Finally someone who can legitimately explain this stuff in a logical concise manner! You have found a new subscriber Good Sir!
Thank you for this explanation. I'm just trying to get back into fishing after 30 years and I'm strictly a bank fisherman. I'm honestly more frustrated than anything else. I feel like I'm spending a fortune and doing it blindly. I'm close to just giving it up entirely.
Just get a medium action 6ft 6in & be happy 😊 👈
Hope you didn't give up buddy, if you still need help or have any questions I would love to try and help
You taught my wife and I how to spool a spinning reel. I started on spincast, then a bait caster. My wife likes spinning, so I got myself a dock demon to try it. Now I'm in love with spinning! And this video shows me the dock demon is my type!
Never too old to learn. You taught me a few new things with your video. I'll now make a smart purchase on my next rod. Muchas gracias.
As a beginner, non native-speaker and not familiar with Oz, LBS and so forth I was having trouble keeping up. However I find that you are making good, descriptive examples of your statements which help me better understand the reasoning behind the choises between composition and so on.
Debo is a god send 😭🙌🏽. This is perfect.
Very informative, thank you so much. I am having such a hard time finding my 'grownup' or 'graduation from being a newb' rods and reels. Can't afford the big name brands yet but you made the terminology for understanding rods in general a lot easier to understand. 🎣
Dude u seriously deserve more subs
MEGA HOUSE FISHING haha thank you man, that really means a lot! Well tell your buddies, let's get Debo's army growing!
Just subscribed
Yep, new to the channel as well..! Thanks for all the info..!
Well HE HAS EM NOW!!!!
BUT HE STILL DESERVES MORE ......
MUCH MORE HELPFUL AND ENTERTAINING THAN THE GOON SQUAD
Perfect explanation my friend. I can cast at least 20 yards farther with a Medium power rod than a heavy power in the exact same length. I have to rewatch your videos to remember.
Awesome video man! Very helpful visual aid, there is so much info out there but you simplified it and made it much easier to understand!! A1 job
Thank you so much for your videos. Watched several of these. Many explained what action and power are but they didn’t explain how the differences mattered for fishing different scenarios. Well done man. You should be a teacher.
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup czcams.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
You are such a great instructor. I need to back up though and learn the parts of the rod. You said something about the "blank" and I couldnt understand what that was. Will look through your video list to see if you have made a vid explaining the parts of the rod. Thank you. I am now subbed to your channel :)
This video really helped. I have 5.5' rods. All the way to 12' rods. Now I know the best for the fishing type I am doing. Thanks.
Well done and explained. I have to watch it a few more times and pull my rods out to fully grasp the information but we’ll put together Debo. Thanks again
D
Darryl D thanks my man, greatly appreciate all of your support!
Man wtf now you got me looking at my setup lol on the real I alway use my heavy rods for my top water baits and my jig with braid and medium for my Texas rig but I never had put much thought about my rod just felt right but you made me think about my setup great vid brother keep it up 👍
papis216 Relentlessbassman that's awesome man, I'm glad I have you information to think about. There is NO right answer to fishing, most of it is personal preference. I appreciate you checking out the vid and commenting brother 👊
Great video brother thanks for making. Just realized there's more to it than putting a worm on a hook....I had the wrong line on the wrong reel on the wrong rod and now I'm finally going to step out out of rookie zone
Don't look at it that way it all. There are a lot of different ways to do it. I made this as a guide to help others. I'm glad this helped clear up some of your questions. Good luck on the water man!👊
One of the best explanations I've come across. Thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome, hope it helps out man. Have a good week!
This is hands down best rod an reel guide on yt. Great work
Good explanation of rod action. I honestly didn't know about that until recently, and then this vid pops up on my homepage. ✌️😎🎣
Nice informative discussion on the merits of each style of rod. Keep the videos coming they are helping me (a fly fisher) get a grasp on another style of fishing. Thanks
I like that idea you just said to me because I chat line all the time when I get home or check my fishing pole and fishing rods same as you do so so I can know what I'm doing when I'm using them
Best tutorial I’ve seen yet about this subject. You answered all my questions. Subbed.
Awesome, I'm glad the vid helped. Thanks for becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend 👊
Very nice lightweight rod and I was very happy with it. It’s my new go to trout fishing rod.
Power !!! Oh ya ..... dude your videos are really well done 👍🏻 can’t believe more people aren’t subscribed yet . Keep up the work
Hardknox925 thank you very much, that means a lot. Well spread the word to you buddies, we have to get Debo's following growing!
Great video, great info. I've watched it a couple times
Best rod explanation- I’ve watch a dozen. Thanks man!!
Hey Debo, just found and saw this one. Great presentation and loved the rods on the wall as illustration. Clean & concise. As good a visual as PowerPoint could provide in the boardroom. I retired from a career in sales and you really should be in it professionally, if you're not. The $ can be awesome. You are effectively selling for KastKing already and doing a great job! 👍 *Features & Benefits and why you need it. That's sales in a nutshell.
You’re channel is a hidden gem
I appreciate that a lot man👊👊👊
The line will tell you about a bite faster than a rod can. A trick I always used when bass fishing with the soft Walmart special rods as a kid. Hold the rod in front of the reel, let the line rest on a finger and keep the pole pointed at where the line meets the water. That trick helps keep the pond scum out of the spincast as well.
I fly fish and build fly fishing rods. I'm going to start building casting/ sping rods and did not know anything about them. Thanks for the video very easy to understand. I now feel I have a clue what kind of blank to start with for building a casting rod. The metal cap sounds good, I will have metal caps on the rods I build.
Awesome man, really hope this helps you out. Have a good week!
thank you.......finally an explanation that makes sense to a person who just starting. U got a subscriber.
I feel like i owe you a beer. Or at least a hug or something. Excellent video. Subbed.
I could use a cold brew right about now lol. Thanks for watching and becoming a #verifiedfeeshinfriend 👊
As usual Professor Debo schools us on the important stuff rather than just another channel with guys repeating "OMG...OMG...its big one" while they take another sip of their Monster drink. Between Debo and Hat Cam Bass I feel I have a decent handle on bass fishing and the confidence to go and dangle a line without feeling like a tardo if I backlash. And I also don't get sensory overload when I go into Bass Pro to buy some baits. These two guys explain stuff a beginner angler REALLY needs to know to get started fishing with confidence. Dangle on man!
Haha. I was thinking the same exact thing. I just got into bass fishing and been watching tons of videos. These young guys yell 4 pounder before they see it and act crazy and I cant understand half the lingo they use. They also spend the first 10 minutes trying to sell merchandise. Debo is refreshing and a great teacher. I've been learning a lot from him and hes fun to watch fish with randizzle.
So glad I subbed to your channel a while back. I have learned so much as a beginner. Thanks Debo.
The 1 thing you left out here ( I think you did anyways) is line . Mono with more stretch requires a slightly heavier rod to get a hook set where braid with no stretch might require a rod with more give . So type of line is just as important as pound test you’re using
Thanks for the breakdown, your channel is a goldmine!!
Your presentations are very well said. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos for someone like me that is not a well educated angler. I watched your bait caster videos and this one as well, to understand that I need to sub to this channel. Your channel will surely grow. Thanks from Kentucky.
I fish from a kayak almost every day and I only use one short rod a Fenn wick 6'6 w/shimano curado for skipping under docks and bushes ect. Most of my rods are between 7' and 7'6" I frog alot n top water alot but every one is different, good video
Yep, those short rods help for skipe. Exactly, just have to find which different rods you like based on preference. Thanks for watching man 👊
Yeah you do a good job on your videos they're fun 2 watch you should get a kayak
As always great stuff. It’s pretty bewildering with all the choices available. Thanks for breaking it down and not being brand specific (even though you’re a KK guy which is understandable) . Especially appreciate the kayak length info. Keep up the good work!
J
You're very welcome man and thank you for watching. I do use KastKing but I've used a ton of different companies and models over the years. I try to help everyone the best I can! Have a good week!
Just starting to get into surf fishing and this video cleared a lot of confusion thanks man!
axel carvajal that's great! I'm very happy I could help! Have a great week man!
Dude bro thx. Literally teaching a man to fish
This is one of the most effectively informative fishing videos ever made. I for one, appreciate the thought, time and effort you put into it. Well done. Are you and educator by trade? Hello from Kansas City!
Thanks for explaining this so well...best video I've seen on it.....im trying to get.better with my gear and start using casting rods and reel instead of the basic spinners I've always used....to get started on my budget I was thing of getting 2 set ups and was thinking a 7'2 med/heavy fast action and a 7'2 med/heavy moderate action....would really appreciate any advice if that sounds like a good 2 to start with....thanks!! Just subbed
you explained it better then the pro i watched, thanked
I'm certainly happy this helped. Thanks for watching man!
Best rod video I have seen yet
Eddie Lindsay thank you very much man, that means a lot! Appreciate you watching!
A buddy built me a rod for trout stream fishing. It is a composite (told carbon fiber) with an open metal seat and titanium micro guides. Light (maybe ultra light) and fast. From your info, sounds to be a good combo for interested purpose.
Nice! Yeah, ultralight is the way to go for those really light trout lures. Good luck man 👊
Great video. I learned a few things from this one. Keep up the awesome work bro & I'll keep watching
That's what it's all about! Helping fellow feeshin friends. Appreciate you watching my man!
Well prepared, well presented, well done! Bravo.
Thank you sir, I appreciate that a lot 👊
It gets a bit confusing, but I think a guy has to decide in advance on a rod selection for the kind of fishing you do that day at the river, lake, pond, saltwater, inland, etc. ect.... Having said that it's a good idea to check with the locals on what they use. A bait shop is a good source of information to select rod/reel combos as well as bait/jig/leur for the time of day or year, the species and area you cover.
What a great video. Excellent display of knowledge and applicability
I appreciate those kind words! Thanks for watching and hope it helps folks out!
Worth the watch. Thanks for the info. I've learned a lot.
Thanks for watching, I'm happy to help!
Gonna get my first non combo and first bait caster tomorrow thanks this helps a lot
Very informative but the one problem is that it seems that bass fishermen dominate this issue. There are other fish in the water and Florida isn't the only place to fish salt water. You gave me a better idea on what to look for but I still need figure out how to transfer this knowledge to the fish I target.
Very nice breakdown!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!! A1 bro💯
ELITE BASS STICK thanks bro!
You mentioned kayak fishermen.. yes! Thank you.
great video,just purchased a shimano dc 150,was wondering what kind of rod I was gonna pair it with,this video helped a lot. thanks for the knowledge.
You're welcome man. Good luck with the new combo👊
As someone fairly new to really getting into fishing(especially bass fishing), this video was GREAT for me. Thank you for the breakdown. It will help me in selecting rods and lines. Do you have happen to have a video for how the ratios on reels work in conjunction with the lure?
Ryan U thank you very much man, I appreciate your support. I don't but the lower the ratio, the slower the reel. A lot of it is preference. A 6.3 or 7.0 reel are probably the best for someone starting out. You can do most applications on those!
Right, but do I want a 6.3 for cranking vs a 7 for topwater and so on? I saw how the specific rods from kastking can be used for multiple applications in another one of your videos and that is what I'm trying to do. I don't fish enough nor have the money to have 10+ rods right now. I'm looking to get the most out of about 3-4 setups. Again, thanks for all the help.
Ryan U well golly. Twist my arm and I'll do a vid!
Ryan U I know where you're coming from man, we all aren't pros with 20 different setups! Thanks for watching and be on the lookout!
Lol. I'm a novice trying to get like you. Again, I really appreciate the videos
Hey man this vídeo is the Best video in the CZcams about Fishing rods in english. Americans make hard to understand this.
Christiano Costa I'm glad I could help my friend. Tight lines!
I fish alot of boat docks i use a berkly shock rod med heavy 7ft i used these rods and finwicks for years never had a problem with any of them i think they are underrated!!!!!! Caught. All types of fish even musky they priced around 60.00 $
Nice man! All about what you have confidence with. Thanks for watching 👊
Very informative Mr. Debo! I think my next rod will be a 7.5'+ extra heavy for frogging/gulf coast/cat fishing, but I don't think that will be for a while.
Dude you did a great job on this video! Keep it up man!!
Fishing After 5 thank you brother, appreciate the support!
Excellent video, Great explanation of choosing what rod to use I fish mostly for Pike with a bait caster what rod would you suggest for making a long cast using 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz lip lures
Look in to uk pike rods mate ten times lighter than what you yanks use big eyes to help casting and rod you will cast 100 years easy even with a ten foot rod
Missed this one. Good explanation. Thanks..
Thanks for the tips was wondering between a 6'6 or 7 ft baitcasting rod.. gonna go with the 7.. 🎣
I bought my first baitcaster let's hope I made the right choice I've only been fishing for about 3 years now so
I’m always amazed by Nicholas Cage’s range. Bravo.
There is so much useful info in this video, I feel like I should be taking notes haha
Hahah thanks man, hope it helps folks out. Thanks for watching 👊
tremendously helpful and informative. Thanks for the great vid.
This is a really good video, but you make a really weird statement about being a bank fisherman and needing a shorter rod? Navigating obstacles on the shore might be easier with a short rod, especially if you're moving through brush and similar. But navigating obstacles in the water, then it's a massive advantage to have a longer rod. A longer rod lets you move the tip further to navigate around obstacles in the water. As well as going higher to move your rod up and lower to move it down. Not to mention all the extra casting distance you get.
Only problem with using a rod that is too short from the bank is you can hang alot of lures up right up close where if you have one 7' or longer it can help you with the angle when the water is tapering up.
Lance Howard thanks for the comment brother. Good input. Additionally, a longer rod will let you cast farther. Completely necessary sometimes from the bank to ensure you're reaching every spot possible. I just see a lot of people struggle with really long rods while pitching, casting around trees and weeds, etc. Shorter is not always better, especially if you're fishing a spot that's wide open and has a trail or something. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and thank you for watching!
Oh yeah, wasn't criticizing at all. Just comes down to if you have to worry more about snagging what's above or what's below.
Lance Howard oh no man, didn't take is as criticizing at all. I love these discussions and just try to give all views on something to help people. I completely agree with you. All about preference, and that's with almost EVERYTHING in fishing. I love that you provide your view and I encourage it. You should definitely tune in to all of my "fish food for thought" videos, your input would be valuable!
Oh yeah, I'm subbed. More of a Lews guy myself but love the channel lol. Hoping to start doing vids this spring myself. Wish I had of filmed the 10lbs. in my pic about a month ago but of course not lol.
Lance Howard thanks for the sub. Lew's is an AWESOME company too. I own Lew's reels. I just couldn't justify spending $100+ on each reel. I would never talk bad about their products. I just love what KastKing is doing in the industry. They are a newer company but they deserve more credit. I would never knock another company to make one look better. Just give my experiences and the facts. Thanks again bro 👊
I'm building up my rod arsenal I currently thinking of getting a couple new crankbait rods one medium heavy and a medium
Excellent video Debo!!
Most helpful fishing video ever, now I'm gonna subscribe
Excellent video, this was exactly what I was looking for! SUBSCRIBED!
oldie but goodie, thanks!
thanks man, u know what ur talking about! great video man
clear cut explanation, subbed.
Great Channel - subbed last night.. Out West With Chris mentioned you.. keep it up..
Yankee Tanker Outdoors I truly appreciate that my friend! Chris is a great dude and very well spoken. Appreciate you coming over to check out my channel!
Man you answered all my questions think I'll go with a 6ft. Berkley MH cherrywood rod and a piscifun torent reel 12lb.test thanks
Sounds like a good combo to start with. Thanks for watching man!
Ditto to the kudos on your explanation. Watched the video several times as I'm looking for a rod to bottom bounce troll for wall eyes. Mostly use 1-2.5 oz bottom bouncers and the 7' Is better than the 6.5 length'. Med power, med fast to fast action. Only trouble is - reading online suggestions vs actually feeling the rod in the store (then on the water) can be time consuming. You ever done this application? You comments?
Yea, I hear ya man. It's tough buying a rod online. I haven't done that tactic. I hope the vid helps out man. Thanks for watching!
Wow man, fantastic vid!
Thank you very much for watching man!
What a legend 👌 really knows his stuff..
Would love to fish with him 🤣🤣
I'd be honored to fish with ya bud! Thanks for watching ;)
Excellent breakdown!!!
Levi Palmer thank you cous, appreciate all your support!
Would be awesome if you also covered pros and cons of 1 piece vs. 2 piece as many 7' and under seem to come in both!
under 2 years of fishing and I am now up to ten rods. Going from heavy to light. Please don't let me be that guy with tons of fishing gear. i think i have more fishing stuff then i really need. lol now when i invite someone to fish i just tell them just bring themselves and I will bring everything. lol
About 3:07 and rod action. If you have two Extra Heavy power rods and want to cast a light lure, and one of them is Extra Fast action and one is Extra Slow action, which would do better with the light lure?
Learned a lot. Now I am thoroughly confused, lol. For some reason, I look and look and end up with a medium or medium heavy. Just an old dog trying to learn some new tricks! But, bought one of those light KastKing Calamus rods after I saw you use one. Love that thing.
Med and MH are really the two most versatile rods in the arsenal. Thanks for watching my vids man 👊
great video, thanks so much, I learnt so much from you. may I know does the gear ratio affect the casting distance? many thanks.
Outstanding! Your presentation is well organized, informative, and concise. There is one minor thing, however. Length is misspelled. Oops!
👍👍👍
Action : Regular (what does regular action mean?) Thank you.....
So power is how much weight it takes to bend, and action is where it bends on the rod?
I have two baitcasting rods...
1. Power - Medium and Action - Medium Fast ( C.W - 7 to 28g)
2. Power - X heavy and Action - X Fast ( C.W - 7 to 36g)
What are these rods useful for???
You are the best ! Keep it going man
Ahmad Al-Dossary thanks man 👊 Appreciate you watching!
very well spoken, your vids are dope
Dom thank you very much man, I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
thanks good straight forward talk
Phillip Imsdahl thanks brother! Hope it helps! Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Awesome video! Gave me the answers was looking for but, then you left me totally lost. Can you explain "3 quadrants"? 🤔🤔
Good info and video! Thanx bro
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Such great info! Thanks a lot
Great vid man thank you
