Took my son fishing today and I pulled out my walking lure... my son asked me if I had a mono leader. (I use mono leader for my walk lures) I asked "why do you ask?" He told me because Mr. Evers says it keeps the nose from dipping because it floats. Just wanted to let you know that you are reaching our youths. Total awesomeness.

Such a great and Humble Guy and not yelling at us saying you NEED half a dozen Rods and 200 hundred dollar Reels and I truly thank you for the great Intel on the Pro Qualifier etc.. I’ve heard it’s an amazing Reel. Stay safe my Friend Semper Fidelis

[jessecooper]

I gotta hand it to Edwin, he kicked some serious tail using that pro qualifier series from Bass Pro Shops! Great video and so many can learn so much from you!

Edwin, i just subscribed to your channel yesterday and cannot watch enough of your videos. Awesome channel and your advice will work perfectly here on South Africa as well. Very warm summer ahead and the fishing is going to be brilliant. As a teacher i have more than a month holiday so the bank and small boat will be my best friends until the wife starts complaining...GREAT channel again, Bud. One of the best i follow (up there with flukemaster, trf and of course Roland Martin).

Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of fishing and gear with all of us avid average Anglers. Best personality among your peers. When I am down on my success and feeling defeated I can watch you and feed off your enthusiasm and joy of fishing. Keep the great videos Edwin.

[wilmerpruitt]

With colder weather coming, hope you do a video on Pitchin' a Jig and Craw to hard structure, presentation, subtle entry into the water etc. Thanks, I appreciate your efforts in putting this all together.

[TackleJunky]

Sweet video man! I'm a big promoter of the pro qualifier reel on my channel as well. Hard to beat for the price! 👊💪

[ricktreon]

I picked up two 7’-4” MH fast favorite rods a month ago and love them for top water. One thing I struggle with is pitching, nothing really too helpful on the actual motion on utube. The first mistake I made was trying to use #12 mono. I’m probably not the only one out there. Keep it up great videos.

[MrJohnB-qsdp]

Thanks for those tips, Edwin!!!!👊🏻 Use the BPS Pro Qualifier and have no problem. They're my main reel! Stay Safe & God Bless!!

[MrLapin-LL]

The more I watch your videos, to more I appreciate you! You are such... a great genuine guy. No BS, simple, real, etc AND great (awesome) bass fisherman. Where do I sign in for the fan club? Lol!
Continue to post on your channel, it's gold!
Ok, now a question: It's September, nights are getting cold (I'm North of the border...), days are still nice but cooler. What are the 3 techniques I must carry with me right now. Yes, they are a lot more depending of the conditions but name 3 that MUST be in my boat no matter what. 3 "go to", 3 "no brainer" when the temperature is starting to drop (leafs are still green, no colors yet).

Edwin you and Ott are my favorite fishermen and I loved that video of you guys fishing together.

[KevinF]

I love the old pro qualifier, I have had it for over 20 years and it it still works great. My favorite reel is a Curado DC, and I have a bunch of Curado 200s.

[mikegardiner]

Awesome vid Edwin. And yes, I’m more a spinning guy, but I have 6 baitcasters too. And for the rcd, the good ole BPS Qualifier is most consistent and reliable. Lol

[jaw]

Ordered one of the Pro Qualifiers this morning. I already have three and have found them to be very reliable.

[rustyscopano]

What an awesome video. I never thought about using a mono leader to my walking baits but I will do it next week when I am going to FL to fish.

[ibanez]

3:38...there's a creature in your vicinity...;)

[matthuff]

Awesome informative video! Lots of people think they have to have the most expensive equipment out there. Good Stuff!!!

[onebadshad]

Great info, I’m right there with you on where to save a little bit of money in a setup. 👍

[jamiehartzell]

E great information it helps in determining when I buy rods.

[boosteddave]

I thought I was the only one.. stuk to the bass pro qualifier and the jhony Morris version. Haha 😄 I love the way they work and feel. Super smooth. Compared to other brands out there . Big fan of the abu garcia. Have a couple. But my go to is the qualifier. 💪
