10 15 2 hook
Subbed from TikTok!!!
Bait caster for a first rod is nuts you’d hate fishing after your first trip but after 2 spinning rods you’ll have a blast with a baitcaster
I’m thinking of getting a fishing license thing is I may have a warrant for a civil court I didn’t show. I’m saving up up for it. Anyone know if they run you at Walmart when buying a fishing license? Not trying to catch another case.
246 bottom 10 sliver
You need a license to fish?
Do you recommend putting some weights?? Or is it just fine with the bait to go to the bottom
Got caught once with no license luckily he was kind enough to tell me go get your license show it to the judge and I’ll have them dismiss the ticket.
Great video as well.
Bait casters….in my opinio, if you didn’t specifically go in to get a bait caster then you don’t need one and certainly don’t want the headache involved in first using one lol
is the ugly stik gx2 good?
$25 for a fishing license is a steal. Its like $70 in the west coast 😅
Man $25 for a license? Missouri is $12
Net two smaller sliver where is my net for crabs 2 gold color tough meat oz
Thank you for getting straight to the point.
I bought a bait caster after watching hours of how to videos. It took me 2 hours to make about 20 casts in my yard as I spent all my time taking the rats nest out.
as someone who just went fishing for the first time today, STAY TF AWAY from baitcasters 😭
Whats a good 7 foot medium fast action spinning rod
Fantastic tutorial and no argument can be made for your choice of keeping it simple yet effective, LOVED IT!
Only thing you missed was a surface lure. Either a top water frog (a JR size) or my pick for beginners, the classic silver sided floating Rapala. Been using (the double and triple treble hook size) floating Rapalas for over 40 years, they are just amazing when twitched like a dying minnow!
Fuck my Walmart haven’t had this kinda gear since they sold live lobster
Awesome video Wendell but, I highly recommend K&E Bass Stopper rigged worms the non weed less ones. My wife has one tied on one of her poles all the time. She caught monsters on those in small waters. No weights, any color , directly to 8lb line, open face. That’s her go to. Makes me sick lol
I have a question, is it legal to fish in your local river?
Wow the prices have changed a lot in a year 18 and change for the scale now they are 26 and change , 8 dollars higher in a year
Smooth & to the point Video..Thanks
Great idea for a video!
My setup –
1) 6’6" medium power fast action spinning rod & reel combo(Wright & McGill) w/10lb PowerPro braid.
2) 6’6" medium heavy fast action baitcasting rod & reel combo(Abu Garcia) w/15-20lb PowerPro braid.
Got a nice backpack, fits 3 Plano 3600 boxes in the main compartment & keep all my soft plastics in another compartment, another one has scissors, pliers, fillet knife, slip floats, walleye spinner rig tying components, etc… Yes, it’s stuffed to the gills. 😆 LOL
I went and bought the lifetime ohio fishing license, it may have cost almost 400 bucks but it pays off after 18 years, plus i bought it at 18 so im getting more for my money, no price hikes and no worry about forgetting to renew
I like your channel.
I know nothing about fishing, my wife, son and I all bought a license and we just need something for every once in a while…and your channel is very relaxed
Just got my lifetime license the other day, never gotta worry about stupid wardens again
$25 for a fishing license! California is $60 for the year 🙁
We were just looking at some of our Walmart’s selection this past weekend. They have an exclusive Lew’s Rod & Reel combo I didn’t know about that is actually pretty sharp looking in blaze orange colors! Middle of the pack is where it’s at! I know some people have the means and freedom to indulge, but I’d prefer more in the gas tank when towing the 14ft 😉
AND I’m editing this because I opened my mouth before watching and there you are with exactly what I saw.
Hey I just looked up best things to get for fishing and your video helped me a lot thank you a lot
Ive been working for Walmart in AP for years. I’ve worked at multiple stores and never once have we stopped anyone from recording like you are doing in this video. We’ve never had a discussion about it or anything of that nature. The only time I would have a problem is if you were causing a disturbance of some kind. I would absolutely hammer an employee for saying a word to someone for filming if there were no issues while they were doing so.
And as a longtime Walmart employee….get the Walmart app on your phone and scan stuff like crazy in the sporting goods and outdoors areas! You will likely find some incredible deals.
I got caught but luckily he saw me only cast in once with no catch so he just had me leave or purchase a license if I wanted to come back. Went back same day with license lol
Dooood. I just found that lews combo at Walmart and they messed up. It sales for 79.99 it was supposed to be on Sale for 40.00. But they labeled it for 18.99.
I bought 2 and they didn’t care so I went back and got 3 more.
5 rods at 18.99 a piece with a 2 year warranty for another 5 bucks a piece .
Gonna be a great birthday gift for the fishin buddies . Lol
Thanks for opening my eyes to that rod !!
Thanks so much man i have been wanting to get into fishing and this will help alot
lol! That’s Delaware county Walmart isn’t it.
Went backpacking last year up to weaver lake in CA. I did not have my fishing license and figured no game warden would hike 3 miles to a lake to check for fishing licenses. The only thing I caught that trip was a ticket. Ended up having to go to court instead of just being able to pay the ticket. There was no fine written out on the ticket. Game warden said you will need to show up in court to take care of this.
The notice to appear on the sitation was set for 3 months after I got the ticket. Ended up going to court… ticket was $468.00.
Go to hardware section for pliers.
I was thinking about fishing but I am too nervous to go out in public with a camera… Gonna catch some ass instead #ilovesex #ieatass
170 10 second thill 3 8 thill
Thanks for your Video it’s
Gonna help to stay more time with my kids!!!
Thank you for this video!!!
Hi I’m a beginner and your video is the first I’ve seen when I looked up how to buy fishing rods for beginners. It’ll be my first time to go on a fishing trip next week ☺️
Hey Daren, I just randomly ran into this video. He has 120K subscribers and talks about your Kydex keel guard video. Even tells people to check out your channel, pretty cool man! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Iw86u3iNX8
All your information is spot on. The only other thing i would add is the Eagle claw 172 piece bass kit. Comes with all the weights, hooks and bobber stops youll need at $15 dollars. I buy several in the winter and maybe use 1 per summer broken down into 2 kits, Bank fishing and kayak.
Got caught without a license about 15 years ago in PA. I had always had a fishing license every year before that and didn’t go much. Ended up going camping and had a pole so why not try fishing. Well ended up 2 wardens came up and in the end costed me about $400. Will never ever not spend the $20 some bucks again! Even if I don’t go at all that year.
Buying?

Was caught without a license once years ago 600 dlls fee. Never went fishing again 😂 until now and remember to pay, it becomes a fellony if you forget 😮
Haven’t fished in 40 years. Retiring in a year and need a video on how to rig those wacky worms. Also any other really good videos you’ve done on kayak fishing. Just bought the sun dolphin boss 12′ and will need to work on that a bit. Oh, and I have some 3D printers. I plan on designing one of those seat risers you showed in another video. Do you still recommend those?
