Part two???
What is your go to set up

Fishing is all trial and error. I didn't start catching fish until 5 months of practice and dedication
I feel like location, weather, and baits could be just as important
Took me around the same time to consistently catch fish on every outing
I caught a pike on my first cast, it's all depending on weather, location, baitchoice and even some luck comes in to play
@@billyschannel997 you learn what works with all those through trial and error, everyone gives different advice on the three
I love how this applies worldwide. It took me around 4 months to consistently get a fish here. First 2 months I got a total of zero fish. Third month I got 2, fourth month I got 9. From there on I got strikes after another.
I feel this, I didn't have a dad or a mentor to teach me. It sucked teaching myself I almost gave up all together. Having good people teach means the world.
Same here
Same man but I’m learning so I can teach when I have kids
Are you catching fish now though? Or did u give up?
@anitharobert5207 no I didn't give up in fact after talking to old timers I learned new skills that really helped me
I asked a guy for help and he helped me choose my first fishing rod and maybe next week I’ll go fishing with him. He was a stranger but now a great friend
REMEMBER TO NOT GET A BAITCASTER WHEN STARTING
I was looking for this comment😂😂
I mean... There's pros and cons for both, and after a little bit of further watching/reading, and learning how to set up and tune, they are just as good for beginners.
@@SurakuHirano Idk even with lots of tuning and teaching it still takes time to remember how to tune and set up and those things take trial and error to actually come into effect. You can’t just watch a video and then be able to cast a baitcaster
Is it that bad?....
@@team3d180 Yes, because you'll be creating an art piece on the first cast.
My first ever (decent) rod was a Medium Ugly Stick GX2 spinning rod and reel combo that I got for $49.99. One of the best rods I’ve ever owned. I’ve caught a 27Lb flathead catfish on it, a 28.5” Brown trout. Hooked a +5ft sturgeon. Still one of my go to rods to this day. Reel needed to be replaced after about 2 years of daily use but man did it ever put up a fight. It’s the only rod I’ll recommend to a new fisherman
Love this guy bro
i can confirm. if youre a newb, buy a Gx2. i like the 6’6 or 7’ length
@@BobbyGloBeatz yeah mine is a 6’6” 2 piece.
I love the ugly stick
Ugly stiks all day.
Fishing is one of the best hobbies you can have, honestly rn I’m still learning what kinds of retrievals and lures to use during certain times, locations, and time of day, I’m decently experienced but still learning
Hi mate I’m trying to learn to fish as an absolute beginner and I don’t know anyone who fishes - any advice?
@@Podders1991 do you still need advice?
@@deception9671 i do
@@coreosad2261 well what do you have to fish with do you have any rod or reel?
@@coreosad2261 ROD: Spinning rod between 5.5-6.5 ft, Medium or medium light (I recommend going lighter so you can get a better feel for the lure when it’s in the water, more precise control and you’ll feel more confident). REEL: get any cheap “spinning” reel with a gear ratio around 5.2:1, you don’t wanna go lower than 5. (make sure you get a spinning rod and reel, NOT baitcaster). TACKLE: buy, “EWG hooks” and whatever soft plastic lures look the best to you. Maybe a crankbait or two. As long as you have patience you will be catching summertime bass in no time with this setup
Fishing is lifelong learning. Been fishing for salmon/steelhead for over a decade and still learn more every year.
When I first started fishing I used to use a random wooden rod with a long piece of twine with a hex nut as a weight. The only proper thing about it was its hook which was storebought. Moral of the story is that you don’t need anything special to start fishing but a passion for fishing and then you can move on to better equipment.
Man I remember shen I was 14 and my dad had some weights and hooks from when he used to fish. I tied the line on a gatorade bottle and pick out night crawlers the night before I go fishing. Its all just practice on your fishing skills to get catches, that was really fun. Thinking of getting back into it now that I'm 21, miss how relaxing it feels to be fishing with friends
Same, we did have regular rods but when we fished with worms we used "rods" that were wooden sticks with line
Shoot, when I was little they gave me a stick with some line with split sot and hook on it.We we're on a boat so I just had to go straight down.
When I was a kid that's good enough for us and we cut a piece of the rubber flip flops as the indicator if the fish is biting. Hahaha.
Same
"GIRTH, i mean power"😭 love your vids man
Number one tip for people new to fishing: You can't catch fish in water with no fish in it! If you have no luck in a particular spot move somewhere else to cast instead of just waiting in the same spot all day.
Man fishing is the only thing in life that makes me smile so much, I started fishing like 4 years ago and there’s this park right behind my house with a lake that has huge carp and bass, also has bluegill and catfish. After my first fish I stopped and only started again just 5 months ago. I’ve never had so much fun in my life and it makes me appreciate nature a lot more. So beautiful and I catch fish every time I go now.
@screechingducks1846 Amen brother! It just makes life better
what do you use to catch carp and bass and bluegill ?
@@missjean86 I usually use worms, night crawlers are very good if you’re cool with catching anything because any fish will go for these things even turtles and frogs
I never understood why fishing was so popular but my son wanted to start and so i deep dove the subject and now im more keen than he was!😅 still havent caught anyrhing but we will persist.
I love catching fish, but just being in the outdoors, seeing other wildlife, and taking in the scenery add so much more to the experience.
Your videos are pretty cool. I enjoy watching them keep up the good work 👍
Thank you for this simple explanation, so many tutorials throw around words and jargon making them super hard to follow, but this one actually made sense
A big pointer I would offer is consider either WHERE you want to fish or what TARGET SPECIES you're after. It's easy to get confused with so many options. All you need to know to get started is roughly what size and pattern of lure to cast, and how to guess where they might be. Let's pick a species Northern Pike for example. You can often find them near weeds or sunken trees. Lures like a classic 5-of-diamonds or a larger spinner bait (Mepps Aglia for example) are known to attract pike reliably. Head out to your local lake and have at it! It WILL take trial and error, that's all part of the journey.
I went sturgeon fishing every weekend for about a year before I finally hooked on and actually got it to shore! I just kept at it and kept getting better gear and I've caught countless this year! I caught a 10' 2" last Wednesday and it smoked one of my reels but that's all part of the game!!!
I'm still learning how to fish I've been fishing most of my life and still learning I didn't know about the different types of fishing rods so thanks
Eh, fishing is mostly trial and error
Me too, been fishing since I was probably 5 (18 now) but I never really learned proper techniques or ways to use lures until recently, I always just used a hook with worms and a bobber or used a spoon to cast and retrieve
Also, you need the right rod and the right reel for the fish youre fishing. For example, for trout, best rod is ultralight, 190cm-200cm, reel gear ratio 5:2.1...
Not for beginners bro
Not 100% necessary man
The first step is on the water! Angling is a skill that must be practiced and honed. Understanding what you are fishing for and what bait you will use will always help you catch fish.
Just started fishing a couple weeks ago and I love it
Sienna is a great beginner reel. I use them still and I've been fishing my whole life. Ive landed 40+ black drum and 35 in reds on the 3000. I can lend them to friends while fishing without being scared.
One thing that can help is a guided trip. Fishing with someone experienced can give you important knowledge and information, as well as a few fish for extra confidence.
My rod must be an ultra light because the tip is super sensitive lol
Beginners. Best one is a medium light for bluegill, bass and crappie. I got one as an all rounder. Now I wouldn’t use it for larger fish but it’ll handle everything thrown at it with some extras.
These tips will definitely help someone. 👍
If your not that serious in fishing, want to get a cheap rod to test the waters (both figuratively and literally), or want to get one for your kids but you think they might break one, Zebco rods are really good starter ones! They are affordable, some can detach to fit in smaller places, and a great starter rod in general, but they are not the strongest ones and you might want to look into a better reel, I’ve seen zebco rods for pretty cheap in the fishing section at Walmart, and bass pro shops almost in every location
the best advice for a beginner fisher the literal best in existence, is to start with a good friend who also happens to be a very experienced fisherman that way they can provide you with equipment, knowledge and help untill you are ready to go fishing on your own with your own equipment
Please do not get a 7 foot rod for your first rod. 5’6” to 6’6” is a much better starting range especially because most beginners are gonna target smaller fish like bluegill etc. a smaller rod is easier to transport and lower risk of getting caught in overhanging trees. Just my opinion tho
Thank you, this comment really does help me as a newbie about to buy her first rod!
Oh the irony. I got a shorter rod but still managed to get my line stuck in a tree on my first day out. 🤣🤦♀️
@@spindleblood Haha its okay, happens to everyone no matter how long they have been fishing
More like this please! I’ve been hiking for years but just started fishing and it’s so hard getting information on what to know and what look for in gear
Where do you live? Also, start with a spincast, a zebco 33. About $25. Make sure it's a 33. If it's more than that, you are not getting the right one. Don't spend less either. A ten dollar reel isn't really a quality thing. Let me know, I'll set you up.
@@peterolbrisch1653 I live Denmark. And thanks! I've been going trout fishing a couple of times the past two month, and i'm planning to do a lot more at the end of the summer. Any recommendation and sharing of experience is very welcomed
@@falk9769 Ok, that's a little different as I generally don't fish places that have trout. How big are these fish? I know there is lots of information available on the net I. how to catch them and how to rig or set up your pole. If you are going after the bug ones, you might have to switch to an open face reel because it has more line capacity. I imagine that in the fall spawn sacs are a popular bait for trout around here, I don't see why that wouldnt work there as well. Anyway, I'm more of a generalist, carp, pike, and channel cat are the most prevalent where I go,vso a spincast reel is good enough. What I like about a spincast reel is it gives you an option o. how you reel the fish in. I've been backreeling for as long as I've been fishing, it seemed to make more sense. Most people adjust the drag and use the reel to fight the fish. That means the drag isn't set as tight as it can, it somewhere below that so the fish doesn't break the line. The problem is finding that happy place where the drag isn't too tight or loose. When you backreel, you don't have that problem as you set the drag as tight as it goes. When a fish is hooked, the fish can take line and make runs at will, and you use your pole to pressure the fish in. Your reel becomes basically a winch when you backreel. So what you do is put the drag as high as it will go. When you
@@falk9769 Oops. There is a little lever that you flip that locks the reel so you have to flip it so line pulls out from the reel without any resistance. if you don't unlock the reel, your pole can get dragged into the water by a sizable fish. You know you have it right when you pull line out of the reel and the handle spins.
@@falk9769 More later.
Light spinning combo. Nightcrawlers, #6-8 hook, split shot, bobber. Cast near structure like a log or dock. Leave plenty of hook exposed after baiting. Wait for the bobber to go under and stay under, then gently lift the rod while reeling in to set the hook. For a small lake or creek this setup should work well for bluegill, and potentially almost any other species. Some of the best times i had getting in to fishing were the first days finding a nice school of bluegill and catching them all day long. After some time you will learn to target specific species, but the chunk of worm on a hook is a great place to start.
Hey brother I love your channel. Even the KZhead shorts are 🔥 fire!
All around rod: 7' Ugly Stick Elite 7' 2 piece Spinning rod Reel Pflueger president 30 or 35
I live in wisconsin and up here you can get around pretty well with a 6'6 medium action spinning rod. The medium will cover walleye, bass, mid sized pike, crappie and other panfish really well. Pretty much anything you would actually wanna eat 😂 youre taking a bit of a chance with the largest of fish but you still have a fighting chance lol
Ever since I've moved to Colorado, my old 4.5. Foot ultra light action rod has been my go to choice for most of the river fishing I do. I prefer it because its just compact, solid construction, and i have to weave through a lot of brush, but i dont like collapsable poles. Looks like i caught a goliath grouper when any trout over 10 inches hits it lmao.
Can you make a full vid on this stuff, would be cool
please
My first fishing rod I got is when I was 7 it’s an ugly stick with around 5,8 feet long, using a spinning reel with 2-4 pound test line. I remember I would use this to catch bass, crappie, bluegills, catfish, and trout, it’s does a very good job and it’s best used for kayak fishing, the biggest fish I caught on the rod is a 12 bass female the fight lasted 20 mins, and a 10 pound catfish. Due note I only use light line because it’s a light rod and I like the fight so I have my reel lose. My other rod I have is a Japanese made rod and a Japanese reel, it was quite expensive but I’m looking for good braided line so I can complete the set for striped bass and sturgeon. Good luck with fishing people
My favorite is 6ft light rod, perfect for wading and almost all freshwater situations, then I keep one medium-heavy rod that was my great grandpa's
in my opinion the best thing to start with is a whip rod. try getting a 8-10 foot one , good for starters , caught a good little breem when i started and accidentally caught a mirror carp.
If you want to bass fish start with a baitcaster on a medium light, medium action 6-7 ft rod
Dealing with all the rats nests will ween u out reel fast. Start with a baitcaster though. Its worth it
If your area has heavy vegetation go with a medium heavy medium action rod
Pretty helpful. Thank you. I just purchased a light weight 5ft pole. 😩 Wish I saw this video before I did that. 😂
I just bought a 3000 shimono Sedona and seeing it on your pole makes me even more confident!
9 foot 1-3oz and a 4-5000 reel is a good daily driver to get into surf fishing in the northeast. You can get these setups used right now on Facebook etc for next to nothing. Rinse the reel after every trip. It will change your life. 30 lb braid 40 lb mono leaders is a good all around size for line and it’s cheap. I use 40 lb braid and 40 lb flouro but flouro is expensive and not required. Start with mono leaders and save the money! I have caught 30+ lb fish in current on a 9’ tica rated .5-3 oz. 40 bucks used. Early on in my surf journey it was all i owned. this sport doesn’t require a ton of money to get started. It costs a lot to get a full set of high end gear and plugs, into the thousands, but that’s not required. Eventually you will want a heavy rod to get big plugs or jigs into the wind, a light setup for inlets and schoolies or a boat, and your daily driver 9-10’6 footer for the jetty and average wind and water days. I use a 200 staal now to daily drive but I still have my 4000 and 8000 BG. Otherwise the only mandatories are a good set of pliers with a lanyard, a fish grip, and I highly recommend proper footwear on jetties or on the rocks. The sport is Extremely dangerous when you’re out alone or at night or in big water. Start out with friends and in small water and work your way up. I will see you out there and I’m more than happy to help.
I love fishing bough I don’t know much, luckily friend helped me buy a pole and decent reel 250/309 total plus like 59 bucks in lures and hooks.. just need to make time to do it.
The only lures you need as a beginner that I’d recommend are johnson silver minnow spoons, which work for jigging and cast and retrieve, mepps in-line spinners, and Teckel sprinker frogs.
This is great info for basic bass fishing
For asians out there, he meant to say ' A dried bamboo stick, nylon string, lead weigh, a fishing hook and a floater which is usually made with a piece of your flip flop. Don't forget bread works best!
Bruh I be keepin that 6’6’ light pole on me 😂
The Shimano Sienna pictured here the best budget spinning reel imo. They're ultra cheap from Walmart and perform 90% as good as Shimanos way more expensive offerings.
If you want to buy a first rod, a medium weight spinning rod at about 8' that can cast up to an ounce will give you the most versatility. 20lb breaking strain braided line is a good place to start to.
2 things: I want to start using a bait caster, tips on that and how to cast? Also, are there any good fishing spots in Newton, MA (I saw u fish in Massachusetts)
If you want to be technical the fist step is reading up on the local regulations and catch limits. As well as making sure you have proper licensing. Then other stuff lol.
Type of reel/style makes a huge difference for different people. Never fished before enclosed reels have less nests and you'll spend more time fishing than fixing string issues. Zebco 202s for 20 smackers you can't go wrong. I have 3 for when I have guests.
I would start with 5-6 ft ultra light rod with 1000 reel and use 1/10 oz jig head with a 2 inches swimmer, it'll help teach newer people what bits feels like and you catches everything with a 2 inch swimmer
Just got back into fishing yesterday! Got myself a new set-up! Ended up getting a 6ft daiwa sweepfire pole with a daiwa crossfire LT2500 reel! The set-up itself only cost $50 n it works awesome!
Rod lengths completely depends on what you are fishing for and where you are fishing, if you want to fish in a creek you should go with a 5-6ft ultralight or light, fishing off the bank you should probably go with 6-7ft if there’s lots of brush along the lake, set line fishing should be 7-9 feet depending on the casting room and your comfortability
This man's doing gods work! Thank you!! So helpful!
I feel personally that many fishermen today use to Heavy rod and way to heavy line. Not just bass fishing it’s also carried over to inshore fishing. My bass set up for Texas rig is a 7ft medium action casting with 15 pound test max I talked to a kid the other day that was throwing a weightless worm on an 8ft heavy with 50 pound braid. I laughed then apologized for laughing.
thank you so much bro keep up the good content.
In my country we used makeshift rod without reel only with wooden spool thing, it was very fun and we don't stress about the rod specs
i would recommend a medium heavy still has flex can cast everything you want i’ve always used them that’s jus my preference though
Normally beginner fishermen fish for lighter stuff so a medium heavy won’t be as necessary for beginners. Just my thoughts
@@michaelg8841 your right. Medium heavy for beginners is way too much. They probably won’t catch anything on medium heavy unless they are fishing for catfish. Medium light would the highest you should go if you want to catch fish with lures.
started fishing when i was 8 on my pink mermaid themed fishing rod that started off as one of those walmart toys. some guy came up to me and taught me a technique of sorts and by god id catch a fish every time after that. cant remember what he said, wish i could because the amount of bass i hooked was phenomenal. respect to that dude
I just started pike lure fishing again. I bought a 7ft medium rod casting weight 10g - 30g.
I wanna know what your favorite topwaters are if you could do a vid on that it would be amazing. You are very informative and your advice makes us all better anglers!
Yes, sensitive tips. Gotta get them floppy tips.
🤨
hey! i recognize your first baicaster your showed! that Lews combo is dope bro, i’m about to go get it myself!
And, if we're talking about luring a fish, you better soak whatever fish lures you have in a stinky, pungent bait(shrimps, worm, etc) extract. In a spot where there's a little number of fish, they may come to you. Or, just go to popular location.
I'm not a beginner but I'm no expert by any means. But I've been catching fish off of old rods and reels that some old guy dumped on me for free lol. If you keep your eyes open for deals it's easy to get started!
Action is important because if your using heavy line with a lighter rod and a huge fish hits your rod can break if it’s a fast action rod
I feel blessed that I was born into a family that owns a fishing lodge.
Also you can compensate for a rods shorter length and less casting distance by using a reel made for casting far.
This isn’t a fishing tutorial. This is a rod buying tutorial.
Then u got me fishing a 5 foot rod ultra light catching 5 pound creek smallies I lied my dad just took all my rods up North but I use a 6,6 medium light but for pike and muskie I like to use a medium heavy, but using that 5 footer was so much fun catching those big creek smallies idk again it’s all preference and how u like it
Naw then you got me going crappie fishing with a three foot ice fishing rod.
I think a 6’ medium heavy is pretty universal. I would never recommend a 6’6” or 7’ for someone first rod, not necessary
that sienna shimano.. 🔥🔥 fire ass combo for like $50 too!
Its a great budget reel
Great info. One of these days I’ll get into fishing
Fishing tutorial for beginners: proceeds to show a bait caster….
That's what I said! Lol I was like uhhh, should probably let em know to get a different reel.
That reel you showed when talking about the length, I have the same one it is a super good reel I highly recommend it they sell it at sportsman’s warehouse
I carry an ultralight and medium. For river fishing I often will just use the ultralight also in some lakes. In pike lakes I use medium
Caught my first fish last week after not fishing for 10+ years, got a 2 pound bass
Fishing beginners probably shouldn't use bait casters, they are very hard to deal with when bird nested
Very well done my friend! This should allow more people to demystify the start and just get out there. If I see newbies out I always introduce myself and love to help! This video is what KZhead is meant for!
What is the brand of the red spinning reel
Shimano. The Sienna is the best reel for $30 IMO
What is your go to set up for like bass fishing
I’m a carp and catfish angler from the UK, at some point I wanna go to the USA and catch some bass, this should be useful
@iLikeOldStuff I can give u some tips?
I think the best thing to do is buy a book or find books about fishing in your local library. These are tomes of great knowledge when there arent anyone more experienced that you can ask about things or can teach you ways of fishing. Good books will tech you everything from tying knots, fishing rigs to things like watercraft - learning to read the water and having general ideas where fish could be hiding. A lot of my advanced fishing knowledge came from multiple books from John Wilson, Matt Hayes & whoever in the sport that knows their stuff. John Wilson was an absolute legend here in the UK
Does your height take into affect of how long of a rod you should use?
I’m a picky fisherman video guy. You did a great job on this one.
Just started yesterday. I bought a regular rod and askes a fisher on the beachside to help me a bit. No jokes, i caught a seabaas within 3 trows. Its al in the technique
Nite crawlers and a 1/32 jig hook with 4 pound line on a spinning reel is perfect for beginners
Man's said girth how could u fk that up so badly 🤣
Bro I’m doing an essay on fission and this helps so much😅
i work the fishing department at cabelas near chicago, for a first time fisherman grab a 6’6 medium spinning rod with a size 30 reel and some 8-10 monofilament. perfect setup to catch a little of anything you want.
I’m thinking of taking my son fishing for the first time this summer
I recommend a 6’6 ugly stik with a kast king spinning reel with 8-12 lb line 👍
7’-7’5” med heavy bait caster and a 7’-7’3” medium spinning rod.
as an vietnamese, i know these action means : - UL = Ultra Light - L = Light - M = Medium - MH = Medium Heavy - H = Heavy - XH = Extra Heavy - XXH = Extra Extra Heavy - XXXH = Extra Extra Extra Heavy - SP = Super Power - SDP = Super Duper Power
I use the same rods and reels featured in this clip…. The siennas are the best bang for buck cheap spinners. Used them heavily in lakes and rivers of east Texas and even saltwater inshore fishing in the gulf!
Could you do a tutorial on how to catch largemouth from shore
Me who has been fishing for my whole life: ah, I know how to fish now!
Nice solid advice mate 👌
7' medium, fast action. Best all purpose setup.
out here in central MA killing it had over 10 fish today biggest 5.45lbs looking for that hog before spawn ends
