I love saltwater because you can catch big fish so easily and fast , in fresh water im waiting 30min + just for a tiny bluegill while in saltwater i catch a big catfish in 5 minutes
If your new to fishing you definitely need to pay attention to action. It could mean the difference between hooking or losing a fish. Go with a FAST action or at bare minimum MODERATE FAST. If your throwing predominantly soft plastics, then go with a fast action. If you're planning on throwing mainly top water and sub surface baits go with the moderate fast.
Here: get an ugly stik gx2 medium with a spinning reel. Not a bait caster because that are tricky and using a spinning reel is a lot easier. Shimano makes very good reels with some being very affordable and I’d recommend a size 3000 reel spooled with 12lb monofilament line. This setup will be good for bass, crappie, bluegill, channel catfish. It is versatile and allows you to go after most fish species which lets you practice applying knowledge to fishing and getting gear specialized in what you want to do. Lures are hard to get to know at first so I’d recommend inline spinners like 1/8oz rooster tails and mepps aglias size 3, soft baits like 6” worms for bass and 2” grubs for crappie. If you want to lean towards natural baits, just get you some eagle claw hooks (j hooks for sunfish, bluegill, bass, and crappie and circle hooks for catfish) with some night crawlers or hot dogs. This is what I learned with and avoids being overwhelmed with all the gear you are told that you need.
First time I tried to fish I didn’t really understand the weight measurements or how to do anything pretty much. I never had a father so I figure with me having a son who’s now one I should learn these type of things. So I throw to heavy of a weight on the hook and my rod and it snapped. The funny part I was night fishing and again was my first time so I didn’t realize and thought I caught something. Until I reeled it in and realized it was the tip of my rod 🤣🤣🤣 I ended up having to come back the next day and buy a new rod. I learned how to do the essentials the second day how to properly tie knots how to cast better and to not overload my hooks I live in Las Vegas. So about the only decent spot to fish that’s not to far is in Boulder City on lake mead closer to the Hoover dam. But I enjoy it something about just being in nature on the water is amazing and I got lucky enough to have a son who loves water so it works out. Long story short fishing is amazing and a good way to clear your mind and it gets addictive really fast so watch your wallet. 🤣🤣🤣
lol just saying i recently started fishing cause i was going down the river like each week and i got a little ass zebco dock demon perfect rod for a kayak that isn’t made for fishing lmao caught a 4 pound large mouth the other day just saying you don’t need a crazy rod to get started especially if you got a kayak and a pond or reservoir
Something he doesn't say, but if you're at Bass pro, talk to the employees most of the time they know what they're talking about and they'll give you good tips and what you need
I always have trouble putting a new reel on no matter the size always end up having the line loosen up once it’s on the reel and when I fix it does the same thing when casting
Personally I would want to start with a push button rod until you save up enough money to buy a spinning rod and then from there upgrade your spinning rod or upgrade to a bait caster
This isn't helpful for catching a fish at all, the other day I caught a bluegill on a stick and some extra like that was on the ground using some old sardine I found on the ground as bait. I've caught fish with my bare hands, the rod really doesn't matter
Am I honest opinion in the best first rod is one of the ugly stick Shakespeare’s with the cork handle that’s just a 70 medium action two piece that rod is gonna last until the end of time and you’re never gonna grow out of it you really don’t need anything else for freshwater fishing

Imo best place to start is medium light but thats just preference and location ofc
Going to fish for Brook trout this Saturday and I can’t find any sources that tell me what lures to use, any suggestions?

this is a great video! Wish I found it before I had to figure these out the hard way 😂😂😂
You dont want a 7ft rod for fishing trout on a river. Even a 6'6 is kinda big.

Right title for this video should’ve been how to pick a rod or equipment needed for fishing.
I caught a oyster bro💀🥀
I'm knee deep in fishing I love it but I've only been once and on my first day I caught a mirror something.
I really have no idea about fishing. I bought an inline reel online but I live in a tropical country. 🥹
(I'll just make the inline reel a memorabilia once I buy a spinning reel)
“Girth”😂😂😂
This is what I needed, thanks man!

My main rod is 3,6 feet 😂😂
Do u think academy can work

Thanks bro I had no idea how to fish
Choosing a SEVEN foot rod for people who've never fished before is ridiculous.
And sure enough (day11 of asking to be in a vid)
Love the realism. It’s not all about catching fish!
What kind of kayak do you have
is this about rods or meat?

Please don’t show a bait caster reel as the first reel when showcasing a reel to someone just learning how to fish 🤦♂️
