Why EVERY Angler NEEDS This Rod Combo!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 28. 05. 2021
- In every anglers journey of building up their rod and reel arsenal, they come to a point where a certain rod and reel are needed to fully accomplish the "heavy" situations. In this video I share why I believe a HEAVY rod combo is one of the most necessary for every type of anger from guys who bank fish, kayak fish, or fish tournaments out of a bass boat! I love to teach how to catch more fish on this channel, and how to be the most efficient angler possible! SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed this content!

One thing I forgot to mention: The reasoning for the length (7â4â), itâs because it is slightly longer than average which leads to longer casts, and more leverage on the hookset and getting the fish back to the shore/boat. You could broaden this specific rod and reel combo to 7â2â or 7â6â, but I think for every angler 7â4â is the best average
Alright thanks for the tips đ
Sounds like an excuse to add another combo to my arsenal.... sounds good to međ€€
Haha good!
My mans got these videos down to a science! Great work!!
These videos are so inpiring and push me to fish all the time. Every video I watch I learn something new. Thanks brother.
Thanks for showing us the links with the various pricing levels. Really helps me to know what to buy in the sea of options. I'll use your link to help you! Thanks again!
Great video. I've been on the fence with a heavy rod thinking I don't need one but i think theres a lot of heavy cover around me that I've just always walked past since i had lighter rods
You should do more of these and say the line and lure you should use it with as well as spinning rods
Ya
I agree
Yes!!
Iâm glad I watched this video. I was almost not gonna watch it just cause I seen SO MANY like it. But I was heavily watching KVD and he talked about THIS EXACT SAME COMBO / SETUP! And I wanted it.
Turns out I actually found a Great video and camera angle, and ACTION PACKED Fishing CZcams channel creator. I am glad to say I: Liked, commented AND SUBSCRIBED! This channel is how I like to watch and see the action out on the water.
âŠI am going fishing right now.
Letâs go! Glad to have ya around đđŒ
Right now my absolute favorite rod that I have is a 7â3 medium heavy and a 7â4 heavy. Both by Lewâs of course because thatâs all Iâll use but I feel like I can take those 2 rods and those 2 only anywhere in the world and be ok honestly. I mean thereâs very very very few things that I canât do on those rigs. Awesome video brother. I literally have that exact combo. Itâs my work horse.
I love my 7â3 heavy too though...thatâs what Iâve been throwing my Texas rigs on for a few months now. I was throwing a t rig on just a 7 foot MH and thatâs fine and dandy but dude the 7â3 heavy makes throwing that t rig soooo much more enjoyable and easier. More confidence too.
Nice combo, nice vid! Keep up the great work!
Iâm not sure about you guys but the cicada hatch are in the billions here in TN and the top water bite is huge!
I love my 7â bill dance medium heavy rod and 1989 Zebco 33 rhino tough reel w/ 10 lb line
This was a good one Tyler, thank you!
Love my Lewâs combos! I realize sponsors are super important for anyone in the industry, but for those who are on a super budget Bass Proâs brand has some solid reels by Johnny Morris around the $100 mark that can be used w braid if $ is tight! I use Lewâs Daiwa, Shimano, and my main frog reel is a Johnny Morris 8:1 and it works fantastic, so if $ is tight you can get a great combo for this around the $200 mark. But if you can splurge, Lewâs has amazing combos!!
You know, I've been needing a good punching/frogging/jigging rod and you've got me sold. I have been meaning to try those KVD rods, they are beautiful rods.
Do it! Make sure you shop using the links below!!
I love that your "high end" combo is a $130.00 Rod and a $300.00 reel whereas most other channels, a "high end" combo is a $450-$600 rod and a $250-$500 reel.
I dig that he's realistic and knows most average anglers don't have a ton of money to spend on gear.
I try to keep it âbudgetyâ but also splurge a little every now and again
Just bought a lews fire carbon 7:5:1 with a heavy 7â3 fire carbon rod. Im going to spool either braid 40 or 50 lb test
Just picked up a lews speed stick 7'3 heavy and love it! I have it paired with a piscifun allios I think? And it is great with this rod and my favorite rod hands fown
Nice!!
I own 2 of the GC 7 rods, and total of 16 KVD Lew's rod and real combos. Definitely a great combo
Perfect timing dude. Thanks so much!
An awesome budget 7â4 heavy rod is the Lewâs Mach. Not a Mach 2 or 1.. just Mach. Itâs an 80 dollar rod and itâs actually super impressive. It was my first ever âheavy dutyâ rod. Still use it today for my big worms normally.
Just picked up the Lews KVD CC2 rod and matching KVD 8:1 reel. Awesome combo!
Heck yeah! Hope you shopped through the links in my video description! And if ya didnât, next time!
Thank you I will check the combo out
Grats on well deserved 200k followers!
Thank you sir!
Such an awesome vid and combo!!!
Thank you!
Like your videos a lot!!!
Recently caught my PB!
(7lbs+)
Been waiting a month for the kvd pole and reel combo. I just got the reel but pole still on back order.
Thanks Tyler. I really appreciate what you do. I'd love to see you review some of the Lew's made combos. Such as the mach crush and Lew's inshore. Those are 2 combos that I use quite often. I am slowly upgrading my rigs to the higher end gear I have a g. Loomis with a Shimano DC on it and it's absolutely PERFECT! However, as much as I love that combo it's a $500 combo. I am not sure if upgrading all my gear is necessary. I'm putting together a heavyweight combo for musky, sturgeon, and pike. Basically big game fish. I already have the rod it's a cheep berkely big game rod. I'm looking at the abu rocket beast. Not sure yet. Anyways, some advice would be much appreciated. Thank you. Be safe out on the water and God bless you and your family. đ
Lewâs has us on certain âteamsâ, and Iâm not on the Mach team, so I donât usually use them. Thatâs more KTBTVs side
I like seeing the action videos.
I got a 7' Medium Speed stick rod and I really like mine. Beefier so I use it for bigger lures and frogs. Cheap because it came as a combo with a Speed spool,which btw,are amazing for the price!
Thatâs great! Iâm just telling you though, for bigger lures and frogs, having a dedicated rod and reel combo thatâs heavy action and longer will benefit you greatly. Thatâs why I made this video
I have a question I donât see talked about fishing etiquette. I went fishing a day ago and was fishing from a dock. Some others came up which I donât mind but they were fishing worms and would cast out then wonder around behind me stand behind me and talk in a circle amongst themselves. slowly crowded me more and more. I only had a couple hours to fish and I ended up quitting early since I couldnât pack up and get somewhere new with enough time left. I get they cast out and donât feel the need to watch their rods I guess but I donât fish that way because I find it more fun to use lures. I was just curious is this common? What if any etiquette is there.
JohnMartin hear in Canada , please do a eclectic sonar needs . I am in the weeds all the time in 5 to 15â rock drop offs quiet docks musky bass, crappie perch.
Lews American hero combo is good for a beginner as well
Hi love the videos!â
I asked for a Lews 7-foot-4 heavy rod for Christmas, and received it. However, it is moderate action - something I didn't specify. Is moderate or fast action best for this heavy rod, which I plan to mostly use for topwater, crankbaits and jerkbaits. Thanks for any assistance you can offer, and I enjoy all your videos on all sorts of topics. That really keeps it interesting!
Sounds like you got the cranking rod any treble hook lures will be good with it
I caught two bass on the donkey rig using the GC6 rod and the KVD 7.5:1 reel on New Yearâs Day, so yea itâs my favorite setup right now. And whereâs TRF?!
I actually just purchased this kvd gc7 and had to re watch this,
Also got the kvd cc4 rod, for throwing mid cranks , ready to go up north here
Awesome!
Leeâs American hero combo is good for a beginner as well
I have the Lews TSX combo 7â3â heavy from Academy for $129. Pretty happy with that price point.
@12:04 and 12:11 were EPIC! That was SWEET!
Hey Tyler,
Iâve been looking at the KVD GC7, the one you have in the video for a while. I was probably gonna pair it up with a Tournament MP and I was wondering if it would be good for swim jigs and frogs. My local lake gets a lot of grass during the summer and wanted to gear up before then. Thanks Tyler. Great video.
Yes that would be fantastic! Make sure you pick them up using those links in the video description if you can!
@@TylersReelFishingthanks man. Iâll use those links.
Have you tried the Lew's American Hero Camouflage
IT'S AWESOME. What's your opinion ??
12:12 Yo Tyler, I know you may not read this comment. But in the case you do, can we see more of that type of fishing footage? Maybe a montage of the fish eating the lure. The POV perspective and seeing the fish literally take it right before my eyes was amazing.
I know it's may be silly to ask, but my god that was beautiful to watch.
Bites like that are so rare, and to get them on camera in focus and in frame, is even more rare. I will do my best to try though! Haha
Thank you for another video with useful advice as usual. I just wanted to know if you use other rods and reels than Lews? Reason being that here in South Africa we battle to buy Lews or other good American products. I fish with mainly Shimano and Daiwa combos and find them excellent but would like to get a Lews setup as it seems really good. I see a lot of you guys fishing with Lews so it HAS to be good. Shipping fees to us are super expensive so we don't use what you guys have. Tight lines.
I am sponsored by them, they pay my bills, and I believe they are some of the best out there. Wish they were more available to ya!
Hey bro love the videos... You should put together a tackle list for beginners. Unless u already have one lol
Well, ...I would bring a gun to a knife fight all day long! LOL đ
I seem to always get the obvious slogans wrong đ
CONGRAJULATIONS YOU WINNERS OF THE REEL GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could afford that rod n reel combo, but I can't...I'm looking to get something cheaper.
Do you add a leader with this combo or just tie directly to the braid? Great video love the combos!
Straight braid on this dedicated heavy combo
Tyler, how does the KVD series compare to some of Lew's other rods like the TP1 black and others? I'm looking to get some good rods and wanted your opinion. BTW, awesome content bud!
Itâs very similar, but honestly I like the build quality better. I will be using more of the KVD next year
Awesome.
Best Hair on CZcams
What lures can I throw on this combo?
I have a question for you, Tyler. I have the Lews BB1 reel, and I'm looking for a rod to pair it up with. What would you recommend, bud??
If youâre looking to stay with the BB1âs purpose of cranking, get this rod! In 7â0â M! bit.ly/3ELqDS4
Man anyone else head bang to that intro tune? đ€đœ
Don't head bang to it, but love it.
Whatâs your thoughts on using a heavy 7â10 extra heavy for crank baits like deep divers
I donât think thatâs a smart choice. Especially with that bait, youâre likelihood of hooking them outside the mouth, where they are easily lost, is very high. So you want a rod with a little more parabolic bend to it. I would recommend a long, medium heavy.
@@TylersReelFishing yeah thatâs what I was looking for like 7â4 for deep divers and 7â0 for square bills and lipless crank bait Iâm looking halo rods for my deep diver Iâd go with 5:4 and my square bills I might a little bit faster gear ratio
Awesome
Hi Tyler! Your intro is fire and I was wondering if I could use the audio of it for my channel? I was going to make a fire intro like yours.
Not Switching to baitcaster until I catch at least 10 bass. Only caught 1 so far.
I was there, you will get them...
thatâs a good bro & good luck
I tried to talk to an older fisherman about ur channel, and he asked if u have done any vids on spin cast combos, I think that falls into the category of spinning
The word spincast doesnât exist in the bass fishing vernacular anymore. Called a spinning reel
Can i keep it 100? Budget is within 100$ with 50 for flex room so 150 hardcap.
For the combo or just reel? Send me a message on any social media platform and Iâll help you find one đđŒ
âBring a gun to a knife fightâ...lol. Funny Tyler. But I think thatâs backwards. But all good, made me laugh.
I have been taking so many Ls lately đ
Not sure if I would run a heavy rig with a graphite frame reel. You will definitely be tweeting that frame with frog hook sets and winching in 4 lbs of fish and 6 pounds of vegetation.
Iâve been winching in big bass with my hypermag for years now. No problems
"Yes to the sir" LMAOO idk why that made me giggleđ€Ł hey tyler watching these clips i was thinking about hooksets? Hook setting straight up or to the side ....is there any benefit to either? Seems like you do both. I really want to try jig fishing soon and i kind of black out when i feel a biteđ€Ł so i have to learn to really stop and think before i set the hook, and was wondering if i should be pulling straight up or to the side or if they both are effective as long as theres enough power
I'm no Tyler but I personally prefer side sweep like almost entirely even on spinning tackle.
@@billyjin2062 yeah I realized I definitely go sideways on spinning but I'm still learning on the baitcasters!! But i never think about it i just naturally go sideways but was wondering if there was a benefit going straight up. Thanks for the comment I'm gonna have to try both
With jigs, Texas rigged plastics, or frogs, a straight up hook set is going to work better because you can generate extra power to drive the hooks into the roof of the bassâs mouth. Iâm not an expert, but a general rule of thumb I follow is if itâs a moving bait with treble hooks, or exposed hook such as a spinner baits/chatterbaits, use a more sideways sweeping hookset. If you have to drive the hook through the plastic, such as a Texas rig, I would want to set the hook hard by doing a straight upwards hookset, with enough force to cross their eyes as some people say lol.
@@joeschnapps1712 ok makes sense!! I wasnt even thinking how with chatterbaits the hook is exposed vs trigs or frogs. What do you think the advantage of side sweeping it is? Over just driving all lures straight up everytime? I'm gonna have to really start thinking about hooksets when i change lures nowđ€Ł
@@MommyOutdoors The theory with moving baits/exposed hooks is that if you try to use an upwards hook set, you may yank the lure out of the fishes mouth. The sweep hook set is a more gradual hook set and allows the fish to get the lure down in their mouth more.
How come people do a far heavier braid than the rod or reel's drag are listed as capable of handling? A lot of the time it's more than double. I would assume you'd want more than the drag and less than the rod.
Drag means almost nothing in bass fishing, unless youâre fighting a big fish on a spinning rod. I lock em all down completely tight. And Iâm pretty sure line weight is what is meant to go through the guides well, not specifically how strong of a line it can handle. Braid is also way different than mono and fluoro in terms of its build components
His all around combo is my frogging and flipping stick. And even my combo I feel is a little excessive. I donât understand how this can be an all around combo
I didnât say all around. I said all around for heavy types of fishing. I mentioned that SEVERAL timesđ
I use a 7'4
Hey Tyler, Iâm just wondering what your pb is

@@TylersReelFishing you're the man
Did the first guy get ahold of you?
No sir! Send me an email
Whatâs about a 7â2 heavy will that work
Could! I discuss this in the pinned comment
@@TylersReelFishing thanks
what I like about tacticalbassin that other fishing CZcamsrs don't usually do is suggest different products from many different companies. I know you're sponsored by Lews so obviously you're going to recommend nothing but Lews but in all honesty, if you want quality and superior performance, you may want to branch out and use other brands. Shimano is amazing, both their rods and reels, megabass has outstanding performance also, same with St Croix, and finally if you want superior quality and performance, G.Loomis is king. Not saying Lews products aren't as good but Its silly to hold yourself back by only fishing with one brand.
Lewâs pays my bills, shimano, St. Croix, etc do not. I have a wife to support, so I have to make money. Itâs a no brainer to use really good products that also pay me
@@TylersReelFishing And some of us have a wife and family to support so can't spend all of our money on fishing stuff. :) I really appreciate Tyler's suggestions and trust them. I have a couple Shimano DC reels myself but I will say, that Lew's Classic Pro reel Tyler has mentioned a few times now is simply amazing for the price. I picked one up and it is legit.
@@ivanradi4275 trueeee
@@DavidCho same, it is legit
Iâm going to stick with my shimano curado m and my bass pro shops rod.

You hurt my feelings I thot that medium heavy was the go to
It is the go to... for most bass applications. For heavy cover and big baits though, itâs not
@@TylersReelFishing agreed
A gun to a knife fight, hell yeah!

Does anyone else dance to the intro music just wondering đ
Always!
Why 7'4" exactly?
I addressed that in the pinned commentn

@@TylersReelFishingthanks!
I don't know about you, but I do want to bring a gun to a knife fight! I think ya switched the wording around... đ. I understood what you meant.
Yep haha
Gawd, pretty sad when the low budget is even out of my budget... Ugh
Itâs not sad, itâs an opportunity. If you live In America you can work to afford whatever you want. It may be more difficult for some people, but the opportunity is always there. Itâs all about desire. Desire it and make it happen
Love the optimism, I wish I still had it. But last time i poured myself into achieving those desires, I lost everything right down to the dog. I'll live vicariously through others!
You now youâre poor when the budget combo is to expensiveđ
Nobody makes a âbudgetâ 7â4â H combo. If you want budget, youâre gonna be stuck with combos that companies make like 7âM or 7âMH
