolutely love your commentary. Thanks for the Review.

Victor, would you be interested in buying 2 St Croix Legend Elite Panfish rods?? They are 7⁰LF & 6⁹LF, both in great condition, only used a few times. They are selling for $410/each. I would sell both for $500 if you are interested??

Beautiful rod, I will agree the Shimano Soare and Xtune rods are hard to beat. The real finesse are also awesome.

dont wanna be that guy but my zenaq spirado and vanquish 2022 2000C LOOKS 10X BETTER THAND THIS

Also, regarding GLs action rating - from my experience their ratings apply for the action of the rod during the cast and fighting the fish.

You're a bit wrong with joint spigoton these rods, I have 3 GLs in M and SH class with same spigot and use them all the time - they don't show signs of wear. Probably due to blanks being baked in vacuum oven.

Great review bud~

These rods from Russia I think they made in Japan zetrix ARTE 642SUL for $335.27 I seen them on Russia channel fishing for trout the name of tackle shop is mickey’s who carries them

Beautiful rod. Japanese craftsmanship has always impressed me. I’m also not a big fan of EVA foam on any rod. I’m weird, but I only like to use cork handles. I would like to try a carbon or hard plastic rod. They look sleek and smooth. Love that hook keeper on the Shimano.

Hey Victor funny this Rod reminded me of my first ultralight rod that I made myself with a 9' Fenwick Fly Rod 5wt.blank back in 1975. You would have loved the cork handle which I wrapped the reel a Mitchell 308 with 15lb. nylon monofilament then some lacquer. Don't know how many fish it caught but it was alot.Mostly 12" to 16'" Coho Bluebacks. With 2lb. test it was great fun and very tasty fair. A very good memory for me that I thought I would share.

Another great review

I passed on the corto and bought another Evergreen fine sensor xul. Well, it is a solid tip, so you might not like it. I do like it so far.. It is a very fast tip since it is a hybrid or more so ajing type rod. Great informative video. Thank you

love your tackle reviews !!!!!

Have a rod builder or do it yourself, apply some guide thread on that bottom handle and then epoxy it.

So, not only am I into watching you fish, I am also into pens. What was your pointer pen you were using? It looks really sleek. Thanks for your videos as always.

So you kept it? Great in depth review 👍🏻

Good review. Thanks for posting.
