Testing my New KastKing Ranger Telescopic Rod (Philadelphia, PA)

[@KastKing]

I can see why there is a peak of interest for this travel rod. Thank you Leo!

This is my favorite fishing channel because you fish in small creeks and aren't always traveling to all these states and fishing in giant ponds, it's a more relatable fishing channel

[@melvinlee5684]

I've been fishing since I was a little kid. This reminds me of my favorite childhood creek; the difference is that when I was a kid, the creek would have been crowded with other kids fishing and playing. Kids today are too lazy and busy with video games to do this. This is sad. They are missing out on a lot of fun. Your videos always bring out a bit of nostalgia in me. Thanks.

[@emanueleagle1939]

That trout's coloration was beautiful. I also appreciate the care you took with it not squeezing it too hard or ripping the hook out! Saving fish for others to catch is the best quality in a fisherman! Good fishing, keep it up!

[@extremephillyfishing]

That Trout was indeed very gorgeous, Emanuel Eagle! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@seanm451]

It is truly amazing to catch a trout this time of the year. Consider yourself lucky to catch that fish. Seemed like a great day of fishing

[@extremephillyfishing]

I was very surprised myself, Sean! To think that that fish didn't die from a Summer kill. It was truly astonishing. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@hdfishing]

its so cool watching the fish swimming away after being released. the water is so clear is amazing

[@extremephillyfishing]

I totally agree with you, Hailey. One of the biggest joys in catch-and-release is to see your fish swimming away nicely and properly. It is a unique feeling! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@cadenpayne5067]

I don't know what it is, but I love fishing and seeing fish being reeled in in those clearwater creeks... :D Great vid!!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Same here, bro! Seeing the fish fighting always add an extra to the whole experience. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@dylanshockley8161]

im very sick right now but when i watch your vids i get happy and i felt a lot better

[@saariccox6269]

get well

[@highhookfishing9135]

i'm sick to :/

[@extremephillyfishing]

I am sorry to hear that you are sick, Dylan. Hopefully you will heal soon enough so that you can still watch EPF & go out there for some fishing! :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@thecreativenetwork6187]

+Extreme Philly Fishing your videos made me realise that the size of the fish doesn't matter as long as you cath it...

[@chatoriveras63]

This is what I wanted to see a long review where they’re actually using it thanks man

[@charliebloch922]

Great job Leo!!! I haven't even finished it yet but I know already that it's gonna be a great video! Keep up the amazing work!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Charlie! Uploads will keep coming on the Channel every 2 days! :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@crzyruskie86]

I bought one of these rods after I watched you use it and explaining a bit about it. I like it so far, its my new travel finesse setup. Its got enough backbone and stiffness for bigger stuff but still has a fast tip so you don't lose sensitivity. I paired it with a kast king sharky II spinning reel. Anyways, love your videos man!

[@ghostboi7722]

I love watching these old videos 😂😂😂😂😂😂 much love Leo it’s crazy to see the growth!!!

[@amugs3314]

I love how you take care of your fish

[@colewright6384]

A good thing to try in small creeks are mepps spinner. It's an inlined spinner. You can get them at Walmart. Get the gold colored blade. They work great

[@extremephillyfishing]

I am familiar with the Mepps Spinner, Cole Wright. The _Mepps Aglia 2_ is one of my top three choices for inline spinners for Creeks. The other two are the Johnson _Min-O-Spin_ and the Thomas Lures _E.P. series_ in-line spinner. :) I think I have a few videos on the Channel where I use all three of them to catch some stocked Trout! :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@anthonymancuso7272]

I don't know if you will see this since this video is old but I would love to see more of these videos. It's really cool when I can drive over to pennypack and fish some of the same places you have! Hope to meet you this summer!

[@nash2609]

re-watching this video cause I just got my own traveling rod. Awesome info Leo. Thanks

[@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxys1159]

Hey Leo if you ever go Tennessee , I just got back from there from vacation and slated the small mouth on the little pigeon ,also killed the rock bass, what we used were 2" strike king tube baits in green pumpkin and white .they also stock trout there on Thursdays . You can not use treble hooks though but they make certain spinners and stuff with one hook

[@Viral_Beest]

Beautiful rainbow and black crappie btw.I use to 🐟 trout in California at the June lake mammary lake loop. Good times.

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, corey! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@esketit4421]

dude you growing i remember you had 2k nice work and never give up

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Bling_Skaterrr. This is living proof that hard work does pay off. Haha. Thanks for being a loyal subscriber all along! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@stevekwong3993]

I brought the 2.7m ones , but I think it can not as agile as 2 pice's lure rod(but I used 2.1-2.4m before) . It's quite heavy after extend , the balance actually different. Indeed it does not good for casting , i think it sould inccrease the weight of shaft .

[@blakemiller2499]

I like your channel because you don't just catch bass, and keep up the good work and keep fishing!!!!

[@happycat0411]

Some of the fishing gear coming out of China is actually pretty good these days! Not only is the fishing gear extremely affordable but the quality is fairly good as well....!

[@TheMasterCaster]

Intro was awesome! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, TheMasterCasters. Stay tuned for many more original intros to come. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@TheFishingExperiment]

Man that does look like a very nice travel rod. A lot better quality than most I have seen around.

[@extremephillyfishing]

It is, The Fishing Experiment. I definitely recommend you to get one of those, in case you travel a lot or go to lots of places where carrying rods is inconvenient. If you follow on the tips in the video, it will last you long! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@TheFishingExperiment]

Extreme Philly Fishing​ yeah for sure. I take the bus often to fishing destinations so a travel rod like this would be really great. Thanks again for the input

[@jasonnorthcarolina190]

Love the channel and all the awesome insight and videos your produce! Thanks Leo !

[@thechosen1861]

Love this video man, I'm actually buying one because it.

[@extremephillyfishing]

Awesome, Chilled out fishing! You won't regret it. The quality on that product is truly good. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@illduitmyself]

$8 on ebay

[@TheShogun88]

+Extreme Philly Fishing hey buddy could I use any spinning reel with this rod?

[@adamlee4684]

Chilled out fishing I just got the 7'10 for Christmas. have you gotten one yet?

[@jtlynn1928]

As soon as I'm able , health wise, I to get BACK to work I will buy a KastKing Ranger travel rod! ONLY 2 treatments left and after tomorrow 1 week and 1 treatment left. Leo I am not a begger or a bum but if you know of anyway I can maybe get Some LURES and other tackle and a ultra light set up by advertising or anything PLEASE LET ME KNIW! I'VE HAD to sale most of my tackle to help with bills while I'm recovering. It sucks but as parents KIDS COME FIRST! Much love and TIGHT LINES!

[@extremephillyfishing]

That sounds great, JT Lynn. I hope your treatments go well and you go back to fishing in no time! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@nqi87]

clarity of your gopro is amazing

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, nqi87! Though, when the Channel grows more, I will be purchasing better quality equipment for filming. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@jtlynn1928]

Thanks Leo! I have a question for you😃 I am teaching my nephew's to fish and wondered if I should take a multi species or single species approach to help them gain the basics they need to become solid and educated angler's? One is 9 and the other is 14, BOTH ARE SUPER INTELLIGENT AND ARE FAR ADVANCED FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE AGE GROUPS!

[@chriscrav200]

For the 14 year old I think he would like a little more of a fight such as a large mouth or a catfish

[@Morphman19]

Get them started with bass and pike, pike are very easy to catch and give awesome fights. Use pliers to unhook.

[@ryanruffer9961]

i cant beleave u have 25k subscribers they way u make ur vids u should have atleast 1 mill

[@jordyhuysmans1228]

yeah that''s true

[@charliebloch922]

Agreed!

[@nash2609]

agreed... I keep telling all my friends to follow him

[@JLSBFishing]

+Jorge Almeyda I sent him a message on KZbin asking if he thinks my videos are too similar to his. He is my main inspiration! If you guys have time, tell me if my videos are too similar to his! Thanks

[@benarreola6815]

true

[@gsx-srider7963]

i really need to go fishing there with you, shame i live in the uk, roll on 2018 as im going to usa to go fishing for 2 weeks, hope i can fish with you some day i love your videos.

[@mjq2452]

Love the Intro Leo ur channel is on the rise! Keep working hard

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Philly Fishing HQ! Uploads will keep coming every two days -- intros as well. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@PapaSmurfx93]

How’s it working for you now? I don’t think I’ve seen any updates. Awesome video EPF

[@jhowe5068]

Hey, Leo, I went fishing with a friend of mine recently, We caught 6 species of fish within 2 hours. It is amazing the kind of fish you can pull out of the river. My question is how many different types of fish have you caught out of a river or stream in one day?

[@extremephillyfishing]

Definitely, fishing with passion. I think that my record for different Species of fish from a River, in one day, was 13. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@kevindunseoutdoors26]

That was a beautiful spotted bass Leo, great fish all around!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Kevin Dunse! I certainly had a blast that day. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@enginesandfishing]

Really enjoyed the video man! Love the product review aspect! I might have to get out there for myself and catch some creek fish soon. Tight lines bro.

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Walter's Fishing corner. I am glad that you enjoyed it! Hope you catch a lot around your area! Tight lines to you as well and thanks for watching!

[@rednecksumagun2235]

One time I caught a green rock bass with solid black eyes, while trying to catch things to feed my snake. I was using a green hair jig and a piece of string because i was to lazy to use my rod.

[@edgardoherrera6957]

Wasabi gang!🤟🏾🎣 I definitely need a fishing intervention.🤣

[@mikeyboy1099]

That's amazing how the trout adapted to hunting on their own and how they stuck around until mid summer😧

[@extremephillyfishing]

Very true, SouthJersey Bassin'. I was very surprised as well! Usually the stocked Trout end up dying in the Summer. Hah. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@darkness-nova]

my 1st fish ever caught on a rod was a yellow perch. It was quite big probably over foot long

[@skibum1610]

have you fished the Wissahicken creek in Fairmount park? my dad and I head down there every summer to fly fish just for fun!

[@FortWayneFishTanks]

can the trout survive year round in the pennyback? Our local creek stickies die in June/July from warm water

[@seanisog3445]

rock bass are my favorite creek fish. ive caught some 12 and 13 inchers. What is your PB rock bass?

[@extremephillyfishing]

I love them because they are so aggressive for their size! I think my PB for them is a measly half a pound. They don't grow very big around my area, Money Badger. :( Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@andyandvincetie1938]

I like the thing you did to introduce the new rod

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Andy. Every video from now own will have its own introduction, black and white, so stay tuned! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@grandwonder5858]

What is the length of your rod? I'm looking to buy a couple of telescopic rods and yours might be one of the rods I buy, thanks.

[@weqrfawe1336]

OH MY GOD!!! i had no idea there were SMB like that in the pennypack! nice Fish!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Most of our local Creeks have some nice Smallmouth Bass (_Micropterus dolomieu_), Will! You should give it a try. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@spizzed]

Great Video! Thoroughly enjoyable. What test was teh line on the 500FD?

[@extremephillyfishing]

Glad that you enjoyed it, David Kritzberg! I use 4lbs Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon on my Shimano Sedona 500 FD. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@corycarpenter5199]

nice vid. that reminds me the same creek i fish at in my neighborhood. love fishing in shallow creeks

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Lunker Naiton. And you are lucky to have one of those in your neighborhood, man! Good stuff. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@MegaBait1616]

i do mostly saltwater fishing but have done some fresh water lately cause of you. thanks. what do you go fishing just about every day? lol.

[@griffinsidoo9682]

trout do seem to like the 1 inch minnow I got one while crappie fishing.

[@Joem-84]

Cool new intro Leo, keep up the good work!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Joe! From now onwards, each video here at EPF will have its own original black & white intro. :) Glad that you enjoyed this one. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@bassfishingillinois9538]

Leo just want to start by saying I am a huge fan. I recently bought a new camera and a chest mount any tips on starting a new channel focusing on multi species angling and bass fishing. thanks, andrew

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much for watching and following EPF on social media, Bassfishingillinois. My tips for you would be to have a consistent release schedule and work hard on the Channel. :) Wish you the best of luck with it. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@skinnyflippinpg8652]

great adventure. love it. did u break it yet. I bought the cheapest zebco one z-glass telescopic I could for a trip to Costa Rica. fished for ten mins in Costa and splintered it in Jacksonville. it was casting great. I am checking out cast king as well as the bangood! keep us updated. one of ur BEST hometown walkabout adventures! keep it up.

[@mikeescher9913]

I've never caught a black crappie in pennypack...what stretch of the creek is that?

[@rustyreddish7358]

Great vid, I love your great conversation . You cast very well. keep up the great videos!

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Rusty! Uploads will keep coming on the Channel every two days! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

What part of the pennypack were u catching those smallies by the bridge thing?

[@lakechicotguyrippnlips9350]

Your super neat and organized in all ur videos with ur gus

[@weejeeman4637]

Great video man, wish I knew of some good places to walk the creek like that and fish near me

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Shane! I am glad that you enjoyed the video. And man, you should definitely just walk into a Creek and explore! The feeling of wading and fishing is unique. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@l.i.archer5379]

I bought something similar to that on Amazon, made by Pisfun (made in China). Your rod looks exactly like it. I returned it because it was crap, and that metal piece with all those holes around the top of the upper grip came loose. Also, there were so many holes in the reel seat and handle that getting water or gunk out of it would have been a nightmare.

[@extremephillyfishing]

Well, that is saddening to hear. Hahaha. It sounds to me that the rod by this Pisfun company was indeed very bad! Well...I can't vouch for them, of course, since I have never used their products. But anyways...if you plan on getting a travelling rod, you should try the KastKing one. I can vouch for its price and quality -- a beautiful rod indeed, L.I. Archer. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@l.i.archer5379]

I have an 8-ft telescopic rod made in Korea that I bought back in 1999. It is Medium Power, Medium Action with ceramic Fuji guides. I used that for fluke (summer flounder), and porgies a lot, but I haven't touched it since I picked up some 7-ft, 2-pc Tsunami rods. The other two freshwater rods I have are Ultralights in the 5-ft range. I use something beefier for walleye or catfish. These days, I'll go with Tsunami 2-pc rods that stow neatly in the trunk of my car. Most of my gear is for saltwater. As my name implies, I live on Long Island. I'm about to head out to do some surfcasting with my 10-ft Tsunami Air Wave in Xtra Heavy power for some stripers, and maybe bounce some jigs on my 7-footer for fluke. Tight lines!!

[@HopskysLounge]

Awesome video. I liked that intro alot. Also nice new rod.

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Hopsky's Lounge! Glad that you enjoyed both the intro and the video. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@bradt3625]

I fished there right around that date for smallies, caught them on roostertails

[@coletiemann7991]

Hey, I really liked the little intro at the beginning lol. That smallmouth bass was really nice for a creek around here!! Also, I didn't know that spotted bass were around here. Are they?

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Cole! Intros are new here on the Channel and they will keep coming in each and every video. :) As for your question, they are around here in few numbers; however, most people don't know about them because they don't care to differentiate them. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@riceslife9438]

you should try and use a ice fishing rod and a senco that would be an awesome video

[@extremephillyfishing]

I have some challenges coming up on the Channel, Lincoln -- some of them that people will enjoy a lot. Hehe. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@riceslife9438]

OK man thanks

[@Guillo24i7]

This is a nice performing travel rod.

[@chansebaker8696]

Loved the intro man, it kinda game goose bumps...😂

[@sommervr]

the rod is great the reel seat is an uncomfortable mess. The rod itself is a nice Medium heavy action similar to an Ugly Stik. It is a usable rod definately not a toy. The reel seat needs a redesign. The balance needs to be about 3 inches forward. The metal reel seat chews up metal reel stem ends and makes a poor sloppy fit. They have this hard metal ball spinning thing right under your forefinger (?!) for some unknown reason. All this rod needs is an inexpensive plastic eva foam reel seat with a foregrip and it would be perfect. See every cheap spinning rod at Walmart for an example. Throw some cork on it if you want to upsell. Now I got to do surgery on this rod to see if I can fix it.

[@novaday8813]

Do you ever use the 3in gulp? is there a performance difference between the 2.5 and 3?

[@extremephillyfishing]

I have never attempted to use the 3 inch Gulp!, Nova Day. However, I can tell you that the 2.5 inches was designed for Salt-water fishing. Hehe. That is one of the secrets behind it. Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@tmljr83781]

Excellent videos, keep up the great work! Tight lines

[@skapdlarealidad]

Thanks man you help me to decide, I will shop this rod.

[@henningfenner2362]

and are there fish everywhere along the penny pack creek or just on some parts

[@SymplexFishing]

Damn. Reminds me of a light saber the way it extends.

[@extremephillyfishing]

Haha. Right on, Dave! Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Love your vids man. Why are the rods never available on amazon by kastking?

[@basshunterfishing2004]

Did you know that bass are sunfish too?

[@paulg170]

Yo Leo, I think I fish at the exact same spot that you were at when you were under the wood bridge...when you were in that area were there a lot of golf balls in the water from the golf course nearby.

[@extremephillyfishing]

That is correct, Paul! That is exactly the area. :) Tight lines and thanks for watching!

[@BigRigWaveChaser]

How would the Kastking hold up trout fishing?

[@extremephillyfishing]

Thank you very much, Aaron. Black and White intros will keep coming on the Channel from now onwards, so stay tuned. As for the fish handling skills, I do what I can, upon the circumstances. Heh. Tight lines and thanks for watching!
