As a person just getting into the idea of fishing, yours has been the single most clear, concise, specific and well explained video I've seen. And I've seen about 20hrs of videos in the last week at this point. I like the 3 methods, I thank you for showing how to ACTUALLY set up the line, weights, hooks and bait, the knots and the casting (only thing you missed is to catch the fish 🤣) but really, from a complete beginner that only bought a rod, the line and hooks and started randomly watching videos trying to learn, I appreciate your intake and explanation of the whole thing. I feel like I can catch more than a cold if I go to the lake now.

[@babygirlhouston]

Thanks for your response, I agree the videos were great! Same here, as a beginner these were among the best so far.

[@coopermonaghan1615]

It's always a banger when Jordan is here

[@lostsoulpix666]

Gold info. I’m a combat vet and the outdoors has been a blessing for me. Took $500 bought a cast master (first ever rod) lures, hooks, weights, a net, all kinda of stuff to get me started. If I ever see this guy I will have shake his hand for the time he puts in making these videos for guys like me who are greenhorns to the fishing game.

happy fishing god bless

[@TexasO9ER]

I love how you show EVERYTHING especially for some guys just getting into fishing. Thanks!

that trick with the loop for the split shot was a new one for me

[@jdfl7151]

It’s amazing as to how this guy actually shows how to set everything up while other you tubers just say what line there using and just say what bait to use

[@kowonkook5401]

You guys are the reason why I started fishing this summer. It's better than going to therapy. There's something about being on the lake and fishing that calms my mind. Wish I found this channel sooner

[@RareFiles]

youre not alone there, brotha

[@trenchtowles3742]

This is probably how my kids see me explaining how to fish without the rewards word for word. The best explanation video I've ever seen. Thanks!

Everyone doing tutorials on KZbin needs to use this video as a guideline. Thank you!

[@Lithui]

Hey, super helpful. Been slowly getting into fishing in Gray's Harbor for a couple months and struggling to figure stuff out. It's super cool to see some guys in the PNW giving good tips for us, I'll be sure to try some of this with my kids next time we hit Lake Sylvia! Love it, keep it up guys!

[@patsytaylor9846]

Great tutorial! Especially appreciate the guidance loading the braid onto the reel. I have struggled with this a few times and ultimately gave up and went back to mono. Looking forward to trying again. Thanks Jordan!

[@dylanaustin9836]

Thank you so much for all of your great information and how you break your tutorial down. I caught my first trout right after setting my rig up just like you did. Thanks again, keep up the good work

I love that folded line trick for running line through the eyes! How many times I've dropped the line and had it run back through...I have no idea. Simple, genius.

[@jaysmith6013]

I’m so thankful for people like you putting out this content and knowledge for anyone to use FOR FREE! I started fishing many years ago and for years I absolutely sucked at it because I didn’t know what I was doing. I relied on strangers for advice and picked up little tidbits along the way. If KZbin was around when I was a kid, it would have completely changed my fishing game. Thank you!

Great info, a perfect primer for beginning trout fishing. Mandatory viewing for my grandsons. Keep 'em coming.

[@Lord.PussPuss]

I’m not going to lie, I’m new to this whole fishing shenanigans and a lot of stuff has been hard learn. A lot of folks on KZbin post “how to” videos that are just blogs of their day, and folks out on the pier might not always have the time to give a newcomer advice. This video genuinely helped me, thanks guys

[@206bGoss]

Just started fishing with my 5yo son and these videos are so well done. As said before, thanks much for showing how to set everything up. Keep up the good work, you're making some very happy kids and proud parents out there!

[@jameskimejr9062]

Good video for beginners. But I've been trout fishing for62 years. I use browning ultralight 5 ft.rods with 4 lb.test Berkeley mono. Don't waste money on lures or power bait all we use is miniature marshmallows on a #8 long shank hook. Put a bead on your line about 3ft above the hook with a 1/4 or 1/2 Oz slip sinker. Cast out lay down the rod in a holder or stick , take a real small bobber and pull in a little line attach bobber, let it hang just above the ground. Fish hits bobber will go up the line, if it comes to the bank the bobber will drop. I take a paper clip,straighten it hang on line other end clip on bobber. I catch 200 trout each year before memorial day in pa. If they aren't bitting that well add a meal worm to the marshmellow.

[@chrisblood4175]

Always like a reminder on the basics; it been so long since I’ve been trout fishing.

Thanks for the video. I'm just getting into this so you showing the basics every step of the way is really helpful.

[@cynthiajimenez9126]

This is the first fishing video I have ever enjoyed to watch. My husband fishes & watches videos. I can't stand watching the videos with him. Then going fishing uggh I've always thought it was so boring. This video made me want to learn how to fish. This video made it look like an actually fun sport. I have never even considered it a sport before. I extremely enjoyed the "how to" and step by step instruction. I enjoyed the explanation and honesty. Especially when you would say, "I use this and this, you an use other brands or methods bit this is why I do it this way". I liked that you explained why you do it a certain way. I have never enjoyed anything about fishing, even my husband buying more bait or rods. Thank you so much, this video was so great, I actually want to go fishing now and learn. My husband has tried to get me to go fishing for the past 9 years, since w have been together and I always decline learning. Not anymore. Thank you for your teaching.

[@JasonCarrara]

I appreciate the how 2s. I live in vt and am lucky enough to have a few good location options for trout within 10 min from my house. I've been watching your vids now for a few days I've already improved my experience quite a bit. Can't wait to get float fishing in the river down. Will save me a lot of tackle and aggravation. Gonna start with bait then move onto flies. Can't wait!

[@georgejessop9860]

After fishing for most of my life for blues and stripers from our 15' runabout offshore up to 6 miles or off the jetties and beach, I decided to buy a rod or rods to use with my ultra light reel, a Mitchell 409 and 1-6# line to go along with my baitcaster. I chose a Fenwick Eagle 56UL-MS-2 a 5'-6" Ultra Light-Moderate 1/32-1/4 oz. lures and 1-6# Line based upon several online reviews. I also bought Fenwick's Eagle travel rod EAG66M-FS-3 a 6'-6" Medium-Fast 1/4-3/4 oz. Lure 6-14 lb. Line for more distance and heavier line as my reel has a light spool and a heavy capacity spool for perhaps 10# braided line. I am sitting out this blizzard of 1/29/22 and loving your tutorial for beginning trout fishing on UL gear. Thanks for starting at the beginning and walking us through the basics in good detail. I'll be looking for more of your presentations.

[@ramzcoldlampin5460]

A couple things: I think this is the most informative and enjoyable trout video you’ve posted. So much information to take in, and presented in a very relatable and inviting manner. Secondly, do you think you could add music links in your video descriptions? I always catch myself bobbing my head to the relaxing beats you play in the background, and I’d love to know what they are. Thanks again for putting out great content!

[@robertbell3500]

If your noticing bites that don't followup switch to a egg weight or some sort of sliding weight rather than split shot. The fish can feel the resistance from dragging those weights on the bottom. The sliding weight will be less resistance when they strike

[@johnbray8855]

I've never seen power bait used with a split shot. Egg weights only here. Maybe he was in a pinch.....

The spinners are awesome but the Kastmaster is my go to for trout. Especially stocker trout. The Berkley atomic teasers with some Berkley trout worms work great for stockers and wild trout! Good tutorial.

[@Jim-vi4hh]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your viewers. I have fished for trout for more than 50 years, primarily stocked trout in reservoirs. I just had an "ah ha" moment when you tied on a barrel swivel rather than using a snap swivel. I no longer need to store hooks with tied leaders! This will be much easier for organization in my tackle boxes! One question is what are your thoughts on the use of a sliding sinker above the swivel rather than split shot when using floating power bait? Thanks again!
