I like that, a jack of all trades and a master of none.
so for the freshwater a 7ft medium and fast action
??
And also what about an all around inshore saltwater fishing/ surf fishing setup ?
looking for a recommendation for most sensitive 7′ med power fast action do it all budget/budget-ish rod. Thanks (mostly will target bass/pike/steelhead with it, maybe walleye)
Really informative and straight forward. I’m getting back into fishing after putting it down years ago and needed a good starting point. Thank you.
Great videos. Keep up the great content!!
My all around setups are a 1980 Mitchell 300A on a 6′ medium bass pro carbon rod.
Spooled with 12 lb mono.
The other is a Daiwa BG 4000 on a 6′ 6" ugly stick.
With 20 lb braid.
I can easily catch anything I fish for with either.
Cheers
Thanks my guy this really helped me get 🤟🏽🤟🏽
I got a 7′ Kastking Cruxis spinning rod reel combo. It handles like a champ was able to land anything from crappie to carp so far.
😭why rapala is getting way too expensive now?
Thank you for this vid 😢

What rod and reel and what size of reel would you suggest for Northern pike, walleye, perch trout and gold eye?
this was the best video I’ve seen on this topic! thanks for the info bro
What do you think about a 6′ 6" gx2 over a 7′ gx2 medium spinning rod
Great work bro! 🔥
Great Video! Thinking about Ugly stick elite medium heavy and a shimano Nasci 3000 targeting bass, pike and salmon. What are your thoughts?
So a couple ultra lite set ups. A few medium rods. A catfish set up. A few surf rods. some carp rods. And a few combos you dont use much but hang on to and collect dust. Got it.
Ugly Stik Gx2 on a Shimano Sierra is a much better combo IMHO for a budget angler . . . as the differences between the $50 Nexave vs the $30 Sienna is unnoticeable from a quality/ feel standpoint.
I think for me my two rods are either Johnny Morris Carbonlite 2.0s or an Ugly Stick. Reels I’m playing around with.
You can’t use one rod for everything
what about fishing in thailand where i live and go fishing
Long time angler and this is an Excellent and Informative video, I’d like to add for the pan fish rod that sometimes pan fishing takes places in shallow heavily wooded waters and farm and wood ponds are streams in wooded areas, so in those places where it gets tight I’d say a 5′ rod, still limber you don’t want a lot of spine.
Thanks man, great video and recommendations; I appreciate the info and I went with the Pflueger President 30 reel with same brand rod combo at a 6’9" medium/light…. cause I only catch smaller fish mostly, lol! 🎣
Awesome vid. Thanks for giving my love a shoutout. Lol
What about action? Does fast or moderate make more sense when targeting panfish, bass, and trout?
I’m thinking Okuma Ceymar 25 or 30 and Ugly Stick GX2 6’6 medium rod will be a great all around setup.
So I check that shimano Sedona and there is many options on the for example 500, C2000s ,4000 what is the difference in those? I am looking for exactly what your talking about, a good all around rod and reel(mainly for under 10 pound catfish and the occasional 15-20
You cant do allaround fishing just 1 rod &reel ,sorry
what about ugly stick gx2 with a pfleuger president
does the size of the reel really matter
Have you tried the new version of the Sedona ? Vs the last gen…. I think they’re both very great reels from what I can tell… I have two in the 2500 size and both buttery smooth
this was just what i was looking for. thanks
Recommending straight fluorocarbon line is not a good idea for beginners. 6lb monofilament is the way to go.
I’m that guy, one pole for everything. I’m getting a VanFord reel, was wondering what two poles would you recommend under 200 for everyday fishing?
I was hoping to get feedback from fishing folks about a 2-piece 7-foot medium-heavy spinning rod. I’d high prefer something with cork handles. Two piece is non-negotiable, but there is some wiggle room around the 7 foot length, but I don’t want something 6’6". My budget is about $150. Any suggestions?
Is 5’6 to short or fine
It’s not that I don’t want to have 40 rods
I just am broker than a homeless person😂😂😂😂😂
STOP TALKING SHOW ME THE ROD
one of the best youtubers of all time I asked about a rod for my situation on Instagram and even though I was a pain he kept replying and was nice the whole time and gave me a recommendation
this guy is great and I can not say a bad thing about him
I got a 6’6" fenwick eagle medium travel rod and a shimano nasci 3000 for a first/general use rod to use wherever and whenever I find myself camping near rivers, lakes or the ocean in the PNW. Couple questions if you have the time!
I’m a little concerned about the all-plastic reel seat on the fenwick, will this be a durability concern over time? Also, could this rod/reel combo handle steelhead and small pink/coho salmon or should I plan on a second rod for that? Thinking 15 lb braid mainline and changing leaders from 6 – 12lb fluoro depending on what I’m targeting. Any concerns with this setup? Am I asking too much of a single rod?
Thanks, your channel has been really helpful!
Great video! But who doesn’t want to have 40 rods and reels?!?!?
Yeah you talk too much.
I have 4 rods in less than 3 months lmao and I still want another one.
Great Video on rod and reel combo. I enjoyed the breakdown and the price range. I am planning on one more combo and you gave me good info to think about
I run 5 different sizes in the Sedona and love them. They have never given any trouble,but l always clean them after saltwater use and lube every 6months.
thanks for simplifying this.
So for an all around set up you mentioned a medium power but what about the action? I was looking at a 7 ft medium power rod but it has alot of action options
Finally, someone answered my question. Thank you!
Midwest US, we target Bass (Smallies and Largemouth), Catfish, Carp and occasionally panfish. All we need are the 5’ – 6’ Ugly Stik combos, 8lb mono and either the combo reel or a replacement Trion, Ozark Trail, or Sienna, 1000-2000. Use the combo reel til it wears out (5yrs) then replace… Real anglers don’t need anything fancy.
Ugly stick, medium heavy, with a quality bait caster. Best combo ever.
