Ozark trail spinning combos are the truth! I bought the inshore 4000 spin combo for like 40$. They are SO underrated!

[@davidsettle8456]

Do you have a link on this reel

[@spencer1252]

CONGRATS 🎈🍾 ON 100k YakPak!!

[@gwenfeitl4076]

Congratulations on 100k that’s so epic keep up the grind Ive been watching for a while and love all the awesome videos you really are the most entertaining KZbinr out there!!!

[@cameronpickens9009]

This reel was way nicer than I thought it was going to be, but durability was a big issue as it only lasted about two months.

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

YP! Thanks for the vid. I got an A rig, a heavy rod and the OT casting reel... you inspire my adventure. Thank you!

[@masonyenor7940]

Yo congrats you’re almost at 100 K 500 more to go. your the most amazing hard working KZbinr I had ever seen and definitely the best one out there. Keep up the great work.

[@trxity1569]

Na not unless off wish

[@TheBeep818]

100% possible... did it two weeks ago to get my buddy into fishing... $30 combo and the basic eagle claw bass fishing kit both at Walmart. with 10 bucks to spare for a couple hard baits if you wanted.

[@joshc6062]

I’ve been here for a long time I can’t believe you hit 100k congrats man 🎣🥳

[@hut95]

Almost 100k subs congrats bro🤟

[@garthokna7089]

I recently bought this combo to play with then give away to a kid I'm bound to bump into when I get back to fishing in spring. Its not completely terrible but you get what you pay for. I took the magnetic brake apart to see if I could smooth it out and discovered a couple things. The chassis the magnets mount too floats on 2 pins with super light springs for tension, I stretched the springs a bit to provide a little more tension, helps make the brakes a little more consistent from cast to cast. The other issue I found is the chassis binds on the pins between the 4 and 8 setting. turning the brakes up works fine but backing down will hang at different spots each time you do it and will suddenly release so it makes the brakes very inconsistent. resetting to 1 then turning back up to the new setting was fairly consistent. The tolerances are so loose that I don't see a way to permanently fix these issues without getting too costly in time and money but with a couple tweaks it is not bad at all for the money. With the brakes working the way they do I wouldn't try to do any long casts.

[@Idkseemskindafishy]

LONG TIME COMING!! So excited we finally get to watch this video!!

[@fishingwithdj_]

Almost 100k let’s help yakpack grow🔥

[@brettalexander6404]

I’ve been waiting for this!!!

[@thaire239]

I bought one for my four year old and put it on a little rod for him he loves and wanted a reel like daddy. Been fun watching him learn

[@ryanskobel4957]

That reel sounds like a jet engine when it casts

[@landonnorman6830]

Every time I see a yakpac vid pop up you already know that it is lit😂🤣😅

[@Bibbet23]

I got this for my nephew (10) to learn to fish on. It’s been great for him to begin and learn with.

[@traviscornish2456]

@yakpak man you're an inspiration to all anglers , thanks for helping me become a better fisherman and a better person . hope all is well with covid! stay healthy and keep up the great videos

[@braedenmacander9995]

Yessss I’ve been waiting for this one

[@dirtysouthfishing3674]

I love you YakPak, congrats on hitting 100k subscribers. Moving on up in the world of KZbin.

[@darinmcvey3064]

I nearly choked on my food when I heard that reel scream like that 🤣

Hell yeah TJ! You are at 100K now congrats!!!

[@zachtchannel3124]

I’ve been waiting for this video!

[@sayuncleordie]

I've never used a reel like that. I think I may pick one up.

[@youngbossgaming2759]

coming from a Ozark Trail fishing user the best line to put on the reel is braided line but use the right pound line

[@camerondonohue6318]

Congrats on 100k you deserve it 🥳🎉👏

[@nicholasmarcum3771]

100k subs Congratulations yakpak.

[@user-kx5po8fz6i]

I just bought this combo today, it was the first combo on the rack and I bought it right out of the box!! I can't wait to try it out!!

Yak Pak is a true legend. He's out here dedicating his time to a Ozark trail combo, yall just subscribe to him!

[@DustyTheDog]

Finally. Someone gives an honest review of this thing. It sucks, but it will catch fish. That is a good conclusion in my opinion. I've used cheap gear and I currently have a baitcaster with a retail price of $250. This thing does not compare to my good reel, but other reviewers seem to act as though it will last as long or offer a good of features. Thanks for your honesty. .👍👍👍👍

[@calicomine62]

Love the videos brother keep up the awesome work!

[@kylemoan5128]

Hell ya YP 100k congratulations

[@youngsky2920]

I just bought same combo and it’s actually pretty🔥🤯

[@hunterm._.]

The people staring at you in the beginning kills me every time🤣🤣🤣

[@davecourington]

I have my original Diawa Millionaire Baitcaster that whines like that when you sling it hard. I have had that reel for over 40 years now and it still fishes good. Also, on the sensitivity of the rod, I think it might be more the cheap line on it. You said you are used to braid, and it transmits a lot better. Still a great review, I have seen them at my Wal-Mart and wondered if it was worth it since it is so low cost. Thanks for the review!

[@mikelisenba9190]

I haven’t bought any Walmart brand fishing equipment in 30 years, but I have bought a couple of inexpensive “name brand” spinning combos, from Walmart. They have held up pretty well.

[@greenberetsdaughter]

I have this one. I got lucky and bought it for about $20. It was on clearance because it was nested. Someone played with it in store. Fairly easy fix, but I figured whatever, good price deal. Its my first baitcaster, learning to use it now.

[@aidanlyons7007]

YAKPAK BACK AT IT AGAIN👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations on 100k Yakpak

Yes bud the video we have all been waiting for let’s goooo yak pak

[@dipster14]

I bought an ozark trail 6'6 medium heavy spinning rod for from walmart for 20 beans a few months back. I think the spinning rod is better than the baitcaster combo personally

[@jrichards1036]

Probably the most requested review of all time. Thanks, buddy.

[@yavez791]

I saw this in my store this past week. I have been waiting for you to test it out.

[@andresfernandez6292]

Surprisingly i found one at my local walmart, really good rod and reel! got it just a month ago!

[@cpat9237]

Congrats on 💯 man!!!

[@Cooper.Crichton]

100k congrats bro

[@rossmeier8396]

Keep up the great content🤘

[@nomaderic]

It looks a little better than the h20 Xpress one I bought from academy. The rod snapped on my second fish. The reel was "decent" for the price. But it was hard to dial in and was prone to backlash. Lasted about 20 fishing trips before the reel broke apart one day. I'd say the Ozark trail is better than the h2o Xpress

[@Armchair_Angler]

Gratz on 100k brutha

[@edarroyo1680]

I consider myself lucky, looked in 3 walmarts near me and found it at the last. There were 2 left and one was damaged. Didn't realize it was a rare find. Great video, thanks for the review.

[@noahnaugle5847]

So glad u finally found it!!!!! I saw one in my local Walmart last week and I was like if only my boi TJ were here 😂😂😂

Congrats on 100k!

[@danieldoyel2554]

I’ve been wondering about another cheep baitcaster combo. It’s made by mega cast and is available in cabelas/bass pro for $55. I own one and am interested in what you will think about it.

[@forddabomboutdoors9819]

Just look at how manysubs you got yak pak good job, I've been with this channel since you were at 35,000 subscribers keep the great work up and continue to make killer content

[@carsonwalke3569]

another day another banger!

[@kadorey3515]

Dude, YakPak I use that reel as my starting reel. I had my buddy who has used bait casters since he was a toddler, the man set it up for me. I fished with it for 3 months and I caught nothing but 5 to 6 lbs hybrids and Largies on it and one afternoon I went to cast my Chatter Bait and the mother-lovin reel exploded in my hand and launched the LURE in the water witch btw was behind the dam.

[@edgar9212]

Finally bout time I have been wondering when this video will be up😂

[@loganbuff839]

Dude.. you hunted that ozark trails baitcaster down boiiiii !!! That's dedication for your Viewers Seriously... Much love as always from SanAntonio TX 👊 keep that 🔥 content coming!! ✌️

[@logannetherton8865]

I throw a 50$ bass pro mega cast and it is just as good as a googan squad gold series

[@bayoufishing1631]

Love the idea great video

[@caseywilson705]

Thank you T.J... now we know.. the scream that the reel was doing must have sacred the fish.. LOL

[@frankiespadafore8269]

I’ve used cheaper setups my whole life mainly because I don’t have the extra money to spend on high end fishing equipment. I’ve had an Abu Garcia Black Max and Silver Max both under $70 and I still have them today (probably have had them for 4/5 years). Also, Piscifun sells really good bait casting and spinning setups. I have a Piscifun Torrent Combo for $40 and it’s the best cheap setup I believe money can buy IMO! Gonna have to give the Ozark Trail combo a try.. Nice Vid!

[@antoinesimpson6671]

Nice vid keep up the great work

[@dvzbassing4680]

Do you think you gonna do the saltwater baits in freshwater

[@rick850angler6]

Hey yak pak could that be potentially a good flipping stick if it was a bit longer?

[@dragracingandfishing8774]

I have the same one i use it for bass and catfish, carry it with me wherever I do fishing

you are almost to 100k congrats i hope you stay saucy

[@earthwormjfishing2362]

You’re the man yak. Would love to fish with you and the gang one day!

[@lagginswag]

Found a one piece red ozark trail im-8 spinning rod, (part of the combo with a quantum throttle) for 5$ on clearance. Definitely stiff for a medium but can come in handy, been using it for a trout setup as well as a finesse bass rig. I shoulda grabbed the blue casting version too, oops. 😑

[@critical_oppzttv5389]

I grabbed the $10 blue one and honestly it's a really nice medium light rod the only thing is the spinning reel could be a little bit better but aye what're you gonna do it's $10 yk

[@lagginswag]

@@critical_oppzttv5389 if u mean the ozark trail wayfarer that everyone uses the one i got is different. much better quality as its actually quantum. its a one piece 6 foot 6 medium. i do have a few zebco slingshots for guests to use, those are similar in quality to the OT wayfarer.

[@fishingwithtidwell8137]

Do a review on the Lew’s David Fritts crankin combo please!! I was looking at getting one but I couldn’t find any reviews on it. Thank you
