Good morning. I hope today is a good one!! ✌🏾

This is the kinda video that is awesome for us kayak guys that can only bring so many combos. Good to see that some of the stuff I already have is way more versatile than I thought 👍🏼

You can do a lot more than you think. Everyone gets technical about it. 6'10" med expride Popper, finesse underspin, 3.3 kietech, jerkbait, finesse Texas rig, kietech football jig, blade bait, TN50 etc. That's a lot of categories I've done perfectly fine catching fish on. Braid to leader or straight floro. Did it today and caught smallmouth in the 2.5-3lb range noo problem.

@colingordon5950 it's a great rod. Moderate action with a fast tip 1/4-3/4. I've done great with a lot of baits and techniques. Jerkbait, 3/8 megasbass blade bait, Shower blows 77.7, 3.3 kietech on 1/8oz flashy swimmer at Clearlake, 1/8oz 1/0 Texas rigs just flippingthe bank, I've been throwing the small TN50 lately with no issues. As long as you don't over work the rod and fish it can do a lot. Just let the rod load and get the fish in.

@colingordon5950 now I'm thinking how many little cranks like a Megabass Z-2, spro Rock Crawler 50, 4" wacky senko.

I remember starting out 3 years ago and using 2 $30-$40 spinning combos from Big 5s and thinking they were good enough. 6 months in I bought a Mojo Bass Spinning rod per TB recommendation and never looked back. Now I’m at 10 combos averaging $500-$600 each combo.

One of the best videos I have ever seen! The entire series is top notch. Thanks

Awesome video my dudes! I'm in the middle of a rod and reel search and the past two videos have been absolutely perfect. Thank you!

Great meeting you guys this morning!!! I can’t wait for more information about my blueback herring lakes! Thanks again for all you do and teach!!

Excellent, as every of your buyers guide! Thanks for entertaining us….

Nothing better than tactical bassin premiering a movie to kick off spring angling🫡

I really enjoyed the content this week, thank you!! 🎣

Awesome breakdown guys. Really enjoyed and much appreciated!

I love how much you guys geek out over tackle.

I can confirm on the NRX+. I did the same thing...then ordered 2 more. Because of you guys.

Excellent breakdown, thanks guys!

Just me, I use a 10-12-15 wrap Albright line to leader knot, never had one fail, no glue. Casts like a dream on micro guides....... YMMV

I appreciate you opening my eyes to the MBR. I love them. Gonna pick up another one soon.

Great video. Loving the BFS coverage. A side benefit to BFS is it keeps the deck nice and tidy.

I learned so much from watching your entire series.

excellent series...excellent job !!

Love the buyers guides. I always spend to much money but still love Um 😂

Excellent Video Guys!!!!

Banger! Straight 🔥

Fabulous video thanks very much

Check out the shimano teramar xx sw 7ml. It’s a major sleeper bfs rod!

Hey Matt and Tim l watched your tackle review on the bfs system so I purchased a dobyns Sierra series rod and curado reel on your recommendation got it from tackle warehouse and I absolutely love it thanks so much!

I just picked up a Daiwa Tatula SV TW and paired it with a Megabass Lavante Perfect Pitch. I love it.

I’d love to see a video where you guys break down the Expride line of rods and applications

Went to Expride years ago on your rec. Love them. Slowly replacing all my rods with then, except for cranking. I like Curado rods since they tend to be softer and more parabolic. And for bang for buck, you could definitely throw Curado in there. For the price I prefer them over anything else in that price point, and would take one over zodiac all day.

It was great to finally meet y'all at the classic , thanks again for the glide bait tip and for signing my hat 😊

One rod in the Orochi line that you wouldn't think was versatile because of its technique specific name is the Jerkbait special. Besides being an incredible JB rod, it's good for topwater, smaller squarebills, and even some mid cranking like the Deep -X 200's, Rock Crawlers and Wiggle Warts. I'm a JB nut but it had never occurred to me to try it for cranks and squarebills till Randy B said he doesn't use it for JB, but rather as a squarebill rod. I figured if a guy on the Megabass team, who can use whatever rod he chooses recommended it for other things, it was worth trying. Randy was spot on! Anyhow, the JB Special paired with an Aldebaren is a special rod!

I also throw weightless senkos with my JB special and its awesome. I don't have really heavy cover so it works great !

Good way to start the morning. Now it's time to go shopping for some rods and reels

I got a good test on my Xpride 6'10 medium two weeks ago when I fought and landed an 18lb Striper on 10lb Invizx! The Shimano Curado allowed her to peel drag while maintaining resistance until J was able to tire her out and she broke off one treble from my jerkbait and bent two others out but she still ended up in my cockpit floor! 🤙

I am slowly converting my rod line up to all 13 envy black and fate black. I think those rods for the money are amazing

Terrible decision

this is the kinda awesome video for anyone mate :)

I really appreciate that you showed rods and reels separately. Combos are cool but sometimes I want to move reels around on different rods to see where/what they do best

@flynnryder7798

Жыл бұрын

I agree. I’ve found that I like to spend significantly more on the rod than reel, so the videos where they match the price of the two don’t work for me. From a $100 rod to $200 rod, I notice a huge difference. From a $100 reel to a $200 reel, not so much.

Bang for the buck?? I like that idea!! You need to add this to the Black Friday buyers guide as well! Lol Great Job Fellas.

I have recently bought IMX Pro’s and some expride I’m super excited!

Great video guys. As a Northern guy who adores my GLoomis NRX+ line. I must say, the Megabass P5 Destroyer Wind Buster for an all around is continually blowing my mind. I find it more difficult to find what it doesn't do well. Only gripe is the grip being a tad small, but I also feel that contributes to its incredible sensitivity. Such an unbelievable rod I keep 2 rigged differently on deck at all times.

@hunterbull7804

I absolutely agree with you. The only thing I think it doesn’t do great is nose hooked drop shot. They made something magical with that windbuster. I know it was designed for casting hardbaits into the wind, but I really hadn’t thrown any on it until one day I decided to throw a 110 on it and was blown away

I bought a Piscifun serpent heavy fast rod. I love it. It’s very light and very strong

Can we get some chatterbait vs soft swimbait and spinnerbait vs chatterbait videos. Maybe wacky worm vs shaky head. Stuff like that? Like when is the best scenario to throw certain baits.

I splurged on a curado 150 MGL reel... couldn't be happier with it I wish I could afford a whole line up of them... be easy fellas✌

This is perfect. I just had all 6 of my rods/reels stolen 😢 Now i have a guide to go by for replacement.

Was thinking about the St.Croix legend glass, not crazy about that color but hearing good things about it...

So when I originally bought the Zodias 7'5" med heavy I got it for jigs, Texas rigs & swimbaits etc. I did however use it for finesse A-Rigs before you guys even came out with them or even talked about it. I did the 1/8oz heads in 2020 because I wasn't ready for full size A-Rigs. I needed a rod more versatile & apparently its great for it haha.

I like your idea of heading up north for some baitcast smallie fishing! Come to MN for some smallie fishing on Mille Lacs Lake…I’d love to join you! 😊

Got me wanting to pick up more gloomis rods. I have the jig rod with a diawa Tatula limited edition and love it. Probably my second favorite setup behind my duckett j wheeler jerk bait rod and diawa steez

Since I don't have the ability to have a single rod per technique all the time, I must say that my Exprides are just STUPID good for a couple similar techniques. 6'10" Med Expride with a Chronarch MGL for jerkbaits, flukes, topwater poppers, shaky heads, dark sleepers braid to leader. I just change the leader to Fluoro or Mono depending on the technique. 7'6" Heavy Expride with a Curado DC for Heavy Swim Jig, Swing Head Jig braid to leader, and it is all thanks to you guys introducing me to them!

Hey guys love the buyers guides. Have you ever done a buyers guide on two piece rods? Traveling in a car sometimes a two piece is necessary.

Daiwa Rebellion has a whole 2 piece line up in the $200 range for casting rods. It's hard finding 2 piece casting rods past the $100 price point unless you go JDM.

Great video. Bassmd

Thanks guys one quick question. I'm headed up to Clearlake your old stopping grounds next week. It's gonna be rainy conditions what would you recommend I throw?

Dobyns Champion XP are a great line of rods too.

Hey guys! Been following the channel for years. Will y’all put out a video on fishing for bass during the bluegill spawn? I hear about targeting them during the shad spawn and the bass spawn all the time but I’ve never seen content related to the bluegill spawn. Thanks!

You guys read my mind with this specific content🙏🙌🏻👏🏼Just bought a victory-st croix and I just love it 🥰 I am definitely about to by some 7 inch swim baits for this rod, thanks again guys. I want a frogging rod that’s heavy for around $200? Any suggestions Tim or Matt?!

Not Tim or Matt, but the iRod Genesis III 754F Magic Stick is an amazing frog and heavy jig rod.

Long time subscriber first time commenter. Always look forward to the weekly content. I’m a better angler because of what you guys share. I’m a bank fisherman and love how you mentioned the versatility of the 844MBR for topwater, fitness jig, spinner bait. That’s what I need out of the rods I carry. I’m looking to upgrade my Dobyns DX743c to Gloomis, my question is GLX 844 MBR or NRX+ 844MBR? Any major difference between the two?

I think the GLX is where you’d want to land. I haven’t fished either model in either line, but that’s just my take.

Thanks!

Just bought my 1st Mojo Bass yesterday

Making final decisions for a good chatterbait rod to buy pre tourney season. This video dropped right in time

I wanna know what you guys think of these new googan rods, I’ve seen them everywhere they seem to be nice rods but I wanna see what you guys think about them before I decide to buy a few new rods for new things, such as a soft plastic bait caster combo, which would be best for that? Reel ratio and rod action and length

Awesome tutorial as usual, guys! One question I have is, what do you think of the Milliken rods by 6th sense?

I picked up a 6’9” medium heavy zodias spinning rod last year for a vanford by accident, thinking I grabbed a medium. Ended up loving it but I get where light/medium light/medium rods come into play but I rarely see or hear about medium heavy spinning rods come into play for bass. I’m guessing basically the same techniques as MH casting rods?

What snaps do you change your chatter baits to when you are fishing heavy cover in Florida?

ENTsportd makes a 7ft 2 piece ultralight rod that is perfect for BFS reels. It comes with a medium heavy and a medium rod tip. I have caught 10 pound channel cats on it with my Aldebaran bfs. And it only costs 29 dollars. It's just as good as my dobyns ofcourse not as sensitive but it gets the job done for the price

what do y'all think about the megabass levante braillist? saw it in a tackle shop in my area and you guys have always raved about the orochi

Hey guys! How do you guys feel about the Zodias 6'10 M for a jerkbait rod? Would you guys recommend it over the standard Curado? Thanks

Need to try out the Edge EfxPro BFS/DSR 🔥🔥🔥

Matt got me into the MBR action in gloomis

Any thoughts or input on Ark rods and the new Gravity series Reels from Ark?

Id love to know your guys opinion on the Savage Gear 3D Shine Glide i have personally hooked giants on it but would love to hear your take on it

Really liked the vid of your 400 dollar combos buyers guide a few months ago that I picked up a curado mgl and I have noticed it feels sort of “tight” if you know what I mean it just doesn’t free spool at all even with spool tension and brakes almost completely off. Wondering if you have any idea what’s happening

@tacticalbassin have you tried Ark's lineup of rods and reels yet I'd like to see what you think of their products

I’m already counting down to this years Black Friday sale!

Curado 150 mgl & Expride B casting is my most recent set up. Got when tackle warehouse has sales so save a lot $. It's been absolutely amazing. It's worth saving for better rods & reels. I know those aren't top of the line by any means. But for price & functionality. I'm not sure I need anything more.

On the subject of Daiwa BLX’s, have y’all used the 7’4” MH LG? I’ve been eyeing those for a while as a chatterbait rod if I can find one on sale. I know Jared Lintner likes it as a lipless crankbait rod

Awesome video. What are your thoughts on the Curado 150 SLX DC, really the DC series? Too many bells and whistles? I have one then later went for the Lew's Andy Montgomery 6'10 and accompanying Pro SP. Is the Curado I have still a good reel for most situations?

Have any of you guys tried the expride b 8’ xxh? Wondering if i can use that for umbrella rigs. I already have the 7’ m, 7’3mh and the 7’11 h

What pound test and brand of braid do u guys normally use for spinning

I was thinking the t wing system would be better for connection knots. Is there a baitcaster that you can recommend that’s best for connection knots?

I love the buyers guide series never stop

I know you guys recommend the Zodias 6'10"MH quite a bit, but what about the 7'MH? Seems like the extra length would help with casting distance without making it too cumbersome on a kayak. Specs are identical between the two, minus the handle length. Any thoughts? Thanks!

What do you guys think of the jdm bait grip joint compared to just 1 piece , or are they all bait grip joint ? . I like it , 2 piece that can leave it set in 1 piece , 7 H is miraculous.

Holy shit they actually included Daiwa this year

How would you describe the difference between a “Regular” action like the Gamakatsu rod has, compared with say a “Moderate” action or a Crankbait rod? How do they differ/how are those actions similar?

Man I used to fish an ok amount when I was younger but man I have forgot everything and I’ve just been looking for fishing channels that help and y’all’s are great, so I was wondering if y’all have a beginner freshwater fishing guide or anything to that effect. Thx

Very suprised you guys have not talked BFS & The Chatterbait Micro! Sleeper setup with a 2.8 trailer and 10 lb braid.

I purchased a Shimano SLX A 7' medium heavy 2 piece rod based upon your beginners/advanced series last year. Thinking about pairing it with the Vanford 3000 reel from Shimano. I've fished off/on for years, but really still at the beginning stages. Is this rod and reel combo something you would recommend for a beginner still? Noticed this particular rod didn't make the line up this year, maybe cause it's more on the budget friendly side. Also you recommend the Nasic 2500 reel, but I thought maybe an upgraded reel maybe more beneficial. Or would you recommend that Nasic over the Vanford at my skill level? Still looking for that good overall coverage that you mentioned in your beginners/advanced video. Tks.

I am looking at the 13 fishing omen black gen 3 in kayak (for kayak use) but also the st croix bass x or doyens fury all in MH F from 7’-7’3”. Leaning towards the omen unless someone can give an argument against it

Thx very helpful

Was actually looking at the flat side special. Is it worth it to go up to the orochi? Going to use it for shallow cranks 98% of time

We need an INDEPTH video on line. I visited a few tackle shops this past weekend and there was A LOT to consider. Seaguar fluoro alone seems to have 4-5 lines of different line that I have all heard mentioned. Please & thanks!

Do you have recommendations in travel rods? Going on an international peacock bass fishing and wondering if I can do something other than than take an 8foot rod tube.

nice of you to take the high road and only concentrate on the best so easy to fall into the trap of oh this one's junk etc. i always wondered the line wt. on a rod refers to what line to run but does it also refer to how much load it can take before breaking? say you caught a 12lb large mouth on a Dobyn ultra finesse 2-8 lb line wt rod.

Hey fellas, what casting rod would you throw a Megabass Okashira Screwhead and 3” Spark Shad on ?

Yall should try the TFO rods. They have many good options .

I need a new chatterbait rod I currently have a dobyns 736cb glass and recently I’ve fallen in love with zodias. Is the 7’2” glass zodias lighter?

Hey everyone, looking at getting my first Shimano baitcaster. I’m having a hard time picking between an MGL 150 and DC 150. Looking for something that can cast lighter baits really well as well as something for cranking.
