Whether you are buying these 3 rods or 3 other rods....get a rod designed for what you want to do.

Great advice!! How about a segment on knot tying? your fav knots and such
I second the knot tying video.
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.
Tom, I always appreciate the insightful tips you provide us anglers. As much as I enjoy watching you on the water and anticipating the glimpse of your catch after hearing "hooked up, fish on!," take a day off, stay home in your office, and please, please make a video about attaching your fluorocarbon leaders to your braided line. This angler wants your secret. I've tried many types of knots for it, and been frustrated with so many videos/articles explaining technique, that you would do this fishing community a favor by walking us through your technique. Keep up the great content!
There's so many knot videos on youtube man, I don't think Tom does anything that special honestly. Double uni, double surgeons, whatever. Just cut the tags short and you're good. Ideally you don't have to reel it through your guides much and they aren't real tiny ones
Small barrel swivel works fine, instead of having to learn a line to line knot. I do really like the rp knot, goes through line guides a lot smoother than double uni knot, but it’s a slightly more advanced knot, one you would want to tie at home, not on the water. Works great for braid to fluoride and is also the best for mono backing to braid.
I just use an Albright knot 👍🏻
Another great vid Tom! Running all 13 rods this season up here in Saskatchewan. Hoping to pump out some walleye videos - so always enjoy your educational content.
You sold that mojo so hard back in the day, that I'm already stocked up on those for Walleye!
LOL same! Those bass mojo rods are hard to beat for the price. LOVE St. Croix!
Me too!
I second that, and for the use and abuse my rods go through 120-150$ is enough
I bought one and the carbon x 2000! Wana be like Tom! Getting back into fishing. Always liked fishing, just never knew how to fish. Thanks Tom! Keep pumping em out brother. God bless
@@tylerrutherford4556 Great combo! I have 2 of the same setup
Dude your hands down my favorite guy for solid walleye info... nail it everytime thanks
Picked up 2 Elliot Rods Friday to fish with on Red Lake for MN opener.
7'3 ML fast and a 7'3 L fast!
I'm now totally an hooked on them!
Also paired them with Piscifun reels!
I asked a guy at Elliot where to find them. He informed me that a shop close by was receiving an order. Call the shop and bought them over the phone.
I also made sure they knew that Tom Boley's CZcams videos were the reason I want to try Elliot Rods!!
Loved this video. Always interested in how they classify these rods. You explained it very well.
Yes would be great to see how you tie onto jigs, blades, etc. Thanks Tom!
Tom just stared watching your videos i'am hooked Thanks
Love those medium lite rods! Great application break down.
You are the man! Your knowledge is incredible and videos are on point! I have been following you since last year and thru the hard water season. I was really hoping to put an elusive eye in the Omaha metro waters top side with your help but have been unsuccessful to this point! Starting to think they are not any here but I’ve seen pictures. Your videos keep me positive! Thanks for everything you do.
I usually use 7ft medium action Shimano rod (sojourn) with 8-10lb test for fishing for walleye. I find using a bigger rod or heavier action rod, it isn't as much fun as feeling the fight on a lighter rod. Love your videos tho man, I've used a lot of of your tips on catching walleye.
Great break down of applications and rod differences.
Just picked up a Pisifun rod. Thanks for the discount Tom! Luv the content.
devils lake, north dakota checking in with a thumbs up
Thanks for all the info Tom, you always provide great intel and know your stuff.
Great information... I used to use one rod for everything, and I didn't mind it, but with the right setup, it makes u a person better, so now I have multiple thanks Tom... so quick question do u sell your old equipment..?
I bought the Piscifun Carbon 2000 reel on your recommendation. Tremendous performance! I got the St. Croix Mojo Bass rod thanks to you again. Now I must buy the Elliot rod WTF 😬
Is the piscifun carbon still treating you good?
Gonna think I'm nuts but I use a g loomis 7'11" light action pro green salt water for small jigs and blade baits!!! Just outstanding.
Great video. Thanks Tom
I'd also like to see a reel video. I know you use the carbon x alot but it would be great to see what else you enjoy using. It looks like you have a pile of the Viper reels as well. Thanks for putting out great content
Tom, if you had to pick one rod that would apply in all 3 situations what would your choice be?
Super ! Appreciate the info . Thank You Tom !
bro, I can't fish so I guess your the next best thing...nice footage on all your stuff. Love that Pendu jig, and your knowledge is killer broski. I do planer boards on Koshkonong down here down south. Love the eyes....love them.... Elliot is the brand? I run all, or most of my goto's St. Croix. Very nice boat...Love the duct tape job on the holder....superb. My grandpa would be impressed...Love the videos for sure
Hey Tom, Elliott don’t make the 6’9 or the 7’3. So would you do the 7’2 and the 7’4 instead? Thank you.
What knot do you use for braid to fluorocarbon? And what size reel are you using?
Great advice! Thanks for sharing
Always excellent videos! Thanks.
Great information love the breakdown if you could gave one rod which would it be.
12th...
Time to turn the bell notification on!
Great advice. The more I fish the I see the right equipment is critical to success ! Hooked Up Fish On! Any thoughts on downriggers ? Haven’t seen u fish with any or talk about them. Stay warm !
Great video awesome information
Hey man. Great advice on rods. Been looking so great timing. Just curious what is the action on the two medium Lites? I know there softer but I’m used to hear moderate or mod fast. They are different so wondering just how soft I should get. Thanks man and keep up the awesome videos. 🍻
Bro ur like the KVD of walleye fishing
Médium light I’m gonna look for thanks
Have you had good luck with Carbon X reels? I run Shimano but looking at picking up a 7 ft rood as you suggest and might as well get a new reel lol...
Love your vids
Hey Tom, so is it safe to say these 3 rods would be listed as:
7'6" Medium power (w/light action tip)
7'3" Medium power (w/light action tip)
6'9" Medium power (w/fast action tip)
...or as:
7'6" Medium Light power
7'3" Medium Light power
6'9" Medium power (fast tip)
...just for more clarification? Because there can be a world of difference between a Medium power rod and Medium Light.
So Elliot rods are all you promote now?
Great video! Where’s the hat merch though!?
What line are you using
Nice 👍
Awesome video!! I have a st croix eyecon 6'8 for power fishing. Im looking for a more finesse rod,rigging,jig rod would a mojo bass 6'10 med lighr xf be a good choice?
St.croix with the xfast or even the fast action tips are fairly stiff for finesse presentation
I've been rocking doomsday 45 rods... I wish they made a 6'6 to 6'9 spinner for jigging tho😑
Not related to this video , if I waypoint fish on SI will those Wp only show up on map screen? And how do you think it would wrk to have them available on the SI screen?? I run same Helix 9 gn3 you have shown in past vids!
Have you tried Sunline X plasma Asegai braid? I really like it. Super smooth and thin
What pound test you running? I found that line was super wiry for how thin it was. I like my braids a little more on the limp side, so I stick with super slick v2 or Berkley x9 in 8lb.
Do you tie line to line for your main/leader or use a swivel?
how about a top 3 smallmouth rods video . thanks for sharing.
When are we going to get some more Lake Superior stuff?
This weekend I believe
What brand of braided line do you use?
Elliot does not ship into Canada .....not sure why
Tom can I buy the carbon x 2000 right from you?
1:15 - "small-eye" rods. 😂
Hello from Kentucky, Tom! What size Carbon X reel do you prefer? Im planning to buy a couple combos for my son, and can't decide on the 1000 or 2000 models. Thanks!
2000 is what I use. Use code TOM15 at checkout to save some money!
@@TomBoley thank you. Best of luck to ya this season! Keep those videos comin'.
Do you have alot of problems with the flouro breaking off when catching the toothy fish
I usually run steel loaders would there be a reason not to vs running them
Do you prefer 2 piece or 1 piece
1 piece no doubt!
One piece unless u need it to fit in a car or motorcycle or ect.... i will never buy a two peice again, 2peice crap always comes apart and moves and you probably get better sensitivity with one peice!
Lake chips?
LakeMaster most likely with his Humminbird units.
Do you ever use just mono on a rod?
I believe he said he'll use straight mono when he is snap jigging with raps or the acme hyper rattles. I was wondering the same thing.
@@randyg1524 thanks, must’ve missed that part
Feels good to be first
Speak teacher.
Must be nice to have sponsors to toss you 289$ rods. lol tell biden to give me more stimulus i might be able to afford it then.
