Love the way you explain nice slow and thorough… learned a lot…. Appreciate it
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Spinner specifics would be nice
Thank you for this great learning session
I recommend that beginners stay away from baitcasters.
This is really helpful but I just debating if I should do lake or ocean fishing so if someone who is more experienced list some pros and cons that would help
I started with an expensive Shimano bait casting reel as a newbie because that is what pros use, for me it was a big mistake, I spent a lot of time fixing "bird nests" urrrggg! The more I pull on the nest the worst it tightens, it was not a good idea for ME to start with that as a rookie. It got worse when I tried to replace the line with a different pound test line yet another cluster F. If you ever want to discourage your wife's newbie relatives from ever bugging you again to go bass fishing, let them use a bait casting combo the first time, they'll never ask again lol
Is it ok that my rod is a bait caster that's 6.5 feet because im only 12?
can I put a casting reel on a spinning rod?
Just commenting to help with the algorithm, nice series!
I learned baitcaster on the first look
I use open faced
good god $200 man, im out here with my $20 pfleuger spinning combo rolls eyes
Appreciated the baitcasting rod info!! 6 weeks of fishing here and counting. Subscribed!
Right on! thanks for making these videos
I finally found answers here. Thank you much.
What is the baitcaster rell
I ordered kastking baite cast reel 8kg maximum drag 9 plus one bearing setup pls I request u .. if u don't mind pls u r choice which rod is best this fishing reel please explane
I prefer both but I just got my bait caster so I’m super use to the spinning
This is informative as hell
Lol if you're a beginner do NOT get a baitcaster lmao I just got one and the learning curve is real
I have a really good spinning rod. Can I use that or would you recommend I go out to get a casting rod combo?
bait casters are a lot more exspeive then spinning rod/reel
As a Saltwater fisherman, I use bait casters all the time. when your casting using the bait caster. Please keep your finger on the line. It will save you time. Especially when your line is out and it gets hit while you have a massive birds nest in the reel.
What is the aunty reverse purpose and used for on the spinning reel just to go forward and background
I totally disagree with getting a bait caster as a beginner. I would recommend a spinning setup for a beginner. Yes, you can buy combos for $20-30 at Walmart and places, but I would recommend saving a bit more and buying a much better quality spinning combo in the $60-80 range. I personally recommend a Pfluger President combo. You can usually find a Pfluger reel and Cabela's or Bass Pro rod combo for around $60-70 and it is a combo you can use for multiple different species (everything from panfish, walleye, bass, and even catfish) and will last you for years.
The idea of spending $200 on a combo for a beginner is flat out stupid. I've been fishing for years, and never spent more than $80 on a combo. Buy a decent combo, and save the money to buy different lures.
Is quantum octane a name brand
Captain obvious
idk about u guys but my $50 walmart combos last me years
Dude try starting with an overview of why they are different and what they are for. No one cares much about the vocabulary if they're trying to learn to fish.
Why didn’t he go more in-depth on the spinning reels? Kinda disappointed.
I still use a spincast and it does a great job catching fish.
where's your standard button push rod at that most beginners would start with?
I like your vids. Informative and straight to the point. Very clear and and descriptive. Thank u
Get a black max at Walmart
