- What can I get from Walmart with 100 bucks to catch smallmouth bass while wading the river?? Of course, it doesn't take much to catch fish but does quality effect the quantity of catches?

I lost more fish using a soft rod, all of it was my father’s fault for he liked a softer rod. When I started making more money as I grew up I finally spent the money buying a rod with a heavier action and I know I started to catch more fish. I told my father this and he said I was crazy and I told him use it for a while and before long he said he was wrong. I really miss my favorite fishing partner!
Someday we will all get the chance to fish together
Old geezer fishing. I am getting old and I just can't brake brush or get too far into water.... plus living on SSI. Gear for 100$ is a good deal........... Semper Fi
I love this challenge . Great idea for those that don't have a lot of money . Fishing can be very cheep , that's why I keep fishing
Used an 1/8 ounce jig with a little white grub for the first time last Saturday as I see you using alot I've have always been a spinner guy love blue fox but omg I caught everything in that river ty
for a "budget" combo... can't go wrong with the blackmax stuff.. and that casts for miles!
I miss living in Tennessee and this type of fishing. The only thing you didn't do for me was to stop in a country store for one of those hand made bologna and cheese mom and pop sandwiches with a coke, a bag of chips and a Goo-Goo Cluster. Good times!
mmm im hungry again
When I lived in South Carolina I used to get fried chicken gizards with hot sauce and mustard 👍
Cleveland, Tennessee? I live up the road in Dayton. Great videos!
My kinfolk live all around you. You have fished in the same water that i have since i was a kid. Best i can tell you live one road east of my Grand parents. Great content. Fish more.
That was fun and glad you didn't bust yourself up too bad. Brother i started getting spinning gear from Wally world over 30 years ago when a combo like you selected was about 10 bucks cheaper and still have the old Shimano Stimula Magnumlite in 6 ft 2 piece. It's caught river smallies, walleye, largemouth bass on Power worms and still a great feeling rod. And nothing wrong with original Stren in 10# and under. Love the challenge. How about a 5 lure challenge but only using lures that viewers and subscribers sent you??? Blessings John
Everyone has done a "$100" budget challenge. It's almost like a right of passage for youtube fishermen. But this was fun and enjoyable. Also. Don't sleep on the Shimano Sedona, it's an awesome reel for $30! Thanks for the entertainment John. God bless.
$100 challenge worked 2-3 years ago, now minimum you have to do the $250 challenge, with inflation! I always wait to find bargains, but I don’t have a TH-cam channel.
Here’s a challenge for ya TH-camr give a stranger 100 to get you all the fishing gear you need and go out and fish with whatever he got for ya
You ever think it was not the equipment?But the person behind the equipment. Just a thought. 😊 Think you do good with anything you fish with.
Could be
I got a challenge for you. I bought another 60-year-old Pfluger Supreme, making about 25 of those old timers I have. Load up one of those on an equally old 5' fiberglass or steel rod and see if you can catch a fish with that. No free spool, no drag except your thumb. Be sure to use a larger plug or it doesn't go too well when used to a nice Shimano Curado or even a cheap Black Max .
Believe it or not the hardest decision for either a beginner or expert angler is walking through the fishing area in any sports store and trying to select the gear and making the best decision for a fishing challenge lol! Fun video John thanks for sharing tight lines take care and God bless!
A soft rod(medium weight/moderate action) with the stretch of mono allows the fish to swallow the whole bait by the time you set the hook. Works great with swimbaits and crankbaits.
challenges videos are fun to watch
Awesome challenge! That drag was screaming. 😂
I use the red devil spoons from Wally World all the time,catch ton of fish on those
I know smallmouth are super aggressive, but seeing this makes me think I need to upsize my baits. Been fishing ultralight for so long that a 3" bait looks huge to me now. I still catch good size fish, but the giants are probably ignoring me.
could be, i started using 6 inch swimbaits and its surprising what will hit that
I almost bought that combo. Went with a Lew's Classic instead. Don't regret it, but it will be interesting to see this combo in action.
What are those 2 ufos doing in the sky @19:52 😂😂 aliens must be studying you John.
That is strange!
The problem with a flimsy rod is you can't set the hook.
Very good point
John, DR Pepper, and still under budget. Nice haul for the money.
I like buying a much fishing equipment from business making there stuff here in the states but I enjoy following you because river fishing is my fun type of fishing. Love your channel John.
Really showed the ebb and flow of fishing there John. One minute smashing bass, the next stumbling in the creek. I know we all can relate to days like this. Sorry to say it made me chuckle a little lmao. Be well!
I gave all my family and friends permission to laugh at my follies even while fishing. The only stipulation is you darn well better check on my wellbeing first....then let's laugh at me together 😅😅😅. You could be next...
I’ve done a lot of overnights in Cleveland TN on my way from Texas to Maryland to visit relatives!
Wish my Walmart looked like that
I have that shimano reel, on a shimano rod that came as a compete from Walmart for dirt cheap. It’s my dedicated bass setup. That, combined with the name brand inline spinners from Walmart have caught me quite a few bass, one was pretty big but I didn’t have a scale. Got a good photo though.
Most of my stuff is Walmart or vintage. My two saltwater setups are cheap 8’ heavier rods from Walmart, paired up with 2 different size rated Temu reels and braided line.
You should try a Temu challenge next and get rod/reel/line/hooks and all from there
I've caught tons of SMB of all sizes in Pepacton reservoir in NY using a $60 Shimano on a $45 Ugly Stick, with 8lb test. Also used a cheapie UL with 4lb test
Almost forgot how horrible the Walmart fishing selection was. Thankfully with the internet you can special order all the custom tackle you need fast and easy. Still with the prices today you bought a fair amount of stuff. Love the channel.
I loved the video, you are a blessing! Have you ever considered demo videos for young lure companies? I recently got some headbanger lures, hadn’t heard of them before, and I’ve been really impressed. I got an ad for them on Facebook. Since ordering those, now I’m getting bombarded with ads from small lure companies
i have done several
Love ur videos Sir the Shimano Combo for $21 u can’t go wrong it’s a quick fire cons it doesn’t have anti reverse but u could step up the line choice and ur pick of lures imo
that's what's fun about the set amount, you have to choose what you value and each day could be different
True I even use the Shimano 2500HG in saltwater catching jacks and snappers even Spanish Mack’s and it has never let me down I even left it on the roof of my car and dropped it on the main street went and picked it back up a little scratched slightly bend handle that I straightened and it’s still smooth as butter and works like a dream and probably has one of the best and smoothest drag systems🔋🔥
I’ve put plenty of largemouth and peacock bass on it I’m in south Florida
Something to think about when shopping at Walmart or any big box store. While you may think that their stuff is "cheap crap" and not very good, a lot of the big box merchandise, whatever is their "store" brand...is probably manufactured in the exact same factory as the name brand stuff. I have worked in several plastic injection molding factories throughout my life. One of them in particular, I won't use names (don't want to get in trouble with YT censors) made their own name brand tackle boxes, AND they also made the Walmart Ozark Trail tackleboxes on the very same machines. All they do is switch out the name plate, the mold is the same. Walmart can ask the inspectors to be a little less demanding, allowing a few more blemishes or bubbles, but other than that, there is very little difference. I would imagine that holds true for pretty much all of the Ozark Trail merch...lures, plastics, hooks etc. Not to mention other store brand merch of any kind.
This particular company claims that they use a proprietary plastic impregnated with certain chemicals which prevent rusty hooks...but I seriously doubt these kinds of claims. And even if it does...is it really worth paying three times as much for a plastic tackle box? *shrugs*
Obviously Walmart and others will tend to carry the less expensive and less quality "name brand" merch such as rods and reels (the cheaper low end Lews and Abu Garcia stuff) so beware about buying THAT type of stuff cheap. Companies like Lews, Abu Garcia, etc. make this cheaper stuff specifically for the low-end market. But as for simple stuff like tackle boxes, lures, etc with a store brand name...rest assured that it is all pretty much the same stuff. If it is manufactured with a store brand name, it is probably made in the exact same factory.
Thanks John for sharing. Stay Blessed
Dude if you've never tried Joe's flies, inline spinner.... they will tear them up from sunfish to rock bass to even smallmouth. Caught a really nice smallmouth creek fishing the other day. I've used them for years here in East TN.
Trout will also tear them up. Best ones I've found is the firetiger blade one. And the wooly booger I think it's called
Walmart has a Shimano Sienna medium combo for 50-something bucks. The rod is medium power, fast taper, it's a good setup even despite the lesser cost. Little bit heavy, not bad, but it has it's weight where it needs it most, my wallet...
the first reel you looked at for 29 is not bad i have 2 of them and have had them for 2 years now
oh nice
@@CreekFishingAdventures some times those cheap ones will do better then you think lol
Your of the chain man love your stuff..when you said a shopping spree for less than 100 I about died laughing…🦅🇺🇸👍
You can absolutely find deals at Wally World. It’s hit or miss. Really enjoy your content. Your rivers are beautiful in TN!
Where I live in northern California, in Walmart to target, all these stuff are locked. From almost everything you need from over the counter are all locked inside. You gotta press the button for assistance. People steal everyday
Those first couple of smallmouth bass were feisty!!! The Lews Lite Speed pre spooled reel is super solid that you talked about when shopping!! It's about the only reel I use because it's soooooooo reliable!!! Epic video buddy 👌 😎
Great video I have been looking at that combo I really enjoyed seeing doing this type of video again
Comment for the algorithm these videos rock!
Cleveland TN Walmart. Can't believe I didn't fish more when I was there.
Beautiful scenery, clear water, nice fish, a sunny day, what's not to like! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!
I got my first smallie in a while the other day on the Beaver River at the Townsend hydroelectric dam off of a shiner. I was using my 13 Fishing 6'6" medium spinning combo with 15 lb multicolor braid.
Very cool!
Height and strength of combo? And what size reel
Hell yeah, I have been waiting for this since you posted about it on IG.
Great video John, you caught a good amount of fish🐟🎣🐟🎣
How do I get in contact with you I have some questions about a older video lol
Awesome challenge
There and box of tinder bites for and doller I now you like them.
Get the Garcia.thats an good one and you still can get an go pole for 35 doller at Walmart .
Slow the fluke down it’s supposed to look like a dying minow
Had to chuckle at 2:43 when you looked at that orange Lews reel and rod, as thats the exact reel I bought three of to replace the #500 Sienna reels I had when I was down there last year.. Even got them at the same Walmart! That set up with 30 pound braid is my perfect combo for Pickeral up here in the Pocono Mts. of PA ! Even got a 5+ pound Largemouth on that set up! Got the idea from your prior videos on some of the Lews reels you were using... Thanks!
oh thats funny, maybe i should of got that one
some really beautiful water.
lews american hero i use and they were 25 bucks
Tge trail and plain line is better then that line Thas still good line.
Love these videos!
Ozark mary that real is very good right next to it.
Awesome video man 🔥🔥🔥🎣🎣🎣
Hello from Delano just recently started watching your channel.
Welcome neighbor
Congratulations on 160k subs
my favorite youtuber
Enjoy these type videos. Great day!
Got way more lures than I thought you would
Noticed your shirt says Shenandoah, are you from VA by chance?
no it is the name of my church in TN
Someone please tell me where this location is
Becareful using Walmart self-checkout had a friend that got arrested for shoplifting becase Walmart's machine malfunctioned. They were a travel nurse; after attorney fees and court cost, missed work and, she was out of town at the time, with round trip airfare her cost was over $12,000. WalMart did not even apologize after they said their equipment malfunctioned. The attorney said it would cost her more to try to get her money from Walmart than it had already cost and take 3 to 4 years in court. This happened in March this year. He said he had repersented 59 people since the first of the year and only one of them were guilty, the rest was Walmart equipment malfunctions. If you use self-checkout you are taking a chance of getting falsely accused of shoplifting and getting arrested and have a criminal record. As a nurse this would have ruined her career as a nurse with a criminal record for stealing. BEWARE OF WALMART'S SELF-CHECKOUTS.
any reel prespooled is rubbish 😂
1:05 me who just bought that reel 👀
I caught big bass on roster tails.
43 doller cheap 19daller good teal
Love the video brother!
The video is really good but the theme is just a bit old for viewers who follow multiple fishing channels. For the new to the sport fisherman I might have put more emphasis on good line and terminal tackle based on target species. If that idea appeals to you a budget of $50 would be plenty. Just a thought .. loved the action.
Where is this ?
Good real
Muito jóia 😊
I've watched a number of other YT boatless fishing videos and they've also commented on how tough the fishing has been. Wonder if some of it is a byproduct of overfishing due to COVID and/or increased use of finder aides like drones & FFS? Just a theory, great video BTW Josh. Keep up the good work.
Nothing to do with Covid or FFS. It’s spawning season for everything plus water temps are abnormally high, that’s why fishing has sucked lately.
Noooooooooo not you too!!!!!!!
It ain’t the first of these. Channels have to do something different to grow. The TH-cam algorithm isn’t just one topic.
No yum dingers???
needed to try something else
great video and great fishing!! look like you had a great time!! great idea and might go to Walmart and look for fishing stuff too someday soon.
have a good day and week. congratulations 160k subscribers!
Thanks for watching
@@CreekFishingAdventures your welcome! I shared this video and tagged you on my community page
Oh John pull on my spinner bait
3rd time asking if you will use a telescopic fishing rod they are good please
i might but no promises
You should throw the fluke more in the rivers and creeks you fish especially this time of year
ive been thinking the exacy thing
Have u ever tried using the zebco dock demon spinning rod(u have to put a better spinning reel on it)
i had one years ago
To me a 100$ challenge is still expensive, but other than that it was a good video, your taste in equipment is higher up now that you have a few 500$ rod & reels & I have no problem with that, to each own, the whopper plopper style bait to me is a waste of money never caught a fish using it!👍🎣
A TH-cam way to say it lol. Good video. Say, did you ever fish Bull Run Creek any up here near Halls or Powell?
Not yet! maybe ill get to it this summer
@@CreekFishingAdventures that’d be awesome!
❤
You're crazy not picking the 21 dollar Lews, line included. That novice in you is sneaking back up.
thanks for your opinion
you need to pick up some senko worms and fish them wacky
What rod power and action would you suggest for bass fishing?
the one he was using in this video as he was bass fishing and catcing bass lol.
medium fast is good all around
Atta boy, pretty scenery and fish. Here's a couple of things you may wanna try. Occasionally make shorter casts on your first cast. This is for those fish you can't see otherwise a long cast which produces a fish will spook the fish closer to you. In eddy water cast a floating top water bait and when it lands let it sit for a few seconds. This allows the fish to locate what just landed in the water...If I make a cast and it hits a limb, I call it a bumblebee cast. Like a bee or insect flys into the bush and hits the water. Let it sit then a little twitch and boom 💥. Good luck and have a Blessed Day!
What sad is that I have lived in my area, right up the hill from the Beaver River that has muskie, tiger muskie, pike, huge walleye, stripers, largemouth, smallmouth, and other big game fish and I have never caught a single muskie or (well, land) a single large walleye. A few weeks ago I caught a 36" walleye and it was right at my feet when it spit the hook. I was SO mad! I've caught a big striper down there before. Tbh I don't go fishing enough to have a chance with the muskie and I know nothing about them or how to catch them. I did get a long, but skinny pike a few months ago.
Cheap luers are better .
80 doller crap
Rods are junk lures in a pinch 🤏 reels in a pinch. Stick with bass pro shops, Cabelas. The one and only time bought a rod from wally world broke after one use one small bass Line least with ours good luck
You should do a 100$ walmart budget challenge every single month.
and after you "test" the gear for a day, donate it to a lucky random viewer commenter.
Im pretty sure you would get double the comments and views.
If you ever find it hard to find new things to talk about during your video, you can simply just explain and review the gear.
even if it sounds the same every time, its for a good cause. a challenge, a review, a giveaway.
give alittle something back. god always used to say.
Seems you might be making enough money to blow on gear ya dont need : )
