There's been a TON of misconceptions about the best rod actions for bass fishing over the years. In this video I explain my opinions regarding the IDEAL actions for a variety of techniques, as well as the differences between rod power and action.

I don't think it was boring. I think is an awesome point of education. Till I started building rods I didn't TRULY know or understand what power vs action actually did for a fisherman. Keep up the good work!

@carloscolon4004 6 лет назад

Grabbing one of these next week they look great. You call it boring, this explained things in simple terms where no one else on youtube has...

@dennisnicholson952 5 лет назад

A couple of months ago, I called customer service at St. Croix. and asked the nice lady, with whom I spoke, why the majority of their rods were fast action. Her answer, essentially, was that it allowed a better hookset. This reflects what you are saying in this video about rod manufacturers and their emphasis on fast and extremely fast actions. Over time, I have come to think that slower-action rods have better castability. In addition, l, like you, have realized that the power ratings among manufacturers is all over the place. Therefore, what I prefer to look at, when I am researching rods is 1) the range of pounds-test line that it accommodates and 2) the range of lure weights. Then, I look at the rod's action. I'm sure that not everyone will do it my way but my approach just make sense to me. Thank you for this video. I learned a lot.

@Jschuhfishing 6 лет назад

I've literally been searching for this video, then you post it today.. what a surprise, Milliken is on point. As always. Sick vid

@patrickconnors8403 6 лет назад

I didn't find it boring and in fact noticed while fishing yesterday some the characteristics you described in the three different rod brands used, all of which were 7' MH. As far as differences, not least of which was how each worked differently though labelled the same from the tips and throughout the blanks. Great information again Ben. I'm still learning, including how to cast without creating horrific backlashes, lol.

@coletrueblood909 6 лет назад

NOT BORING. Bro you are one of the the most knowledgeable anglers available as a video resource and I cannot put in words how valuable that is to novice anglers like myself. Not to mention that not many other people would actually take the time to explain something like this. Thanks again for the great information man, keep up the good work!

@garrettaustin6675 6 лет назад

I'm going to watch this a couple more times, love these informative videos! You put me on good lures and soft baits so learning about these rods also will be going a long way. Much appreciated!

@billythompson6435 6 лет назад

This video was not boring at all. This is the stuff I need to learn more about, been fishing for awhile but never really understood all the difference in the rods. Keep it up man love all your videos

@michaelrichards941 6 лет назад

These are the type of videos I beliieve more of the utube fisher guys should do its.cool watching fish be caught but these informative type vids are what help viewers catch fish and not waste hundreds of dollars on the wrong equipment. Great job ! Keep it up.PEACE!!!

@kody6392 6 лет назад

I just found your channel and subscribed and from the videos I’ve seen so far I’ve learned a good amount. I’m truly appreciative you take the time to teach people these kind of things. Lookin forward to more of your videos

@jasonkrych7251 6 лет назад

Congrats on 100k man thats awesome! Love your videos!

@coreycreppel9407 6 лет назад

That explanation was 💯... Spot on! Can't explain the importance of having the proper rod enough. It's hard enough to get a bite some times, much worse when losing the few fish that do bite because of a poor hookset or rod.

@danielbailey9396 6 лет назад

Thank you. That helped me out immensely.

@pennybenning8010 6 лет назад

Congratulations!!!! on 100K love your videos

@rh5971 5 лет назад

I love this video because I was able to think of specific times that I lost my good fish because the action on the rod was too loose. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Ben!

@scottseith2134 6 лет назад

Thanks for the vid. I’ve been looking to upgrade my rod arsenal

@jerrybrown3991 6 лет назад

Loved that video man. Great detailed info.

@0riginall337 6 лет назад

Good advice. People easily get confused about the action and the thickness. Personally, i like a slow action with a medium to medium light backbone rod

@davidhathaway4267 5 лет назад

This was more informative than you think. I'd like to know what Rods you got (6th sense of course) and what use you are putting them to.

@kevinorr2065 6 лет назад

Love the info videos. Keep them coming.

@luketrent7803 6 лет назад

Congrats 100k!!!! keep the content coming

@rickp2312 6 лет назад

Thanks for the great information brother. Keep catching and I’ll keep watching. Going to check into 6th Sense website!

@joshuaritterhouse8076 6 лет назад

As always, another awesome video!!! I was going to buy some rods this evening, and having the info in this video helped a lot before going out to buy!!! Perfect timing!!! Thanks!!! We're going on a trip from Casper Wyoming to the black hills very soon to fish some different lakes for several species of fish. Hope our slaunch hunter shirts get here before we leave!!! Keep making vids, we're watching man!!!

@soonerbyxdoubled 6 лет назад

So glad you made this video! I've been trying to explain this to my son, but he likes you more And now he gets it!

@xxcaseyxxc 6 лет назад

I just ordered the 7'3 heavy fast, love everything from 6th Sense so I can't imagine these not being great.

@justinestes1719 5 лет назад

Absolutely love the video. I have been fishing my entire life but just now starting to get educated on everything. Please keep this coming.

@trzebiatowskib 6 лет назад

Just got into fishing serious just last year. And have been trying to figure out which and what kind of setup I want to get and use. This video helped out a ton on giving me things to look at... and look for... and I'm seriously gonna go give these new rods a try.. perfect timing with them coming out as it's open water time almost.

@mattryan4522 6 лет назад

Excellent video, it's been confusing for me with all the different rods out there and since I just started back fishing I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos I appreciate all that you're doing for us. One hunnit by tomorrow.

@DubH46 6 лет назад

Awesome info. Love it when you give us a technical side to why things work. I've fished for a long time, but never got technical on this stuff. Thanks sir!

@littycommitee9477 6 лет назад

brilliant vid very helpful thank you, keep up with the good work

@toddmfd 6 лет назад

Will you do a video of which 6th sense rods you use for each presentation.

@210HAVOK 6 лет назад

Congrats on 100K! You deserve it!!

@tcfullthrottle 6 лет назад

Vey good opinions, this is a video I've been waiting for after months of researching.

@TobuscusFan72 6 лет назад

As a fairly amateur, self-taught fisherman this type of video is great. Definitely helps me with the small details in gear and techniques.

@joshuaherring6504 5 лет назад

Thanks alot for this video you have solved a big problem that has developed recently with some new rods i got

@jasongoux2018 6 лет назад

Very informative video. I've gone to more parabolic rods over the last couple years, especially for punching & frogs. My favorite flipping rod is the Kistler Helium M.A.D. 7'11" HModF rod. I punch, throw deep cranks & swim baits with it. But for 1/4-3/8 oz, t-rig worms in deep water, making long casts, I use GLX 893 (7'5" MHXF). Enjoyed the vid.

@renegadeazbassin374 6 лет назад

Not boring at all! Very informative. Thanks for making this video!

@giancruz6309 5 лет назад

Im one of your newer subcribers and I really appreciate this cause nobody has explained what a rod is for what im looking to use Thanks!!

@samuelgraham8454 6 лет назад

Finally! I have been watching a ton of guys on here, but once again you put yourself ahead of the game. By far the best on RU-vid

@jschang29 6 лет назад

I like this information. I know the feeling of losing frog fish repeatedly. Stay informative. Keep sharing your opinion because not everyone fishes the same way but we all have similar problems. Everyone solves it differently as well. From the type of line you use to the rod and even the type of lure. Keep up the good work.

@slanier8730 6 лет назад

Really like the video. Keep up the good work

@budgulick 6 лет назад

Thank you. I was always under the impression that fast tips were better. This was very interesting and helpful. I love the video's, they are making me a better angler .

@TheRemnantGuy 6 лет назад

Awesome to see the in-depth videos, man!

@jtnoutdoors2991 6 лет назад

Love the videos man keep them coming! I actually learned a lot in this video and I've learned a lot from your videos in general!

@vernonlaxton3933 6 лет назад

What great info, not boring really cranked for of this type of video education. Can hardly wait to check my current tackle

@richardlovett5187 6 лет назад

Thanks for the information dude

@tylerdawson4591 6 лет назад

Very interesting take, and very informative. I’ve never really given a moderate action a try on flipping and jigs. I’ve always used fast and extra fast. But... after watching this I think im going to give a mod fast rod a try on my slower moving stuff. Thanks for the great info.

@jj1154_ 6 лет назад

Congrats on 100K man! You definitely deserve it! Can’t wait to see where you go next!

@randalljessee5443 6 лет назад

So glad you made this video it's so much easier for me to explain to buddy's the concept of actions now instead of breaking it down I just send this video

@TheAmericanAngling 6 лет назад

One of the best explanations of rod action/power. Another MAJOR thing people ignore is the spine in a rod - a lot of rods you'll have a "jump point" where the blank will essentially click over. Had several rods from a certain company we reviewed and got told to pull down.

@LukeBarnes5150 6 лет назад

Super informative and exactly what I needed to know. Buying a new rod soon and now I know what to look for! Cant afford a 6th Sense rod but will get one that suits what I need now! Thanks MFer!

@austinmaxey1524 6 лет назад

This was an excellent video and great points made. Thanks bro

@tylerstewart8662 6 лет назад

Hey man I know you'll probably never see this comment but I'm a husband and a father of 3 boys an owner of a company and I'm 23. To see you put the fish game on your back and not cop out to the ignorance of the biz. It's inspiring man. Bass fishing saved me and your making new fisherman everyday. Keep up the good work and just keep doing you and nail them slonches. Mfer 4life

@daveferguson4090 6 лет назад

Great information Ben. Thank you!

@ajgeiger7921 6 лет назад

Holy cow I found my way out of the forest of new rods! Thanks man that helped a TON. Can't wait to see how you like the new lux!

@capitolbassfishing 6 лет назад

Great rundown! Thanks!

@lowelltolliver4829 3 года назад

Im new to the angler scene but I do have a good sense, and your point is well taken I'll be searching for that rod to start with a great catch! thanks for passing on great Tips.

@michaelbloss1884 6 лет назад

I was always wondering what the actions were. This really explained it well. I've been having problems setting the hook now I know why. Guess it's time to upgrade my equipment again lol.

@davidhelfrich6487 6 лет назад

100k congrats!

@lesserkey 2 года назад

This vid was actually really helpful. I'd like to see more content like this. Maybe about reels and how they work best for specific styles of fishing

@michaelaldernan9723 6 лет назад

Awesome video man, always love to get more knowledge!

@michaelleavell3176 6 лет назад

Power vs action has always confused me. I have done some research and always come up short. This was a really helpful video. Thank you!

@derektanner6589 6 лет назад

Awesome video I never played too much attention to the action of a rod before but, because of your video I have MUCH better understanding of how they work. Btw the 6th sence rods look killer!

@mattfields8928 6 лет назад

Found the information easy to understand, incredibly helpful and your visual demonstrations we're spot on.

@neilrech933 6 лет назад

One of the best I have seen from you

@mobassintv4603 6 лет назад

Awesome video definitely opened my mind i thought a fast tip was a cure all but this made me rethink that

@micahwingate3332 6 лет назад

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain why on all your videos. I enjoy learning these new techniques and also learning the differences in equipment used. You are the man!!!! Keep the videos coming.

@brandonjarnigan4944 6 лет назад

Loved this. As someone who is really looking to expand my rod collection this is very informative

@rexcameron4103 6 лет назад

Thank you I've alwaysed just went with the flow and thought it was me but this explains a lot. I'm more comfortable with rod selection now.

@kellymason4190 6 лет назад

Thnx for the explanation man. Helped me understand how this could affect the way I fish in different techniques. 🤙🏻

@joebleaux7039 6 лет назад

This is one of your best videos. Thank you for the great lesson, i truly appreciate the work you did for us. Thanks again! Tight lines!

@laszlobacs9347 Год назад

Great presentation with attention to details and I absolutely agree with everything you said in this video. Cheers.

@k-mparker 3 года назад

Very comprehensive explanation of the rods!!! I like how you went back in time and present day pointing out the discrepancies of the advertised performance in rods. The anecdotes were perrrrrfect coupled with analogies!!! Removed a LOT of ambiguity in regards to rods - which still exists today. Tooooo bad there is no industry standard on the power and action of rods for the manufacturers to adhere to. Best dang information I’ve ever seen or heard from anybody on explaining rods!!!!👍😃🍻🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

@bigo573 6 лет назад

Thanks a million for this video, it's super helpful to me.

@brandonbastian1725 6 лет назад

Never imagined this much science goes into rods. Thank you for the info.

@mattthomas3938 6 лет назад

Thanks for education. Learning something new everyday. Prof. Milliken.

@silverado1513 6 лет назад

Mf, Great informational vid. I liked how you used the weights to give a visual of the rod action. 👍

@markmcadams757 6 лет назад

Not boring at all. Very informative. Always trying to conform my rods to technique and as a result now have way too many rods and after watching this may be adding a 6th sense or two to the arsenal .Lol

@j.j.clingman4083 6 лет назад

Very very very good exsplanation on the actions of different rods! It definitely helped me look at rods differently!! But as always Millikan has the best explanation!!
