STOP Using the WRONG ROD! (Fishing Rods EXPLAINED) + Fishing Rod GIVEAWAY

[@carlosc3882]

The thing I hate about KZbinrs is complaining about equipment and how they should be better but this guy actually made his own rod. For once he just fixed the issue and he uses his own equipment, I really like the travel size, the bag seems durable. Great job dude !

[@aokdad210]

The Shakespeare Ugly Stick is , by far, my favorite rod! Great price for the versatility

[@HeySkipper]

Looooove the ugly stick 👌🎣😛

[@KRDP]

i love shakespeare excursion its a really good rod, one time i got caught and was pulling thought i was gonna fall backward on my boat and instead my line ended up breaking and the shakspeare rod did not break it actually remained in tact and its strong as can be for a 1 piece rod but the ugly stick is damn near impossible to break it got caught in the door of my car and the top of the rod still works really good, plus i caught 3 pound bass on before with it

[@G-xi6ib]

Ive had my 2 for 20 plus years. There heavy but even to this day, i still use it half the time on the river

[@aokdad210]

@@G-xi6ib, they now have a light AND ultra-light version. Picked up a 4 piece travel rod + case at Wal-Mart for $60!! It's short at 6', but dependable. Give it a try. It's the Ugly Stik GX line

[@1mw4tch1ng]

For surf fishing, I would recommend 11-12-foot pole. The guide size of the pole will depend on what type of reel will be used. For the spinning reel, use a pole with a large guide close to the reel and get narrow as it reaches the tip of the pole. When you cast on a spinning reel the line unwinds from the spool, creating drag on the line which reduces the distance you cast the reason why you need a large guide close to the spinning reel.. For open face reel (level wind), use a pole with narrow guides close to the reel up to the tip of the pole. A narrow guide helps guide the fishing line as it unwinds from the reel to the guides/pole.

[@samnpen1107]

I bought one of this rod and receiving it last night. It is lightweight, very beautiful and convinent to take anywhere for fishing trip.

[@iancaen2977]

9' Ugly GX2 and Penn Pursuit or Penn Battle 4000...most versatile combo.

[@gregarizmendez5275]

I like my 9' off the beach. Sometimes my 11'. Ill use my 7'7 on the beach , jetty or pier for a one rod fun day. I always have an extra reel in the car just in case. I always tell people buy what you can afford and more importantly Have Fun and enjoy life👍

[@brianlewis6444]

I agree with not every rod is for everything. But price wise get in where you fit in. It can get very expensive. Personally I’m a St.CROIX Blackhole guy pole wise . Shimano for the boat and pier. VanStaal for the beach.

[@HeySkipper]

excellent choices imo 👌👌 I can confirm these choices. in fact these are what I used for YEARS! Hope you catch tons of fish on them 🎣

[@calshondrawilliams1820]

I love fishing! I always have used a Zebco for all my freshwater fishing. I just started using an Ugly Stick I purchased from Walmart. Going to fish at the beach and hope it's the right one. I watch your weekly videos! Love your family.

Good starting reel Shimano Sienna 4000 only $30 or penn pursuit 3000, 4000, 5000 all work super great

[@lucasyoung4832]

For a beginner reel, I love the Daiwa BG. Things are bulletproof. I also have a Shimao Socorro that i've had since the early 00s that has never given me problems. The gears are starting to wear out, but replacement parts are pretty cheap and I have fun reconditioning them.

[@kimbersal1]

@@lucasyoung4832 I agree. The BG is a great reel. I have a BG MQ in a 10,000 size, (kinda big), that I use on one of my surf rods, and you’re right; they are great reels!

do not try it on a boat ....

[@dalespencer803]

I recently purchased this very rod. I paired it with a 5000 series reel. I am going to test it with a 4000 series and see how that works. Eventually I will have a 3000-5000 for assisting with the versatility of the rod.

[@kencomeaux1947]

When fishing with a multi piece rod, take a page out of the fly fishing handbook and rub the nodule (the male end) against your nose. The natural oil will prevent the sections from sticking together. Great video, thank you and your crew!

[@KRDP]

neddy here a tip i got, research your laws 1st and find that loophole and learn your laws cause this will help you save so many problems, for example just because its legal for me to use j hooks and circle hooks dont mean its legal for you to use j hooks for certain species, or youre allowed to use certain baits, some states have laws that its illegal to use live worms or that yu have to use artificial baits, otherwise yu can end up with really big fines, another thing is that though it might be legal for me to use any thing i want for bream or catfish doesnt mean its legal to use treble hooks in texas, i know in montanna its illegal to use live red worms for bream, or blue gill,

I remember being a broke high school student, It took 2 months of browsing different stores.. I ended up buying an Ugly Stick GX2 combo for $60! I spooled it up with 12lb mono, caught 6 trout that week! Man, such a great memory. Fast forward a couple years (now), I'm super into surf fishing after watching like 30 of your videos in one night. Looking to grab a combo - but seeing if theres any good deals going on. Thanks for making me reminisce!

[@ryanm4319]

I’m a deal man too! Okuma has a 6000 series reel on 50% off clearance all Summer for $29. I bought one to try, have beaten it surf fishing in DE all Summer every wknd and just ordered 3 more before they’re gone! Spooled it with 30lb braid and a 100ft leader on a 12’ Penn I found on sale can’t go wrong!

[@curiousjericho]

@@ryanm4319 Dang thats a steal! I need myself a surf set up for sure so I can get fishing with y'all. Hey man, in this economy, a "deal" is more so regular pricing or what it should be lol. Just can't justify paying $500 w/ a minimum wage job

[@JAC.surffishing.channel]

So far my favorite rod from Banax for beach fishing..I really like your insight..thanks

[@ericdurst9715]

I've fished different rods and reels. I've learned that what you spend is the quality that you get. Only thing that I'm concerned about your rod is how well it will it holds up over time. The one company that does that style of connection for rods is break away tackle company. But I'm thinking about trying your rod to see how it preforms at the Texas coast.

[@LowcountryMan]

Good video, I am just getting into this sport. Went the Penn route rather than the Ugly Stick just because they had then in 11' at Walmart :) Going to fish these for a bit and see how I do.

The only place where I have fished in the ocean was a river mouth so luckily I just used my regular lake fishing rod with a 4000 sized Shimano. It was a long time ago so it was a Quick fire reel.

[@madtownangler]

I just returned a rod to the store. The label covered up the last guide and I got it home and realized it was a casting rod and I was using it for a spinning reel. I took it back in to Bass Pro Shops and traded it in for a spinning rod

Im a beginner in fishing. Bought a couple of days ago a 6ft shimano vengeance rod and broke it when unexpectedly I caught a big northern pike 😢 it was a good catch though but at the expense of my new rod.

I would like to try one of these, but I do mainly black tip shark fishing. I do fish for other stuff, but I prefer the f fight of the bigger fish so I’m running 80 pound braid on my 8000 and 55 or 65 pound braid on my 6000 series. I have a pin squadron and an ugly stick and a cheap daiwa rod. I’m looking for a better option, but I don’t want to pay a whole lot. The rods seem to cost more sometimes than the reels. It’s like buying a good but inexpensive Knife , but having a two dollar sheath and having to pay $300 for a good leather sheath when you only paid 150 for the Knife

[@justinb2374]

I got an idea for a design, but not the drive to do it. Instead of a fixed length interchangeable parts for 2 or 3 lengths. So you can have a 6, 9, 12ft rod in one.

I am thinking about buying it! Simply because I am supporting small business and I just recently went to Japan and fished with my 7ft travel rod. I realized quickly that I needed something longer lll

Almost killed myself with a cheap 15’ Okuma this year..weighed near 10lbs and was so heavy it was more awkward than my Penn 12’ that it got less distance. It’s definitely a hit or miss game trying to find what’s right from the beach but I settled on a 6000 series Okuma with a 12’ Penn to hit the sweet spot under $200 total each..can’t go wrong with an Ugly Stick tho too! Need to get more floss, best invention ever to keep the bait on!

Skipper, do you have recommendations for ponds and creeks? I know your channel is mostly salt water, but I like both fresh and salt water. Any info would be appreciated.

[@davidsparrow1176]

I use fresh water rods and reels for sea fishing. Also sea rods and reels for fresh water fishing. Same with fishing lines and tackle. I've been fishing since the age of 4 years old. Broken branch for a rod. Piece of cotton thread for line and bent pin for a hook. Used pieces of bread as bait. Caught 4 trout over 2 lbs in weight. That was 57 years ago. I catch fish with what ever fishing gear I use. I have from the cheapest fishing gear and a couple of medium rods / reels. 99% of fishing gear is no better than the next. It's 7:20 just the dumb angler that buys it.
