Surprised you didn't mention those stupid monthly subscription boxes. Same baits that you'd walk right past at walmart all of a sudden get put in a box together and "wow...great value, look at all you get!"
I stopped getting those a year ago. I had enough rubber craws to fill up a couple tackle boxes .
I gave most of the stuff away for birthday presents
Yup! And they throw in some stupid stickers as if it's some big deal...😂
The only ones I trust are the mystery tackle boxes. All the other ones seem to be rip offs
Funny you say this i just had a scam pop up that if you bought these stupid sticker decals basically you could become a bait tester. I think they just realllly wanted to get rid of those overpriced stickers 😂
I DID resist the subscriptions.
I needed this video about 10 years and $500k ago 😅
Only $500k...rookie numbers! 🙂
Unfortunately I started fishing about 56 years ago so you can imagine what my garage looks like. My garage is better stocked than any of my bait and tackle shops
That’s including a 30ft boat right? 😅😂
You invested in yourself, brother, and your happiness. That's priceless. Good for you!
500k means you worked extremely hard to earn even more. When it's all over, u can say NO REGRETS!
Mr. N.Q. your tooooooo late. I have a tackle shop in my boat. 19 Skeeter 46 rods 400 crankbaits ...A packed compartment of plastics w/ hooks and weights. I have enough tungsten in my boat to sink it. Lol
My boat went from 55mph to 45 mph. It's fully loaded, packed compartments, with only me in it!
🤣🤣
My boat's too small for all my gear 😅 it would sink it 😂 that's why I just built a 24x9ft shed last summer... the wife thinks our basement is huge now 😂
At least you can carry all your tackle. All of my tackle would sink your boat.
My boat is a leaky whitewater raft 😂😂😂 need to repair it once and for all
Bass only see a spectrum of all colors. Crazy detailed baits are an absolute hustle. Although I’m a Megabass freak so I’m really talking to my self haha.
Love my Megabass jerkbaits.
Ain't nothing wrong with having a cool collection 🤙
Ya when your into it like we are details matter to us. They aren't just lures their works of art we are proud of owning and fishing. Right 👍
Not including the shitty hooks on mega bass products. It’s a shame we pay so much for there products and can’t put on a half decent hook
@@firewater652 let me correct you. There outbarb hooks are amazing. Just can’t use an overpowered setup like to heavy of line combined with to stiff a rod. The Megabass Vision 110 jerkabait was really designed to use 8# fluorocarbon although I run 10# but also on the P5 110 stick that’s soft enough to not bend out the hooks. Gotta watch your rod strength if you’re bending the hooks out. The hooks on the DeepX300 and Deep Six I’ve never had an issue with either
Love it! Since I'm an OLD (70+) kayak fisher, these tips are Fan-BASS-Tic! Thanks!

Basshole is creative
Great advice. Not just to save some money but to keep things more organized and neat. Also easier to find when you need.
Great advice... I'm a Northeastern New York/Hudson valley, Great lakes fisherman and about two weeks ago I started breaking down what works me. I'm a jigger, Hair jigging for Smallmouth and a drop Shotter and big ass worm guy no doubt about it. I like many of us fell for the colors. But in reality what do Bass really see...they don't see the detail in the lures for fact it's all directed towards the angler , most of the time its profile and only profile. My fishing has improved greatly since I took on that way of thinking. So more then half of my stuff is for sale and my stress level has dropped while fishing {we all get a little stressed} you know its true. Bottom line stick with what works, build up the confidence with what works for you, you'll save money and enjoy fishing again......
50+ years of fishing . My tackle boxes alone filled my full sized pickup bed 1 1/2 times when I moved it .
I have 72 fishing rods .
That what happens when you go to sporting goods stores that are going out of business . I have not bought any tackle in 12 years so far . But its nice when you get the tackle for over 75% off . Most poles are regularly $300 or more , i paid $20-50 each . My favorite pole cost me a big $10 .
Timely. This is exactly what I have been doing the last few days. I have narrowed down to one medium spinning rod for Ned and wacky. One MH for casting with a flouro reel and a braid reel. I too got tired of too many options and too many rods. I have really narrowed down my tackle to what techniques I actually enjoy, not what the pros do.
I have duplicates of lures because my dumbass is guaranteed to lose one or two to a rock or a log lol
I worked in the tackle industry for over 15 years, retail and wholesale. I can honestly say that most lures on the market are made to catch fishermen first and fish second. Most of the lures I use on a daily basis are probably over 30 years old, and they still work fine. They look and sound different than a lot of today's baits. Most of my rods and reels are from the same time frame. I have no use for a gear ratio higher than 6:1, and most of my reels are slower than that.
If you want to have "everything" you need like 3 different kind of every style baits. So its only 50 16 different styles. Medium size in 3 colours. Cloudy, sunny and crazy. Thats all you ever need. Best is the.one in water.
Wish this video would’ve come out 2 weeks ago. 😔. I’m fairly new to the sport, so after watching quite a few videos on what would need to fish at different times of the year, I ended up spending a good amount of money on two/three of everything. This is the video I was really looking for a few weeks ago. Just what a guy needs to get a good start, not so much, what the color of the water is, multiplied by the temperature, divided by the depth etc. 😆
Great video. Most of the crap we buy never catches fish. But it’s great for the fishing tackle suppliers. I’m of the same mindset now and only buy what I know will catch fish.
I have one 6.5 foot bait caster that I fish all that you just said. And I've never used braid.
I started with straight fluorocarbon, but now I use braid with a 6ft leader.
Any advice on a bait caster setup for pike , tiger muskie?
I've always looked at it as not only A bass fishing passion but Also an awesome hobby of collecting hundreds of brands colors and styles of crank baits Just like having a crank bait museum that will eventually be handed down to my son🙂
I'm a bank only bass fisherman (hopefully not for long) I bring 3-4 tackle boxes with a big soft plastics bag and always have 4-5 rods. A bit overkill but I want to have about everything I need on standby
Great video Nathan! Thanks!
I appreciate your honesty !!!!!
Hello I'm a budget kind of parson I love and enjoy saltwater pier fishing to catch pacific mackerel fish eat catch and cook and I always buy inexpensive stuff and my tackle boxes are always full of lures like metal lures for any species of fish and different lures it's always good to have 4 or more tackle boxes with variety of fishing lures in saltwater pier fishing you never know what the fish will bite because saltwater fish are predictors for me it's 1/0 or 2/0 maby 3/0 and yes plenty of drop shot hooks and weights and soft plastic baits
I flyfish, and I use one 8' graphite rod, four reels with different fly lines, a fast sinking, a slow sinking, a floating, a floating with a sinking tip, and a fly box with about a hundred flies, but only about a dozen patterns. I do very well compared to the other anglers who show up with an entire tackle shop. They spend more time in their tackle box than they do fishing.
Great video. Which I had seen this years and thousands of dollars ago😂
Fantastic! Well done Nathan. Very pertinent information.
Set up a simple laptop bag. Between fly boxes and 3500 & 3700 slims. Grab and go
To be completely honest the only lure I "need" is small Mr Twister jigs. 2nd would be top water lures of just about any kind because strikes on the surface are so exciting.
Totally agree I would rather have a stack of baits I know work and just fish then to try to get a perfect bait for every situation learned this with spinner baits there were a couple years where I experimented with tons nowadays I pretty much exclusively just buy two color patterns of war eagles and just go out and fish
Great channel. Tons of information for newer guys like me. Thanks brotha'.
Keep it Simple....nowadays its crazy how much non-sense stuff there is out there just for bass fishing. I was reading a bait description by a bait making company and the new words they are currently adding to describe their new soft plastics are FFS and "video game bait". LOL
Bass are reaction strikers,there is no need to have more than 1 or 2 lures. They'll hit sh!t on a hook if you can make it stick.
In our local lake (8300 acre) and river we have Gills,Crappie,whitebass,white/yellow perch,,fallfish,suckers,rockabss,Lg/Sm bass,striper,carp,channel cat,lakers,walleye,musky,tiger musky,pike,pickerel,trout (from stocked tributaries) and maybe a few others I'm forgetting about. They just recently found some Flathead in a shocking a couple years ago.
I have one bag with 6 3700's stuffed with plastics and lures for Crappie and other panfish,a small bag with 4 3600's for everything else and a Aventik pouch for my cat rigs.I don't target bass I did when I was a teen,but there's more challenging and a heck of a lot better tasting fish in the water than a stinking bass. They're the 2nd easiest fish to catch,right behind gills an sunnies.
Wow, this was quite an informative video. Thank you.
I’ll have to watch a few more and see if I want to subscribe.
Thank you!
Love you videos and how you think about the beginners from rods, reels, baits and lures and line and hooks. Watch video you post. Thank you
As a bank angler with 12 combo's, 300 cranks and over 500 packets of plastics 🤦♂️
I have a tackle shop scattered at the bottom of all the bodies of water, I ever fished....
Great comment section, love the fishing community
I have 2 rods 1 ultralight that im take everything from persh to trouth and pike whit and 1 bigger for everything else salmon sea trouth and what have you and one tacklebox . You have a drag on your real use it 😉
Ive caught some very large fish on an ultralight, but have almost as many. When a 5-10 pound fish dives deep into a bed of weeds it's game over on an ultralight with 4 lb test.
OMG, the best video for what fits my ideal style even though I am a noob and just spent a ridiculous amount of money on tackle🤦🏻♂️ Thank YOU!!!! Also, do you do saltwater fishing. I need you ti dissect salt water for me like you just did fresh. PLEASE..!!!!
Great video Nathan thanks 👍
Honesty is the best policy
great video glad i come across it thanks
Thank you!
Me with 50 lucky craft and 40 tadys lol. We are such hoarders.
My van has two metal cabinets filled with soft plastics in a giant tackle box filled with hard body lures I've wasted a lot of money because I only use like 10% of it
Medium light 6’6 spinning rod
10lb braid with 8lb leader
2500 size reel
1/8oz-3/8 oz jig heads
4” minnow or any type of jig
I never get skunked.
Me.....oh shit, new spring kvd crank baits are on the shelf....i have most of these already actually.....screw it, i need backups incase I get snagged up lol
2:38 BUY Berkley Vanish regular spools of fluorocarbon for leader material. This is dirt cheap and is all that is ever needed for leader. Nobody should be buying fluorocarbon leader spools unless, maybe, professional tournament fishing saltwater.
Buy stren original (few other choices are good like academy sports h2o and SeaKnight monster blade) for spools for mono leader and keep in mind mono leader is better most of the time vs fluro - you don't really need to worry about stretch in leader length.
you can save money by realizing that fish are very simple creatures, they dont care what color your fishing line or what color you bait is.. they just need to spot the lure, and their instincts will take over. buy cheap lures on sale and modify them yourself. i always go to spoon lures as my main staple.
Did you just tell me to stop buying tackle?
Did you..?
What are you? A wife?
Imma go buy some plastic worms right freaking NOW!!!
get a zebco, eagle claws and worms for about $50 saved you thousands.
Lmao Now you tell me ! Now that my garage is my own Bass Pro shop ! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Gonna start sizing down today ! Thanks. 🙏🏾 for my reality check 😂 By the way ! I have caught 90% of my fish on the good old plastic worms! Wtf was I thinking?
I never find fishing tackle at garage sales, never. I think a family member grabs it pronto.
I consider fishing gear to be equivalent to horsepower. Never before have I ever heard anybody say "Gee I wish I had less horsepower!"
Twister jigs for smallies have always slayed THEM
Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Nope, I'm a tacle addict !!!I've been finding the last 10 years the most fun is, how many lures can I catch a fish on. The minute I catch a fish, thats it, time to change it
Let me simplify this for yall (Mind you, this is what has worked for me since childhood and is my own opinion).
Abu Garcia Revo series Bastcaster reel 7:1 on a 7ft Med-Heavy Rod. Converted from spinning and haven’t looked back. Better accuracy, longer casts, versatility, and hand feel.
Forget the mono and fluro, it’s just weak plastic line that doesn’t last long. 100% all braid 20-65lb NO silly fluro Leaders. Braid helps pull in the fish while fighting abrasion and get out of snags better.
I can finesse fish using senkos for Bass, throw 1/8oz inline spinners for Trouts, crank it out for Salmon, bottom bounce for Walleye, and fight Muskies ALL with this setup.
I used to believe that finicky fish could see my thick 65lb braid but the Trouts don’t seem to care when I’m using a shiny metal spinner with wires and hooks on it 🤷🏻♂️
I find most of my supplies
Temu
Cool cool cool
Really, the only ive purchased in the past year is items you suggest. 💯
60 years here
Me too!!!! I have more tackle and catch less
A person starting out only needs a decent reel,rod, and good line. Buy cheap baits and learn how to fish. Start with soft plastics.
Give me some
I'll accept all donations from those guilty of buying excess gear, thank you in advance 😂
fishing lures catch me more than fish.
No.
lol
Medium is not an action 🤣
It sade 7" rod with fast action and medium power.
I have way too much tackle!
Same.
Switching to worm baits
All you did with this video was verify that i DO need 20+ rods, so that im not throwin a frog on a med rod with 30lb braid....lol.
But I like having more 110s than fit in my box
Then you gotta try Duo realis 100sp
Let’s all be honest, all u need is a pack of senkos and some hooks…maybe a sinker.
Ignore the fact that I have 47 tackle boxes 😂 24 rods n reels. Beats buying beer.
Agree, but Id pass on the sinkers & throw a nedrig when the waters too deep for a senko.
Don't drag good ol beer into this...
I learned this to be true a ways back….and too late like most folks.
My learning moment was watching the charter boats lure and line inventory….
Let’s face it? They have some of the most basic and repetitive gear in the world…and they slay the fish! That’s why people go on charters! 😂
So I went to the less is more model a ways back, and haven’t looked back!
Greta advice and I found it to all be very insightful and lines up with my experiences!
God bless all!
Tight lines!
But where's the fun in that? Tackle and fishing gear is the biggest thing about fishing, no fun in buying 1 rod n reel set & using the same couple lures. Get's boring pretty fast
Ole buddy of mine in town here uses black or red shad 7" to 10" inpower bait worm most of the year
This is all good advice but ignores the fact that secondary to the hobby/sport of actually fishing, many or most of us, whether we realize it or not, are also engaging in a secondary hobby of simply collecting fishing gear.
Buying fishing gear is like buying tools, we like our tools and tackle. Gotta go to the tackle isle of every sporting goods store and Walmart. Come on, let's go now.
For sure. My other hobby is disc golf and I have about 100 more discs than I actually need.
@@normchristopherson5799you get it
kinda self evident hes talking about fishing, not collecting
@@AcornFox Kinda self-evident he is talking about buying tackle, not fishing.
Fish a season walking the banks and you learn to be incredibly efficient with what you lug around for tackle
Yes, exactly! I have a large tackle box in the truck, and fill a plano box from the cab and walk down.
Yep, if it doesn't fit my small backpack, it doesn't get used lol
I'm a bank only bass fisherman (hopefully not for long) I bring 3-4 tackle boxes with a big soft plastics bag and always have 4-5 rods. A bit overkill but I want to have about everything I need on standby
@@PNW_AnglingAdventures Lol good one bro.
@@canadiangemstones7636 😂
I love wasting money on fishing tackle.
Me too! Lol😂
Before i go into my local tackle shop i support the internal conversation that happens is as follows (i spend so much money in this store, welp about to spend some more)
ditto
Me to😂😂 lol
Great tips. I have had the same braid for many seasons. I just reverse spool onto another reel so the end that was buried in the spool becomes the leader end on the new spool.
I’m not fishing for a living, but I back a 2500 reel with about 100 yards of Walmart mono. That leaves 100+ yards of braid on a spool and always keeps it fresh. I don’t measure that accurately, but that is how I handle it. I bought a 1000 yards of mono for $1.50 this week to back with on clearance.
@@unappropriate1 I typically use about 35 yards of mono and 100 yards of braid. That allows me to spool 3 reels with one 300 yd spool of braid.
Thanks bro gonna do this at the end of winter season
Nothing beats time on the water. I rather have 10 hours fishing with 2 small boxes of tackle than 10 large boxes of tackle and 2 hours of fishing. Skip the huge assortments of tackle, and use that time spent shopping or researching to fish instead and money saved on gas, food, etc so you can get out on the water as much as possible.
Do you also don't need a baitcaster you can do everything with a spinning combo.
Yes - So about 5 years ago, I rolled my kayak as a newb out there and lost a whole lotta tackle I had for YEARS. While it "hurt" to loose it all to the abyss, it was a blessing disguise. Now I have just '5' 3600 trays with all I'll ever need to fish for all the warm-water species I target. I stopped completely looking at stuff on the pegs and the shelves at the retailers. What I have works and I just replenish as needed. Just enough an no more! It works for me!
Tether your gear next time. 😬 Thankfully i haven't rolled yet, been close and didn't tether my gear either! I should take my own advice 😂
@@JesusChrist_IsTruth-LoveForALL Everything has been getting locked down. I had "heard" all about "leash it or lose it" and, well, just wasn't there yet (total newb thing). Ask how may prescription sun glasses my wife lost in the wind... UGH! She's all careful now too! God bless ya!
@@freddysflyz hahahaa!! Honestly I still have yet to tether my stuff when I go, but I really need too, especially now that we're talking about it! I almost flipped over a few times losing my gear! 😬 Have fun out there man! ♥️ from Southern Cali! 🙏
@@JesusChrist_IsTruth-LoveForALL PLEASE don't learn the hard way, stay safe yourself out there, and soak up the fun too! Coming from the other side in North NJ! 😍🐟🐟🐟
@@freddysflyz 💪🙏💪
Up here in Saskatchewan, you are going to be plagued by one lure... Spoons... So. Many. Spoons.
But that's what happens when Pike are the apex predator. 😅
I have 27 rods and reels, but let’s cut the nonsense. Nearly all freshwater fish (outside of the giants like 60 pound flatheads) can be fished with a 6 1/2 to 7 foot medium weight fast action spinning rod spooled with 8 pound mono. A selection of 4 or 5 different worms, some jigs, a few swim baits, some hooks, some weights, a few spinners and spoons, and some slip bobbers and you can fish for bluegills, crappie, bass, walleye, perch, channel cats, trout, pike, and everything else.
You forgot livescope
Yeah but with the setup you’re talking you wouldn’t be landing any big pike or Muskie. Hell big bass in heavy cover would be breaking you off all day. 8 pound mono would be shredded by those Muskie and pike teeth and big bass wrapped in heavy cabbage would snap that line all day.
@@Jonneymc420it's funny you say that. I caught a 4.5 lb trout in fast current, with large rocks all over, on an ultralight rod and reel and 4lb test. I always hear bass fishermen claim they need so much power to pull a bass out of the grass, but I never found bass to fight all that hard for their size. I routinely catch fish that are larger than the rating of the line I use. Hell, the Florida record blacktip shark was caught on 30# braid, he was several hundred pounds.
I've pulled monster redfish, blues and sea trout on 10lb braid and a 15lb leader, pulling many up to a bridge, fighting around barnacled pylons, dragged mg them through grass. Since when are wimpy bass made of steroids and lead?
It sounds like you have too many rods and reels. You could always donate to me if you'd like? :)
My zebco 33 trigger micro and a walmart crappie jig had me within 6 oz of a state record large mouth last year. You don't need expensive or fancy equipment to fish
I've caught trout, panfish, bass, and even mackerel on those chartreuse crappy rigs.
With over 70 bagillion bait colors, contrasts and styles it can be extremely overwhelming for any new angler. I’ve spent countless hours just sifting and weeding through so much it makes my brain hurt just thinking about it. It’s always good to get back to basics and just catch fish. Keep up the great content!
Great tips. A few bottles of dipping dye colors can save money too. For hard baits, I buy many light-colored baits and can color them as needed with a few brushes of a Q-tip. If you want to change the color, it comes off with 90% alcohol.
I have minimal rods and reels, but was a lure junky, even though I use the same dozen or so lures 95% of the time. With new lure prices lately, I've broken that silly habit!
Buy scuba gear for $35 and dive around where people fish. Every log is a goldmine. I have collected so much tackle for free. Wear a belt with a plastic bag and a knife or pliers and just harvest. You will mostly get good tackle too because people don't fish with their trash. There is not only tackle, you can find rods and reels too.
Facts. When i go fishing i just carry my rod, a small backack , 4-6 lures ans a net. Thats it
for 90% of my fishing I use 6lb line, a #2 wide gap gamakatsu hook with a Venom 3in baby crawl in pumpkin green and I catch a lot of largemouth.
For me, i either go out to catch fish(go with my confident baits) or im out to practice something new. It helps me decide easily what tackle to use that day. I usually dont blame what im throwing, i assume im not presenting it properly.
AFTER OVER 60 YEARS OF BASS FISHING, ALL BAITS WORK, SOME ARE JUST BETTER THAN OTHERS, IF YOU YRAVEL A LOT, BRING A WIDE VARIETY OF BAITS, ESPICALLY DIFFRENT TYPES OF SOFT PLASTICS, RODS ,, USE WHAT IS COMFORTABLE FOR YOU
That's the fun of it, collecting lures, etc.
It's also a hobbie !
🇺🇲⚔️🎣🎯🏹✌🏻
I haven't bought a new plug in over two years. I usually just fish with plugs that are painted baitfish colors like bluegill and perch and only two colored Senkos. One of them is pink and I don't remember the name of the other except it is brown with flakes. They are both only three inches.
Useless tackle is something me and the wife fight about, and all fights end up in make up sex.
SOUNDS LIKE A LECTURE FROM SPORTS AFIELD,, BLAH BLAH BLAH
Thanks Nathan. I’m going through my tackle to thin it out and also to send some of this stuff to my son who lives in a different state. Great summary of what I actually need
wow your a lefty . Doing the same all my spools will now be just 15lb 8 strand braid and one rod with 30lb braid for the beach or big live baits
So this basically was a 6 sense promotion video. They are more expensive than most in my opinion.. i have a few 6 sense lures, but thats it. They're all made in China. THEY meaning all fishing companies.
6th Sense is the best. I love the Waterland Sunglasses too!
Should have watched this before I went down the tackle and gear rabbit hole 🤣
but wasting money on useless tackle brings so much joy :(((((
I have 4 rods. 5 Plano box's and that is it. I catch quite a few fish. Great advice. 😊
I guess I was too late on the video. I started pouring plastics/lead in 1994. I started with a few silicone molds, a Lee pot, and supplies to make my own stuff. It's addictive. I now have 389 CNC molds, with 20 being custom and around 50 lead molds. It's rewarding when you make your own stuff. I'd like to possibly downsize one day, but it's hard to sell a mold when you have your name engraved on the molds. My son is 7. He helps me out bagging when I have big orders. Eventually, he'll get everything. He'll be dealing plastic worms by middle school. 🤣🤣
Nathan, no white/pearl/bone color baits (hard or soft plastics)?
You can add those in!
