What To Look For When Buying a Fishing Rod and Reel.

Looking for a new fishing rod and fishing reel? These are things you should be looking at before deciding on a fishing rod/reel combo. You should strive to pick a rod/reel that best suits your style of fishing. Some fishing rods are more versatile than others, while others are very specialized for a particular type of fishing.

Every group needs a short Vietnamese guy.

The way he spazed out when the fish came off had me laughing so hard! 😂😂

Reeling and/or pulling from the side gives the fish the best opportunity to break free. If you watch, on probably 99% of youtube videos where people lose big fish, they're reeling and/or pulling with their rod horizontal. If you keep your rod tip pointed at the sky, you have a much better chance of landing it. Of course, a little bit of side action is sometimes needed to guide them, but overall perfectly vertical is ideal.

All thumbs up for Senko Mike!

Because of you I use...

Sharky 3 baitfeeder 5000 with uglystik gx2 for freshwater carp ect.

Sharky 3 GOLD 4000 with Blackhawk 2 telescopic mh & h for on the move beach/pier fishing. Keep things light.

Kastking perigree 2 mh with kastking speed demon 3000 for pike/lure fishing.

... even started making my own salty squid 😂

I got several combo's, like many among us, but my favorite rod of now is

Rod: Japanese (!!!) Jatsui Black Eagle Seabass Elite 5-20gr (PE 0.6 - 1.2), 240cm, fast action. The tackleshop brought it with them when they visited Japan last year. :) Yay me. :)
Mainline: Shimano Invisitec 30/100
Leader: usually none, except when shore or pier fishing at the beach. Then I'll attach a 50/100 fluorcarbon, otherwise the rocks, crabs and mussels will be ripping the mainline apart in no time
Reel: depends on the waters I'm fishing on, but usually it's a 2500 or 3000 Arca. At the beach I'll use my 4000 one, due to the heavy waves we have here.
Lures: anything goes on this rod, as long it's under 20gr.

Cheers from Belgium!

Shimano Twin Power 4000 on a St. Croix 7.6 med action is my all-around. I saved all year for this reel and it hasn't disappointed.

Excellent Video AND interesting commentary. For me my current favorite "general" fresh water setup is a Lews TLC2000 on a Halo Starlite 6' 6" medium rod. I really like the reel and its faster 6.2: 1 gear ration and absolutely love the weight and action of that Halo rod. Best $50 bucks I ever spent on fishing gear. My other fresh water combo is a Ducket Dfgg70m-s 7ft Medium rod and Daiwa DG1500 reel. I have a bunch to choose from and when I use spinner baits, the Lew's gets the job every time, and everything else the slower Daiwa. In the summer I fish daily and the Lews / Halo is on its third season. I've tried others and bought others...but it still gets the job more often than not. For Brackish/Salt I have a Kast King Sharky 2 4000 series Baitfeeder on a 8ft Daiwa Rod...and a Shimano 4000 Symetry on a Daiwa 9ft "medium/heavy" rod. They are ok..looking for something better...both are on the block. Symetry has lasted..just don't like it.

Rod action and strength rating are different. The location bend is the action and the amount of bend is the strength rating. For most applications a moderate fast action rod in a medium or medium heavy is best.

My main setup for inshore fishing is a 7-foot medium action rod, rated for 10-25 grams (3/8-7/8 oz for you Americans) and paired with a Shimano Sedona 2500, with 20-lb. braid and 30-lb. fluoro shock leader. This setup I use for lure fishing, especially with artificial shrimp like VUDU, etc. Perfect for Barramundi, Mangrove Jack and some Groupers/Rock Cod.

My favorite setup that I have is a 7 ft. Med. Light power, fast action St. Croix Legend Extreme paired up with Shimano Stradic Ci4 3000 size reel spooled up with 10 pound Power Pro Braided line. Cast a country mile with that rod and hooked up on some nice size bass with that and even got onto some great size snook with that same setup.

Me and my wife just caught a 43in crayville jack down here in Texas using your tips. Thanks man . 2 weeks ago we didn’t know anything lol

leevigarza

Rod- Daiwa crossfire 7ft (light)
Reel- shimano sedona 4000xg
Line- 22 pound braided line
I use this setup for inshore fishing and for casting, it can hold any inshore fish easily. Caught needlefish, barracuda and jack fish.

Love this one, such good vibes going on between you all. Sometimes I worry you guys might be pissing off your dad a bit with all your joking and then you see his smile
