Advanced Fishing Tips : Types of Fishing Rods Used by Advanced Anglers

[aztecmondobean]

this shit is  so complicated -.-l id rather just swim and catch it with my teeth lol

[BassMaster570]

I have a 7 foot spinning rod that holds up to a 2oz lure. But I just bought a lure that weighs 2.2oz. Is it alright to use a lure that is slightly heavier than what the rod says?

[TheFoundersWereRight]

@BassMaster570 Basically Yes.. You can do that without it causing problems. It won't break your rod. It is basically just a guidline. That being said, If it was a Much Lighter lure, you might have problems getting casting distance.

[Moe7133]

@BassMaster570 You should be fine, but it will just feel more heavier than usual or give you more resistance when you reel back.

i fresh water fish alot and i wanna know if the string i have is strong enough to catch bigger fish...like strong bass os carp or stuff like that...and also if my rod is strong

[Reptilesandfish]

@brettyboybpr88 well if you use braided line for a baitcast you can easily do 30 lb + line do to braid line is very thin

[TheFoundersWereRight]

@brettyboybpr88 Ok, This is a Myth. 8lb test will catch any Freshwater Bass in the US. The main problem with broken line is when people snag a tree and jerk and pull on the rod till the line or rod breaks. Many large catfish have been landed on ultralight rods. Also, I have a female cousin I brag about. She fought a 44.5 inch Northern Pike on 6lb test for 45 minutes before she landed it. She was not using a wire leader either. She just knew how to play the fish.

i preffer shimano and daiwa

[mrtreydog12]

@milotist 2 much money

[maplebassmastrers5]

shimano has lefty retrieve

[darkmossie633]

thx so much for this post

-why, because you use left-hand fixed-spool reels, and also left-hand

multipliers, as the casting and retrieving principles are the same

-totally logical

-can you please tell me why Shimano dont make EVEN one left-hand retrieve

multiplier, and PENN, only one as far as i know?

great vid

With Rod selection it is important to also consider how you are fishing. Float tubing is becoming VERY popular here in the North East USA and using a 7ft rod or any bait caster for that matter is a bit of a no-no. The Largest Rod I would EVER use is a 6'6" MH w/ 8-20lb test. Maybe some braid for ripping heavy cover. A faster 6 or 6'6" footer can handel just about anything else including crank baits.

[GoldenRetriever5678]

Also, The largest reel I have ever used is a Shimano Stradic 4000. For heavey cover but mostly for BIG fish. Giant Cats, or Muskies. The Stradic 2000 or any comparable reel will handel just about anything else. Actually I wouldn't be afraid landing any fish on the 2000. Being comfortable with both rod and bait is important.

an advanced rod is a baitcaster

[muddybuddyCO]

Advanced anglers my ass...the only advanced rod out there is called a FLY ROD bitches!

[knott0130]

I got a 7 foot Ron Thompson boat rod is that a goof strong rod and can i use it for catching carp and what not? Please reply.

[georgebest7968]

does any onbe have any Shimano sea fishing rods.. that i can buy i loooked uop in interneet but the in web sits that buy from only sells like 7ft max ... i want a a bit longer one like 10ft or 13ft

any models you guys know for sea fishing ...

[SimpleAz]

@georgebest7968 if your going 10-13ft search up some surf rods.. st. croix is an awesome brand.

[superrcpilot1]

what about a 6,6 baitcaster uglystick

[GoldenRetriever5678]

@superrcpilot1 Ugly sticks are great rods, espically if your a weekend warrior. You don't need to spend $400 on a rod to go and relax. It is a bit touchy for me but I fish for pleasure 5 days plus a week. I DO use an ultra light Ugly stick for stocked trout and I own 2 others. One for fishing big cats and 1 for river muskies.. Plus your wife won't be able to crush it in the disposal. I love that comercial.

[tonydelaschivas]

thanx for the info !!

[tonydelaschivas]

can i use a spinning reel on a baitcaster rod ? help please...

[BRenegar00]

i wouldnt recomend doing that for a few reasons but mainly because with a casting rod you have a trigger on the bottom and if you put a spinning reel on there the trigger will be facing up and get in the way, making it a pain to have a good grip on the rod. during cast and what not.
