I have a few ugly sticks but I like the tiger lite ones the best. I just got a rare holy grail of catfish rods , a 7'6" Berkley E Cat E glass rod. Super hard to find, they stopped making them a few years ago. They were awesome rods. I'll use mine for big striper swimbaits and glidebaits
Any ideea how it can be connected to the "station"/main bait alarm? I have 4+1 but 2 of them loose connection with the main alarm system. Thank you for your answer.
I struggle to think of any other reel that has so much affection, memories, and a love than the Zebco 33, something that just spans so many generations.
I just picked up a Med, fast 6.0ft Brutus rod. I had to retire my old Quantum rod. It will be my new bobber rod to fish from the shore. I use my longer and expensive Combos for fishing from my boat. I use shorter rods from docks and a kayak.
That's why I never use braid, braid will do that to any guide on any pole. Braid is the worst line I ever used. I used it when I was a kid. When I grew up I went to straight mono.. it breaks less,. It's more abrasive resistant, I never understood why someone would put braid on a reel and then put the last ten feet of the line with mono. Your just fishing with the last ten feet of your line, the braid becomes irrelevant.
As someone who fishes with rod and reel. I gotta say it’s extremely frustrating pulling up to a spot and seeing bank poles everywhere. The fact you can have that many hooks in the water and not even be there is a joke in my opinion. I’m all for people feeding there families but bank poles are for people who can’t fish. Wish DNR wasn’t a joke and would ban them.
@@ryanharrod1155 Thanks for taking the time to convey your opinion. I disagree, in general, with your thoughts. Catching large catfish on bank poles is not "easy" and not just anyone is making that happen. It takes a good amount of watercraft skills to find good locations (not relying on fish finders and live scopes to fish for us), hours of bait fishing to get proper live bait to entice the trophy sized fish, and closely following water levels/weather patterns. Additionally, it is natural to look at things through your own personal lens based upon your State and location, but where this fishing took place, only 5 bank poles per person are allowed. Lastly, we are strong believers in catch and release. As are many of the folks who are proficient and skilled with bank poles in our area, which is why you see videos like this with tremendous fish. Thanks for watching the video and good luck with your fishing!
@@UnorthodoxOutdoorsTV I agree with some of the stuff you’re saying but people can have 50 hooks per person in my state. This isn’t a big river either. 50 hooks per person is an absolute joke. I think you should have to be on the water if you have bank poles too.
Just getting around to seeing this. You and your team have quite the set up going on there. Nice when you can back up to your fishing spot and have a great session like that. Always enjoy watching you all make memories together.
I've been making my own boilies for a year or so now. I do feel like they are the superior bait if you can the fish to eat them! Obviously corn is easier!
Great video! Just came across your site, I’m considering changing/upgrading from a set of Sonik 9 foot Ext. rods to 10 or 12 foot rods from another brand. The average carp I catch is an upper double and the venues I go to are small, but weedy sometimes. As you know living in the US, we don’t get a chance to touch or feel the equipment before we buy it, and 12 foot rods are a lot longer than anything I’ve ever used in my life. In other words they feel a bit awkward in my hands (I own a 12ft Sonik Spod Rod). Would you recommend moving up to a 10 foot rod from the 9ft rods I currently own or straight up to a 12 foot? I’ve been told that 10 foot rods tend to be a bit stiff??? , I don’t know because I haven’t had a chance to feel any. Thanks for your thoughts!
After several years of carp angling, and a lot of rods, my preference is 7-9 ft rods. Make sure to check out our carp fishing playlist to see some of the various rods used and my experiences with them. Glad you found the channel and enjoyed the video 👍
Not sure if you've found them yet, but there are two small tabs on the outside edge of each battery holder that swivel towards the center to keep the batteries in place. Great video!
I have the gfx spinning chad ferguson rod. Every reel I put on it feels bumpy when reeling in. Even feels that way on the new hog seeker too. Any ideas why. I can't figure it out
