Best Budget Rod/Reel Collection On Earth (Saltwater and Freshwater Fishing Rods/Reels)

[@edt1cv2]

Ugly stiks are my favorite rods. It's always cool to see people use them. I have one my dad gave me that's at least 40 years old and it still catches a bunch.

[@devinshook3289]

Imo I don't love them. The tip is soft and mushy, they are slow action rods. They have exceptions in their line. I own a Tiger for sturgeon. But if somebody needs a new rod and doesn't want to spend a bunch of money, they will certainly do the job on a budget

[@frankiev-tech4630]

I enjoy these videos JC! Don't worry on the haters that don't like what you use...sponsorships is what helps you live and eat to keep on going! They wish they get that love and opportunity! Hundreds of videos you've done proves you can land quality fish on affordable low priced non popular brands! That's what's it's about! There's anglers out there on $1000 setups and you show on $200 or less embarassing them! You do you're thing and keeping it real! Oh and that bait caster reel with that screw problem. You're a handy dude...I'm an auto technician and I've dealt with thousands of bad screw/bolt threads. A way of fixing it either doing a heli coil repair...or you fill the hole with some type of jb weld. Let it dry well, drill the hole with the proper bit and retap it.

[@devinshook3289]

I bought a 6500 Daiwa BG for sturgeon fishing in the PNW. I had no idea how huge it is. Those daiwa reels are way bigger than most other brands. It should do the job even if I hook into a 10 footer

Catfish tuna whahoo salmon king’s enough line capacity for sure

[@93tjfresh]

Don’t worry about the naysayers JC ! I love absolutely love your content . I hope you make more money doing this than you ever imagined . As a fellow content creator I understand how hard you work on your Hi quality videos and incredibly useful information!

[@thanol]

Great overview JC, you can never have too many setups!! I definitely support getting out the big setups and going for the big snook and tarpon, it's been a while! Love all the videos, but when you target the big ones, those are my favorite! Take care and looking forward to the Mexico trip!!

[@julesl6910]

When I want to learn from the pros I watch you and old Fisherman's Life videos, unfortunately Fisheman's Life has slowed down but you've stayed at your peak for years now. Thanks for all of your efforts!

[@clearwaterboating]

I still watch the old fisherman’s life videos.

[@MiguelPecina-dh8rd]

Loved the penn and ugly sticks rods can’t go wrong with them

[@papayaman78]

Got into rod fishing after watching your videos, bought an uglystix 1 piece 7 foot med heavy, then bought a big water 12 ft for surf fishing. Penn pursuit reels, 6000, 4000, 2500

[@FrankLadd]

Great set ups! I like that you still use the reasonably priced gear regularly.

[@jimleofla]

Keep doing what you do.! Love your videos and content.! ❤. Haters are always gonna hate.!

[@Mitoa]

Watched all the way through because I love you buddy! Made sure to leave a like, much love jc 👍👍

[@clearwaterboating]

Hey JC, you can’t have enough setups! I really need to get into beach fishing. Always love your videos.

[@deepiper6529]

JC great to see your videos as always. I started using the Penn Pursuit reels after watching your videos, and I cannot say enough about them. I have them in size 2500 through 5000. I caught the biggest fish I have ever caught in my life down in Gulf Shores, AL off the State Park Pier 2 thanksgivings ago. A nice, big Black Drum. Caught it on my Penn Pursuit III 4000 size reel. Ugly Stik GX2 6'6" medium rod, 12 lb Berkley Big Game monofilament line, using Fish Bites on a hi/lo rig. The big Drum was peeling drag like crazy! The Ugly Stik held up great too. Still using them both!

[@RMRCV]

JC, good info. Keep em coming.👍🎣👍

[@WhitePerch]

Nice work explaining your rod/reels. Thank you

[@bobowhite11]

Great vid JC! Good Luck with Piscifun, and being a ambassador for them. I had a problem with a carbon X handle and the Service I received was EXCELLENT! I love the Captain Series but cant find them anymore? Love the Content keep it coming!

What about cast netting pompano and sheep. I’ve been wanting to do it, sometimes I see the sheep and they won’t bite

Cool vid bro. 👍🏻🤙🏻

[@CarlosMontalvo-e6y]

Great job give us great knowledge do it again

[@jeware1971]

My best buy is three tiger Shakespeare medium heavy poles with spinning reels for $25 for all three...market buy. But I really like your combos.

[@earngheng2004]

Thanks. Informative!

[@101dragonsthe]

Love the budget rods and makes for lots of gear for all the grand kids

[@Flix08]

i’m new to saltwater fishing and have only fished once, should i get a 14000 size for open water on a boat?

[@mherharutyunyan7015]

Thank you 👍👍👍

[@abcJ-q4v]

what rod for shad fishing? I need to cast a 3/4oz weight as far as i can, I prefer a light weight rod around 6.6-7' long

[@juniorcrandall8933]

JC I recently took a father daughter fishing. He also purchased 2 of those set ups at Sam's. Way too heavy and bulky for for his high school daughter to handle. If there is some intrest, maybe some suggestions on rods and reels that families would enjoy. On the Flats or the beach, where is the fish going.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching and sharing your ideas, greatly appreciated.

[@marksmanmatthew6322]

Gonna have to try the Walmart sealed reels, thanks for the review.

[@michaelpollard5990]

Nice arsenal reel and rod combo collection

[@walte99]

Great info, JC! Do you use the Silver Max only for freshwater? If so, why? Also, why 6 lb. line on a Med Hvy rod?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Sometimes I use the silver max in salt, but not often. I like spinning reels a lot. The 6 lb. is for Crappie fishing, and for catching Pinfish.

[@bobbyhouston7881]

Great video JC !!! This is the core of what drew me to your channel in the first place. An everyday guy catching fish on everyday equipment. I agree with you on the Ashconfish braided line, but I do prefer the 8 strand. How have you found that the 4 strand compares to the 8 strand ? I would love to hear your thoughts, and maybe a review??? Keep up the good work !

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I have only used the 4 strand braid.

[@jchae35jc]

That's all I ever buy. Combo's! Touche'!

[@sayuridoyle1151]

Great info J.C. I love my ugly stiks

[@andretaskmaster4101]

Keep up the good work

[@FishOnChannel]

Those rods and reels are taking over your room. You have to open a tackle shop 😀

[@chthomas7669]

Hello sir. I’m getting into kayak fishing and am very much enjoying your content. Maybe you could make a second channel for the videos you don’t see fit on this channel? I have much to learn your videos are very helpful but I went for a cheap sundolphin Bali ss to just see how I like it and was wondering if you had any tips for stability? Maybe I just need more time to get used to being on the water.

[@TheKenjondoe]

Great video by the way!

[@2Cool4Ryan]

All you need is a Shimano Stella 4000 + 7'6 St Croix MF rod with 10 lb J - braid PEx8.

[@travisg2780]

Keep up the gd work n we the die hard subscriber don't mind you doing what u gotta to make ends meet Jc. I own 3 ugly stik rods becuz of you n also n plan to get more gears that you've shown

Hi JC. Do you mind linking or spelling out the man’s info that painted that yellow and blue rod for you? Thanks in advance. Btw appreciate your videos, can’t wait to see what you have next.

can you do one for a bait cast setup also the new Fuego is better on drag I find for 109 dollars.

What is the brand and model of the WalMart Sealed Reel?

Ozark Trail

[@luislorenzo1362]

Hey Bud, quick question. I just purchased a Penn Battle 3 4000 combo and it came with a medium fast rod that was capable of 10-30lb mono which was a perfect combo! However I lost the top portion of my 7’ 2 piece rod. So I went to purchase another rod and I purchased a squadron 3 inshore medium fast but it’s only good for 20lb max line and 3/4 oz lure max. Do you believe that is enough for catching at least slot size snook and reds of a dock and structure? I like the action but I’m not sure as to whether it has enough power to handle some big fish? I truly appreciate your advice.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Is your name Danny? Of all the rods I show in this video and you ask about a squadron which I don't have. All of these videos of catching big fish were with medium power rods: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZjCZGBon7F7ers kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6LMkoKenJ2bjKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/jovaeYxthpiHnJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOWammejLqqptU kzbin.info/www/bejne/opCxi2msiryrjqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGake2aPq7h-bJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqLJdp18jrGbhs0

Didn’t hear it mentioned do you still use mostly the cheap mono from Walmart for leaders?

yes, im using flourocarbon too

if youre coming down to the Baja, let me know !

[@TheKenjondoe]

Hey JC I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a set up. I want to go jigging in about 200-300 meters saltwater and I was thinking of getting a penn 8000 for the reel, do you have a suggestion for a rod around $100 or less to match with it. Or even a different setup you think might be better for around the same price. Thanks in advance man!

[@RadReelingFishing]

I do not. Thanks for watching.

[@TheKenjondoe]

I would love if you condensed the most important bits…and maybe best value combos or rods and reels…into maybe a 6-8 minute video…I saw the length of this one…and tuned out immediately. Sorry bro. If you wanna do both, that’s cool too…but please make something that is digestible in much shorter format for most of us thx🙏🏻🍻

[@sethscott4211]

Promoting budget rod and reels is great. But fishing line no lol. I've tired what your talking about and the beyond braid and there garbage. New line breaking no where near the knots. There's plenty of more budget lines than that. As people realize they actually wanna do it and more highly suggest upgrading slowly so you don't go spent money on what you like. Buying penn combos I don't suggest cause the poles are garbage on those combo's but my reels have held up. The pursuits I highly recommend for a better reel without breaking the bank. I've been moving on from them cause I love the Florida fishing products line. A lot lighter and fit me very well. Also a FL business and not big Corp China made product. Bull bay another FL brand that I love and most of what I own cause im close, light weight, durability and a Warranty to back it. Love the small business products. Also love my crowder rods. Long lasting for years also. Once you decide it's something you love it's worth spending the money so you don't constantly have broken stuff maybe after a year. Salt water it will beat the breaks off you gear and it don't take using it a bunch. That's why I've spent a little more money buying my fishing tackle
