No one explains it as clearly and efficiently as Nat

Its so nice to find a channel that doesnt pad out a video to explain something that takes under 5 minutes. Love the channel

I’m starting fishing again for the first time in over a decade. I’m relearning things and your channel has been a big help. Thank you!!

Just started to dabble in the fishing world this summer. My research led to ugly sticks being a good beginner rod and I just caught my first Smallie on it..

i always recommend ML or Medium set for beginners, i own a fishing tackle shop

Me, my brother, and sister have recently gotten really into fishing and this series has been invaluable to us. Thank you so much!

Hey Nat, I just love all of my St Croix rods, I have 21 of them between my Musky Trolling and Casting rods to my Bass rods. I have Mojo, Premier, Triumph, (both Bass and Musky), Legend Tournament, Victory, Avid and Panfish series rods. They really are the "best rods on earth" in my opinion anyway. They can be a bit costly, however they make up for it in functionality. I caught a 4lb Smallie, and a 6lb Catfish on my 5'6" Light/Fast Panfish rod, it was bent over so far with both of those fish, I thought it was going to break!! It held up just fine though. It was amazing! Thanks for putting out quality informative videos. Keep up the good work, Tight Lines!!

I've watched over 7 videos about fishing, but your video really stands out! Could you please make a beginner-friendly video explaining how to start fishing and how to choose the right fishing rod? Your clear explanations would really help new anglers like me.

2:50 -- Supposedly you can rub a bit of candle wax on the male end of a two piece rod before putting it into the female end.

I heard that this trick increases friction and helps the pieces stay together but I've never tried it.

[dinojuice]

[vorge]

Thank you finally a video that explains this stuff to a novice like me

[s.a.f.]

Finally!! A video that explains all these stinking numbers. Thank you!!

I have about 10 rods. Some real heavy because I do salt water. But I also have some real high-end rods for walleye jigging. I have learned that any rod stuck in a rod holder does not need to be sensitive, so one can go cheaper on those. I like to buy blanks and make my own. Its a real fun hobby.

I finally got my hands on a Poison Ultima.
It is the most amazing rod I have ever owned.
Super sensitive and lightweight.
