I actually bought my first baitcaster "ozark trail" $34 to learn how to use one. I still have it and I still use it. I actually used it today! Great way to learn how to use one.
😢 I live in an area in Georgia where there isn’t great fishing. I grew up in Florida fishing EVERY day so. His vids make me feel sad about that. Still like his and yakpacks vids tho.
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup th-cam.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 have to appreciate Norms absolute love of fishing. Always happy no matter what je catches even if it means wrecking his Yeazzies. On a side note, pick a young new angler for this reel, I have more then I need to fish with and they could always use the help.
I’ve had this rod for almost a year and it’s still my fav. All I’ve done is change the line to 12 pound test and I’ve even caught sharks on it and a manta ray on it. It’s a really solid rod and reel and highly recommend getting it
I’m actually impressed with most of the Ozark Trail things I own. I have numerous YETI style cups that are just as good as the YETI but 1/3 the price and also I have a couple coolers and tackle bags that are legit that I’ve had for years now. Can’t speak for all of it, but I’ve had good luck with Ozark products so far 🤞🏻
I’m getting into fishing and own 2 spinning rods and want to get into baitcasters. So I’m learning from you and started watching your videos a few weeks back. Love it!! I’m pumped up!! 😎🎣🙌
Make sure you look up how to setup your drag and brake system before you head out! Using your first baitcaster can be a nightmare if you're not prepared!
I’ve been a fishing all my life but after I started I watching you I’ve had a whole different perspective for fishing, thank you brother. Keep up the good work
I use them for everything. Drift fishing rivers is awesome with baitcasters. I’ve been using any Garcia revoX baitcasters and spinning reels for years. Underrated. Breaking is great on them. Though the X series is 100 bucks and up. Hate to be the one, though abu Garcia makes better reels than lews, and lews makes better rods than abu Garcia. I mix the two. Great combo to mix.
My kids and I love watching your videos. My oldest is 13 and we have never used baitcasters. Think this one would be good enough to get started on and practice. Dont mind spending $300 later on once we learn to use one
I've been trying to get this combo since the beginning of time!!! Every walmart in my surrounding area doesn't have it. I'm so glad you did a review on it. This would be a good beginner baitcaster for me. Thanks for the vid norm and thumbs up as always!!!
I just got my first bait caster last spring, used and needing repair, so I ordered parts and rebuilt it, then learned how to use it. I fell in love with them. I have since added two new ones, and I use them for everything except pan fish and catfish.
Has anyone else noticed norm always does good when he does challenges with crappy gear 😂 would love a new baitcaster I have only had one for a while ❤️ keep up the good work 🎣
Norm, if you are already in Tallahassee you should drive another hour west to the The Mill Pond in Marianna, Fl. It’s a spring fed lake, endless visibility on the clearest days, and it holds some absolute giants.
From KY and watching everyone's fishing vid's. I use jawbone rod / bait caster reel with any size line. Rivers, Lakes, Creeks.. Bank Fishing Adventures.
I’ve always been privy to spinning rods and reels because that’s what I was raised on, but I’ve been wanting to try a bait caster for a while now!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yo i love your vids so much!! You are so entertaining. The only reason i wqtch other TH-camrs like lojo is because you are in the vid….. love you so much keep up the grind!
Years ago I bought a $30 quantum spinning rod and reel combo. I beat the crap out of it and I have had it for 5 years with only damage to the handle (padding is coming off but I super glued it back on) it only broke when I took my friend fishing for his first time and he stepped on it
I bought on to try out to see if it was good and I actually liked it and it was good to take a brake from my nice Lews rod and to show you don’t need the best gear to fish and catch big fish
Lol I started out fishing every day with my friend with a Zebco. We didn't catch anything but we always had fun! I remember seeing him get this and feel super jealous. He doesn't use the reel, but he uses the rod every day!
Yes i feel the exact same way about the person and the pond thing you just automatically assume they are competing and you just get a bad feeling about them😂

Lucky for you cuz the tip of my rod snapped and I don't even know how it snapped
I bought 2 and it back flashes on me what a good tip or a setup
When ever I watch him he makes me want to go fishing
Yep

Go back to the live bait pond
Inv a fan yo fish with you and then switch set ups
Nerfgun fishing
You should do a video on the cheapest spinning rod and reel combo in Academy
Paricord on a reel

I’d agree. A lot of the ozark trails stuff I have has been just as good as name brand stuff. Mostly camping gear though
The Ozark Trail pocket knives are good deal for price too

He is my inspiration what I am trying to say he changed my life from being inside to always wanting to go fishing all the time
That’s awesome get after those fish 💪

He inspires my son and I to want to fish. My wife as well.
I've "reely" started to like Bait-caster reels after getting into bass fishing
oh no😂😂😭

Same Her Bro I’m thinking of picking up a Shimano SLX DC but have no idea what rod to get
I love how Norm always buys baits for his "challenges" but never uses said baits during those challenges 🤣🤣
Norm kinda brings the excitement to fishing that I think is so needed his antousiasim is bar none thanks norm love ur videos keep bringing it.
I start dancing every time he sets the hook🤣 lol. Best TH-camr hands down
These fish be getting whiplash
He just casually walking around a muddy pond with yeezy’s on😂
yo i saw the fish in your profile pic and subscribed right away.
spoiled child throwin away money
@@SirPraiseSun I think he makes it off TH-cam and if he buys it he can do what he wants.
@@SirPraiseSun shoes meant to be worn man
Lol
Norm pulls out a 5 pounder and says dang not a bad fish I pull out a 5 pounder and poop my pants 😂😂

Bait-caster are the best🎣‼️
Cap
Why are they better than spinning reel
Cap
@@LeviVanSluijs My opinion i use mine for ned rigs only
@@LeviVanSluijs I’m a spinning type of guy I like to watch it spin nahh jp
Fun fact the reason its called ozark trail is because Walmart was founded in bentonville Arkansas witch is in the Ozark Mountains
🤯
I know right
👍
I can’t choose which one but I’ll have to go with a spinning reel because it reminds me about childhood 😊
i grew up with spinning reels, but recently i’ve grown onto baitcasters.
I've been trying to get this combo since the beginning of time!!! Every walmart in my surrounding area doesn't have it. I'm so glad you did a review on it. This would be a good beginner baitcaster for me. Thanks for the vid norm and thumbs up as always!!!
I didn’t pay attention to the title just saw norm and clicked
Facts
The one thing I will never understand is wearing yeezys while fishing
Gotta be comfy while ur walking and fishing.
Norm flu the baby bass to the moon with that hook set😅😂😂😂😂
I can tell this is gonna be straight 🔥
hey bud one of your followers from the fish brain here
@@Calfr-334 Aye wassup!
@@BossBassing absolutely nothin😂
@@Calfr-334 lol same 😂 right now I'm procrastinating over a LA test but oh well 😂 who needs to learn Shakespeares anyways 😂😂
@@BossBassing hahahahahaha 😂fishing is more important😂🎣
First cast “Pretty Good”
Continues to pull backlash out for two minutes 😂
🤣🤣🤣
That’s why I don’t like them
You got me so pumped to get back into fishing. NORM!
I just got my first bait caster last spring, used and needing repair, so I ordered parts and rebuilt it, then learned how to use it. I fell in love with them. I have since added two new ones, and I use them for everything except pan fish and catfish.
I love fish for Tuna with my shinmano dc
When Norm catches a fish it sounds like he gets kicked in the balls his voice gets really high and he gets really excited and that’s cool !! ✌🏼🎣🎣
I still can’t get over the fact that norm wears yeezies fishing 😂
Haha I wear either camo or American flags crocs 😂
Ooooooooo! Not to bad of a cast l!!! (as norm spends next two minutes picking out a backlash) classic fishin with norm.
Has anyone else noticed norm always does good when he does challenges with crappy gear 😂 would love a new baitcaster I have only had one for a while ❤️ keep up the good work 🎣
Know it gonna be a banger 🔥 🔥 💯
Bait caster combos for sure 👌
Norm's one of my favorite kind of guys to watch
Prayers for the Yeezys 🙏🏾
Spinning reels are super versatile so I would take a spinning over a bait caster any day.
There's definitely a learning curve to casting a bait caster, I do like my spinning reels though.
Just found your channel have no idea how I haven't but glad I did! Great video
Love that you are having fun with a entry level rod and reel.
In love how when ever norm has something bad happen to him he is always so postitive about everything he is just a great person
You don't even know how long I've been waiting for this banger!🔥
props on always coming up with new content. after awhile im sure it becomes very difficult to think of new stuff.
Baitcaster 100%. Spinning combos have there place but baitcasters just have a place in my heart 😆
I like spinning rod and reel because I never used a bait caster so if i win it would be great
Spinning because it easier for every type of fisherman to use.
Psssshhh** sir neutralize the target.
Cool vedio I want that reel your veideo is super fire!!,
I love your passion and enthusiasm.
anytime norm gets a bite "omg that was a tank"
Bro bait caster all day spinning only if I’m throwing lighter baits
Bait caster's every day. Slap a bull head and catch some cats
watching fishing with norm is my new norm
Norm, if you are already in Tallahassee you should drive another hour west to the The Mill Pond in Marianna, Fl. It’s a spring fed lake, endless visibility on the clearest days, and it holds some absolute giants.
I love how norm was holding that little fish by the jaw and the tail lmao🤣
welcome back to fishing with norm where I destroy my yeezy’s every video
Been a spinning reel guy all my life. Just got switched and hooked to bait casters. Love them!
From KY and watching everyone's fishing vid's. I use jawbone rod / bait caster reel with any size line. Rivers, Lakes, Creeks.. Bank Fishing Adventures.
Norm the amount of money you've spent at Walmart is insane!! (In a good way I think)
🤑
9:20 just keeps getting his line caught on the stick and acts like nothing😂
and it’s also wrapped around the pole
Anyone else want to see norm visit his friend in Hawaii and do a mini series 🔥🔥
New to Norm and bait casters. But i’m here for it !!
Baitcaster ozark trail is what I use so I don’t know if it is good I caught a 6 pound bass on it
Ayoooooo norm just caught my pb at the “big bass pond”. 😭🤣
FishingwithNorm is the best fishing channel on TH-cam
I got my bait caster at Walmart and it a Amu Garcia black max for $60 bucks and I love it and you are my favorite fishing TH-camr of all time
Anybody noticed how many times he says Oh My Gosh ? 😂
Its depends on what I'm fishing for but most of the time, its a bait caster All The Way.
Dude, you're patience with that branch made me impatient 😂
I’ve always been privy to spinning rods and reels because that’s what I was raised on, but I’ve been wanting to try a bait caster for a while now!!! ❤️❤️❤️
First
Day 1 of trying to get comment of the day 🙏🙏
I am so glad to see young people doing something positive.
You make my day when I watch you fish
Yo i love your vids so much!! You are so entertaining. The only reason i wqtch other TH-camrs like lojo is because you are in the vid….. love you so much keep up the grind!

Awesome video norm..you definitely put that pole to work .its good for a 10 year old to start
Love your enthusiasm!
The way you took off the hook in minute 14:05 lol damn bro
I love baitcasters more!!!! Also I subbed and like and notifications best fishing TH-camr (you)
I love a baitcaster I have learned so much about fishin thanks buddy
awesome video love all the new challanges.
Ooooooo good cast! As he peels out 100 yards of line to get rid of the birds nest
In my opinion they both got their own pros but I gotta go with the bait-casters! Love you videos bud keep it up!!
I bought on to try out to see if it was good and I actually liked it and it was good to take a brake from my nice Lews rod and to show you don’t need the best gear to fish and catch big fish
Lol I started out fishing every day with my friend with a Zebco. We didn't catch anything but we always had fun! I remember seeing him get this and feel super jealous. He doesn't use the reel, but he uses the rod every day!
Norm your the best def baitcaster for me. Keep it up bro. See you on your next video
we need that kayak fishing 🔥🔥
Norm be back lashing like my every cast
Baitcasters. For sure. They are more challenging and keep you on your toes.
AWESOME Norm! I liked. I want to try that baitcaster thanks for the review
"Ayo folks". I love how Norm basically admits all his viewers were originally Ayo viewers at the begging of each video.
I saw that same rod and reel combo at Walmart the other day on 7/22/2022 and it felt pretty decent for the same price you got it.
Love that you are sporting your Lews gear while reviewing Ozark Trail. lol Spinners are my reels of choice.
Love both fishing pole.
I got that 60 dollar lews bait casting combo for Christmas and it is really good. It works really well and I love it
Yes i feel the exact same way about the person and the pond thing you just automatically assume they are competing and you just get a bad feeling about them😂
Holy crap the video quality and angles are are amazing
Norm yanked that first fish all the way to next year!! (When I'm watching this video lol 😂)
Definitely going to have to try those baits!!!
Was up love your videos they help me get thru the day I love get bait caster
I just bought one. How funny this just popped up in my feed.
I've had one of those for 10 years and it still works.
