The ONLY 3 Rods You REALLY Need...

I've always said if you can work in the cold you can absolutely fish in it and which would you rather be doing when you can choose. You're doing a great job Mark keep the information coming buddy

[DJsworld]

When I can’t go fishing do to weather most days. I’m on here watching your videos for tips to make me a better fisherman. Keep them videos coming!!!

[buddymccormack]

those are 3 good choices, If I could add a 4th, it would be a 7' to 7'4" MH cranking rod something that can do everything from a squarebill to medium divers, lipless crankbaits, and topwater walking baits.

You got me with the get off the couch line, easy like right there !!!

I really love this video. I have somewhere between 16 and 20 rods now. And a lot of them are really nice combos. But I remember a day not too awful long ago where I really had to mind a budget. I can’t stand videos where they come on and tell you you need to buy high-end rods to be able to fish with. That just isn’t practical for a lot of people. And I also love they get off the couch and go fishing comment. Thanks, Mark.

Great video Mark! It’s hard to go fishing in northern Ohio right now bud 20 degrees out. Have a great holiday season!

Great info. I've gotten used to 7'2" rods, M-MH, for all of my general purpose applications. Ardent makes a really nice and affordable 7'2" MF baitcast rod and Sixgill used to carry a really affordable 7'2" MMF spinning rod. I mostly use these three rods.

Good video man well spoken especially the last part about getting of couch and go fishing lmao. I loved that

[alphazeke]

Thanks for giving the action of each 👀

[johnnyweaver]

Sure do appreciate you for telling about the technics for each rod👍

[Basskingdom]

Glad you made this video! 7ft MH is the best all around rod for me! Can’t wait to see you fish next year on MLF!

[boomboomoutdoors]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos to help us out. I live in the Midwest and spinning rods are the go to!
Keep dropping knowledge 👍

MDJ awesome video as always. Good luck to you in the upcoming year. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family. Much respect from Japan.

Excellent choices..I personally am not good at finesse fishing so I would grab a flipping and pitching rod..the last rod you talked could also be a F&P rod..

[trevorschneiderfishing]

You always be in the comment! Fantastic close out my boy! Tight lines on your upcoming trip!

[jerodjmoore]

Excellent video Mark—it makes it hard for people new (or not new) to the sport to assist with rod choices. My wife feels my “arsenal” is too large (we all know that’s impossible lol)—but your choices were spot on. This time of year and others you can save So much money with clearance and deals and be ready for next year.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Be Blessed!!

[donbarks]

Good vid bro excellent dialing of rod choice

[farrzmd]

Great video. I don’t as much attention to powers as I do actions. I like a 7’0” M / F spinning rod and then for bait caster I’ll go one rod Moderate - Moderate fast (parabolic), I prefer closer to moderate fast. Then the last rod fast action. Rod powers I’ve kinda gotten away from because hook diameter and line diameter have become more important to me since there doesn’t seem to be any consistency between brands in what they consider M, MH, or H. I have H power rods that fish like MHs and MHs that fish like Hs. So I’ve gone to relying on line diameter and type to achieve what I’m looking for. Braid tightens a rod up and mono loosens a rod up, with fluoro being more neutral effect. …. My thought is to find a rod manufacturer you like and then work within their series of rods to find the rod actions your seeking.

Great video, thanks Mark. One thing, what was the action of the 3rd rod? I got the length but never heard (I read the transcript also) the action.
