I used to watch your videos EVERY DAY as a young kid I was absolutely obsessed with fishing my whole life. I actually fell into drugs early on and after awhile they took everything I loved out of my life. I just stopped caring about anything fishing included. I just went for the first time in several years a few days ago and caught some absolutely lunkers. The obsession instantly came back. It’s now the day after and I’m already watching all of Brendan’s videos again😂. I know that got way too deep for the comments section but I can’t express how much this means to me that my joy of what I love came back so much that I’m watching the channel I did as a kid😂 anyways if anyone reads this thank you for getting to the end lol because I wouldn’t have

Nothing makes a day better than a Brendan miller vid

The construction of the rod is super intelligent and creative , great job man!

Your commitment to this set up even after it “broke” was impressive. And Carp are known to be fairly hard fighters, and that one was decent. Great job again!

Once I saw the JB Weld I knew it was getting serious 😂

what a successful DIY rod

Very creative! Excellent video!!!

Imagine pulling up to a bass tournament with this art piece😂

Yes, more please!

You're a graduate of McGuyver's School of Engineering. 😂 Another excellent video Brother.

Incredible video Brendan! You have such a creative mind to be able to make those supplies into a fishing rod!

Good job for making that fishing pole

This is what keeps me watching this channel, super creative and fun. Awesome video man!

I absolutely love these kinds of videos please keep it up!!

Really clever! Thanks a lot!

Yo I love these Ur lure making and rod making vids are the best

Brendan love your videos I’m 72 years old an grew up fishing my first fishing reel was Mitchell 300 I caught every thing on it even sharks and still have about 10 today I believe it was the first spinning reel made❤😊

Very fun video. Was thinking if the line came off the top of the reel it may have casted smother

Love it! More videos like this please

Lol wow 😊that was pretty freeking cool ! Thanks for sharing! Great job 👏

You make it out like this idea was original lol, this has been done by quite a few fishing youtubers, lol.

This was an awesome video! You should do another and see what other reals you can come up with.

That was a great vid brother!! And i think I speek for all of us when i saw we would love to see for video's like this!!

Ur video came up on my fyp, and gotta say man u are putting in the work and made a functional rod outta scratch, lots of clickbaity youtubers out there but was pleasantly surprised with your content. keep up the good work, you got urself a new subscriber ;)

I forgot about this channel I am so happy I found it again this is one of the people that made me love fishing🎉🎉🎉🎉

Dollorama is some of the most fun fishing you can find!! Amazing gear, sometimes even name brands for pocket change, even these comically big crank baits and 18 inch soft plastic 8oz lures!

Cool idea!

For all those who say you have to have a jig pole, cranking pole, flippin stick, frog rod, blah blah blah. Great video ++

Pretty friggin cool man

Nice idea. I would love to see your next crazy idea.

Great vid

Thats awesome congrats on new channel ill have to subscribe. Ps great job on rod build

Right on!!

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 I think you should get a patent on your new COMBO 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

That’s actually really impressive for a homemade Dollar General rod

Didn’t know you were a disc golfer! Excited for that content!

Was Isaiah just sitting there huffing Lacquer thinner?😮

Hello nice to see a new video of yours it's been a long time since you last posted a video nice to see you again Brendan 🎣👍 nice bait cast you should put the eye on the top of the rod it would make it easier to cast

You made my day today great vid

Love your channel

Too cool !

Still landed some! Mission successful!

My dad when a teenager made a rod out of a Tank Aerial he said it worked great 🤗

Welcome back!!!!

Catch a carp on that pole spoke to soon lol .. you ended up fishing for Cape haha😂😂😂

Gotta take it steelhead fishing you made a homemade centerpin reel!

Brendan miller videos are peak, takes me back to 2020

Always a good day when you upload

They could use you at South Bend. That was fun.

Except that the reel is mounted in the wrong place for a fly rod. It needs to be below your hand grip to counterbalance the rod and line during casting. This is important for consistently good line control accuracy & presentation, which are very essential to consistently successful fly fishing. It is the main advantage that fly fishing can have over spin fishing in the hands of a competent fly fisher. I’ll give you points for just trying though.

It's about that time of year :) dg and fishing goes hard.

I’d like to see you catch a sizable fish on an ice fishing rod. Use any lbs test line you want, but catch anything over 5-6lbs on an ice fishing rod.

I play disc golf alot just sub to your channel cant wait to watch the videos

Make more of those videos please

Bro I'm taking you on survivor for sure! Wait we gotta find a Doller General 😂

Make more rod and reels

Drag strength YOU 😂😂😂

you made a DG centerpin!

9:52 but the rod held the carp. 😊

You need to mount the rod on the wall its a real trophy

When are we going to see another fish fight video?and also I'd enjoy seeing another survival scenario vid ☺

Interesting

Awesome video! Very creative! Maybe a new series?? I wasn’t able to see link to new channel though and interested in subscribing!

Thought for sure u were gonna buy a kite, would've had line a spool and potentially use the rod as well

Bad ass finger gash!!

When you were showing the real life, I said to myself congratulations he made a scabla real because that’s basically what that is it free spools has no brakes and no drag , Scarbla real a.k.a. the KP

This is weird … subscribed.

Lesson I learned is... don't hate the player.. hate the game. If you aren't catching fish it's probably not the rod lol

This man built a rod out of garbage and I can’t seem to catch a fish on a 200 dollar set up. 😅

You’d get killed fishing for carp with treble hooks in the UK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

you shoud try google maping bodies of water around you

Doesn’t count because the line and lure didn’t come from DG. Just kidding. Great video.

Why is he just sitting there with a bottle of xylene or something lol.

You should make a fly rod and baicasting rod respond soon thanks

Prob could have bought a rod and reel for what you paid for all that stuff lol

Welcome to how to spend more money building a shitty rod/reel from scratch than just buying a cheap new one.

dont get mad when i bowfish pleco out of diskgolf parks

You ever fish in south eastern ohio? I'd love to take ya anytime I'd even buy ya lunch

Why

While I do appreciate the creativity it took to put this together, I would have preferred to see you make a rod out of foraged and gathered natural materials. I think it's past time we as a society tried to find alternatives to all this cheap plastic crap from China that only ends up polluting the planet.

Post more

HoF engineering.

Not my usual cup of tea, but this is a Brendan Miller video. What commitment.🫡
