I have not been fishing since I was a teenager. Now that I'm 42 I needed help setting up my new rod. I tried a few videos and they didn't help at all. This guy did a great video. It's short and direct with no random AC/DC music or filler video. Thank You!!!

Finally , a simple, fast and straightforward tutorial . Thank you very much !!

i think i looked at at least four-five videos and didn't understand a thing about lure fishing/fishing in general, until i came across ur videos. thanks!!

I'm a mom who's about to take her two boys fishing for the first time. I haven't fished since my teens so this video was really helpful! Thank you!

I’m 33 years old and I’m going trout river fishing for the first time in my life and I’ve been practicing my casting setting up etc and I enjoy your videos the most. Simplest to see how you’re setting up and you explain everything really well. Keep up the good work!

Haven’t fished in probably 20 years but I need a hobby I can share with my daughters, your easy set up is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you!

I’m 45 and I take my daughter fishing often. This video is great! Awesome job man!

We fished all the time when I was younger, but I never paid enough attention to putting the line on. Lost my dad 5 hears ago and have been wanting to fish so bad. This video was very helpful I'm going to use it once I get a pole!

As a novice who often forgets things your content is very helpful, your instructions are straightforward and easy to grasp for beginners and your tips will no doubt prove useful this weekend, anyway just wanted to say thanks again and you've got a new subscriber

Thankyou man I am 9 and I go to fishing with my father so this video will help me a alot beacuse he is buying me a small sized fishing rod

Took my 2 sons out fishing this morning for the first time. Im glad tovhave come across your video. Nice little refresher. Appreciate it 👍

Really good explanation, going fishing Saturday haven't fished in years

In my time we used a traditional way of fishing using handline but now am 62 yrs old one of my givin to me a fisjing rod and i am buy a reel. am interesting to use a fishing with rod. thank you for sharing this video my friend. watching from philippine island the small island in asia.

I'm about to go to Walmart and buy this stuff . This is my first time!

I appreciate the video. I went fishing as a kid but no one taught me how to do it on my own. This was the biggest help

Thank you for your help, this video really help me. Haven’t gone fishing since I was 11y/o. It’s been 30 years now. Now I want to take my kids to go do outdoor activities like fishing, and your video really help me, and I subscribe your channel for future videos

Love the confidence and explanation of everything. Great teaching brother, well done.

I haven’t been fishing since I was about 12 and now my daughter wants me to take her. Actually, I’ve only ever been once and I caught nothing. So I needed an idiots guide to setting up a rod, and this did the trick. Thanks for making me look less stupid in front of my kid. Idk if you have kids or if you will in the future, but if you do, you can appreciate what a gift it is you’ve given me. Thank you very much.

I went fishing for the first time 2 weeks ago with my co-worker. Caught no fish, sunburned really bad, spent near $200.00 with bait, license, food, gas, hook got me twice, than He had the nerve to buy me a pink fishing rod with lights…. Cute. So I’m here to figure out how to do this….. watched u, and you did such a great job with explaining I may reconsider. Lol

Thank you so much for being so descriptive with the information. I went fishing over a decade with friends and I didn't pay attention to all of these details. Now I want to take my kids fishing and I hard time putting the rods together. I knew I was missing something, and yes, I need to change the weights and add a bobber. We are going back to fresh water fish tomorrow, and we will use real worms. I am so excited. 😊

fast talker but clear and concise. excellent video. Thanks!

Novice Fisherman here, just got my first official rod and reel and other stuff. Second time watching this video. Extremely helpful.

I was happy to see you're also from Missouri based on the boat in the background. My late husband bought this setup for me and needed help so thank you.

Tremendously helpful for a first time angler like me! Thanks a bunch

37 years old, been fishing occasionnaly but never had to set up anything. Finally bought my own gear. This video is great, clear explanations with a close view of the stuff. Never too old to learn, never too young to teach. Thank you, keep doing awesome videos.

Tomorrow is day 1 of my fishing journey. Couldn't be happier I stumbled across this video beforehand. Very informative, and explained in a way even a dummy like me can comprehend. Thanks guys!

You did help 🙌 all the way from Jamaica 🇯🇲

I haven't fished since I was a kid. Now I have a 8 year old son that wants to fish. This video definitely helped. Thanks for sharing this and good job. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Just bought my first rod today. Wanted to thank you for definitely helping!

It was hard for me and my dad, but eventually we decided to watch another video on the knot and finally did it! thanks for everything but the first knot dude.

Zach you’re the man. These are great videos! My only suggestion is slow down just a hair. Sometimes I have to listen to a section 2-3 times. You have so much great info to share. I’m going fishing this week. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Really enjoying and learning from your videos. This is the second one we are watching. All was well, till about 7 1/2 min.... Can not get passed on how to possibly grab a worm, even less, stabbing it and twirling the thing 😮😅... THEN, we watched -How to use a lure video.😅

can you also show a video on what you actually do with the fish you caught? How you handle the fish safely so you don’t get bitten or get stung by their fins or something like that. Or if you release them, how to unhook them from the hook and release them. Or if to cook them, how to properly handle the fish. Like, I am so not an outdoorsy person nor am I very familiar with getting hands on with fish like slicing them or cleaning them then frying or grilling. But I would really love to learn. I bet many others are on the same page too. Maybe?

Dude, mad respect. Best fishing videos on YT, seriously. I learn more every 5 minutes of your video then tons of other videos that go on for 30 mins with not as much value. I hope your still filming

Thanks. I just got started. Something about being in my 30’s….

I used to fish all the time as a kid but haven't really in years. This was a great refresher for me. Awesome info. Thanks brother.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started taking my 5 yesr off to our neighborhood lake and there are fish. And I'm so lost. His father is busy working so I'm trying to do my part and have my son do these kinds of activities. So this was to the point, clean, easy to follow. Thank you!!! Now to get over my fear of worms

Hey Zach! Just want to thank you for this video, and your others. You're a great teacher! Just getting into fishing and youve been so helpful. Happy fishing!🐟🐡🦈

Even tho I'm not a beginner I still like watching your vids

Your videos are so helpful! I love how simple you make it for the beginner like me and you get right to the point! And seeing you actually catching fish with the set up makes me feel hopeful that I can do it! I used to go fishing with my dad when I was young but he set up the poles etc. He passed away and I’ve wanted to start fishing but needed to learn how to set it up to go by myself. Thanks! Can you do a video on how to catch and release and get the hook out of the fish?

I just recently got into fishing. My dad never introduced me to it lol he watches football. I just wanna say, thank you for this video. It helped a lot and I'm ready to go and buy my rod and parts 🙏🏼💪🏼😁

Zack you are an awesome educator! I’ve learned so much from you today. Your style is straight to the point, simple and easy to watch. Thank you and go Chiefs ❤️💛

Thank you so much for making this video. I used to love to go fishing all the time with my Dad and he taught me quite a bit, but that was at least 25 yrs ago. After I bought my daughter and I a couple of rods, tacke

You are great at explanations with a clear voice. Very informative. Thanks

Oh my god you’re a godsend. I’ve learned so damn much, thank you so much!

Im new to fishing and always struggled with tangled lines, your explanation of how to identify and prevent tangled lines is a simple lifesaver honestly. also wtf your arms are ripped and veiny af, do your grip a bass 2 hours a day or what?

Thanks. I thought the string was upside down so I flipped it. Once I had the string almost all the way strung I then noticed how much more tangly it was. Whooops

Awesome video for persons like myself. Thanks a lot. Really concise and informative. Two 👍🏾👍🏾. Have a great day.
