Im a kayak guy down here in So Cal and fish the San Diego reservoirs I picked up two spinning rods G. Loomis NRX+ 822S DSR And G. Loomis IMX-Pro 853S JWR If price was no factor would you pair them up with a exsence 3000 and a Stella 3000 or just get the 2 Stella’s and call it a day?

Thank you, Matt and Tim. Great job with the Guides this year under what I can imagine were challenging circumstances. A suggestion for the 2024 editions if I may: Consider compiling a Guide that speaks to the unique needs of the bank angler. Many of us are limited by the gear we are able to carry, and we often ask our combos and baits to fulfill a wide range of functions as a result. KZbin is loaded with angling content, but it seems like very little of it is directed at fishing from the bank; I think a few words dedicated to this pursuit would be greatly appreciated by the viewers. Thank you again for everything you share with us; your channel is a reliable source of education and entertainment, and I very much appreciate your efforts. Good luck to those heading out to have a go at the bass today and have a great Tuesday!

the main issue for matt and tim would be the fact that they probably don't do enough bank fishing to justify doing a tackle guide for that. another issue would be there isn't much gear specifically designed for bank fishing. The closest would probably be BFS, but where it shines on a boat it also shines on shore. But bank fishing would make an interesting seminar/clinic style of episode, but i'm not sure if there's anything "advanced" or technique specific theyve honestly experienced enough themselves that nost people have not already to make a full episode on it. From my experience, the main differences between boat fishing and bank fishing exists in the limitation of water you have access to, and that usually means your techniques and presentations are also going to be limited. Specifically, speaking vertical presentations and deep cranking are generally off the table because the water along the shoreline is almost always too shallow for them. That means: -Casting distance becomes a higher priority from the bank than it is from a boat -Weedless baits should be given more priority because getting your bait out of a snag is hundreds of times more difficult than from a boat. -Extensive knowledge and skill regarding everything about top water fishging should also be a priority for bank anglers. -Gear must be limited to what you can carry while fishing, because traveling the shoreline is crucial. Especially on highly pressured bodies of water. Having to put down and pick something up consumes too much time every time you want make a cast, and having to walk back to get the gear you have to put down also can be tiring. -The presence of hard or sandy bottoms, rocks, boulders, steep slopes, and rip rap become more important than just fishing any point, beach, reed line, tree line. or grass line. -Downsizing isn't always a necessity, and lighter is better than too heavy. Casting Distance: -Longer rods help, as well as med, to med-fast actions only. -Use lighter than heavier line -Conventional should be a priority for distance and drag heavy baits, like spinnerbaits, chatter, a rigs, frogs, and spooks, heavier jerkbaits, shallow cranks -Straight braid is often better than straight mono or fluorocarbon, or using a leader, because of snags and less stretch on long casts; the increased sensitivity helps you feel the type of bottom, identify submerged structure; and increased strength with much lower line diameter helps with distance -when using spinning reels, always try to have your line wound on by machine or rig your own system where you can take your spool off to be wound vertically along with a vertically aligned spool. -portable rod rack that can be strapped to your back is better than a strap with loops holding two or more rods. -a holster for a seconds rod and reel is more convenient than a rod rack with two ore more rod and reels.

When I started watching you guys a many years ago , after a bad motorcycle accident, my life completely changed and you too remind me of love for bass fishing . I have watched your buyers guide for years and when I hit the 300 combos I was so excited and year after year my dollars go up . I will never have all the high end you do but I love every year moving up in dollar amount . I went from not having any expride to falling in love and having 6 . You guys are awesome and I truly thanking you for me falling in love in bass fishing again . I had ten years of depression after my wreck and realize I can’t golf or ride motorcycles again . I really needed something to find something to want to live for and thanks to you too falling in love with bass fishing gives me something to love when my life sucks and I love how much of family men you too are . Thank you for doing what yall do some of use need it to live . Some of us to do for hobby and some of us do for reason live . Thanks guys and merry Christmas love you guys

9:07 Only catching up on this video now. The blue Steez 761MML (“the Unicorn Rod”) was my entry into that line of rods. It’s such a versatile rod, can throw heavier long-distance & deep-water dropshots, tubes, spybaits, small finesse jigs… I now I have 8 of the red Steez rods, including The One (which IMO is the perfect “can only bring one” smallmouth rod). Maybe it kicks off some additional explorations into that rod line. “The Ned” is a standout for me, best Ned rig rod I’ve owned - and I own the 821 NRR, as well. That solid tip makes it insanely fun and affords effortless bottom contact even on light Ned heads.

Appreciate you guys, in a world where 90% of fishing KZbinrs are focused on “budget” gear, it’s refreshing to see some high end gear reviews One comment - if you haven’t done so already, try that Steez CT SV TW 70 on the Megabass Destroyer P5 OneTen stick. I can bomb even 110Jrs with that 6’5” rod. The weight balances perfectly on that ultra lightweight, short rod. It really is the ultimate jerkbait combo - also does well with stuff like Z Cranks, OSP Blitz etc AND it’s a great rod for walking topwater baits and PopMax. More power to all the budget anglers out there, but I’m glad you guys also give some love to those of us who don’t like fishjng with cheap gear 🤘🏻

Unless something has changed, I think the Legend Elite rods are the lowest price of entry to rods with Fuji Torzite guides on the whole market. It's a nice objective selling point if someone is particularly interested in that. I love my 7 foot MH Legend Elite for fishing finesse football jigs, compact jigs, and some true finesse jigs. I have it paired with the Japanese made version of the Zillion SV TW which is a tad lighter than the US version (made in Malaysia) due to having an aluminum main gear rather than brass (and is usually about 100 dollars cheaper in other markets). That combo just does that job exactly right.

I've got that St. Croix 7'4" heavy in the legend x with the Metanium mgl on it. Its probably my favorite rod i own. I use it for jigs, frogs, some swimbaits, and even an a-rig. Also very impressed with the feel of my 1st stella i just got. For now i put it on a 7'3" medium xfast st croix legend tournament bass and it really feels good on there, but i'm trying to fight the urge to get the 872 nrx + for it. Both the same length, action, and power so probably not worth having both, but thats never stopped me before! Sooner or later i'll just have to get an nrx of some sort to see what they're all about! Great buyers guides, thanks for covering everything from cheap to expensive. I use it all, and it's all fun. Hell, i even still get my old zebco 33 classic out and have fun with that.

I'd like to see you compare the gloomis 844mbr to the P5 Xbites for finesse jigs. The tip on Xbites helps work finesse jigs little easier and has a ton of power when you need it.

Being a tackle junkie, I really enjoy your yearly buyers guide videos. Question..... the blanks on the St Croix Legend Elite and Legend Xtreme are the same though the handles and guides are different. Looking at specs, the Elite is significantly lighter in weight. As far as functionality, is an extra $250+ going to buy you any better sensitivity or casting distance with the Xtreme? Thanks!

Hey guys great content as always. Two things for ya. 1st: How sensitive is sensitive enough and how light is light enough? Also I can’t justify high end gear because I’d be to afraid of possibly breaking it. Thanks

Question, if you are looking to pair a mid and high end, you you go with a high end rod paired with a mid reel or a high end reel with a mid range rod?

Hey guys love the channel and have a question. I bought 2 Team Diawa light and tough 6’6” 3/16 to 1oz . 10-17 pound bait cast rods. Probably 28 years ago when I use to bass fish a lot they are like new and am getting back into bass fishing. What would you suggest for a couple good reals to pair with them and what do you think there best application would be ? Thank you

Beautiful stuff, guys, and well explained! I just dont understand the high prices when you can order the same stuff for almost half the price difference overseas. I realize you dont have the warranties that you get from ordering here, but on reels, that's really not that big of a fear. Especially when comparing the price of reels like the Steez CT SV TW. $700 vs. $400 overseas.

I have a pile of Megabass Destroyers but, My My, the 110 Stick is sooo nice! I pair the 110 stick the 110 special and the Jerkbait special all with Aldebarens. Needless to say after owning all 3, Im a jerkbait nut and fish them all year in the Ozarks. The water is clear from vegitation, so its a year round deal for me. Something about that 110 stick with the smaller JB's like an X-Nanahan or an X-80 Trickdarter, 110jr etc. It can fish a 110, and I use it for walleye on cold cold days when I dont want alot of movement from a Vision 110, but it shines with the 100 size and smaller. And with uts length its pinpoint accurate!

In several of the buyer guides you have mentioned the different powers (power/finesse) for the Shimano spinning reels. I wanted to see if you have a list (or could direct me to a list) where the Shimano spinning reel powers are so I can try and pair the rods I purchase with the proper spinning reels. Thank you for the on going education ! Wishing you and your families a healthy and positive Holiday Season !!

For Power, your looking at the metal frame reels like the Stella, Twinpower, Exsence and Stradic. For the finesse side, the best I've used is the Vanquish (JDM) and the Vanford. For power, I prefer my 17' Exsence c3000MHG and for finesse the 19' or 23' Vanquish in the C2000S, C2000SHG, C2500SHG, or the 2500S are my favorites followed by the Vanford 2000 or 2500.

What do you guys think of the Chronarch MGL 151? I’ve been eyeing a Curado MGL 150 but haven’t been able to find a left handed version so I went with the Chronarch. Is it worth staying with it or should I keep on the hunt for the Curado?

Flipping through you're recommendations of the last few days, it seems fewer reels are available in left handed retrieve (or TW doesnt carry them) as you go up in price. I'll likely never reach thr $500 reel category, but am i screwing myself by fishing lefty?

Great video. I own 6 nrx+ rods, and with the casting rods and I love them. Do you guys use braid to leaded on your nrx+ casting models? It always scared me a bit because of how much noise it makes coming in and out of those guides.
