[@meenanambiar2248]

*I like the way it feels **enjoyable.fishing** recommend and cast, time will tell I only used it once but it seems to work well....*

[@craigwavra3495]

Great video explaining these different rods. It’s time to start a “ask the pro” series. I always have more questions after watching these videos.

[@Soundofwindonsand]

Florescent Pink nail polish us on the tip of every ice rod I own, that weren't already florence tip Make sure to explain that to the guy at the register, it helps keep down rumors in town

[@mattjohnsonoutdoors]

Lol. Good point!

I use only Medium Light rod now. I use to use light/ultra light rod for small fish. But their have been time when I'm catching small fish with my light/ultra light rod and out of no where here comes a big fish and just snap my light/ultra light rod. You never want or ment to let that happen but it does happen.

I use the One Rod ! ... It is 100% Reliable ! ... It catches All my fish ! ... It is great for Lakes , Rivers , Shore and Boat ! ... The tip moves when there is a bite , Automatically ! I don't have to do anything special ! ... Not sure how good it is , but it Works ! It is the One for me ... I Love it ! ... Its Versatility is Unlimited ! ... Plus , you can get it anywhere ! .... People with Two , Three and Four Rods have more Money than Brains ... The One Rod is All you Need ! ... KISS ! ... :-D

Nice video. I just bought 2 of these. Wondering where I can get one of those sweatshirts your wearing. Really like it. 👍🏼

[@mattjohnsonoutdoors]

Unfortunately it was one we made a few years ago. Not sure if it’s made anymore? If I can find some I’ll let you know...

[@xGR1MxREAPERx]

@@mattjohnsonoutdoors okay. That would be great thanks.

[@thomasrobinson2058]

Thank you. Really great information.

[@huntersutton1502]

love love your videos just wish the audio was better

[@farhenheit628of1200]

Only had two ultra light rods. Just bought a medium light rod so i think i got everything covered.

[@JFetcie-n-Fishing]

great video man give you a follow after that

[@rushintofishin81]

Great video but why didn’t you explain the action of the rods you use for different situations? I would like to know

[@lukem2492]

What are your thoughts on getting “the one rod” as you called the ML and then adding a titanium spring bobber to it for panfish jigs? Any cons using this over a light or UL springbobber rod? I feel like this would truly cover everything up to bigger jigging minnows

[@mattjohnsonoutdoors]

That would work just fine. A ML rod with a quality spring can absolutely work for panfish. I actually prefer a L action rod for spring bobbers

[@mattbrott7127]

What would be a good rod to use when using a Jawjacker and going for Pike with a quick set rig? Some sort of medium action rod?

[@garymarch4711]

#5 jigging raps... Anybody have a favorite rod recommendation for that? Not sure if a #5 would warrant using a med light or medium. I wish ice rod manufacturers would specify lure weight ratings and whether they are slow, moderate, fast, etc. Action... Like they do for open water rods.

[@mattjohnsonoutdoors]

The tough thing is that everyone’s ML and M can be different as well. I’d probably fish a M with the #5 as I prefer a slightly stiffer rod with my swimming lures. I’ve also fished a Dead Meat rod from Clam with my swimming lures (smaller sizes like the 5 on down) as well...

[@jimrosenfeldt4589]

On the medium lite rod. What would be the best length?

[@fishingwithhoffman7365]

I use 1/16 oz for big sunfish and perch and walleye what rod i need?

[@mattjohnsonoutdoors]

You can get away with a ML if you had to. I’d lean on L for the panfish/perch though. Also maybe look at the Dead Meat rod with the quick tip and solid backbone… might be just what the doctor ordered!!

[@dossip2882]

Did anyone count how many times he said "Spring Bobber Rod" ? lol

[@shootermcgavin991]

Action vs power. Dude?

[@jjcjr009]

Say "spring bobber" 10 times,🤣

[@LundyYT]

"i'm jigging my deadstick" wtf?????????
