Finally something I can show my wife so she can understand why i need 5 more rods

Personally, I think you can throw anything you literally want to.

When I started bass fishing I fished thick cover like lillypads and grass mats with a medium action spinning rod with a 4000 size Pfluger president and 50 lb braid and that worked fine for me, granted getting fish out was a bit harder, but if you know what you're doing you can do just about anything with a spinning rod

I think the underlying theme here is choosing the right rod/reel to make sure you can 1) tell when you have a bite and 2) land the fish. Anyone that has fished a jig on a spinning rod back before they ever bought their first bait caster I'm sure can attest to that! Thanks man - good info to share

“Don’t be a doof and stop throwing an Alabama rig on 8lb mono” I love it 😂😂😂

[deepintheheartoftx]

This was fascinating and such good info. I kind of wish I had a visual flow chart which would help me choose the correct rod with the line choices and then all the lure choices. It can be so confusing. Great info Professor Anderson! Love the channel!!

I’ve been casual fishing all my life and I’ve only ever used spincast until this year and most of my life I’ve always only every caught pan fish because when I would try for bass it would just never happen. Your channel has definitely helped my with the do’s and donts and has even helped me catch my PB Largemouth this year!! Shoutout to you!!

In my experience bass anglin i noticed that the spinning reel is ideal in flight in moment sight fishing wheras baitcasters are definitely the ideal bass rod for overall bass fishing. The reason being that spinning reels always make a slack in the line after casting. I hate that. Also sometimes if youre not careful and cast hard not moving your finger in time you could snap your lure off. Bye bye $8+. Another big issue with spinning reels is line coiling upon casting which makes the cast inefficient. In order to maximize efficiency with the spinning reel is you need to use braid which requires a fluorocarbon leader because braid is visible. That means a big dent in the persons wallet. A baitcaster with monofilament takes care of all those issues. 1 picks up line quick and no slack. 2 no pressure on line to cast the lure. 3 long distance efficient casts. You can get so profficient with the baitcaster you dont have to thumb it. I never do. Hopefully these tips opened the eyes to some anglers out there. God bless.

This is my new favorite channel. I love the Tactical Bassin guys and Flukemaster but am really enjoying your content. Your videos are extremely well produced, very informative, and well balanced between education and entertainment. It is amazing how many comments you respond to as well. Keep up the good work.

I get what you’re saying, however when your on a budget and can’t get just any rod/reel, you have to get what you can. I feel so much more comfortable with a spinning rod however I just bought a casting rod and taught myself how to use it. So here’s the question - On a budget which three rods/reels would you suggest for all the fishing applications along with line?

I work at Cabela's and I have customers who are new to fishing who buy light action spinning combos and ask me if a 2oz punching jig would be good to throw and catch big fish. I always chuckle a little bit because I think it's cute. Now I have a video I can direct my customers in the fishing department to why that's not a good idea! I I love when they buy a pflueger trout combo and ask me if a huge musky crankbait is going to work well on the water... I always chuckle because it's funny! It's a reminder also that people are not as informed as me in bass fishing, and I need that reality check when working there. Another one that gets to me when working is the guy who says he is a seasoned bass angler and catches huge "donkeys" all the time but doesn't know what a Texas rig is....

[CasualBassGuy]

They’re some great med. heavy spinning rods that are pretty stiff for those who like spinning strictly. But I agree 100% with everything you said. The line diameter is the most common thing I see

Tyler, you’re an educator! Your “handle” should be “The Professor.”
I’m returning to fishing after years off due to my job. In a fit of irony, my return to fishing is from the symptom of why I departed; time and sanity. I now clearly understand how very little I know about bass fishing! That’s a powerful thing to understand.

You’re clearly one of the most intelligent and experienced YouTube Anglers. As now my trusted professor, I’ve binge watched most of your videos and Lew’s is certainly the beneficiary of your quality videos as I’ve recently spent a small fortune. They’re certainly smart for sponsoring you!

Brother, I think you need one of 2 things. Either 1, you need a “cube chart” that can help us match conditions (season, open water vs grass, water temp, weather), to bait to match line, rod, and reel combos.
Or, second, and what I recommend - and Lew’s would be smart to pay for this- you need an App of your own that Anglers can go through a series of “if - then” questions to vector then into the chart you’d need anyway from the first to make that happen. You can patent this ($$$). Since I downloaded BassForecast at your recommendation, maybe matching up with them, since they’ve got the conditions.
Maybe an option in the app is they build their profile and input their rod, reel, and line combos and the output is the bait based on the conditions I previously stated. Sponsors brands can sponsor that ($$$).

PS. Great proposal video. I don’t know how or why the heck I got sucked into that video but after binge watching everything I felt I not only knew you but owed it to you! Keep it up! Life is good! You got a great thing going! Bright skies ahead for you!

[frogassassin]

My brother has this really stiff spinning rod with like a catfish reel and I would throw a jig on it🤣

[AccessoriestheTime]

Really great info man. Awesome stuff. My friend laughed at me when I brought my 6’’6 Daiwa Med fast action spinning rod with and Ardent bolt 2000reel, bassin with a 1/4 ounce bullet head weight, pinned, with a 3/O worm hook and pink 4 inch twirl tail I wouldn’t be able to hang. Today we caught a three pounder and a 4.8 and a 3.7 all on the same worm and never having to change up. Truly if you understand your equipment you can really start to hook up on those big girls!

[jjeantette]

Dude... You rock... I use heavier gear for pike and muskie and I was always having issues with lure weights line weights and how to cast and use them properly. You just taught me so much in this video about how I should be using my stuff. I really appreciate it man I'm actually buying my first bait caster and it's going to help me out so much with utilizing all of my lures and what rod I should be using for each lure. Thanks man and keep it up! You rock brother!

[Army_Outdoors_N]

This is super informative bro. I do notice difference when i mix and match and you explained this so well. Keep it up bro!!

[michaelholt]

I have been bass fishing for almost 40 years and nobody has ever shown me why you needed a baitcaster. Many have tried but then I do everything they do but use a spinning reel. I love catching fish while they untangle line.

[osvaldoumana]

I need to watch this one many many head is spinning with all the for your time Tyler!!!!

[aarondavis]

I'm either bank fishing or on someone's boat so I can't carry tons of rods. I can get everything done with 4 rods. ML fast spinning, MH fast spinning, MH Fast magnum casting, MH moderate casting. That covers most bases I could use a flipping stick but the MH magnum can be used if the vegetation isn't too thick
