As a kayak fisherman less is more a 7' MH baitcasting combo and 6'6 M spinning combo really simplifies life on the water and makes you focus on actually fishing

Another good feature of concentrating on the specs of the equipment, aside from brand choice, is it will apply to everyone’s price point. While I also like the $100 range for rods or reels, if I come across a nice deal, or decide I deserve to splurge on a particular rod/reel, knowing what I want for length, strength, action, or reel retrieval ratio are still the key factors in making each purchase.

You give useful, practical, informative advice that can apply to everyone. A lot of times folks who do tournaments are recommending equipment based on where they’re at, instead of where their viewers are at. That’s never a problem with your recommendations. Many thanks for that. 👍👊🏻

Sup. You nailed it. I am 49 and disabled. This year broke my budget on 3 combos. 2 baitcasting and 1 spinning, decided it's time. I still have some dedicated spinning combos, 1 dropshot, 1 frog, 1 live bait. And now my new ones. Still have many more but some of the grandkids are ready to upgrade to spinning combos. Yes I started family young at 15. But everything you said makes me more confident in my new purchases. Ty tc

I actually have 3 baitcaster rods and 3 or 4 spinning rods. What you presented here not only helps people new to fishing, but also gives confidence to those of us who appear to be doing the right things with the equipment we have. It’s always good to listen carefully and learn from professionals, whatever the field they are in.

I have been studying bass fishing for just over 4 years now( yes on YT, YES I take notes. I guess that makes me a googan of sorts.) And I have wondered all that time up to this minute trying to figure out what the deal was on rods❗️Bless you Ty, you have finally explained it so I could understand! Gobs of thanks to you for this new 🔥🔥🔥🔥vid. Thanks for keeping us girls and guys under your wing. If I was still traveling to Pittsburgh a couple of times a year, I’d slip over to Ohio and buy you dinner!! If you’re ever near the coast of NC, give me a holler and I’ll make good on it.

Your the man. First time I've heard about rod selection based on hook type. This makes perfect sense. Nice one Ty .

[Tacklemaniac]

Great info!
I personally use a baitcaster for everything.
Even down to finesse.
I use the Shimano 150 MGL with a 7’1” medium/medium light, fast action rod for all of my Ned, wacky, Neko, etc.
Having the right equipment is key!
(If and only if your budget allows!)
Just my two cents!

As someone on a pretty tight budget I would definitely agree with this list, I like what you said it depends where you live and fish, I was gonna say something about that but you mentioned it already. Also, people don't always realize you can have 2-3 different reels with different types of line and switch them on the rods, case in point, in most areas, I personally think a medium power fast action rod is insanely versatile. You can slap some copolymer or mono line and you instantly have a great cranking rod, than throw a different reel on with braid or flouro and have a spinnerbait or jig rod. Cool video man

Used to think it was my inability to catch anything but catfish. All I have is MH Fast action baitcast rods. That's what's available around my residence in NY. So no we I'm using my spinning rod for my jerk baits. With what you're saying, I need to revamp my rods. Thanks for your advice. Also thanks to the first 3-5 people who left comments.

I think the top three to start with if possible are:
1. Medium moderate 7ft casting combo
2. Medium heavy fast 7ft
3. Medium or medium lite 7ft spinning combo with 3000 thousand rod
These will cover everything from finnesse fishing to your topwater fishing to Medium flipping, pitching jigging IMHO also it I based on your fishing style and what you like throwing. Obviously it's also based on your personal location and lakes and ponds maybe river/streams your fishing as well. If you have areas with more structure and snags these setups may need to be upgraded a class or two and if you have areas with not so much stricter or vegitation then you can go possibly lighter. But awsome video and very informative to help at some kind of starting point.

[DynamoMan-jscy]

As a Floridian myself I got to say that all you need in Florida is 2 rods. 6.5ft heavy for flipping and punching and a 7ft medium fast for your all around fishing

[nathanhammond]

From Ohio near Lake Erie and wanted to say I love the videos and can’t wait for more. You have helped me in Florida territory with fishing!! OH!

[robertdtimmerman]

***Took the plunge and ordered a Bruin 7.3:1 reel. I will let you know my thoughts after I use it a few times***

[Oldbasshole]

Solid advice for people just getting started ! For years I had just 3 rods and just learned to make it work . You can use the medium heavy rod for everything just use mono when throwing treble hook baits, that stretch helps when fighting those fish . Great video as always

[marcaustin]

Finally. I've been waitin for someone to make this video!!! Tks brother

[emoutdoors]

Could you do a video on specifically targeting big bass, such a lure selection and starting areas of a lake / season? Thanks!

[mylesbuck]

Solid advice in under 10 minutes - thank you sir!
