4 Must Have BAITCAST RODS

[@Psykout]

At a certain point, having extra rods helps more with being able to quickly switch your presentation without retying. When I think to myself it would be nice to have another rod, it leans more to just having more lures on lines at the same time rather than having the perfect rod for that lure.

[@jasonjackson3511]

Make alot of sense to me I will rather do it that way so I can get right back fishing and not a lot of time on my lures and line🤔💯🎣🎣

[@Oldbasshole]

I think of it like golfing . You don’t have 1 or 2 clubs , each one has a purpose. And if you have a fish miss a topwater it’s good to have another rod ready to throw a different bait ( jig or Senko ) right back at that spot

[@Jackson-dw3zn]

You could use snaps(no swivels

[@zayg062]

Definitely

[@bdcfu]

I started using speed clips. I switch baits a lot. I have one spinning set up and one casting. Just bought another casting reel and trying to figure out if I want a MH moderate rod. I have a MH fast.

[@randyramirez4946]

The info about people who set a little softer was very helpful. I primarily kayak fish and if I go after a set I may end up in the water! Thank you for all you do.

[@jayteefishing1543]

Great video man. 4 super universal rods. I know this is just casting rods but, Add a 7 ft medium spinning rod in there and boom, you can do it all. Perfect 5 rod set up for a bass angler just getting started or anyone really for that matter. Good job man.

[@Everything_Andy]

I've got 2 mh rods. One in a 7ft and one in the 7'6". Both are fast. One is for the senko, precision targets up close the other being the 7'6" for the little extra distance for similar lures but also for the slightly heavier lures in the same spectrum 1/2oz to 1oz and the shorter is for the 3/8oz to 1/2oz just for what I like fishing. And short rod gets 12-14lb fluoro or mono and the larger length gets 15lb fluoro or 30lb braid. Both rods have 7.5 gear ratio reels. Since I'm a bank angler and places I fish near me doesn't really have that heavy mats of vegitation for me to be using heavier line and rods. So it all works for me personally and my hook sets. Plus I'm 5'3" so the little extra length helps me for alot of different fishing applications.

[@Jackson-dw3zn]

My baitcaster is a 7,3 heavy power, fast action with 65lb braid. I use it for frogs, but I could also use it to punch through lillypads

[@goalieman206]

So I think I’m pretty well capped out on all rods/reels. I personally have 1 spinner (I never really use it as I’m in Florida so I don’t use much finesse) and like 8 baitcasters. I have a chatter bait rod, fluk/senko rod, crank bait rod, top water rod, swim bait/jig rod, speed worm rod, lipless rod and a few others. I’m at the point now where I have all categories covered for what I fish with. In the future I may look into BFS style setups just to throw tiny cranks for peacock bass.

[@MrBoomer-jl2gw]

I live in florida and my arsenal is comprized of a medium fast baitcaster for all my bass fishing applications

[@farrzmd3038]

Great video. I have 5 rods and 8 reels. Just swap the reels with whatever line I want.

[@c.shoefish]

I've done that for years and years with great success. Just changing the reel speed and line can easily make a rod do something completely different. My 7.3 MH fast rods can be my deep cranking rods, my frog rods, my jig rods and spinnerbait/bladed jig rods, all depends what line I'm putting on.

[@farrzmd3038]

@@c.shoefish I agree. Braid, mono, flouro make all the difference along with line diameter.

[@Jackson-dw3zn]

​how do you do that tho

[@farrzmd3038]

@@Jackson-dw3zn I bring 3 rods with me and then keep 2 extra reels in my bag. This way if I wanna switch to braid or mono i swap out the reel I’m using with a reel in my bag.

[@Everything_Andy]

hey need a spinning setup for finnesse fishing aka drop shots, smaller rigs like ned rig, micro jigs.

[@lifespillsover6651]

Another great video with tons of clear easy to follow information. I don't comment on a lot of videos (on any channel) but i must say I have really enjoyed your video's and hope you keep it up! I am new to fishing and I fish from a Kayak. I have learned a ton from you and the vids! Thanks!

[@phiology1983]

I only set the hook hard if its heavy vegetation or cover. Bass hook themselves usually really well. Gamakatsu hooks mostly do the work for you 😆

[@bobjohnston5527]

I have a Quantum smoke rod and a Quantum smoke S3 reel will hold 8 to 65 pound. The line weight for the rod is 8 to 17 pound test line. I tried 20 pound braid test on the rod except it didn't help in the casting. The rod has micro line guides. Any fishing line higher than 17 pound doesn't cast very well. The rod and reel is nice and lite for fishing all day long

[@luisleija872]

The lightest braid I use in baitcaster is 30# anything below that is hard to throw in a baitcaster.

[@bobjohnston5527]

Baitcaster I have can handle lite line very well. Softbaits I can cast a long distance to the island on the Nashwaak River. Using heavier bait I have to slow the bait down before it lands on the island. Using heavier lines I can't cast as far using soft baits. Having a rod with micro guides slow down heavier lines than regular guides. I live in Fredericton New Brunswick Canada. If you want to do a search on my city on the map it has the Nashwaak River that flows into the Saint John River with the island and a bridge that crosses over the Nashwaak and the island

[@johnnyorbell4019]

This is certainly wonderful channel low brow by most standards, which I believe is a good thing too much hype surrounding our sport these days that being said the materials, easy to digest and it’s good material, quality tips and techniques. My only issue was with tackle warehouse everything I go there to buy is sold out no matter when I go there. I’ve got onto your channel over a year ago and I’ve been trying to support through the process of picking up more gear, which, as we know, anglers love to do that being said, it seems over the last year hardly anything at all that I’m interested in or that you recommend is still in stock total frustration any advice would be helpful. Thank you again for your grace.

[@Spoonman6061]

Awesome as as always. So glad your in the northeast. Puts more in perspective with what i do for fishing in Pa. Thanks for keeping straight forward explanations. Peace. E

[@tshaw150]

Love your videos. I just watched this newer video and am curious as to why a year ago you did a similar video where you were hot on the Okuma TCS baitcasters. Are these newer ones any better or different in some way?

[@FinkeFishing]

You talk about changing line based on what you're throwing, do you keep different reels prestrung or swap spools is there a good all around option for us who can only dedicate one reel to a rod and fish it with the line it's stung with

[@JoeNajorFishing]

Great video………. But, I can’t change the line every time I want to switch techniques. Tyler, in your opinion, what line would be good for everything? Do you recommend braid to leader for everything? I fish out of a kayak and I only use 3 bait casters and 1 spinning. Love the channel. 🙌

[@JS-oy6nn]

I use the same. 3 casting rods and 1 spinning rod. 1. 15 lb fluoro 2. 17 lbs fluoro 3. 30-50 braid And 20lb braid on the spinning rod. This pretty much covers everything for me.

[@AgiDaKinG]

I’m primarily a bank angler so I use braid if I’m trying to get the most use out of a rod because I can always change leaders. The only time I use straight Flourocarbon is on my Crankbait rod

[@bronzebackbassing18]

Personally I have 2 baitcast set ups with 20-30lb test braid, 1 with 50 (the heavy stick) and I just attached a different leader depending on what lure I’m using. For my 1 spinning rod I usually go straight fluorocarbon, 8lb test

[@joefish63]

Good info Ty. Most guys suggest a heavy or XHvy rod for punching. What do you think about that?

[@tommylagebro3458]

as a bankfisher three rods are maximum and with one spinning setup that leaves two baitcast setup. but did you not did a film about that as well=)

[@trickytrav88]

i dont have a heavy baitcaster i have ML to MH fast lews custom rods and they do everything i need except heavy swimbaits and heavy flipping

[@Savageangling]

How would you modify these 4 rods for Florida fishing? I.e. Different rods or line on reel

You're information is priceless ty!

[@bradkuykendall9174]

Was that a beautiful War eagle spinnerbait I love those the head shape and sound of blades gave it away

[@luisleija872]

What kind of reel are those?? they look nice!!! They kinda look like a abu evo4 premier from the side.

[@zekereed5990]

Thanks for the info Ty. I have a question sir, I am purchasing a Kayak this year, do you suggest staying with the same lengths? Again thanks for the great content. Be safe

[@ryanmorris284]

Hey Tyler, thanks for the video. I feel like you always have super informative content, but can still make it basic enough for newer anglers. With that, do you have a rod of choice if you could only have one topwater rod? Like one you could use for frogs as well as buzzbaits and walking baits? And I know you mentioned possibly doing a spinning rod video down the road. I would enjoy that one as well and I feel like it's a little more of a simpler topic. Appreciate the content as always!

[@robertdtimmerman6507]

I’m surprised you didn’t include a Heavy rod. 7”3’ H for swim jigs. MH just doesn’t seem stiff enough for jigs and bigger lipless crank baits.

[@dragoninja13]

Great video Tyler! That's pretty much the same conclusion I have come to myself over the past couple years that I have gotten back into bass fishing between great information from you, tyler's reel fishing Randy Blaukatt, and few others in finally starting to pick things up lol

[@augiefishes]

why do you use a mono leader for topwater???

[@ukstorm2727]

I've spoiled myself with a rod for every technique and because I have limited storage on my boat I rotate my gear guessing what techniques might work , this burned me last December when we went to Chickamauga and found out there was still a frog bite , frog rod left at home lol

[@louismcdade1116]

Four is plenty till your fishing a tourney and only have a few hours left in a tourney and have to stop and tie on different bait. Less time in the water means less bites.

Good list, for me...I agree with 3/4. I would trade out that 7.6 MH for a 6'8"-6'10" M fast which makes for a great finesse jig and jerkbait/topwater rod.

Hey tyler im new to fishing. Ive been watching your videos and try my best catching fish on these ponds. I live in mexico and its kinda hard to get ahold of the rods you have. Theyre kind of expensive here lol. I currently use a 20 dollar used walmart rod and beleive me i rarely catch anything. What bait should i use? Live bait top water lures? Any tips and tricks you can give me would be great. Im tired of taking my 6 year old and never catch anything 😅 saludos amigo 👍

Don't let anyone tell you that that rod you have is the reason you don't catch fish. I caught countless fish on the ol ugly sticks.

That was funny!😀, a subscriber fishing trip would be a dream for someone.

[@zayg062]

People who set the hook like it's a boxing match is the reason I just pulled a 2.7 out of my hometown lake with at least a inch of ripped lip . It's actually sad considering they still have to live and function after the release and a lot of time the extra strong hook set isn't necessary

Just gotta get a little creative, I fit 7”4 rods no prob in my early 00s forester lol and they’re not in any body’s way as long as I don’t try to put anyone in the back middle seat, used to even carry an 8 footer in there
