The meaning of “The Family Budget Fisherman”

[@zackmorehouse]

This is the best way to do it! Your hobbie should never negatively impact your family.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Yes indeed!

[@macjig5148]

Always enjoy your downloads!! They are very well made and demonstrate your appreciation for high end gear at great prices. Like you, I took advantage of the recent Dicks sale. Picked up some St Croix, Dauwa and 13 fishing products at "give away" prices. Would love to see your entire collection some time. Keep up the 👍 work.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank You So Very Much for your kind words! I’m so glad to hear that you were able to take advantage of those great deals at Dick’s Sporting Goods. They are basically “giveaway“ prices, lol!😂 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@arthurpearson6973]

Just found your channel and subscribed to it. Thank you for your knowledge and common sense.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Welcome to the channel! You are welcome. Thank You Very Much for your appreciation of the content! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@krr6581]

This is the first time I’ve seen your channel. I decided to send your video to my daughter and her husband. My daughter is very frugal. Both she and her husband love to fish and I knew both of them would benefit from your message here. Heck, I even learned a few things as well. I have a friend who is sponsored by Shimano and yearly is given huge discounts on his rods and reels. After one year of use of which he said that the rod and reel was only used about 6 times he sold his Shimano Metanium reel and Poison Adrena rod for $350 Canadian. In the U.S. that combo is about $800 in U.S. dollars. When you do the exchange conversion I only paid about $270 US dollars for a like new $800 combo. I couldn’t believe what I paid him. But I told him I’d buy another combo this year if he hade one again this year.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank You So Very Much! Your kind words and immediate support of the channel are deserving of a standing ovation of appreciation. I certainly hope that your daughter and her husband enjoy the content as well. That was an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE deal you got for that Shimano Metanium reel and Poison Adrena combo! I can just hear you singing that timeless Toy Story song "You Got a Friend in Me" as you shook your friend's hand in amazement! Congrats! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@gregstabryla9945]

I've not been to your channel in a bit, even though I'm subbed. Appreciate all your time and help. Patience and discipline is something I'm working on. God bless 🙏.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

You are welcome and thank you for your kind words. Our Lord is perfecting us day by day. God bless you as well. 🙏🏿

[@RhodeRed-xm5yx]

You have ALWAYS explained how you or anyone else are able to find deals on fishing gear. I’m on the budget side, and your videos show the road to the next level. You did the work to get high-end, Enjoy it my friend!

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so very much for your kind words and your encouragement. Your continued support highlights why this channel exists. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@timmcc1044]

You're doing it right. Don't worry about the haters. I enjoy all your vedios.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank You So Very Much for your kind words and support of the channel! As you may have sensed, there are ALOT of haters. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@alltacklenoboat]

Great stuff, Malik, thanks for sharing this information. Enjoy your videos and appreciate the knowledge you've accumulated over the last several decades.

[@johnmccarthy7931]

Coffee and a new show! Thanks for posting.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

You are welcome! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@Twangtown7]

Good points my friend. I'm always looking for deals. I couldn't believe you still had tags on that 2018 Zodias. But then you mentioned you have 3 Adrenas and now I see why. 😅 And just looking at that Poison Ultima makes my knees weak.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank You So Very Much! One day the cost of that Poison Ultima will be your pocket change, LOL! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@kylewright9399]

Really enjoy your videos. Thank you sir

[@familybudgetfisherman]

You are welcome! I certainly appreciate your kind words just as well.👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@matthewspell416]

Just found this channel, love it! I hunt deals the same way

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Welcome to the channel! Thank You Very Much for your appreciation of the content! Since you hunt for deals as well, I am as good a listener (reader) as I am a speaker, LOL. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@cgfishingandoutdoors9336]

God bless you for sharing your information and experience

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so very much! To God be the glory.👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@justbfrank1]

Sir, you just earned my subscription. This is the first time I have seen a video of yours. I do the exact same thing with my friends and family. I suggest for Christmas, birthdays, etc. Academy and Bass Pro gift cards. I keep an eye on product and keep up with sales and such. I have a bass pro card and love to pile on the points. Going back to view and like your past videos. Thanks so much.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so much for your subscription and overall support of the channel. Thank you so very much for your kind words. I appreciate the fact that we share the same goal of trying not to go broke in pursuit of acquiring great quality fishing gear.👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@marcusgarcia504]

you seem wholesome af bro, im subbing.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank You So Very Much for your kind words and support of the channel!👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Thanks for another video! Definitely enjoy those retailers that offer a veteran discount on top of seasonal sale or regular purchases! Yes and hope Rapala does not tank 13 Fishing products! Hope your family and you have an Awsome weekend!

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support! Aagreed! get the deals where ever you are able to get them. FishUSA seems to have the best "Military & First Responder Discount Program" so far. Blessings to you and your family as well! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@jonathanlewis4151]

this guy says a lot of sense. take note fishing friends

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so very much for your kind words!!👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@paulbohn1971]

Goodmorning to you great way to start my day with your video I do to fish on a budget I can't afford the expensive things love to you and yours frome paul in p.a

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support. I will do my best to keep posting as frequently as possible. Love back to you and yours as well. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@zackmorehouse]

Watching this video for a second time so commenting again. But i love the search for a deal. However I always use them once I buy them, and just sell the old ones. I couldn’t have so many nice rods with the tags still on them.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

That just means I need to speed up my giveaway plans. 😂👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@jesseshepherd2173]

Man I enjoy watching your videos while welding at work work over time to afford my high end rods I buy a lot of mine off American legacy fishing in the used section most of them are rods that they had as displays just got an ex pride for 150 bucks that are 270 to 300 tags still attached!

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support. I will do my best to keep posting as frequently as possible. That Expride deal is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! American Legacy Fishing is an awesome retailer. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@sjerven]

Don’t let the comment section get to you. Your channel should be different than it was five years ago when you first started it and came up with the name. Do your thing man.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you so very much for your kind words and your encouragement. Your continued support builds resistance to the challenges I confront while growing this channel. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@cgfishingandoutdoors9336]

Good morning I purchase favorite rod and reel combos. From favorite USA

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Congratulations! I hope the deal you got a fantastic deal. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@dwightstephenson_fishing5150]

It pays to educate yourself on what different equipment costs. Then you can definitely jump on deals when they pop up briefly.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Well said! That education is a valuable money saving technique. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@ryanh8709]

I like the long episodes 👍

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Fantastic! Then you will enjoy the next three episodes, lol👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@JD.California_monkey_mackerel]

Happy fishing 🎣 Friday I'm a big fan of ugly sticks and Abu Garcia rods and reels I have a old ugly spinning rod it was my fathers rest in peace I cherish it it's my sentimental rod and I have my ugly stick GX 2 medium havey and ugly stick medium action spinning rods

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Oh, yes! The ugly stick will always have a special place in anglers connected with this channel. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@Twangtown7]

I think there's going to be a new 13 Fishing rod lineup coming out that may replace the Envy called the Widow Maker.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

If what you say is accurate, they are going to use their ice rod, also called the Widow Maker, as a model for a full size rod. My wonder is why discontinue a brand new model? The Envy 3 is less than a year old. So far neither 13 Fishing nor Rapala is responding directly. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@Twangtown7]

@@familybudgetfisherman It's very odd. I wonder if they just didn't sell that well or what. I may be wrong on the Widow Maker name. I know for a fact 13 Fishing announced the Widow Maker last spring. It was even on Tackle Warehouse for pre-order. I asked Kyle Welcher and he said they are gonna be coming out with a new line, but didn't say if it was still gonna be called the Widow Maker (as you mention, that is the name of their ice fishing rod).

[@mannyclips76]

I just picked up the brand new pfluger president reel and rod for bfs at Scheels for $100. The reel itself sells for $60-$70. I thought it was a good deal

[@familybudgetfisherman]

That sounds like an awesome deal! Congrats.👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@LarryBoyfishing]

Goid info bro

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank You So Very Much! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@daveengstrom9250]

If you would like to save some money, make yourself an easy to build wooden jig and make your own rods. Its very easy to do and the high end blanks are a LOT cheaper than finished ones. I have made several myself. Watch a couple rod making videos on KZbin and go to town. Easy.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank You Very Much for that advice! There is a member of my church whose nephew is teaching me the rod building technique. I like those Phenix and [Gary Loomis] Edge rod blanks. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@Scrub_Zero]

Im a dink, but I still like the channel!

[@familybudgetfisherman]

I appreciate the support and kinds words. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@perrybeaubien]

FishUSA does not have a rewards program. ALF and Omnia do have a reward program.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thanks for the correction. I meant to say that FishUSA has a "Military & First Responder Discount Program". I should have caught that blooper in the editing and posted the correction in the video. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@vsonic86]

Do you really use all those rods and reels? I have 4 rods and 4 reels, I thought I have a lot.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

No. I give away roughly 1/3 of my arsenal. The other 2/3 are shared between family and friends for temporary use. The reason you see so many rods is because I am always making new purchases into new equipment. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@cgfishingandoutdoors9336]

Try fishing with white Googin Bandido bugs

[@familybudgetfisherman]

I sure will!👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@buckscopper]

Yeah I was drifting away from your channel once you started using $1600 freshwater spinning combos

[@giand5719]

People buy what they want. Live and let live.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

Thank you very much for staying, even if there is more distance between our interests. Since the audience has grown I had to grow as well. Just showing how to get deals on $50-$100 combos would discourage others from watching as well. That said I hope to continue producing content that appeals to you and others who might share your position. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@TojiZenin3956]

I enjoy your gear reviews but how about more actual fishing with the rods you are reviewing.

[@familybudgetfisherman]

That will happen in the future since I now on a small fishing boat, called a Porta Bote. That said, I will compile a montage of videos and photographs of me using the equipment that I review over the last five years. All of the pics and videos are parts of Postings that I have already published on this channel. 👏🏿👏🏿🎣

[@clintperry799]

Man, how much do you spend on fishing equipment? Your wife must be pissed !

[@familybudgetfisherman]

I have a budget That my wife and I agree to every year. It only expands with gifts accumulated along the year. This ensures I don't "piss off" my wife because I stayed within the agreed family budget for fishing equipment. If you watch a few more of my videos, you will be impressed with how little money I have spent on fishing equipment. Thank You Very Much for your question! 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
