I know, I quit watching every body else and just watch Debo now. He really has our education at heart.
Facts
Nah nah nah. Devo is amazing but you won't learn and grow if you just get information from one source. There are so many great educational CZcams fishermen out there.
Means aot man. I still urge you to watch other channels. Knowledge is power my Friend. Lots of WAY better anglers out there than me. I'm just a dude who loves to fish 👊
Best fishing channel out there IMO just such a good dude and he is all about the common fisherman and keeps the budget fisherman in mind.
Means the world to me to read things like this. Thank you very much man 👊
He is Def top 3 best , I can’t think of any better than Debo other than 1 but it’s TacticalBassin
And that’s just simply the cream of the crop for educational fishing bass videos
If I’m a pond , no boat guy Debo is bar none the best by far. I’ve been watching CZcams fishing for 7 years now, 1rod was my first channel and Jon b fishing the Midwest and I stopped watching most of those guys though those two are still pretty good. Debo stays true to who he was before he got followers and he remains educational and informative , kind and he focuses on stuff we can afford
Agree with many of the other comments about your attitude towards your subs and our needs and desires. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, as a recently retired teacher, I’m enjoying the education I receive within every video you post. As a newbie, I’m still checking out other folks for more info, but yours is the “class” I never skip. 😎👍
Loved that $100 model, but the beauty of those frogs is the way they tied in the characteristics of the creatures they emulate with the practical benefits of a well designed lure to attract fish. Smart, clever designs are a sign of a company worth keeping.
Appreciate those kind words a lot man!
Thank you for being so informative! It’s a breath of fresh air to watch someone that shares their opinion on practicality instead of looks of the product and money in their pocket.
I'm happy to try and help how I can. I'm no pro but happy to share my honest opinion 👊
The Halloween special frogs look so awesome
Lools like a quality rod plus the orange and black looks sick✌
Man it feels good to watch a Debo video. Haven’t watched one in about 3 months and it’s always a good time
Appreciate that a lot man 👊
It doesn't get better than DEBO. Period!!! Honest reviews across the board.
Perfect Saturday morning gets better!
I was busy finishing our RV setup so I was a bit late watching the unboxing! Looking forward to your reviews after using them.
Good stuff! Your "did I just say that" pauses are perfect!
Your thumbnail reminded me I needed to re-string my rod, thanks for that lol.
Debo early in the morning.
just picked up two Halo's last week , both 6' 10" , a KS II Elite medium, rated 6-12# line , 1/8-1/2 oz lures and an HFX medium, rated 10-14# line, 1/4-5/8 oz lures , both casting, and man do I love these rods, light, sensitive and really good looking too. I'm using the KS II Elite for weightless flukes, senkos , & plastic swimbaits and the HFX for light spinnerbaits & light shallow cranks 1-5 ft. these rods feel amazing !!! picked em up for $100 each
Thanks for the information. Not a rod I see here in OKC but now one I want to check into.
Haven't heard of the Halo rods but they look nice! Thanks for the review.
DEBO: "They put the tip of of one against the other"...
No one:
DEBO: "Edits in the face he made while editing...
Everyone: ... Well now I get it!
Thanks for the content. Those frogs are unbelievable. Putting Halo on the list
Those frogs were a killer bonus. Zombie frog💯 nice review! Love that $100 rod. Kind of a no brained if you’re looking for something in that price range.
Never heard of halo rods. Cool lookin rods tho and the frogs are badass too
the KVD reel actually looks pretty awesome on the green elite
I’m looking at Abu Garcia Veritas for my spinning finesse set up. Thanks for the reviews!
Thanks for the video Debo. With so many rod options, it's hard to try them all. Can't say that I would buy a Halo, but you never know I guess. Tight lines my friend. 🎣🤘😷🙏
Thanks debo! Very informative. Never know what to get other than the “standards” so seeing this really helps. Keep up the posting!
Just grabbed a couple of the black widow like that halo has. Hopefully the quality matches the price
They look awesome Debo, never had a $100 rod.
Another good video. I'm in the market for new rods for sometime. Been shopping around and doing my homework on what suits me and my style. Keep up the good work dude.
That look at 1:54 is priceless!😂
Love love love all the scum frogs. They are AWESOME!!!!! Thank you sir for always trying to keep us informed !!!! You sir are the quintessential CZcams PERSONALITY!!!!!!
Hahah appreciate the kind words man 👊
Been looking at halo rods jus aint pulled the trigger yet. Can't wait to git a review on them.
Great rod unboxing, Debo! I’m kinda diggin’ that $100 Halo. Can’t wait to hear about it in action! Well done, sir!
I am too! Feels great in hand...need to see how it does on the water!
Great content Debo, the only one that is truley genuine on your reviews! Don’t trust a lot of people but you are a trust worthy man!
Appreciate that a lot my friend 👊
Good looking rods. My days of ordering rods without being able to handle one are over. When I am tempted to buy a $100+ rod I just go and get another St Croix Triumph rod from my local DSG or a Premier IMO they are the perfect balance of quality and great value for the price.
I completely get that man. I like to hold them first too but...I took a chance here
Those rods look sick especially the green one. Have to really see how they perform since it’s unknown brand to me. Like how they ship. Also bonus frogs!!! They knew how to market to ol Debo.
the scum frog trophy series frogs are made for pads only, the back end sinks like a rock lol
@@legionssb I have only ever used the basic scum frog and crushed with it for such a cheap goofy looking frog haha
@@TheDefiantClone Yeah! that one is more of a all purpose frog.
My son loved that mummy frog
I've had some good experiences with my Halo. No complaints here so far. Mine is a MH Fast, I have it paired with a AG Pro Max (nothing special) 15lb Flouro and i use a variety of baits on it. It's pretty versatile.
Yes! I love unboxings! Especially yours brother
Always appreciate you brother 👊
Need more live shows Debo! Loved it Friday night.
Definitely will be doing more! 👊👊👊
I actually no longer own any Lews stuff because I became a Shimano fanboy but I will say they are the most underrated reel companies they don’t need serviced and they never break down
nice looking rod! always keep a finger on the line!!
Lol good edit with the terming there Debo, happy holidays man.
Hahah happy new year man 👊
Good looking rods. Be really interested in your thoughts after you use them. These vids are informative and entertaining. Good content.
I picked up a couple of the Black Widows from Halo. A local shop had them black Friday for $75.00 each. My first Halos as well. Can't wait to try them out. Looking forward to your on the water review of yours. Thanks for a good video again.
You should check out power tackle rods. They are a little expensive, but you won’t regret spending the extra money. It is a amazing rod.
I was running errands last night couldn't watch you and Randizzle live. Watched it when I got home. Love ❤️ those frogs! Someone has a good imagination for those color schemes. I would throw all 3. I bought the Halo XD III a couple months ago after watching Joe Simpson's video. I bought that exact one and got it for $87. I really like it. I paired it with my SixGill Hamarr. Thank you for making a gloomy Saturday morning better with my ☕ coffee. I am sure the other rod you will like also. I'm not so big on the lime florescent green, though. Checkerboard is ok but the green strips are a bit overpowering to me. Good video 👍
Always appreciate you watching 👊
Love that zombie frog ! Great honest review of the Halo rods. May have to check them out. Keep up the great work and awesome vids
Picked up a 7'2 H KSII Elite for Froggin' after watching this vid. Haven't been able to get on the water yet to try it out but it looks and feels sweet. You're right about the reel seat, I have medium size hands and it feels a bit big BUT it's still very comfortable. I also tried pairing the rod with both a spooled 150 and 200 size reel (SLX XT & Curado 200i) and the 200 size reel filled out my hand better, was more comfortable and had better balance. The balance point on the 200 was at the top of the reel seat threads, where the 150 balanced about an inch above it. Either size is fine IMO but I think a 200 size will be more comfortable if you're working a frog all day.
I also have a 7'2H SLX rod and use it for froggin' as well. I'd say the KSII is stiff with good back bone but has more tip than the SLX, which may have to do with the rod being rated for lures up to 1oz vs the SLXs rating of up to 1.5oz. The KSII is probably better for working smaller frogs but can probably handle a 'River2sea Bully Wa 2 65 (4/5oz frog)' just fine.
These are just my first impressions but I hope this is useful feedback for anyone interested in buying this rod.
Debo I'd be really interested to hear what you think about the rod now that you've had it for a bit; maybe a follow-up vid is in order lol 😝??
P.S. it seems the lure rating info on American Baitworks is incorrect but the rod info on Tackleware is correct (TW also gives accurate rod actions).
Be safe out there and tight lines!
Cheers
I will need another rod for next year I will be looking at one for sure
Thanks for the review Debo. That XD III Pro looks pretty appealing - I really like the extra guides, reel seat, and longer trigger length
Hey Debo I’m not good with Technology but Just wanted You To Know That THAKS TO YOU I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO CAST MY BAITCASTERS OVER HAND AND ALL WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND TECHNIQUES 🙌THANK BRO REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 💯🙌👍👊KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT. OUT FROM CALI 💯🤘👍👊🙌🎣🎣🎣
That's awesome to hear man. Glad I could help out!
Those frogs are sick. Mummy and zombie for the win.
Rods look nice. Beat them up for a while and see how they do.
Good review I’m going to order me one and try it thanks
Those look great. I like the black and orange. 100 bucks is my limit usually.
I got 2 hfx spinning rods and love them. Sensitivity for finesse is great and the feel 8n hand is even better.
Enjoying the heck out of your content, lots of entertainment and great information. Been going back to older videos to watch those. Keep up the awesome work.
Appreciate that aot my friend 👊
I like the zombie frog! Keep up the great and honest feedback, love the channel!
Great Review; I probably will not purchase a Halo for myself, as I already have way too many rods and am pretty brand specific. I do have three sons, one of them will get one and let him put it use...
Awesome new rods. Those Scum 🐸 Frogs are rad!!!!
I just popped for a high end rod. I ordered a Dobyns Champion Extreme HP Split Grip Casting Rod in 7 foot heavy. I'm going to pair it up wit the Shimano Curado DC.
That zombie frog looks awesome
I want those froggs! I almost bought the mega bass halloween lures. I collect halloween stuff. Next year I'll have to set aside a budget for special edition lures.
Both look pretty good. I hate not having a fishing rod in my hands before buying it though. Not sure I could do the online thing!
I have the halo start lite pro matched with a kastking royale 2 and it works amazing for me
I was looking at both those rods but I went with the Phenix Maxim (73ML) and Phenix Feather series (71MH) instead. They both seem great but I am especially impressed with the maxim, which tackle warehouse had for $89!!
Nice fishing rods. I’m waiting on my Shimano Expride and 2020 Zodias. I finally saved up for some higher quality gear.
I picked the xd pro as well on Black Friday, it feels really nice. Have taken it out a few time already and really like it. Cant beat it for the price.
Good to hear! I'm excited for spring!
@@DEBOSFishing Update, I've been smoking the bass here in Louisiana. I dont have the winter you do. Rod is flawless. Caught redfish, biggest 29" as well. It could easily sell for way more.
I would throw the zombie frog, I love the eyes on it.
That first rod looks great . I may go check em out 🔥🔥🔥 video
I like St. Croix, but can’t afford a lot of those, lol, so some 13 fishing Fate Black seems to give me the most value for the money.
Really like the reviews
As far as looks.. the first one looks great. I got smaller hands too so that one right up my alley. Color matching is not all that important, but would look sweet paired with an Okuma Helios SX (silver with orange accents). The zombie frog was awesome, would just hang it up on a wall so not to loose that really cool looking lure 😁
Enjoyed the live stream last night. Looks like you’re going to have a nice new rods to fish with. Frogs all look really cool. I like the zombie frog
Rod looks really cool, will probably pick one up for next season!
Never used Halo before but the SLX and Fury are hard to beat almost until the Zodias price range of 180-200. I sold 90% of my dobyns but kept a Fury 734 just for it's versatility and everything else is getting switched over to Megabass technique specific rods, Mainly Destroyers but for moving baits the Levante will work fine but are still sensitive enough for bottom contact if needed.
Thank god for Debo
Excellent review Debo hope you are well 👍
Badass colors and great info. Not at the $170 rod level but working up there lol
Debo i love your fishing videos, day 1 fan💪🏻
I wish my Walmart would get that red Halo that I showed you. They have been out for a couple months. Nice little addiction to your rod and reel arsenal.
I should actually be getting a package in today. It was my only Black Friday purchase. Lew’s TP1 Black. Should be here today
Looked like a cool rod!
When the price of a rod goes up the weight of the rod usually goes down. Having proper guide placement is important too, as well as having the guides mount in line with spine of the blank. When you buy a rod that comes in the mail and take the word of the manufacture sometimes means you don’t get what you thought you bought. You can wiggle, bend, and shake all you want. Until you put a reel line and lure on; you don’t know what you bought. I will be waiting until you use those rods before I make any purchase decision. Just in case; if you know what I mean.
100% it could suck once I get it out there. Just trying to give my honest opinion unboxing them first.
My local Walmart just started carrying halo rods never heard of them till late this year
Lol, 1:56, I see what you did there 😆
That's a great looking rod! (Fishing really has too many double entendres)
Looking forward to some more of the line/reel/rod relationship videos.
Keep it up Debo. I love what you are doing.
I need to do one of those soon. Ok...you get the pick. What lure should I do for the next rod/reel/line relationship?
@@DEBOSFishing should be plenty of fun in jerk/crank bait rod/reel/line relationships.
I'm slowly upgrading my rods from super cheap. I've got a SLX. It's nice to know other options. Those rods look real nice.
I’ve been using halo rods for quite some time comment you’re right Debo Great balance points on them. Very comfortable!
That's good to hear! I.I'm excited to put them to use!
Really good review!!! Thanks
Debo, super stoked to see a review on halo rods, I've been looking at the halo black widow and the daiwa tatula xt. I've seen several great reviews on the tatula and your review of halo is the first I've seen besides the pro staff reviews for halo. Which rod would you suggest? They're right around the same price point currently. Tight lines feeshin friend
I'd like to see what you think of Falcon Rods. I got a Falcon Bucco SR Med Fast for Jerks and Bills. I thinks it's a great rod....though I don't have many rods so I can't really compare it to much.
I like the Outro music
They both look like really nice rods Debo. I’m curious what you think.
I really like that KS elite rod. Sounds like it would be a good chatterbait rod with its rating. Probably has a good parabolic bend, but a good stiff backbone.
Agreed, would be good for that!
Check out the Jason Christie Series Falcon Rods at $99.99 on TW. I have the crankbait version and it's pretty darn sensitive. Paired it with a silver max. It's my favorite combo that I own.
I’d throw that pumpkin or that mummy...those “frogs” looked great! 😁
Lmao, subtle enuendo. 😂
the frogs may scare the fish away !! I don't need any help doing that
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Based on lure rating it seems like they power their rods similar to Dobyns; their H fishes more like a MH and their MH fishes more like a M.
That’s really useful to know thanks
I would agree, a tad softer feel.
Debo,
The $100 rod looks real nice. Price is not always a determinate of quality and performance. I like what you said about the manufacturer’s rating systems. That is why I always cross my fingers when ordering online. I wish they made that rod in a Med Light or Light. I am going to buy a Curado 70 MGL and looking for a light powered rod in the 6’ 10” to 7’ 2” range. I want to toss shaky heads, finesse swim jigs and weightless plastics on it.
Thanx for the video I'm looking for a nice affordable rod and reel
Good vid Debo like all the scum frogs, I would probably fish the mummy frog
As usual " top shelf" vid!
👍
i love the edits 😂 by far my favorite channel !
Appreciate that a lot man!
Nice Fishing Rods my friend but I’ll have to stick with my Akataka Mega Wave lol I love that Rod but it only has 10 guides for the 7’3 mh but great Rod and half off on Amazon. The 7’3 m is hopefully my next one.
