*Overall **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I feel the Shadowfire 360 offers excellent value for those who are new to tenkara and don't want to break the bank on their first rod purchase.*
I got a $75 dollar lews Jason Christie reel at Walmart for $30. One of the best reels I own right now. It’s held up for 2 years and still feels brand new
I have an abu Garcia promax reel ($80) and a Lew’s carbon fire rod ($80) and it has been amazing. Reel casts super smooth, rod is lightweight and has great sensitivity. Ive used it for around 6 months and I’ve had no problems whatsoever. It’s fairly cheap for a caster, and it performance is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone as a first caster rod and reel.
This has been my first year fishing in Ohio. It’s been tough since I haven’t fished in a number of years. I moved up here three years ago. Im from Florida so I’m not used fishing the seasons and stuff, but I think I’m finally getting the hang of it 😂
I always go straight to the fishing department. I do not want to watch my wife shop for garments. She can call me when she is done. :) I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. Living in California now and loving the big water, but I do miss the walleye fishing days on my boat at the dam. I Just bought a new Diawa BG 5000 saltwater reel online for about $95....I would recommend the BG line of reels for anyone on a budget.
Worked in retail for 5 years, pretty sure he not following some type of rule. We had to wait 1 week before purchasing liquidation items and if you hid merchandise to buy it yourself .... good luck .
I'm big on sales, steals, discounts, etc. Black friday on tacklewharehouse is a great deal. It's literally 20% percent off of damn near everything. I plan on saving more money specifically for that this year. I bought a couple duckett ghost rods for my dad for christmas, for $80 each rather than $100. Those savings really add up quick. It's also a good time to stock up on soft plastics. Say you know you're going to probably go through "x amount" off craws, flukes, or senkos in the spring or summer, so you spent $80 on black friday and get $100 worth of product. It's a smart investment.
I got that halo rod for $32 and thought I was getting a steal lol. It’s true what you said about always be on the look out for bargains at random stores.
Online sales (holiday) and price matching. Avoiding tax and shipping helps. Put Google search to use. I rarely pay full retail for something unless I am in a pinch and want/need it right that second.
Great tips! I put in my notice at my job, and I'm going to apply at Dick's today. I'll probably have to take about a 500% pay cut, but that 25% off will be sweeeet! Wish me luck!
Bass pro shops have me 50% off on all Bass pro brand stuff , so like a 200 dollar carbonlite Combo was only 100. And then I got 15% off non bass pro owned brands but that excludes reels and boats lol. But like I got an Avid X for 148 dollars during a sale. I paid 18 bucks for 20 dollar Megabass crankbaits etc I spend every night laying in bed filling my tacklewarehouse, tacklejunkies and tackledirect Carts Lol I rarely buy but I catch clearance sales! Like Quantum Icon PT reels on sale right now for 79.99 on TW
Dicks sporting goods is a gold mine. My best find was veritas rods for 35 bucks each. I bought four of them, which is all they had. I've got gloomis rods for 100 too
Good Ol Boy #76 ahh...I'm in South Mississippi. Was going to say we could go hit up some places I know we could get you a good NEW setup for a reasonable price. I use to live in West memphis Arkansas but moved recently. If you ever make it down this way, message me and we will get you something new. I'm a 29yo disabled vet and all I do is fish and hunt.
I am disabled also but not a vet. I could never get in the military. I also fish a lot but cant hunt because to much walking and shooting a high power gun might mess up my spine even more. But thanks for the offer that means a lot.
Unless you are a pro tournament fisherman, you DON'T need expensive fishing gear. I've been fishing since I was 12 yrs old and bought most all my own stuff. You can catch plenty of fish on cheap rods and reels. Most any of my rods never cost over 40 bucks. They all cast lures. Just enjoy being out and able to fish. My best advice is to buy quality mono line and learn how to tie good knots. Change your line out every other year. You can buy several spools of Trilene or Stren for the price of one spool of super braid. Learn to fish well with inexpensive gear and you will always have that skill. If you depend on having 160 dollar rods and 30 dollar line. You will be disappointed when they dont produce 100%.
James Cooper I agree 100% We have a 2 acre pond at work behind the breakroom. I agreed to show the new guy the best spot before work one day. I had a zebco kiddie rod that I kept in my truck with an old zebco 33. I've had it forever and is perfect for areas with cramped casting. He made fun of my rod then bragged about his 100 rod and his 150 reel with the flipping switch. We fished 30 min and I had 8 bass and he had 1 missed hookset. He told me he would never make fun of my rig again. I've had more fish in that rig than all my others combined including some big Drum and 5lb bass.
I have about $300. My parents suck and they won’t let me buy anything bc I have a rod and reel combo already. I’m trying to get the abu black max combo. Anyone have any tips to convince them
I don't know if you have tried Wish app,it's a free app shopping store online not high end stuff mostly stuff from China but extremely cheap prices all kinds of fishing and everything else. ...i love it but i admit they are not abu Garcia but check it out!
TightLineTV hey I'm always looking for buddies to fish with (I have none) and I'm going to start an outdoors channel soon. Tryna hit up Rocky River for Steelhead when it clears up?
TightLineTV hey man great video, i have gotten into bass fishing and have a medium/light action spinning rod i am looking for a baitcasting combo under $50 any sugestions?
man, great video! Check out your sub number, you're right where AP Bassin was when he blew up. Well done, we are taking notes ;) hope to join you some day!
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 rip people off, you get ripped off. theres always a bigger fish in the sea. you start giving gifts to people who need it but cant afford. watch how fast it comes back double and triple. mark my words.
Ya I saw the halo rod at Walmart and it was knocked down to like $20 and the I was looking at the clearance area and they had a abu Garcia rod the vengeance for $15 and I was like that's a steal and so i grabed It it was a 6,6 medium action and I needed and a jerk bait rod/spinning bait rid so that's what I got it for great discounts man I was siked!
If you work at a store and put stuff in the back were customers can't buy it you will be fired. Have worked at a few stores and what he said in the beginning about putting stuff in the back to buy later is a one way ticket to the unemployment line.
Jeremy Newhouse if you set a couple things aside for yourself that you are indeed purchasing. It’s completely fine. Managers had 0 issue with it. Worked there for 2.5 years. They also provide hold tags for you ( worker or customer) where you can put your name in it for 24hrs. If it’s not bought in the 24hrs it gets moved back to the shelf. Good looks tho!
UPDATE: I made a video on the best CHEAP fishing combo money can buy. Check it on my channel or it is also linked at the end of this video! Thanks for watching -Tightlines
Are u in northeast Ohio?
*Overall **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I feel the Shadowfire 360 offers excellent value for those who are new to tenkara and don't want to break the bank on their first rod purchase.*
Your solution to getting good fishing gear is get a job, put in the effort to shop, and get involved with your community. That's great advice.
I got a $75 dollar lews Jason Christie reel at Walmart for $30. One of the best reels I own right now. It’s held up for 2 years and still feels brand new
I have an abu Garcia promax reel ($80) and a Lew’s carbon fire rod ($80) and it has been amazing. Reel casts super smooth, rod is lightweight and has great sensitivity.

Hell yea man I like shimano and dobyns exclusively and we know how pricy that can get but I buy most of my stuff used for great prices!
leo pena Bro, that's all I use. May favorite set up of mine is my Dobyns SA703C with my Curado K. What's your favorite rig?
Great stuff man, I would also add GO TO FISHING EXPOS!!! Always find great deals there, most of the time tax free
Lots of useful information here. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to know your keeping the good stuff in the back
Worked in retail for 5 years, pretty sure he not following some type of rule. We had to wait 1 week before purchasing liquidation items and if you hid merchandise to buy it yourself .... good luck .
I also worked at Dicks, got 2 st croix rods for $17. they had been sitting on the shelf for days. not breaking any rules.
Different retail chains have different polices smart one. I also worked at dicks and no rules were broken when I put stuff in the back neither.
Reasonable tips. The first is not so much but the other 2 were. I would also suggest thrift stores and Walmart.

I grabbed a Abu Veritas rod for $30 at Dicks marked down from $120! I'll be back in the fall for more now haha great video
Nice Video! Great Tips!!
Online sales (holiday) and price matching. Avoiding tax and shipping helps. Put Google search to use. I rarely pay full retail for something unless I am in a pinch and want/need it right that second.
Eeehhh buddy, that Abu Garcia setup you got is amazing and for the price!!! Pheew....fire!
Ebay and search the auctions on fishing gear, reels, etc
Great info dude👍🏼
very informative video thanks for the info
That was very helpful thanx
Great tips! I put in my notice at my job, and I'm going to apply at Dick's today. I'll probably have to take about a 500% pay cut, but that 25% off will be sweeeet! Wish me luck!
NPC12146 bro, your logic is fucked
I agree with everything you said! I make good money but I still like a great deal! I’ve found some good deals before just like your talking about!

Subscribed!!
Its the fishermen who makes the rod honestly… You can catch absolutely monsters with a zebco dock demon if you know how to
Thanks I'm also from Ohio and this video help a lot !!
I got me an abu Garcia for $23 at Walmart. It’s my favorite rod so far.
I just found CRAZY deals last 2 weeks, 14,000 yards of 12 lb mono, $10
What's that forum?
Kind of wish I capitalized on the discount part when I worked at academy ours was only 10% but it goes along way
In 2015 I bought 9 of those shimano crucial rods for $42 a piece at dicks. Best deal I have ever seen on rods.
go easy on that crucial mine snapped on a 4 pounder but shimano replaced it with a zodias.
Yard sales is the only way I can get fishing stuff. I would die if I got anything new.

I wish the saltwater gear is cheap one VSX 250 and Lamiglass GSB 11ft custom is like $2000.00
im new to your channel, what part of ohio are you from?
Should be common sense, but yes people insist on paying the retail price.
Now, I just can`t find these kinds of deals for high end reels and rods.

No one should EVER be reduced to buying fishing gear from Wal-Mart.
