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

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.

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzfaq.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

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!!

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

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzfaq.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

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!

You are the man bud so nice to see you showing folks what’s up I try to always show others what to and what not too do or throw there’s so many elements to fishing 🎣 keep up the good work kind sir

Tyler lately you've been really killing it. Your video topics have been on point. My girl step dad recently started fishing I teach him some stuff, and send a link to your channel and told him watch this guy will show you everything. So far I know he's watch how to hook up every soft plastic and how to fish every soft plastic. You have the best video on that subject.

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!

Thank you so much for this info. I’m trying to absorb all the info on this channel. I’m in my mid 40’s and getting into fishing again. I live in central Texas and there are plenty of places to fish and it seems overwhelming to learn how to fish effectively with all the variables. It’s spring and it’s the best time here.

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

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 KZfaq 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!

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

YES! This is what i have been needing! A good explanation on this. Love your channel Tyler! Keep up the great content!

Awesome! The double uni is what I lost yesterday but it was one of those that I should have just retied... My thoughts on keeping fish from jumping is to turn the rod so that it runs parallel to the water and keep my tip down. Not sure if that does anything just something I do.

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.

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

I need to watch this one many many times......my head is spinning with all the info......thank for your time Tyler!!!!

Relatively new to fishing and always appreciate these videos. Excellent information and you do an awesome job of explaining! Keep up the great videos so I can keep snagging those bass this summer.

You have helped me so much learning to fish as a new comer more then any other channel here on youtube! thank you very much for the videos

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!!

Going out this evening for a couple of days. So many things to think of. Gotta go back and rewatch while I'm hooking up my poles.

Older video but ran across your channel with my boys. We love the content and information you out out. My 9 yr old and me have been watching and learning. I haven’t been into fishing in 20 yrs. So we have been working and learning together. Please keep the fishing videos, tricks and tips coming.

Here we go, another great video. This dude is on fire🔥

Great video. Excellent explanation for anyone from beginners to novices

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

Super helpful, I have been wanting to purchase some bait casting set ups but was tentative because of my lack of knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing.

Not sure why this popped up on my feed I already knew all of this. But man...you explained everything perfectly, and kudos for keeping your power and action terminology correct. That shit gets on my nerves much when people confuse the two.

I haven’t fished in years but I started getting back into it and these videos help a lot my man, thank you!

I have found the most versatile set up needed ...2 rods a EDIT a 7' medium heavy baitcaster 6.6:1 inception and a 6'6" medium light spinning rod with a decent reel...this is all I need for anything and everything ((but I'm a bank fisherman sometimes kayak)) Now the problem does come when my baitcaster is stuck w 20 lb flouro and I wish it was 14 and vice versa w the spinning rod I want 8lb test etc ... but these situations are rare and I can get by fine w tying different leaders....

Been watching you every night for 2 weeks. I bought a rod, went fishing, used a swim jig and caught a 4 lb. here in a little lake in Orlando Florida. Learned it from you brother! God bless

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

Love the content! Would love more on lure choices for both though would be wicked cool 😎

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

This was so helpful man, i love your videos kee it up!

Just started fishing after finding your channel during the covid. You have been an inspiration and not just about fishing! Bought a Kayak and a 4 rods (all used) and would like to see a video on the 4 combos and what should be tied on to each that I should have on the Kayak. Keep up the good work!

Love the vids as always, thanks for sharing your knowledge Tyler

A lot of great information. A stick string and hook can also get it done. Well thats all I had when I caught my first fish

So Tyler.....in the future could you give us a break down of what to throw on spinning and on casting rods as well as what rods types and sizes work best for what type of fishing we're doing??? I love the channel brother👍. Your knowledge is unparalleled!!!!

Very well thought out and needed video for us newer generation fishermen or women. There is a lot of thought and figuring involved that I am learning this year. So thanks for this

This video is exactly what I need thank you Tyler

Thanks, Tyler! I was just looking for a video on this topic last night!

I have that same popper and I've bird nested my bait caster trying to cast it. So I switched to throwing it on the spinning rod. Thanks for telling this to people

And I thought I knew what I was doing using my bait caster for my top water poppers.. 😂 really appreciate the information! I will now be taking a good look at what rods I have and what I need to possibly buy!

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

I have a question. I just bought my first bait caster. I’m using braid. It it a good idea or not to use a swivel with a clip for faster changes of baits. Thanks

very nice tips for something that is often overlooked by alot of people.

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?

This might be the best video I’ve ever seen for bass fishing info he knows so much and he explains it perfectly great video! I’ve been doing a lot Wrong until I watched this

As usual, another great video!! Could you please recommend 2-3 rods/reels for midwest pond fishing that we should start out with?

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 sooooo 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....

Great video. I have 2 rods. Med bait caster for catfish/ bass. Ultralight spinning for Crappie to bluegills. Best advice bait caster for heavy lures and line winches with ill regard. I’ve caught 10Lb cats on an ultralight 5” rod 6lb test 😂. Not sure I call it fun but it requires patience and finesse. It’s actually fun 😂

Great video I see people fishing giant lures on spinning rods all the time haha.

What should I throw on a 7’2’’ medium heavy fast action spinning rod with a lure weight of 1/4-1oz and a line rating of 10-30lb?

Great video topic. Definitely one to watch multiple times.

what kind of rod and reel do i need for fishing in a low flowing river that would match what kind of lure i am using. I use a soft plastic craw with Carolina rig so it drags on the rocks

I used three different ones power medium, medium heavy, heavy rod fast action on and tree. The -moderate action didn't work out for me very good last year. But got all new this year very happy even in cheeper combo.

Most underrated fishing youtuber out there. Tyler's videos are amazing.

I’ve learned a lot from your videos even when u don’t teach . just an idea all the rods and reels u show it to us in the water and the type of water and like how to fish and u title the video the certain rode and line type and make it like a series

Thank you for this video!!! Finally it all makes sense

This is great info! I wish someone would put together a series loaded with videos JUST like this. Starting from the differences in all rods/reels and their use, then cover each aspect of fishing and gear. This would be AWESOME to send to my son so he could watch it from the beginning and learn how to be an Angler. Because I dont know shit lol

This a video a lot more people need to watch 😂 had a buddy throw a deep diver on a spinning reel recently 🤦🏽‍♂️

Yea i had to learn this the hard way, i snapped a brand new jig off first cast on my spinning rod with 6lb test 😅

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you

What are some tips you got for northern MN bass fishing? I usually fish smaller rivers and ponds with clearer water lots of rocks and sand. Anything you’d recommend?

What should i use for skipping wacky rigs and weightless texas rigs under docks? Right now I use a 7'0 medium, fast action spinning rod, but docks are heavy cover and fish can wrap me in them.

You teach a lot man thanks ive been fishing since i was like 4 but ive always been fishing with like 30 lb braid on a spinning rod

i just started fishing during the quarantine, i was exploring new hobbies and fell in love with bass fishing. Im ashamed to say i still have a zeb 33 rod with a abu black max that i slapped on there. i just got my first spinning combo tho and this video helped so much!! And yes i am one of those guys that goes way over line limits for the zeb 33 lmao its rated like 5-10 and i throw between 10 lb mono and 30 lb braid constantly, im hoping to get a new baitcasting rod soon tho.

Literally the video I’ve been wanting him to make and finally it’s here. Very helpful video 🤙🏽

Glide baits r good with 15 to 25 pound braid I catch big ones in that on a 7”0 rod

Hey Tyler I have a baitcaster and a spinning rod and I have been wondering what line to put on them, what do you think I should put on them? Should I put Braid on my baitcaster and mono on my spinner?

Thanks for the video ive been down today i tried to apply for bass fishing team i am a freshmen in highschool but i cant do fishing team because i dont have a boat and the people who are boat captins are full i wish but the video cheered me up soo im a lil better

Hey Tyler! Your content has been super helpful for the past few weeks as I’ve gotten to learn more about bass fishing. I’m curious as to what you would recommend that I buy next. I have a medium heavy casting combo and a medium light spinning combo. What should I be looking for next to maybe cover more techniques? Love your content, and God Bless!

Just have to thank you friend, I have watched so many of your videos, I feel like we are friends lol. I finally caught my first bass, I actually got 3 beautiful LMB and I have a decent long spinning rod, 30lb braid to about 8ft of 12lb fluro and with a football jig but the best part was everyone there transferred over to try and catch bass with wacky rigs, top waters etc but I was the only one reeling them in. Appreciate all your videos

Awesome and informative. Much appreciated!!

I honestly learned so much from this video and changed my thinking on what i wanna throw

I told all this to my wife before I saw this video and showed this to her recently, she still thinks the 8 I have are too much. I usually only take 3-5 when bank fishing but one thing I try to do is make those rods versatile. Also I keep in mind what kind of fishing I am going for and I can always return to the car to switch out rods as the day moves on. Just bought a new one for chatterbait and spinnerbait fishing thay can also do other lures. Made that purchase after researching what kind of rod to get from your specific videos 😁 keep up the good work here 🤙🏻 P.s. can we get an updated spinnerbaits tip video? Go down the rabbit hole a bit 👍🏻

Not sure if you’ve made a video about this already but for weekend warriors what would you suggest if you only had 1 spinning rod and 1 bait caster ( length and weight)

Can i use 28 gm spoon lure with baitcasting reel kastking royal legent 2 and also recommend brided line in lb

Wow...I have learned so much in 5 minutes!! Thank you!!

Great to the point content! Thank you

Love the explanation of the why you use what you use and the difference between the rods but honestly didn't really explain the differences from using the reels, I've always used spinning rods and want to understand the hype over baitcasters because I have no issue running a little heavier of line on the spinning, I just make sure the weight of the lure or bait isn't unbalancing the rod, and you can get rods rated exactly the same but one's a spinning and ones a baitcaster

Great videos, its like watching the hoffman tactical of fishing lol

Damn now I gotta buy another rod! 😅 I just bought my first rod. I got a Dobyns Sierra 704sf with a daiwa exceler, and I’m IN LOVE with it, badass Texas rig combo. Now I’m researching for a good all around bait caster setup, mostly for football jigs and the like

if you were to pick five lures and take on a trip what would they be

Do you have or can you make a video about lines selection fir different bass applications. Braid vs mono vs flouro, leader or no leader. Thanks fir everything you do.

What's your take on BFS bass fishing as a substitute for using spinning setups Tyler?

This helps me out so much!! Thank you!!

Well done I truly believe that any young man can benefit from your advice on rod's and reels. Almost slow enough 😅🤣🤣🤣

Now a button rod is to be treated like a spinning rod in function as far as lures go .... Generally light weight and finesse use for bass fishing btw i hate using spinning rods but i use 1 just for insane light weight drop shots with a live worm on it for the Louisiana summer

Whats the beat combo should I buy for beginners, fishing at local lake in austin texas

I never learned how to throw a bait caster. I found a way to cheat when it comes to throwing big glides on spinning gear. 8’6” xxh fast action Muskie rod rated for up to 16oz lures. Paired with the fastest spinning reel made. It’s like 7.2.1 I believe. 30lb carbon drag. It seems to have plenty of power and speed as It has handled a few 5 and 6 lb bass easily.

a baitcaster is not only more comfortable, accurate and has more feedback than a spinning rod but also much more fun and rewarding. baitcasters feel like the rod and reel are one piece with only the reel handle being the other because you can simply press a button to release your spool while a spinning rod feels like 3 different things being the rod, bail arm and reel handle all being awkward to use and recast once you upgarde to a baitcaster you never go back

So here's the thing I really got into fishing and I got a rod a spinning reel some line etc. And now I need a lure my friend keep saying get a frog or a popper what's your opinion?

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.

🤯lots to learn! lol! Thanks!

I have the tp1 black bait caster and I love it. I wanted to get the spinning version for lighter stuff but from what I can tell it has the same micro guides as the bait caster and even my FG knot catches on them. Any spinning rod (preferably Lews) suggestions for someone who plans to always fish braid to leader?

A lot of really good information here Tyler, I enjoyed the video. Although I must say I was looking over at my Dobyns Champion 705SF repeatedly during the video and saying to myself, I can throw pretty much all of that (maybe not the big glide bait). Could you actually tell me why I shouldn't? I am very interested if you have the time to respond.

Thanks this was really helpful
