Dooood. I just found that lews combo at Walmart and they messed up. It sales for 79.99 it was supposed to be on Sale for 40.00. But they labeled it for 18.99.
I bought 2 and they didn’t care so I went back and got 3 more.
5 rods at 18.99 a piece with a 2 year warranty for another 5 bucks a piece .
Gonna be a great birthday gift for the fishin buddies . Lol
Thanks for opening my eyes to that rod !!

We were just looking at some of our Walmart's selection this past weekend. They have an exclusive Lew's Rod & Reel combo I didn't know about that is actually pretty sharp looking in blaze orange colors! Middle of the pack is where it's at! I know some people have the means and freedom to indulge, but I'd prefer more in the gas tank when towing the 14ft ;)

AND I'm editing this because I opened my mouth before watching and there you are with exactly what I saw.

Ive been working for Walmart in AP for years. I've worked at multiple stores and never once have we stopped anyone from recording like you are doing in this video. We've never had a discussion about it or anything of that nature. The only time I would have a problem is if you were causing a disturbance of some kind. I would absolutely hammer an employee for saying a word to someone for filming if there were no issues while they were doing so.

And as a longtime Walmart employee....get the Walmart app on your phone and scan stuff like crazy in the sporting goods and outdoors areas! You will likely find some incredible deals.

I like your channel.
I know nothing about fishing, my wife, son and I all bought a license and we just need something for every once in a while...and your channel is very relaxed

Hi I’m a beginner and your video is the first I’ve seen when I looked up how to buy fishing rods for beginners. It’ll be my first time to go on a fishing trip next week ☺️

[shawnstl]

All your information is spot on. The only other thing i would add is the Eagle claw 172 piece bass kit. Comes with all the weights, hooks and bobber stops youll need at $15 dollars. I buy several in the winter and maybe use 1 per summer broken down into 2 kits, Bank fishing and kayak.

Got caught without a license about 15 years ago in PA. I had always had a fishing license every year before that and didn't go much. Ended up going camping and had a pole so why not try fishing. Well ended up 2 wardens came up and in the end costed me about $400. Will never ever not spend the $20 some bucks again! Even if I don't go at all that year.

I got caught but luckily he saw me only cast in once with no catch so he just had me leave or purchase a license if I wanted to come back. Went back same day with license lol

[HomesteadOnThePreserve]

Fantastic tutorial and no argument can be made for your choice of keeping it simple yet effective, LOVED IT!
Only thing you missed was a surface lure. Either a top water frog (a JR size) or my pick for beginners, the classic silver sided floating Rapala. Been using (the double and triple treble hook size) floating Rapalas for over 40 years, they are just amazing when twitched like a dying minnow!

Got caught once with no license luckily he was kind enough to tell me go get your license show it to the judge and I’ll have them dismiss the ticket.
Great video as well.

Hey I just looked up best things to get for fishing and your video helped me a lot thank you a lot

[FuckFistingAssosuFFosu]

I havent fished in like 5 years but i went out with my gfs family over the summer and it was awesome but i dont have my own rod, thanks for the guide

[superskarmory]

Thank you for getting straight to the point.

[devondadude]

Great stuff. I've just got back into fishing after over 10 years of being outta the game.

[ahmaadlea]

Going fishing tomorrow. Cant get the $68 one as of yet. I got the $20 Ozark Trail :/. How ever I can get the recommended accessories. I'll return with a review on the rod.

[lowlifeangler]

Awesome video Wendell but, I highly recommend K&E Bass Stopper rigged worms the non weed less ones. My wife has one tied on one of her poles all the time. She caught monsters on those in small waters. No weights, any color, directly to 8lb line, open face. That's her go to. Makes me sick lol

[TonyHookedonVanlife]

Great idea for a video!

My setup -
1) 6'6" medium power fast action spinning rod & reel combo(Wright & McGill) w/10lb PowerPro braid.
2) 6'6" medium heavy fast action baitcasting rod & reel combo(Abu Garcia) w/15-20lb PowerPro braid.

Got a nice backpack, fits 3 Plano 3600 boxes in the main compartment & keep all my soft plastics in another compartment, another one has scissors, pliers, fillet knife, slip floats, walleye spinner rig tying components, etc... Yes, it's stuffed to the gills. 😆 LOL

White Black rod line weights 3 4 5 each round hook total 15 piece

Very good my friend Wendell, unfortunately here in Brazil the products are very expensive, big hug

[soulseeker]

$25 for a fishing license is a steal. Its like $70 in the west coast 😅
