Great advice!! How about a segment on knot tying? your fav knots and such

[@tinastaley625]

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

[@appleimac07]

I second the knot tying video.

Another great vid Tom! Running all 13 rods this season up here in Saskatchewan. Hoping to pump out some walleye videos - so always enjoy your educational content.

[@craigwavra3495]

Loved this video. Always interested in how they classify these rods. You explained it very well.

[@reelangling9108]

Thanks for all the info Tom, you always provide great intel and know your stuff.

[@jbaustin1962]

Dude your hands down my favorite guy for solid walleye info... nail it everytime thanks

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Love those medium lite rods! Great application break down.

[@timw711]

Just picked up a Pisifun rod. Thanks for the discount Tom! Luv the content.

[@marcplaisted460]

Always excellent videos! Thanks.

[@polaris6293]

Yes would be great to see how you tie onto jigs, blades, etc. Thanks Tom!

[@jasonheitritter6564]

You are the man! Your knowledge is incredible and videos are on point! I have been following you since last year and thru the hard water season. I was really hoping to put an elusive eye in the Omaha metro waters top side with your help but have been unsuccessful to this point! Starting to think they are not any here but I’ve seen pictures. Your videos keep me positive! Thanks for everything you do.

[@dallasinsko3686]

Super ! Appreciate the info . Thank You Tom !

Great break down of applications and rod differences.

Tom just stared watching your videos i'am hooked Thanks

[@toronto.adventure]

Great video. Thanks Tom

[@adude3179]

You sold that mojo so hard back in the day, that I'm already stocked up on those for Walleye!

[@thecookieicer6179]

LOL same! Those bass mojo rods are hard to beat for the price. LOVE St. Croix!

[@randyprice1831]

Me too!

[@shane6232]

I second that, and for the use and abuse my rods go through 120-150$ is enough

[@tylerrutherford4556]

I bought one and the carbon x 2000! Wana be like Tom! Getting back into fishing. Always liked fishing, just never knew how to fish. Thanks Tom! Keep pumping em out brother. God bless

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Great video awesome information

[@kdhag99]

Picked up 2 Elliot Rods Friday to fish with on Red Lake for MN opener. 7'3 ML fast and a 7'3 L fast! I'm now totally an hooked on them! Also paired them with Piscifun reels! I asked a guy at Elliot where to find them. He informed me that a shop close by was receiving an order. Call the shop and bought them over the phone. I also made sure they knew that Tom Boley's KZbin videos were the reason I want to try Elliot Rods!!

[@jamielucchesi6057]

bro, I can't fish so I guess your the next best thing...nice footage on all your stuff. Love that Pendu jig, and your knowledge is killer broski. I do planer boards on Koshkonong down here down south. Love the eyes....love them.... Elliot is the brand? I run all, or most of my goto's St. Croix. Very nice boat...Love the duct tape job on the holder....superb. My grandpa would be impressed...Love the videos for sure

[@madfishing32]

I usually use 7ft medium action Shimano rod (sojourn) with 8-10lb test for fishing for walleye. I find using a bigger rod or heavier action rod, it isn't as much fun as feeling the fight on a lighter rod. Love your videos tho man, I've used a lot of of your tips on catching walleye.

[@theamerican7131]

devils lake, north dakota checking in with a thumbs up

[@ericchap5369]

Tom, I always appreciate the insightful tips you provide us anglers. As much as I enjoy watching you on the water and anticipating the glimpse of your catch after hearing "hooked up, fish on!," take a day off, stay home in your office, and please, please make a video about attaching your fluorocarbon leaders to your braided line. This angler wants your secret. I've tried many types of knots for it, and been frustrated with so many videos/articles explaining technique, that you would do this fishing community a favor by walking us through your technique. Keep up the great content!

[@alexgreen7897]

There's so many knot videos on youtube man, I don't think Tom does anything that special honestly. Double uni, double surgeons, whatever. Just cut the tags short and you're good. Ideally you don't have to reel it through your guides much and they aren't real tiny ones

[@Himes26]

Small barrel swivel works fine, instead of having to learn a line to line knot. I do really like the rp knot, goes through line guides a lot smoother than double uni knot, but it’s a slightly more advanced knot, one you would want to tie at home, not on the water. Works great for braid to fluoride and is also the best for mono backing to braid.

[@brentbusick2245]

I just use an Albright knot 👍🏻

[@adamfronius0038]

I'd also like to see a reel video. I know you use the carbon x alot but it would be great to see what else you enjoy using. It looks like you have a pile of the Viper reels as well. Thanks for putting out great content

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Love your vids

[@ericb862]

Hey man. Great advice on rods. Been looking so great timing. Just curious what is the action on the two medium Lites? I know there softer but I’m used to hear moderate or mod fast. They are different so wondering just how soft I should get. Thanks man and keep up the awesome videos. 🍻

[@eleganttilemarbleco.1734]

Great advice. The more I fish the I see the right equipment is critical to success ! Hooked Up Fish On! Any thoughts on downriggers ? Haven’t seen u fish with any or talk about them. Stay warm !

[@jamiehartzell5286]

Great information love the breakdown if you could gave one rod which would it be.

[@briancain4255]

I bought the Piscifun Carbon 2000 reel on your recommendation. Tremendous performance! I got the St. Croix Mojo Bass rod thanks to you again. Now I must buy the Elliot rod WTF 😬

[@Eli-rw1lk]

Is the piscifun carbon still treating you good?

[@davidlove2055]

Great information... I used to use one rod for everything, and I didn't mind it, but with the right setup, it makes u a person better, so now I have multiple thanks Tom... so quick question do u sell your old equipment..?

[@leonardmartin5145]

Gonna think I'm nuts but I use a g loomis 7'11" light action pro green salt water for small jigs and blade baits!!! Just outstanding.

[@greglubinski7423]

Tom, if you had to pick one rod that would apply in all 3 situations what would your choice be?

[@theicyz6565]

12th... Time to turn the bell notification on!

[@robertmaloney567]

Have you had good luck with Carbon X reels? I run Shimano but looking at picking up a 7 ft rood as you suggest and might as well get a new reel lol...

[@lukeeckert4346]

Do you tie line to line for your main/leader or use a swivel?

[@DANMOTYL]

What knot do you use for braid to fluorocarbon? And what size reel are you using?

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Médium light I’m gonna look for thanks

[@920fpv]

I've been rocking doomsday 45 rods... I wish they made a 6'6 to 6'9 spinner for jigging tho😑

[@shootermcgavin991]

Have you tried Sunline X plasma Asegai braid? I really like it. Super smooth and thin

[@xCruZChaos]

What pound test you running? I found that line was super wiry for how thin it was. I like my braids a little more on the limp side, so I stick with super slick v2 or Berkley x9 in 8lb.

[@shanehlavachek7575]

Not related to this video , if I waypoint fish on SI will those Wp only show up on map screen? And how do you think it would wrk to have them available on the SI screen?? I run same Helix 9 gn3 you have shown in past vids!

[@tylerhuerta9199]

Great video! Where’s the hat merch though!?

[@charlieschiffman7017]

What brand of braided line do you use?

[@brodieanderson6511]

Bro ur like the KVD of walleye fishing

[@carllanciaux1295]

Awesome video!! I have a st croix eyecon 6'8 for power fishing. Im looking for a more finesse rod,rigging,jig rod would a mojo bass 6'10 med lighr xf be a good choice?

[@shane6232]

St.croix with the xfast or even the fast action tips are fairly stiff for finesse presentation

[@kevinharen307]

Tom can I buy the carbon x 2000 right from you?

[@wickedvic6953]

Nice 👍

[@tafb8]

Hey Tom, so is it safe to say these 3 rods would be listed as: 7'6" Medium power (w/light action tip) 7'3" Medium power (w/light action tip) 6'9" Medium power (w/fast action tip) ...or as: 7'6" Medium Light power 7'3" Medium Light power 6'9" Medium power (fast tip) ...just for more clarification? Because there can be a world of difference between a Medium power rod and Medium Light.

[@wiscofun3028]

When are we going to get some more Lake Superior stuff?

[@TomBoley]

This weekend I believe

[@alandavis4885]

Hello from Kentucky, Tom! What size Carbon X reel do you prefer? Im planning to buy a couple combos for my son, and can't decide on the 1000 or 2000 models. Thanks!

Do you have alot of problems with the flouro breaking off when catching the toothy fish

1:15 - "small-eye" rods. 😂

[@_1COR15.1-4]

Do you prefer 2 piece or 1 piece

[@thecookieicer6179]

1 piece no doubt!

[@shane6232]

One piece unless u need it to fit in a car or motorcycle or ect.... i will never buy a two peice again, 2peice crap always comes apart and moves and you probably get better sensitivity with one peice!

[@rewadena4371]

Lake chips?

[@thecookieicer6179]

LakeMaster most likely with his Humminbird units.

[@donovanjohnson8471]

Do you ever use just mono on a rod?

[@randyg1524]

I believe he said he'll use straight mono when he is snap jigging with raps or the acme hyper rattles. I was wondering the same thing.
