My all around setups are a 1980 Mitchell 300A on a 6' medium bass pro carbon rod. Spooled with 12 lb mono. The other is a Daiwa BG 4000 on a 6' 6" ugly stick. With 20 lb braid. I can easily catch anything I fish for with either. Cheers

Long time angler and this is an Excellent and Informative video, I'd like to add for the pan fish rod that sometimes pan fishing takes places in shallow heavily wooded waters and farm and wood ponds are streams in wooded areas, so in those places where it gets tight I'd say a 5' rod, still limber you don't want a lot of spine.

Midwest US, we target Bass (Smallies and Largemouth), Catfish, Carp and occasionally panfish. All we need are the 5’ - 6’ Ugly Stik combos, 8lb mono and either the combo reel or a replacement Trion, Ozark Trail, or Sienna, 1000-2000. Use the combo reel til it wears out (5yrs) then replace… Real anglers don’t need anything fancy.

I was hoping to get feedback from fishing folks about a 2-piece 7-foot medium-heavy spinning rod. I'd high prefer something with cork handles.

I got a 6'6" fenwick eagle medium travel rod and a shimano nasci 3000 for a first/general use rod to use wherever and whenever I find myself camping near rivers, lakes or the ocean in the PNW. Couple questions if you have the time! I'm a little concerned about the all-plastic reel seat on the fenwick, will this be a durability concern over time? Also, could this rod/reel combo handle steelhead and small pink/coho salmon or should I plan on a second rod for that? Thinking 15 lb braid mainline and changing leaders from 6 - 12lb fluoro depending on what I'm targeting. Any concerns with this setup? Am I asking too much of a single rod? Thanks, your channel has been really helpful!
@humbugvideosАй бұрын
@@brendankp The real seat will be fine, however that rod is a bit light for salmon. I’d recommend more of an 8-9 foot medium heavy for that type of fishing. 15lb braid will work for this setup but for the salmon setup I’d recommend 30 lb braid. Hope this helps!
@brendankpАй бұрын
@humbugvideos Thanks, sounds like a job for an ugly stik! Would I be better served getting a larger reel for the salmon/steelhead setup or put the nasci 3000 on the heavy setup and get a smaller reel for the fenwick? 3000 seems like it might be a little heavy for the fenwick if its just for smaller fish, but maybe too small for salmon.
