Came back to your old video to your fishing setup. I live in Northern Michigan and have Lakes Michigan and Lake Huron surrounding 80% of this State and they are home to some HUGE Carp. I have one 888 setup but plan on buying 3 more 888 setups so I can take my two grown Daughters and one Son in Law Carp fishing. I caught Carp for years and it's something my Son in Law has never experienced. Thanks for showing what you use. I've been a Subscriber for sometime

Thanks for the overview on the 888. I have a baitcaster and a spinning reel for bass, but wanted something economical that was easy-mode for catfish and this looks like a great choice. Showing that the reel had a clicker was extremely helpful.

Right on bro. Whatever fishing gear works that’s all that matters. Another awesome video

W O W ,,, JUST A SUPER CHANNEL,,, THANK YOU JEFF,, FOR YOUR TIME TAKEN TO PUT THESE VIDEOS TOGETHER FOR US,, VERY WELL DONE 👍,, PLEASE BE SAFE AND HEALTHY,,,

2nd fish hit hard for it’s size. Thanks for another great vid

Thanks for all the tips and info Jeff! So helpful. I have mostly fished for bass most of my life, az native, but thanks to you channel have really got into fishing for channels and flatheads. I bought an expensive open face spinning reel but it creates too much line memory on the heavier guage 30 lb test, too many tangles. Just gonna keep it simple and get one of the higher grade zebcos. It appears they have made a great real there. Keep it simple catch more fish. I have seen you pull in some big ones with that real. Zebco if you are watching mr lewis needs a sponsorship, he is the best cat fisherman in town. Going this weekend to pick up that reel!

Damn! You set the rod harder with one hand and I do standing up with two!

aye man i like your honesty i may not use the type gear u use. but u r helpful to many. keep doing what u du.

I have a 888 also, use it as backup reel that I keep in my backpack just in case. But I like it. Great video keep up the good work!

Like your style,I've just late,week,got,me a zebco 888for,38.00 wall mart,thank,bro

Great setup and great videos 👍

Really great video! Love the content and overview!

Love that you keep things simple man! I also like using my spin cast/closed face reels from time to time. Like using dip baits and punch baits as well….Reminds me of my childhood. Great videos Jeff….keep doing what you’re doing! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Another great video Jeff! I always fish near PIR but never seen this spot, I defiantly need to take you to a great spot by the canals you fish out in buckeye you’ll love that spot

Always great vids

I still need to use my 888 reel more often. It often gets neglected because I don't have room in my car to put it. It's attached to a Bass Pro Shops King Kat 10 ft heavy action rod lol

Thanks again for sharing what works

Another great video LET'S GO JEFF!

Great video man!

Nice video Jeff

I tell you you quick on the draw😮

Great video sir!

You are a great fisherman Mr. Lewis. I just wish one day you can make a video using smaller rods like a 5.6 ft, 6 foot or 6.6 ft long rods. I guarantee you if you catch a 10 pounder with a 5.6 or 6ft long rod the fight feels great :)

When I was a kid zebco reels always gave me problems, looks like they have improved over the years, thanks for the video Jeff.

I like the Zebco reels. I don't like the kids reels though. My daughter keeps having issues with hers breaking, but the 888 is great.

i agree with you i have more expensive reels but i cant help myself fishing with zebcos the 888's are a little better than the old 808;s but ive caught a bunch with the 808's. i like the way you keep it reel (pun intended) keep the videos coming

you know what they say. if you love something... let it go. or throw it back lol catch and full send!

Love the vid

i use two Zebco / Quantum BIG CAT XT 60/802H SPIN COMBOs they are my favorite set up

Hey Jeff good video if your ever in the Chandler area we should meet up and fish man.

I caught a 25 pound flathead on a Zebco 808 boss hawg combo and it's a step down from the 888 so obviously the 888 will do it

Great video and setup what u using for bait and why not circle hooks instead on using treble hooks

Last time I'd heard the Zebco 808 & 888 reels , both had plastic ball barings in them ? Not good , if you WAS catching LARGE fish with them ? But, with those small catfish , you'll be fine .

Caught a 30 pound carp with that Zebco 888 about a month ago, also caught a few 20 pounders with it.

Nice

Spin rod instead of cast rod which is for spincast reels. Ol' Whiskers makes both; & cast rod with & without trigger! Spin-large guides/Cast-small guides. But all catch fish!!!

What river is this

Where that location in az

Just wait tell he catches. A bigger fish and looses it and then he's gonna wanna upgrade to a bigger real
