I have been fishing with the same rod since I was a kid lol. If you are a full time worker that loves to fish you don't need to get this crazy lol. Decent rod with decent line and you will be just fine. Don't forget, it's just fishing, and you should enjoy your day off work, and a beautiful view more than your equipment. Stay humble and be thankful for the days you get to fish fellas. 🙏✌️🎣

I've been itching to get the ESP 7'9" Med/Moderate casting rod. Sounds like it would be amazing for making BOMB casts down shallow banks with a Crush 50/100 or something a little deeper like my favorite Curve55 to cover lots of water easily. I would like to see a 6'6" Med/Mod for close quarters squarebill cranking. Making those tight roll cast. I enjoy being able to come up to a tree in the water on the bank and roll cast a Crush 50 into the gaps and slowly crank down between the branches and I feel like a shorter Moderate rod would be great for that. Get those little fatties hiding in the trees 😅👍

I dig seeing all of the different options and do what I can to get rigs for different sets. My deal is I only bank fish and basically need most of my gear to be multi-use. Would you consider doing a video that really focuses on 3-4 rod and reel combos that cover the full spectrum? To give an example, I have 7' rods in Med, Med, Heavy, and a 7'6" Heavy for baitcaster and my spinning rod is actually a 7' Med Heavy but feels more like a Med, I guess. I need to replace that one with a better rod, soon, though. What would your thoughts be for a situation like mine
