Fisherman tests new reel on girlfriend, with hilarious results: 'I reckon that's a win for the Saltiga'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}That’s quite a catch.
Popular Australian YouTube star Briggsy, known for his fishing footage and rod reviews, released a unique new video that is winning praise with his fans: a battle between his new fishing reel and his girlfriend.
1,400 POUNDS OF DRIED SHARK FINS ESTIMATED TO BE WORTH UP TO $1M SEIZED IN MIAMI
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}On Sunday, Briggsy dropped a nearly 8-minute video of him testing his new “powerful” 2020 Saltiga reel on his girlfriend by tying a fishing line around her backpack and making her run about 330 feet — at full speed — to see if his gear was powerful enough to stop her.
“I’ve always wondered what would happen if I attached my PE 10 set-up to my girlfriend,” Briggsy started the video, before panning to his laughing girlfriend next to him.
The fisherman goes on to explain his girlfriend is 100 pounds, and that, in the water, a fish of that size would be an easy catch. However, on land, Briggsy wants to see how powerful his reel actually is.

“The reel could explode, [my girlfriend] could fall over and smash her face, the rod could blow up,” he quipped.

Briggsy begins laughing and catches up with his girlfriend on the grass.
“I think it’s safe to say that Saltiga won,” he says.

“It was just dragging me back and I felt helpless,” his girlfriend said of the experiment.
