5 ROD/REEL COMBOS for Kayak Bass Fishing

[@matthewvang7719]

I called my brother "hey pick up a pack of the GREG BLANCHARD beer" and he knew exactly what I meant lol

[@GregBlanchardFishing]

LOL! That's awesome. Baits are yours! Just send me a message on IG (gregblanchard17) and I'll ship the goods to you. Cheers!

[@trd4x429]

Miss this video but congrats to my Hmong brother on winning them baits! Hey Grey loved your channel and thank for all the awesome videos. Stay safe out there bro :)

[@kimberlysmith1588]

Way to go new someone had to win greg thinking about making a youtube vid channel it's close to my birthday and I am probably getting the Vibe Shearwater 123 peadle drive maybe if I get famous we can fish a tournament the lake I am near has a tournament every Tuesday

[@tigerclaw277]

I'm in Oregon, and sierra nevada distributes here! They're one of my favorite breweries. That hazy IPA he has there I have in my fridge currently. Greg knows his stuff, not just angling. Tight lines.

[@calvinhandy3969]

Nice to see you using a left-handed baitcaster I thought I was the only one who fished left hand retrieve

[@jasonmolle2857]

Saturday is Wisconsin opener can’t wait to take out my new kayak. Enough watching Greg catch all the fish😀

[@jamesbearden1890]

I like the top water set up. I use a shorter rod for it too they just feel more versatile and better to get those pinpoint cast and flips

[@shawnnaylor482]

They will be greatly appreciated north of the border in Quebec Canada. Been watching you for a long time and appreciate all the content that you put out the good the bad and the in and out

[@upstateangler9575]

That's one thing I struggle with is simplifying my Arsenal. Last year I wanted to tie 12 rods up and I'd fish three of them this year I've been focusing on trying to keep it to 7 or less every time. Love those Corrado's hope all is well

[@jasonmeat7975]

Just want to say thanks for the straight up fishing videos, I enjoy all the other ones but love to watch your good and bad days! Thanks again for the entertainment! Tight lines brother!

[@lukepousson6487]

Great video as always. I like how simple you keep everything. One tackle drawer and one bag of plastics.

[@1pcallejo75]

I'm a firm believer in the glass chatterbait rod! Great content as usual my friend!

[@travislampton1410]

I’ve only recently started watching your videos. Have to say this has become one of my favorite channels. I find myself cheering you on during your tournaments! You have helped me recall my love for fishing and inspired me to purchase a kayak! Keep it up bro!! Side note: nice IPA choice..

[@joeledesma4309]

I just stared fishing and really enjoy watching your videos. I'm learning alot as to what baits to throw when and where. I just need to up my tackle box game with the right equipment. My brother and I bought an inflatable boat and your kayak videos have been super helpful. Keep up the good work bro.

[@lowellknapp6073]

Thanks for the videos! Getting ready to hit Lake George, NY and rewatching your videos from last year. Hope my son and I can catch’em like you did!

[@petermark5323]

You're dominating my rod reel setups. I only have two but at least I matched your number of broken guides. I could really use some new tackle too. Most of mine are over 20 years old. Sigh.

[@mikemason4792]

Great info. I carry 4 rods. One is a spinning rod. I weight the time of year and the conditions to determine my lure selection. Please keeps making these informative videos. Thank you.

[@ryanlachance3525]

I fell for the ned rig last year early on in the season and hammered Pre-spawn smallies for a second place tourney finish. Hard to deny its effectiveness. Great info in this video, keep it up brotha!

[@basschaser9356]

Awesome video Greg. You got it spot on with throwing a chatterbait on a glass rod . I use a dobyns champion 736cb glass and have notice less fish loss . Can't wait for your next upload

[@_bassadd1ct_]

I'm fishing the bank (in the market for a yak rn) but i've also been finding myself bringing less gear because when i go to certain places there's just a ton of stuff i know i will not throw, especially on the grassy bodies of water up here in norcal. Saves my back from the weight of my tackle and its just easier to carry around 3-4 rods instead of 6

[@kdot2427]

If you're looking for a new spinning rod, I could see the Expride or Zodias fitting well into your arsenal.

[@Abe_Sinclair]

Don't have a kayak and I don't care! I always end up accidently learning something so ya, I'm just going to watch any video Greg uploads until the end of time. 😎

[@kaleojohnson1964]

After watching your videos I always find my self making my way to fish the delta the next day

[@hardtner]

I’ve learned a ton from your videos over the last year. In fact, I caught a 4 pounder just 12 hours ago using the same bait and in the exact location on a lake that was featured in one of your videos...in East Texas. I had never fished that spot until I saw your video,but now I don’t pass by there without making a cast. Keep posting the great content.

[@jamfishtaco4852]

Love your channel. Don’t change your style for popularity. ✌🏼

[@kanson8]

Great video. Maybe try swapping out one of those Curado K’s for a Curado DC. Amazing reel, big game changer.

[@owenventura7090]

I just started kayak fish and I love it. I’ve been a sub for a while but your videos really made me want the kayak. Love the videos and the content

[@zoommaster7253]

Love all your videos always find great information on them. Your the reason I bought a kayak last year. Great fun way to fish with kids especially during this pandemic. Thank you mike from ct

[@terrytabor4466]

Great video as usual. I really enjoy your video style, showing the good, the bad, and the ugly!

[@JFeliciano71]

Thanks for making this video Greg! I remember asking you about your spinning set up in the past and I’ve seen many other people curious about your rod/reel combos. I’m in Massachusetts and it’s just starting to get nicer out so I’m hoping to get on some fish soon.

[@HouseHusbandAdv]

Personally picked baits by Blanchard boasting the best baits for busting beasts....thank you sir for potentially doubling my lures 👍🏼

[@jamescanady3442]

Greg, this literally couldn't have been better timing! I was picking out my first few baitcaster setups last night, but couldn't quite decide exactly what I wanted, so I figured that I'd make my decision today. And then, bam! Upon checking my favorite channels on KZbin this morning, this posted! Thanks you for taking the time to do this! It's helped more than I can say!

[@matthewwebb2709]

Nice combos, it’s nice to see what you use to be able to get an idea for what rods are best for kayak anglers. I have a few video requests: 1) do you use braid to leader? And if so or if not why? I know chad Hoover does a lot and I just am wondering what are the upsides to it all. 2) I have been really getting into using the paddle tailed swim baits with an under spin lately, do you have any tips for that? 3) it would be cool to see you do a video for budget kayak tips and tricks or mods, I have a pretty nice budget kayak, and I have been loving going out in it but my biggest challenge is getting myself in position to fish, I’m constantly fighting the wind. I have an anchor trolley and a 1.5 lb anchor but I still get blown around a lot. If you had any tips for beginners that would be awesome

[@brj07]

I look forward to your new content every week. Thanks for the hard work you put in. Great videos.

[@J_pearce01]

Thanks for showing off the arsenal. I was considering picking up a heavy rod for from but I have a MH that’s doing the job fine for now so I’ll hold off. Keep posting the quality content brotha

[@brantleymyers4324]

Love the videos I been enjoying your content for about 3 years now! You have helped me grow as angler especially for tournament fishing🤘🏻 tight lines🎣

[@bmiller8255]

Thank you as always for the video Greg. It gives us something to look forward to. Fish or no fish. It would be amazing to get a surprise from you Sir!! Cheers to ya!!

[@christianofishing2626]

Awesome video Greg! Have been kayak fishing for 3 years now and you are a big reason for me starting kayak fishing competitively this year. Keep it up man. Also I've been trying to acquire that IPA appreciation but needs some work. Any suggestions, from Westchester, NY so not that many breweries nearby.

[@chernandez7306]

Awesome detail in your rod and reel description above. Would you mind simplifying rods 1-5 as M, MH, OR H. thanks in advance.

[@pedrocarrillo5902]

Man I watched your video! and now I'm on the way to go fishing 🎣 what a day 😆

[@jasonriede6056]

It really seems to help landing fish with a shorter rod in the kayak one of my favorite rods to throw is a 5-6 pistol grip by all Star you never see anybody throwing pistol grips

[@wingman015]

Interesting you have a dedicated chatterbait rod. I think I’ve caught 2 fish on the chatterbait. I seem to do better with a plain ole jig with a trailer. I’m in the for the drawing. Thanks!

[@ianyokoro8925]

Solid choice of arsenal for any body of water!✊

[@gustavoperez4341]

thank you for all your videos and explanations during all your trips.

[@fishingwithjakea2433]

Love the videos I always carry 7-8 rods for tournaments fishing

[@michaelyoung4733]

Another great video. Trying to gear down after buying a Slayer 10 this year. Perfect timing!

[@SwoleDadddyV]

Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to update and replace some set ups. You've definitely given me some food for thought.

[@nancybrennemann2203]

Thank you for this video. It’s very helpful. I’m waiting for my fishing kayak to arrive and can’t wait to try some of your set ups!

[@DaDlife3030]

Been a huge fan since you had 14k subs, been a fun journey watching you grow and I finally got my first yak ever last month! Pescador pilot and I love it, from being a tournament co angler on bass boats to start fishing tournaments out of my yak making my own path in this bass community you have been a positive influence goin into my 3rd year bass fishing. Keep it up brah!

[@stevemondragon805]

I have learned so much by watching your videos! Thanks and keep those videos coming!

[@BODSMayhemHour]

Great channel. Watching you Greg has got me back into fishing and I'm very excited about it.

[@kao6095]

Thanks for the rod/reel combo breakdown. Good info for beginners like me.

[@Flyingkingkong]

Love the curado k as well! They are one hell of a reel! Keep the videos coming, always waiting on those awesome content!

[@keepingitreel7976]

Great content as always, love how you always put the baits and tackle you use in the description. Hence why I finally was able to order some of those big bite war mouth baits because you finally linked them in the last bed fishing video haha can’t wait to dangle some of them in a bass’s face

[@timdehart6852]

Fairly new kayak fisherman, even though I am 65 years old. I think I may be in the ark et for a bait caster. I currently use left handed spinning rod even though I am right handed. I noticed all of your rods you presented are also left handed except the frog. Can you share with me the reasoning behind that? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It motivates me to go out and pursue nature and angling. Mr. Tim

[@Murdafornia]

Don’t have much to say but great video content every time keeps me informed while at work lol

[@chris_2413]

very interested to hear that you use a big glass rod for chatterbaits, i might have to try it out.

[@jeffniebanck6387]

Great vid as usual! Good insensitive to downsize a bit! I always got my titan full of stuff I don’t use. Have to make a plan and stick to it more often!

[@prestonsan1803]

Wish ya would of said all of the weight ranges of each rod like you did for the 3/8-1oz rod but it was great information.

[@jakerinaldi4766]

Curado K is sick

[@mseibel2355]

I appreciate all the details. Your videos are very motivational. Thanks!

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Great video as usual Greg !! Good Luck ! And we’ll be fishing after tomorrow here in Illinois !

[@karlyoung4376]

Great video thanks for saying what pound line

[@benbowen8991]

Wish they still made those Denali rods man. Love all the videos though!

[@Xiktil]

Greg, thank you for making these videos. Watching you inspires me to keep grinding even on the toughest days.

[@tengthor1424]

Thanks for the breakdown and as always awesome content. You inspired me a lot and to keep fishing, appreciate your tips and tricks.

[@iamresta]

You’re like that kayak version of tacticalbassin for me lol nice set up too! Going to focus on glide baits this year and the combo I’ll be using is a 7’6 heavy expride rod with a curado k. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@jimhuibregtse]

Love the videos Greg, love your passion and excitement!

[@andrewbanno886]

Love the vids man! A true kayak angler who knows how to fish and grinds everyday to catch em. Keep it up!

[@joshuarussell4803]

Nice vid on the set ups. I am a big fan of the short frog rod as well.

[@samanthakue3439]

Awesome videos!!! I’ve learned so much from you. Really starting to love kayak fishing.

[@kvn826]

Watching you kill it on the delta after I get dogged is always a soul crusher lately

[@vernhypheno]

Greg awesome stuff and a ton of info as always. How about a knot segment or plastic bait rigging options or preferences?

[@chuckwise010]

Thanks for the hard work! Keep it up. I got the titan because of you and its the best kayak out there!

[@TimSpencerFishing]

Watching in central New York. Keep up the great videos.

[@cbreeden15]

Really glad I found your channel, really enjoying the videos!

[@jaecubed592]

Nice job Greg! I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say we appreciate you as well! Keep up the great work and God Bless!

[@njhatchetmanmcl]

That’s was really helpful thanks I been thinking about getting a Kayak what one would be good for a beginner

[@DNaruo]

thanks for the video, most of my rod and reel combo's are 10+ years old so it's good to know what I might be wanting to look out for. I started Kayak fishing last summer around the bay area and it's been great. I haven't been out of the house really for the last few months as I have been needing surgery on a fractured left rotator cuff and it doesn't really qualify as a "emergency" procedure during this shelter in place. Your videos have been helping me keep tabs on how the local water ways are doing with the bite. One thing I've been really trying to learn from your vids is how to chatterbait fish. Now that i know you use a glass rod I think that will help. I was thinking of getting a shimano SLX DC real as my next upgrade. Do you have much experience with the "DC" reals? Thanks for the frequent uploads and hit me up if you want to fish the Alameda rock wall for some halibut.

[@unolove]

Awesome arsenal!! Watching your kayak videos are so much fun making me want to get a kayak. But my apt is too small. Lol. Thanks for your videos!! 🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@markbridenbeck1030]

I love haze ipa bro

[@richaikens8695]

"Thank you Sir" as always thanks for the videos and thanks for all the knowledge you drop on us.. I always look forward to learning something new everytime I watch one of your videos.. THANK YOU SIR!!!!

[@georgem245]

I always enjoy watching your videos thanks for the great content!

[@NFiltr8Red]

3 for me 1. St. Croix legend Xtreme/ Stella FJ3000 2. Daiwa Steez AGS/Daiwa exist 3000 3. 2020 Legend Xtreme/ Daiwa CT SV Quality over quantity even when you don’t catch anything, just cranking the reels is fun.

[@edwardgalena7385]

Hey, love your videos! You have mentioned your new fishing crate. I am looking at changing mine up. Can you show us how your new one is set up? I am looking for something about that size. I usually only go out with 2-3 rods. Thanks! Keep up the great content!

[@thebeardedsportsman]

Thanks for the info very informative as I just started in Kayak fishing.

[@larrylee3047]

Your awesome watching your video got me in to kayak fishing keep up the good work

[@kevsgonefishing]

Love your videos Greg! I’ve learned a lot from you. Chatter bait how to video???

[@caesaraguirre1850]

I bet I can catch some of our fresh water redfish out here in San Antonio with some of those baits forsure

[@naiaevang2954]

Cant wait for more tournament vids!

[@edrudder2148]

good vid for a beginner 65 year old kayak fisherman

[@Agile47509chicken]

Good stuff Greg! I’m doing my first kayak tourney in May (unless it gets cancelled). Your videos have been invaluable as I get ready for it.

[@gzimmer0]

Need to get on the Sierra Wild Thing Sours. Appreciate the content, especially during quarantine

[@kenghawj4]

I might not win but could you do a close up on the box and a run down on what they are so I can get it for my yak as well?

[@rodneyhunt]

Bam! Nice video as always Greg. Keep at it!

[@chrislo9101]

Nice set ups and thanks for the advice

[@JESSEPAVON]

Great video Sr. Keep them coming. Cheers.

[@tlashley]

Good stuff as always, Greg. I’ve enjoyed the channel for years! Keep up the good work 🎣

[@tattoo291981]

Nice setups and as always enjoy the videos

[@Dmartin1128]

Great Video Greg!! I always wanted to ask why do you use left handed casting reels for some techniques and then right handed for others?

[@shawnschrader2907]

Greg I have such a hard time picking between my rid/reel combos,cuz I built everyone of them with a purpose and they are all dialed in.

[@vangboi91]

Thanks for thd setup infos! I actually have the curado k too and i love it...

[@carlosflores4018]

Thank you for the video and keep them going.
