The ONLY 3 Rods You REALLY Need...

[@danjarvis4885]

I've always said if you can work in the cold you can absolutely fish in it and which would you rather be doing when you can choose. You're doing a great job Mark keep the information coming buddy

[@DJsworld16]

When I can’t go fishing do to weather most days. I’m on here watching your videos for tips to make me a better fisherman. Keep them videos coming!!!

[@Briarhake418]

Great video Mark! It’s hard to go fishing in northern Ohio right now bud 20 degrees out. Have a great holiday season!

[@buddymccormack8668]

those are 3 good choices, If I could add a 4th, it would be a 7' to 7'4" MH cranking rod something that can do everything from a squarebill to medium divers, lipless crankbaits, and topwater walking baits.

[@travismullins26]

Good video man well spoken especially the last part about getting of couch and go fishing lmao. I loved that

[@aaronbrady2623]

I really love this video. I have somewhere between 16 and 20 rods now. And a lot of them are really nice combos. But I remember a day not too awful long ago where I really had to mind a budget. I can’t stand videos where they come on and tell you you need to buy high-end rods to be able to fish with. That just isn’t practical for a lot of people. And I also love they get off the couch and go fishing comment. Thanks, Mark.

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Much love bro 👍🏾

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Sure do appreciate you for telling about the technics for each rod👍

[@floridasaltlife]

You got me with the get off the couch line, easy like right there !!!

[@SoSaysYou]

Great info. I've gotten used to 7'2" rods, M-MH, for all of my general purpose applications. Ardent makes a really nice and affordable 7'2" MF baitcast rod and Sixgill used to carry a really affordable 7'2" MMF spinning rod. I mostly use these three rods.

[@Basskingdom7]

Glad you made this video! 7ft MH is the best all around rod for me! Can’t wait to see you fish next year on MLF!

[@boomboomoutdoors2020]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos to help us out. I live in the Midwest and spinning rods are the go to! Keep dropping knowledge 👍

[@alphazeke]

Thanks for giving the action of each 👀

[@LucidoMafia]

MDJ awesome video as always. Good luck to you in the upcoming year. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family. Much respect from Japan.

[@alejandroquiros2910]

Love the show up and up

[@trevorschneiderfishing]

You always be in the comment! Fantastic close out my boy! Tight lines on your upcoming trip!

[@vernonneal7050]

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Be Blessed!!

[@donbarks6712]

Preach brother

[@Sydney112498]

Excellent choices..I personally am not good at finesse fishing so I would grab a flipping and pitching rod..the last rod you talked could also be a F&P rod..

[@jerodjmoore]

Excellent video Mark-it makes it hard for people new (or not new) to the sport to assist with rod choices. My wife feels my “arsenal” is too large (we all know that’s impossible lol)-but your choices were spot on. This time of year and others you can save So much money with clearance and deals and be ready for next year.

[@hajaziz5030]

My guy thanks for the advice.,, love yur content.,, !!!

[@ellisbenning7551]

Yes sir, needed this

[@donbarks6712]

Good vid bro excellent dialing of rod choice

[@farrzmd3038]

Great video. I don’t as much attention to powers as I do actions. I like a 7’0” M / F spinning rod and then for bait caster I’ll go one rod Moderate - Moderate fast (parabolic), I prefer closer to moderate fast. Then the last rod fast action. Rod powers I’ve kinda gotten away from because hook diameter and line diameter have become more important to me since there doesn’t seem to be any consistency between brands in what they consider M, MH, or H. I have H power rods that fish like MHs and MHs that fish like Hs. So I’ve gone to relying on line diameter and type to achieve what I’m looking for. Braid tightens a rod up and mono loosens a rod up, with fluoro being more neutral effect. …. My thought is to find a rod manufacturer you like and then work within their series of rods to find the rod actions your seeking.

[@chrisdizzle313]

Appreciate you MDJ!

[@jamesashley3827]

Thanks

[@RuggedOutdoors]

Great video, thanks Mark. One thing, what was the action of the 3rd rod? I got the length but never heard (I read the transcript also) the action.

[@DLPfishing]

Great stuff

[@kyle85x]

Mark can you do a video on the CA delta I know you crushed it out here and I’d love to hear your thought on baits and seasons! Love the content brotha! And Merry Christmas

[@charlesstanley264]

Think I missed the action of the 3rd rod?? The first was med heavy casting second med heavy spinning...3rd 7ft2 in to 7ft6 in....action?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

My bad it was Heavy action

[@charlesstanley264]

Thx I have a heavy rod that I bought for froggin but have never used it...seems so stiff and heavy,,..maybe I'll give it a try

[@brantleylaird833]

Great video. Could you do a video about tips for high school anglers?

[@trevaughnjohnson9638]

I needed this

[@striperswiper]

Thanks for the video. Did anyone catch the action each rod should have?

[@sammo8556]

Great stuff. 👊🏾

[@billljones979]

Man great video. I fish mostly out a canoe with 4to 6 rods, at a time and no doubt a spinning outfit makes it, then 7ft mh then 7ft 4 h and I like throwing big baits so I bring a nice 7ft 11 cranking stick, but if you have them 3 you Def can go out and get it done

[@trevorphillips0430]

Good pointers I'm debating whether or not to get me at least 2 more baitcasters

[@richjones9962]

Thanks for the info also where did you get that rod rack . MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@richjones9962]

Where did you get your rod rack at? Thanks

[@The_reel_archer]

Where you get that awesome fishing rod stand!?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Custom build

[@mw8270]

Yo big cheese those rod racks are flippin sweeeeet, did you get the blueprints/plans to build those online? If ya MacGyvered those puppies up then props there, I tried building one but it turned out straight buns

[@jasonhenson4711]

Man I really struggle narrowing it down to 6 rods when I fish something like a Toyota Series as a Co. I guess I have certain rods that I like for certain applications, add into that not knowing what we will be doing or what I might be able to capitalize on that the boater might not be targeting.

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Tournament fishing makes this a lot harder unfortunately

[@OKIEOUTDOORS9044]

So what was the power/action of the last rod? Bc they dont come in "meat and potato"

[@DetroitFishigan]

😢 but my couch 🛋️ is so comfy in the winter time 😂. Thanks for the break down big dawg 💯🤝.

[@alexandernguyen7834]

Mark! What rod rack is that??

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Custom build

[@chrissmith2305]

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Custom built

[@chriscurtis8577]

I went to Walmart and got myself a baitcaster with directions to buy a big Castro when there's large patches the whole thing good morning have a copper top water good price aircraft

[@jasonmausteller2488]

[@secure152]

Joker said get off the couch!!!! 😅😅😅 If that didn’t hit home!!!

[@bryantwinbush4495]

What rod holders are those

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Custom built

[@hajaziz5030]

What about the gear ratio mark.,,

[@amberwilliams8240]

👍🏾

[@bryanbacos]

lowkey flex @ 0:50

[@kumaboyy.7443]

you are funny,but true! my ass is planted, too cold outside! 😅

[@adrean8j]

Mark....you never said the action for your 3rd rod 😂. Was it a heavy action?

[@MarkDanielsJr]

😂😂 Talking too much 7’3” Heavy 👊🏾

[@nethiabrown1508]

Hey fam what's up it's your boy Bass Master Brown I have several of seven foots rods 6/6 6/8 I just order me a new baitcaster motor and I'm going to put her on a 7/3 ABU Pole do you think that is a good choice hit me back and let me know okay fam.

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Sounds good to me boss!! Best of luck 🤙🏾

[@JustFishingTV]

Don't be a wisherman, get off the couch go be a fisherman. Top three 100%

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Yessir 💪🏾

[@NFiltr8Red]

1……….. Good fishing line/braid 2………. You better be a good angler I have $1400+ Rod/Reel combos and I’m not Brand loyal either, but know how to is key. I’m 100% sure I can still slay fish with a $100 combo from Walmart.

[@Lowlowbassfishing]

Can see where and why they don’t ever sell hex rods lol dudes got ton of them 😂

[@noahledbetter3969]

Can't catch a bass sitting on the couch!!

[@tkim2205]

I think you are confusing power for action. You haven’t said anything about action (moderate, fast, extra fast).

[@Triple87]

If I’m taking 3, I’m going a 7’4” medium heavy, 7’0” Medium heavy spinning, and a 6’10” medium. Thats going to cover the majority of tackle I currently use.

[@MarkDanielsJr]

Sounds about right 🤙🏾

[@earniederboven5100]

Yes i use 7' rods all day med hvy to med moderate works great

[@JoshKlein-y3g]

Mark I'd love too fish with you
