A Lew's Combo for $10? Cheap Walmart Combo Fishing Challenge!

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

Lew's? More like Lose.

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@heathicusmaximus8170]

"you heard me right, Lew's"

[@anthonychen9143]

lmao

[@crosshannon4094]

Realistic Fishing looks like a decent rod and reel i wish they sold them where i was from i deffinetly could catch a bunch of fish on it

[@gabrielrenteria8256]

Hahahah

[@gabgal68]

I have fished all my life, but always with live or natural baits. I decided when I turned 50 that I wanted to learn something new. I bought the Premier baitcaster from Academy and found your video on using the reel. I have been watching you for several months, learning lure techniques for bass. I caught my first bass on a splitshot rigged, tequila sunrise, curltail worm (1 dollar at Wally World) on Tuesday evening! Thanks so much for the tutorials and great, realistic videos.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats awesome!

[@BassGeek]

Maybe it was just the line. Give it one more shot with your favorite line.

[@RealisticFishing]

The softness of the rod digs the hooks into all of the little snags. I like that stiff rod tip to pop it free before it can dig in. The guides are also too small and the line bunches up at the first guide causing wind knots and tangles. I might get a cheap Chinese pen rod to compare though...

[@johnfahrlender2277]

this line was inferior to begin with and has been on too long and has memory. if you switch the line its worth $9 all day long

[@ohiobigdipper1]

I love my little sob it works

[@lehmusic2675]

I have one also. Don't like the rod. I did put 6lb Ominflex on it and with different rod it's not bad

[@RGPFishing]

I love pre spooled reels such high quality line😂😂

[@RealisticFishing]

This is one of the worst 😂

[@yote5.0boost]

4:04 I’ve never laughed so hard in my life 😂😂

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@92sadventure71]

This is still relevant past, present and future 🤣

[@lojofishing]

bargain of a lifetime

[@RealisticFishing]

A good deal on a Brand Name turd 😂

[@matthewkilpatrick5437]

The reel is ok. But they put way too much line on it. You might have better luck with it if you try putting it on a different rod and your own line on it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Of course I could make it better by replacing parts with better ones. This is a realistic review straight out of the box 😂

[@firefighter4free]

lojo.fishing I disagree my friend, they have always been junk, a three piece traveler would be a much better option but the quality of experience goes down every time you add the word "piece" and tanks every time you use the word telescopic🦎👑🐟

[@bigmoemedina313]

I respectfully disagree, I have nothing but 2 PIECE rods in my arsenal cause i Drive a small car, they’re very reliable and quite expensive as well. Also have this Zebco Telescopic rod i paid $25 for it and its a couple years old now never had any issues, Caught several 3-4lbs with it. It’s the one i keep in my car as a travel rod.

[@traviskillian276]

I started watching your videos about a month ago, as I've got back into fishing. This video is the definition of a day if fishing where everything just goes wrong. So damn frustrating! Showed my 6yo son this video, and he could stop laughing at catching someone's line.

[@foxxxy51]

Even after snagging some old line , having some trouble with the line and reel and getting snagged up you still kept pushing on and landed a nice bass man!!! Awesome stuff

[@RealisticFishing]

Skill can overpower crappy tools, if you try hard enough 👍

[@Winkiedoodles]

RF, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at your experience. The good news is that you are one persistent angler and battled your way through all the issues with your combo and finally got a nice bass. I think your bass was probably closer to a pound and 3/4 by the way... It has been my experience that the line is the weakest link on almost all the inexpensive, pre-spooled rod/reel outfits regardless of brand. They are usually spooled with some 10-12 pound goat rope and need a better quality 6-8 lb maximum line size. Best wishes, Don

[@RealisticFishing]

Either reaction would have been appropriate 😂

[@FoReelFishin]

I have this same pole. Hell I use it for my panfish! It's a great little rod. Even hooked trout on it!

[@RealisticFishing]

I guess I am just used to that $60 combo quality 😂

[@Shawnbadger916]

Ive had the same $10 4' Shakespeare collapsible combo for going on 20 years now and its always been my favorite and never leaves my truck and has seen more fish than any thing ive owned. Use good line and lube it from time to time and cheap stuff can last as long as the expensive stuff

[@RealisticFishing]

It might last but the action and sensitivity will still suck. Its a novelty fishing item 😉

[@Shawnbadger916]

That one may be yea looked like a a half inch or more at the base kinda reminded me of a radio antennae more than a fishing rod

[@honkeykong85]

Man,that was a real nail biter! 😂. Amazing perseverance,alex! For 9 bucks I may grab one to toss in my storage hatch in my hatchback for random panfish encounters lmao. “Emergency fishing kit”

[@RealisticFishing]

It might work for that. Just be ready for some tangles if you use the complimentary line.

[@honkeykong85]

Realistic Fishing oh,you have shown me that this line must be replaced. I nabbed a few spools of that zebco line you use,I bet the 4 lb would be choice 👌

[@ivancano915]

Walmart has Ugly Stick GX2 spinning combos for $15 right now. 6'6" Medium

[@RealisticFishing]

Sounds like a good deal 👍

[@GetOutTheHouseGoFish]

Omg one of the funniest 😂 videos I’ve seen in a while. Went through the exact same issues when I got the $10 ugly stick spinner combo and that line they had on it. I finally got so frustrated with the line coiling off and getting caught under the drag tension knob I took it off and put braid on it.

[@RealisticFishing]

I never had it get under the drag knob, that was just crazy 😂

[@DevinDFishing]

“I f***ing did it!!!!!!” Yes you did. That was a tough fish to capture right there. Real piece of crap 😂😂😂 hey, worth a shot for that price. Great video man gotta say ya made me laugh on this one. Fish on

[@RealisticFishing]

It was a battle, but I was happy to come out victorious 👍

[@chonhzilla]

This video is hilarious because it is probably the most realistic fishing video I have seen. Lol. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 subscribed

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Chonh!

[@tybyrnside9313]

I love it when he cusses and gets mad 😂

[@RealisticFishing]

(*&% 😂

[@jake_thomas9104]

Agreed

[@jamiee8952]

Got that same setup at Wally World down in FL on sale for $15 for my son. Wally World in Northeast TN charges $20, you got an awesome deal. He's had his almost a year and has caught several carp over 15 lbs and it's held up. We did put some PLine on though, mono it came with was troublesome. I will be replacing drag washers this weekend, lol. Love your videos.

[@RealisticFishing]

He is doing better on it than I am 😅

[@jamiee8952]

We've been doing a lot of light tackle carp fishing lately. This past weekend he fought a 13 pounder for what seemed to be about 20 minutes before we got it in the net, lol.

[@kevinpeppel4331]

We appreciate your persistence Alex. Not many people would have put up with that crappy gear so you could prove that it would work in a pinch. It's a shame that a lot of stuff these days just gets a product label stuck to it with absolutely no quality control. Thanks for sticking with the tough fishing, and equipment issues to do your product review.

[@RealisticFishing]

Great comment! Thanks Kevn

[@DinsmoreOutdoors]

when you hooked that line you sounded just like me in my last video where i found the seagull tangled up. Also thanks again for checking out our webcast sunday night!

[@RealisticFishing]

It was fun. The stream, not the line catching. 👍

[@kent7525]

Gotta love realistic fishing, great vid as always, you show what is real, what we all go thru, the good and the bad. I love the cheap combo vids 😁👍congrats on 19k subs brother. Ken

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Ken 👍

[@freedomforever45]

I also bought one on sale. Great use so far from mine. I'm a die hard lews fan for the prices u pay. I leave this combo w light bass tackle in the vehicle jic I am out and and need to test a new spot before returning w real gear. Excellent Video.

[@RealisticFishing]

I will stick to the Lews Speed Spin 2-piece combo.

[@ReelinwithJ]

That's very realistic brother! Some fishermen tried using that but they go on stock ponds which is not challenging. Just change the line , nice vid and keep posting.

[@RealisticFishing]

Feels like the line would be worth more than the combo 😅

[@ReelinwithJ]

Hahaha from where you are maybe. Alberta Canada has this Dollar store where they sell fishing lures and lines for 5$...

[@joshbryant4995]

It don't get any more realistic than that! Enjoyed seeing I'm not the only one with days like that. Lol

[@RealisticFishing]

Keep it Realistic 👍

[@beaud3035]

Your frustration definitely made this video funny as hell!! Sorry, but it was hilarious! Great channel!!

[@getitgotitgood6459]

Love your videos realistic fishing would not miss them for nothing . U had me Laughing 😆 through the whole video about this $9 Lew’s fishing rod

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks 😂

[@StixHD]

Dude good video! I bought this combo like 4 months ago to make a video and it's still in the package. I'm gonna dread trying to catch something on it now. lol.

[@RealisticFishing]

If you feel like wasting line, it might help to take all of the pre-spooled line off and refill it.

[@Saiga76239]

That’s a combo to keep in the old golf bag. I always see bass on the course and wish I had my rod. Telescoping... perfect!

[@RealisticFishing]

Just keep your eye on that spool. It gets a little tangled up 😅

[@mckmh07167]

Way more patience than me. Once that line spooked off I probably would have snapped that pole in half. Great job grinding it out.

[@RealisticFishing]

😂 I was getting close

[@mckmh07167]

Realistic Fishing 👍🏻

[@McCoy4837]

This was awesome! Completely Realistic! I love your resilience. It looked like it sucked, but I’m going to get one to see if I have the same level of volition as you to catch a fish on it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Good luck. I am sure it will be interesting 👍

[@JReedOutdoors]

$9 combo sounds like a sandwich with fries and slaw! I can’t believe somebody wasn’t mowing today.

[@RealisticFishing]

I would have rather has a sandwich and fries 😀

[@eatmelily]

That's one of those little combos you pick up when you are on vacation, and find you are close to some good fishing areas. When you are all done, you just leave it behind for someone else, LOL. Can't tell you how many of those "Popeils Pocket fisherman" I used to find that people left behind out of frustration. Someone, would probably be thrilled to find it.....

[@RealisticFishing]

Its in the back of my car just in case....

[@dylanhoff7548]

This has gotta be the best fishing video I've seen in a good while😂

[@RealisticFishing]

Sweet! 😀

[@michaelmesser4555]

I'm glad you bought that rod and reel. I been thinking about buying one for weeks.

[@RealisticFishing]

I might pass on it 😉

[@jasonluera5058]

Man that one took some friggin work brother! Nice fish on that lil ol fishin pole tho. Lovin the videos! Tight lines

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks for watching Jason 👍

[@asatruteacher]

Bought the $10 Shakespeare version of this at Wal-Mart. (non-telescoping rod) Had some similar problems with the line snarling at first, but once I got it unwound enough to fly smoothly, had no other problems. Doesn't handle a hook and redworm (live) real well, but for artificial rigs, I can't complain. Even went back and bought another one after my wife broke the tip off the first rod.

[@RealisticFishing]

Well, you''ll never get good on one, but if you're having fun, thats what matters,.

[@riderd.l.5261]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who will use a trip to the store for the wife to get some fishing deals, but you also got out fishing too! Um. while she's waiting patiently at home for her stuff.

[@dnacash]

The whole rod jumped on the bite! Now that is a light action rod. I never use the line that is prespooled. You're not sure how long it's been on there or sometimes what lb test it is. Nice bass Alex!

[@RealisticFishing]

Out of the box review on this one. I give it 2 out of 10 stars

[@danedwards3015]

Agreed. Bought a Zebco Delta with 10lb line. Lost 4 fish. Checked the line strength, broke at 2lbs.

[@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029]

That loop might have happened because it was overlooked. I bought a Shakespeare combo a while back and it did that crap every other cast. After cutting some line off it stopped doing it. So now when I get a combo that's pre-spooled, I'll trim 40 or so yards worth off it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Even after removing that line it was getting tangled under the drag knob. I have never seen that before.

[@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029]

Realistic Fishing ah, well just a bonafide fish turd then Eh? In that case, I'm not buying that it is really a lews product. Maybe they did make it, but it dang sure couldn't have been off their main production line.

[@RealisticFishing]

I really hope they didn't make this.

[@lolmetswhathappeneduhhh2029]

Realistic Fishing surely to goodness not. Lews has always been high quality stuff. To see a dud like that from them would be quite shocking.

[@deepiper6529]

I've seen those at the Wal Mart here and I actually considered buying one. After seeing this video, nah I don''t think so. Thank you for keeping it real Alex.

[@RealisticFishing]

Save that $ 👍

[@ram6879]

I’ve been dying watching this video 😂

[@RealisticFishing]

👍👍

[@fishing4happiness610]

Thanks for these reviews... it helps me direct newbies on where to research and get buying tips!

[@RealisticFishing]

👍

[@kyliesteinbrook1883]

I've bought 2 reels from wish. A little spinning reel and a bass reel. Haven't gotten to use the bass reel much, but the 4 dollar spinning reel is now my go to crappie reel. First week, all i had were those stinking birdnests, but after i put it on a good rod, and spooled some good line on it, and a nice oiling, it is great.

[@RealisticFishing]

To get it to work properly by adding a good rod and good line... thats like putting a Cadillac on old tires.

[@kyliesteinbrook1883]

Lol. Too true, my friend. ☺

[@Milqychunks]

I also bought this rod. Haven’t been able to use it. But from what I’ve seen from other youtubers, the rod holds up. I think you had a rough morning for sure though. I agree that Lews probably slapped their brand on there.

[@RealisticFishing]

Its a "pen rod" which has been around on Ali Express for years. Its a shame that Lew's Would put their name on this thing.

[@dougyanez1710]

My friend was using this combo recently. Caught a small redfish and speck and catfish with it, but the rod tip is splintering and he had lots of the same problems you had with the spool not holding line well until I changed the line for him. It's a good rod for kids, I think.

[@TheFishingExperience916]

I love the commentating you got me rolling on the ground

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@kevintebo3736]

That was great. Oh my God I'm still laughing

[@RealisticFishing]

😀

[@hookindemlipz8183]

Nice work man positivity can be what makes or breaks your fishing trip! Glad you caught one!

[@scottie706]

I haven't laughed so hard watching a KZbin video in a long time

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@HeavyMetalMagnet]

Got Him! It didn't look bad, the colors were hip but I know what you're talking about when you say it feels cheap! I can't stand that feeling cause you know shits about to break. Great vid dude, at least there wasn't a shit ton of trash all over the ground!

[@RealisticFishing]

Not yet 😅

[@snakehype]

I bought a combo from walmart once and i learned no matter how good the rod looks, you have to lube up the reel, replace the line and make sure the reel is secured on the rod. i do that with the little toy kids rods for when my nephews go with me.

[@RealisticFishing]

Sound like a lot of work to put into a $9 fishing pole.

[@snakehype]

So True....that's why I let my drunk buddies use it when they don't bring their own... :)

[@Flurgh]

Love the persistence. Hell of a struggle with that telescoping rod. Haven’t been able to get out because of work.

[@RealisticFishing]

I hope you get a break soon 👍

[@Flurgh]

Realistic Fishing - Monday is my break & I’m setting up my bicycle fishing rig so I can do my favorite outdoor things together. I’m super excited about it!

[@stevenbrown7042]

Sorry for leaving my line in the water. I was trying to catch the Loch Ness monster.

[@brandenc0241]

I learned the hard way with a spinning reel and rod combo that was pre-spooled with line on it that I bought for my daughter that they put really cheap line on pre-spooled combos any brand. It got completely tangled in a ball and I had to completely take that line off and re-spool it with some good quality line that I use on my reels.

[@RealisticFishing]

I was hoping a Lew's would work straight out of the box. Not quite 😉

[@frankguerra3314]

Glad u didn't give up,last night I caught a three foot gar with a 6 dollar micro rod from top batter app

[@RealisticFishing]

Sometimes you just have to make it work 👍

[@frankguerra3314]

that's right keep it rolling...

[@ComicalChaos12]

make sure when you buy spinning reels you turn the switch on to stop the reel from spinning freely. gf bought a new rod and reel the other day and we forgot and it caused ALOT of line tangles and unspooling.

[@TattedBison]

I had the same problem with my dock demon the first few times I took it out. The line wouldn’t stop tangling or spinning off the reel. I decided to take like 6 feet off of the reel and have had zero problems since. I feel like they spun on too much heavy line on for such a tiny spinning reel lol

[@RealisticFishing]

They might have 👍

[@MrDoaner]

Late to the video buddy sorry...But I Have to say at the 7:30 mark I was waiting to see if you was going to launch that combo into the lake!! Great video and it payed off to stick with it!

[@RealisticFishing]

I felt like it 😂

[@Poffer021]

Tough start but good ending glad you got one can't beat the price you paid for the combo might not be the best but you didn't break the bank on it!

[@RealisticFishing]

It was worth a shot. Now that I know what it is, I will find its equivalent from China and try that too.

[@j.t.cooper2963]

I bought a cheap Chinese, $7.50 ultra light spinning reel off of eBay and it's better than the 25.00 reels at Walmart. 12 ball bearings. I put it on my Shakespeare micro series rod after the reel it came with shit out on me. Awesome little combo now.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

Finally tried the Poor Man Drop Shot for perch. Worked like a charm got my kids hooked!

[@edgargonzalezorozco1299]

I got 2 of those combos one for each of my kids respooled with 10lb. Braid I like them I use them when checking out new spots like golf courses n stuff cought some decent fish on them

[@RealisticFishing]

Of course its possible. But is it a good rig? Not really.

[@bigmoemedina313]

This was so entertaining to watch!! Never heard you cussing so much, it was hilarious!! What a piece of crap that thing was!! Now that was Realistic Fishing!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Moe 👍

[@miguelbanuelos5151]

I wonder if some Zebco 4# line would make a differnce, or any new line for that matter. Way to see the challenge thru!!!

[@RealisticFishing]

Maybe, but I would still be snapping off every snag with 4#

[@petel8559]

Hahaha how good is fishing, isn't it fun to start a day $10 down but finish the day $50 lighter after lunch, fuel, lost tackle and a fishing permit. But leaving with all those memories of one fish and a million frustrations LOVE IT aaaaah yeah 😂😂😂

[@RealisticFishing]

Thats right! 👍

[@azscout9071]

Fun stuff. I picked up the famous realistic $15 combo at my local wally world for 10 the other day. Glad I never paid the 20 for the telescoping one.

[@RealisticFishing]

Good call, this is kind of crappy.

[@BadgerBlogger]

That's a good kind of Rod to stuff in a backpack or an emergency kit, but I'd definitely go buy a decent ultralight reel with good line.

[@RealisticFishing]

I might try it again one day with different line 👍

[@TheMasterCaster]

Finally caught back up on your videos lol. School sucks

[@RealisticFishing]

Ahh yes, the conformity machine...

[@IntrepidFisherman]

SSSsssooo you are saying that wouldn't be good for my next shark rig? haha... great video dude.

[@RealisticFishing]

It might be if you want to let it get pulled into the water 😅

[@FisherxTLO]

They over filled the spool

[@RealisticFishing]

Why would Lews over fill a spool?

[@FisherxTLO]

Realistic Fishing because it's walmart

[@RealisticFishing]

walmart didnt fill the spool... Lews Did.

[@roboCaim]

I've had trouble with reels that come with line already on them as well. I think the line just gets too much memory in it from sitting on the spool for so long.

[@RealisticFishing]

I would prefer they leave it empty if its going to perform so poorly. 👍

[@fee8255]

I love it when your line got knotted up. About spit my coffee out of my mouth. So reminds me of me two days ago. What is this shit? LMAO

[@jessballs8509]

This is the first video of have seen on this channel and I love it

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Jess. I hope you enjoy the channel 👍

[@firefighter4free]

Sorry I haven't been active, I've been golfing in GA for 6 days, fun review. In 43 years of fishing, prob. 12 telescope set ups always suckered into the idea, all have had almost exact results. Keep one in your survival pack if your a prepper, but kids buy a combo that works, I own plenty that were $20 and still use Today. Enjoy yourself, don't frustrate yourself. Premier advice Alex🦎👑🐟

[@RealisticFishing]

Frustration is enjoyable in its own way 😉

[@firefighter4free]

I'll just let that one be😉🦎👑🐟

[@stevedimond267]

It's always good to not skunk out. Good stuff.

[@RealisticFishing]

I was glad to get this over with by catching a fish 👍

[@caydenthompson1878]

Finally another right handed reeler.

[@RealisticFishing]

😂

[@potatosalad6524]

What kind of action camera are you using?

[@RealisticFishing]

Kodak PixPro SP1

[@BassRangerOutdoors]

Way to put the $9 deal to the test!! Frustrating but rewarded, way to stay patient!! LOL

[@RealisticFishing]

"When you are going through hell, keep going" 👍

[@HopskysLounge]

Nice bass. The rod looks ok for some smaller fish

[@RealisticFishing]

If a short, limp, rod will work, then its just right. 😀

[@nicradichel2034]

If you were to swap out the reel to say a shimano sienna 500fd... would you recommend just the rod as a good panfish rod?

[@RealisticFishing]

Nope. Its a pen rod from Ali Express

[@Munky332]

Eh, I was kind of hoping it would be a good option to just leave in the trunk of my wifes car when we're out and about and I can't take my full 7 rods, or even a 2 piece. A telescoping rod like that might be handy. I wonder if you paired it up with a bit better of a reel like a Daiwa 2000-3000 size reel, and/or some better line, if it would fair better? I do have a cheap ultralight that came similiar to this, but isn't telescoping, think it was like "ready 2 fish" or some shit. I use it for panfish and it works fine even if the reel is complete shit in build quality, but i've never had the problems like you have here. I did re-spool it with 6lb Co-polymer though.

[@RealisticFishing]

I think it would work better with a spincast reel. The eyes are just too small and that causes the line, especially loopy line, to bunch up and get twisted.

[@americanmade2896]

I see people trying to sell them for 30 each 😂 great video man, always keeping it realistic :)

[@RealisticFishing]

$30! thats a rip off 😆

[@FoReelFishin]

NICE BASS! Never had luck with craws man!

[@nicholaspouliotoutdoors384]

I have been bindge watching your videos this one is so far my fav lmao what a day from hell and it cost you 9 dollars.

[@RealisticFishing]

It was a fun experiment 😀

[@tnbass2833]

Old hickory is already a tough lake to fish especially by the bank then you add a 10 dollar rod to the mix. You must enjoy agony lol.Most of Lews gear is either made by Doyo or Banax.

[@masonstevenson1334]

Funny. I bought one for my girlfriend and I respooled it with some 8 pound p line. It works great and has cought alot of fish😂

[@RealisticFishing]

Works great compared to what?

[@djcartwright424]

It's a good thing you're a level headed dude. I wonder what kind of reaction the Bromancer would have had dealing with this thing?🤣

[@RealisticFishing]

He would still say its the best thing ever to try and get free Lews Stuff.

[@djcartwright424]

Realistic Fishing 🤣🤣🤣

[@jimcrosby8524]

Wasn’t it a Lews rod tip that broke when you set the hook on a bass? I had never seen that before.

[@RealisticFishing]

Yes it was

[@jimcrosby8524]

Stopped by the GSA pier this morning before heading home. Cold front came through last night and the north east wind was blowing pretty hard. Bite was almost non existent. I said well we caught all we could stand yesterday and now today we aren’t getting anything. My son said,” well that’s realistic fishing “!

[@RealisticFishing]

He is right! 👍

[@1145theman]

First time watching your channel. Thank you! Made me laugh my ass off.

[@RealisticFishing]

😂 Thanks for watching.

[@prestonmercy5049]

Redi Getti same

[@ethancastleberry1689]

I bought one of these had the same problem with the line also the last part of the rod got stuck and won't retract now but changed the line and it's my truck micro fishing rod for creeks now

[@RealisticFishing]

It might work better for micro fishing 👍

[@jordanpender1850]

I got one a few weeks ago been using it at a pond up the road from my girlfriends job while I wait for her, I have yet to have any problems with it.. I caught a few bass with it so far and some catfish, had to cut the line for the first time today cause I got caught on some Lilly pads but it held up pretty well while I was tugging. Maybe u got unlucky with that one haha. I definitely wouldn’t use it anywhere other than ponds and I’m pretty gentle with it.

[@RealisticFishing]

Awww, how gentle and nice.

[@WestPointLakeWilly]

Hi man, if you put a different reel on the rod would it work better you think?

[@RealisticFishing]

No, they both suck. 😂

[@WestPointLakeWilly]

Realistic Fishing have you ever found a good telescopic rod. Looking for a good one for travel.

[@coast2coast00]

Also look at multiple piece rods, cheap 5 piece rods get recommended for bicycle and backpack fishing all the time. (I just went for a 2 piece tied along the top tube though)

[@mattk1073]

I bought the same combo for a truck kit to be ready at all times to fish. No catches yet but not too bad for 10 bucks I paid

[@RealisticFishing]

Don't be surprised if you have a few problems. 😉

[@H8er-Maker]

LoL I don't even attempt to use the line thats on new reels. Re - spooling line will solve 90% of the issues. But I get the otb review. I always wonder the same thing when I snag old huge line. Wtf are these people fishing for? How do they lose line so heavy? Like the video man you're entertaining.

[@RealisticFishing]

Thanks Bruce 👍

[@GFLCB]

I have this exact combo. Good for crappie fishing. The line that comes with it is crap. The reel tho is smooth and good. Change the line to ur fav lb and brand.

[@RealisticFishing]

I think I will stick to my more reliable equipment.

[@bloodsin28]

Hey, have you used a chatterbait or bladed jig on the channel before? I just broke out my first one yesterday and was very pleased with performance and results. I'd be happy to send a couple your way if you'd like to try it out on the channel.

[@RealisticFishing]

I have tried maybe a dozen times. Never got a bite 😅

[@PhilosophyDaily]

What action camera do u use? And how do u record audio?

[@RealisticFishing]

I use two camera... A Kodak PixPro SP1 and a Sony AS200V. I use the camera mics on both.

[@PhilosophyDaily]

Realistic Fishing thx

[@7citiesfishing]

Not a bad cheap little pole!

[@RealisticFishing]

Could be worse I suppose... 😅

[@dp4013]

I ran the product number from you receipt on Walmart.com. It's regularly priced at $24.49, so at $9 you got a fishing steal. I expect to have line issues with any factory spooled reel, but after respooling with better line it would be a good convenience combo to keep under the seat of the truck for those opportune fishing moments.

[@RealisticFishing]

Its in the back of the car just in case. And of course I got a good deal... Budget Fishing Jesus 👍
