Matching a Lure to the Right Rod and Reel - Finesse Bass Fishing

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 2024
- The Question that I get asked the most often is what rod do I need to use for what lure when bass fishing. It is a tough question to answer in one video so I'm going to make several of them so I can dive into detail and attempt to answer the question.

It's amazing what TH-cam has done to the next generation of bass anglers. Im 35 and I'm sure you can relate, we didn't have anything like this when we were young and learning. I had to learn by time on the water, and pick up any tips from watching others or if I was lucky someone showed me a trick or two. Keep up the good work. Guys like you, LFG, tacticalbassin guys have solid knowledge that takes years to acquire
Hope the viewers can really appreciate what your doing
That's really sad to see people don't have a better use of time then to dislike your videos, quality video as always thanks for this!

I've just got back into fishing this summer, and you have been a huge help. I've learned a ton and this video has been exactly the type of instruction I've recently been looking for. Thanks a ton Gene.
Hey fluke I have a good idea so if you you see this please read the whole thing. You teach us a lot of things. Why who you do a quiz video. As a question based on bass fishing like foe example. In the early fall what is a good bait what rod reel and line do you use and how do you retrieve it. The give is a chance to pause the video so we could think about it. Then answer it and do a whole series on it. If you like the idea please use it. Guys if you read this give it a like so fluke could see it
Bart, Auto correct killed you on this one but I think I get what you are saying and I like the idea. Let me put some though into it and see if I can put my little twist to it before I put it into action. Thanks man.
Oh hey thank you for reading it sorry for the autocorrect I didn't even notice till now but the whole idea is to test us on what we learned
Can't emphasize enough how helpful your videos are. Builder lots of confidence in us novice anglers!
Thanks for explaining the terms and not just saying them, I'm new to this and get confused by most the other youtubers
This is a very helpful new series for me. Thanks Gene. It seems so common sense the way you put it, yet when I just checked the 2 spinning rods I use they don't have enough flex and I haven't been paying enough attention to hook thickness which explains the two fish that broke off this past weekend.
Gene, u probably won't see this, but I would love to see you do a video on how you locate baitfish/crawfish etc. and how you "match the hatch". Would love to see something in regards to crawfish specifically as it relates to jig colors/trailer.
Im glad there is still an informative fishing channel out there. Great job Gene!
GREAT. Thanks that is why I follow you. No one else what laying that out clearly.
Great video!! I love learning from you, your a good teacher. How about a video on setting your drag for different rods and reels?
th-cam.com/video/v-tH4PW-YeQ/w-d-xo.html
Good video, I'm a newish subscriber and doing some catching up on your older vids. I appreciate the straight forward approach to the subject, this can be a very expensive hobby.
Amazing video. Thanks man. This is what newer fishers love to see.
I was using a 6'10" ML Omen Black 2 all weekend on the Brazos after the Whitney dam. Paired it with a 500 series reel, and 6lb fluoro (I wanted 8lb - 10lb braid, but couldn't find any before my trip). It was a dream to fish. Threw a 4" Keitech Shad Impact on a 2/0 or 3/0 offset worm hook the whole time (not in a package, so I just picked the smallest one I had). Got me everything from smallies, spots, and largies, to yellow and white bass too. Getting the proper presentation, with the appropriate gear just makes everything so much more fun.
I mean, aside from the total pain that straight fluoro causes (only had two wind knots, so I got lucky).
Very good vid! I bought my first worm and jig spinning rod two weeks ago, this video really hit the nail on the head. Thank you!
I love your vids! I learn so much from them. Can you do a video with bait casters? I'm still learning what's the best set up for each lure. Also, I'm trying to figure out what 3 rods set ups should I always carrier. Tight lines buddy
That's what I'm planing on doing in the next few videos like this.
Hey gene, I know you cover this info in all your videos but I thought it would be useful to new anglers to make a video about hooksets such as when to wait, how long to wait, when to hammer it right away or when to just put some pressure and start reeling. I feel like that's a pretty overlooked aspect of fishing help videos. Love yer vids man, keep it up!
Great video Gene! As someone else mentioned below, I wish we had this kind of instruction when I was a kid. I'm now an old fart with just a lot of bad habits (on fishing). :-)
Seriously, your videos are doing a great deal of service to educate and improve everyone's experience on the water. I have already learned a great deal on how to properly fish for bass, and how to decipher the "secrets" that go with bass fishing, gear, and methods. I thought I knew how to fish for bass, as my Dad taught me, but I know now that there is a LOT I don't know! :-)
I've spent most of my adult life fly fishing here in Nothern California, and have many great experiences in the many great trout rivers we have here. I'm now retired and looking for a new challange, bass fishing local waters. I want to get my skill level "up to snuff" on bass water.. Besides, wading through rivers is hard work even for a young man, which I am not anymore! lol
Great video keep up the good work. I have been fishing as long as I can remember, but I still learn something new almost every video.
Gene!!! I've been waiting for someone to make this video. Thank you so much
Absolutely enjoyed this video. I enjoy these types of videos, being fairly new to bass fishing. So much knowledge here. Thanks.
AWESOME! This is perfect! I've been looking to find videos like this for a long time. Please keep this series going, and keep being amazing! I've been a sub for years and can't wait for more content in the future! Thanks Gene!
Hey brother I've been subscribed for about 3 or 4 years now, I honestly thought I knew a lot for someone being about 18yrs old at the time I subscribed to your channel, but over the past few years I've learned so much from you and I really appreciate it. If you are ever in East Texas on Toledo Bend or Sam Rayburn let me know especially if you are on Rayburn cause I'm not even 5 minutes from it lol
Thank you so much for this video. I was actually about to buy a new rod and was wondering what I need to complete my arsenal. You da man
100% agree with the braid on spinning reels. Although I do keep a couple spooled up with all fluro for some of our super clear high mountain and alpine lakes.
Great detail and information! Can't wait for the baitcaster series of these
Thanks Gene! You helped me decide on my next rod purchase.
Great stuff love all the info, wish we had local dealers near me that carried 13 fishing.
Great video! Thank you Gene. Btw, I just bought a medium medium fast bait caster rod that is a pure blast to fish a shaky head, and tiny crank baits. Only used it one day so far, but great fun!
Thanks glad to see my instincts where right good to see someone putting out this information!
appreciate this vid. tmw is my bday and im heading out on the yak
gene ur the best, man, watch ur videos everyday, I've learned a lot from u
most informative channel for bass fishing !!!!!!
Absolutely loving the break down. What is an occasion you might pull out an ultra light? I do a lot of kayak fishing. I have found it nice when doing small river trips. Would there be any other times you could think use it?
thanks!! love how quickly you replied. keep fishing
that was fantastic Gene. thank you. it taught me a whole lot.
Like your wall in the background! I have the same thing but smaller in my closet.
Thks for your teachings.I am new fisher who liked your combo:1.heavy power rod and reel combo.I mean address to buy it.
Thks a lot
First off,awesome video. Secondly,I'm currently having trouble keeping big fish buttoned up on jerkbaits. I'm using 6ft medium action rod with 12lb floro. I've done the obvious by changing hooks but not upgrading them,meaning I'm using the same size that came with said jerkbait. Should I go to a bigger treble size?Also do you recommend the braid to floro on a jerkbait as well? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the information! I really enjoyed this video. Looking forward to the next one.
Informative. Just getting in to finesse fishing so this was quite helpful.
excellent video series. thanks for all the great info
Do you ever watch your own videos. If not I recommend you to. The back ground on many of them you can see what your demonstrating. Your knowledge is really good and I watch many of your videos. I have learned a great amount. Think about your background and maybe use a piece of color paper so we can see what is going on. Thanks
Love your videos and I recommend your channel to friends and family at least once a week, it seems. You are a favorite of my son's as well. Keep 'em coming, Gene. We love you.
Question...
On a shaky-head or dropshot... What size hook would you say is your default? I've never taken hook size into account a whole lot, assuming the thicker and stronger, the better. (Within reason and according to bait size, of course.) But when it comes to finesse, how small do you take it, hook-wise?
I use two sizes. A #1 and a 1/0 no matter what type of hook it is. It just keeps it simple because they all go in the same spot in my tackle box.
Love your videos Gene!
Thanks Danny
Awesome video!! Can't wait for more on the same topic.
Great content! Looking forward to you covering more presentations!
What about a medium heavy spinning rod and 20lb test braid for fishing finesse jigs with a hook that would be bent out by my medium heavy baitcasting rod? I have some 3/16 ounce finesse jigs but I bent the hook when using my baitcaster. Do you think a medium heavy spinning rod with a size 3000 spinning reel spooled with 20lb braid to a 10 pound fluorocarbon leader would work? Because I already tried using the jig on my medium spinning rod, but I feel like it loads up the rod too much on the cast, and I can't get quite good enough of a hookset, so I would need a slightly stiffer rod. Also I think it would probably work well with heavier shakey heads and very light texas rigs. I am a shore fisherman, and I feel like it would be easier to pitch a small jig around branches with a short but powerful spinning rod rather than a 7' casting rod.
Great video! Please come out with more on this topic
Gene, I accidentally bought a M/L casting rod when I started out. Should I continue to use it as a campfire poker or step up my reel game to pair it with? Which reel would you suggest if so?
Great informative video as always. Thanks fluke!
This is what I'm looking for! Thanks
Thank you so much for doing this video, I found it to be extremely helpful. I have one question. I have a medium fast 7 ft rod, rigged with 8 pound test. Would I be OK to throw a 5 inch Senko with a 1/2 ounce weight on this?
So using a medium light or a medium power for those finesse style lures, but what about the action? How much does that effect things or should I not worry about that? I’ve only ever used fast action rods and haven’t really left that trend because it’s what I’m used to, but would a moderate or different action be better? Thank you for all these videos!
I use a 3000 size reel for my Medium and medium light rod even if I'm using light braid. I'll fill it up half way with mono then put my braid. I prefer a 3000 even with light line because of the bigger spool you can reel the line in much faster and you won't feel restricted when wanting to put on heavier line.
i have also noticed less line problems with a 3000 size reel
Great video. Good explanations. Thanks.
Hey Gene would like your input on the creed gt in both sizes. As in how good they are u said you have been beating up on them, the reel I want is the new shimano nacsi but I seen this reel and was like hmm mm well and crap which one do I get lol. I have had my hands on the shimano. before so I know what is all about, but not the creed. Are they up to par or just blow your mind away. thanks
HOLY SHIT, LOVEE THAT WALL!! LOL RAGE TAIL Products are some of my favorite baits for jig trailers/texas rigging, I just bought myself my 1st couple packs of BIOSPAWN'S VileCraw & a couple packs of the ExoSticks....EXCITED TO TRY THEM BECAUSE OF YOU!
subscriber from Dalton,Ga am planning on buying my first rod and reel this week was wounding what you recommend for around $200
Thanks Gene great video
Thanx for the video. Very informative.👊
quality tips! thanks. keep 'em coming
Got an Inception 6.6:1 today matched on Omen Black 2 7’1 medium fast
loved this vid! keep up the great work.
Hey Fluke, you mentioned hardbaits 1/4oz and below for Spinning Gear which makes sense but my question is if I'm using a 1/4oz moving bait would you use a 5 speed or 6 speed reel? Reason why I ask is because 6 speed spinning reels are not as common compared to casting reels, I'm sure you knew this but it wasn't mentioned, cheers!
Jon Ramsey if it’s 1/4 oz you can send it on a bait caster
Hey fluke just wondering if you've looked into the ultraskiff? Looks pretty neat.
With all the great kayaks out there the ultraskiff really doesn't excite me.
I've been using just a Medium with 6 pound line. I'm having trouble hooking up on some of the fish. i don't know if it's my hook sets, or my set up. I'm fairly new to the finesse style fishing, I'm used to fishing jigs and Texas rigs, so maybe I'm setting the hook to hard. I've been using Owner shakey heads and just straight tail worms.
great videos as always... I was wondering what would I fish a bull shad with ? rod -reel - LINE
it's a 5" bull shad
If it's just a 5" then I'd go with a 7'3" or 7'6"Med Hvy with 20lb fluoro on a 6.6:1 Reel.
How much does the reel really matter on the medium light setup? I have a shimano 4000 spinning reel with 15 lb. braid on a 7 foot med light / fast action spinning rod. Do I need to guy buy a smaller 2000 - 3000 reel? Or can I get away with setting the drag lightly?
You can still catch nice fish with less than desirable gear. I’ve landed 5 pounders on a 5’6” light action Walmart Abu Garcia rod lol. Helluva fight.
So for a medium light rod, would you recommend 6-8lb fluorocarbon? Great video, thanks!
"2,4,6,or 8"
2,4,6,8 who do we appreciate!
Great video.. Next time have a closer camera for the close in shot of the bait. I couldn't really see the smaller hooks or baits as you were showing them. Great video though with awesome information. Thanks
Will do.
HOLA!! Thanks for The video that was a question I had and it's been solved.
Why not use a robo worm rebarb hook instead of an ewg style hook for your heavy cover drop shot?
Do you have a video on the first three rods/reels a newbie should get? I bank fish mostly, but have a few friends that have boats.
I should say I enjoy doing soft plastics the most. I have 3 spinning rods currently, one cheapo walmart special ultralight. One medium ugly stick 5ft. One 6ft6 medium spinning $60 phluegar combo. None of my current rods really do anything great. Where would you suggest I start? Softs are fun and so are cranks/rattles. Hope this helps...Red
man some of these guys are weird.
they think spinning rods are not part of bass fishing and don't know that many many tournaments have been won on them.
good job on trying to explain spinning rods and gear it has tons to cover and a short video won't do it.
looking forward to seeing your following casting break downs of rods and reels
You kept referring to the "action" of the rod but I think you were really referring to the "Power" i.e. "medium-light". Correct?
Gene. Will you be doing a video on a heavy action rod?
Is there a argument towards or for having a medium heavy spinning rod in the Arsenal? Or is it just a waste of $?
Loving that wall! great video!
We need to send him some senkos to add to it
I don't think he will use them lol
Love the 13 fishing gear wish shops in Australia stock all the range
Can I use a big reel for shore lure fishing? (5000,6000,7000) 'cause my rod weight is 10-20lb and the reel's Drag is 8kg(around 15 lb)
Do I have to match rod weight with the reel drag?
Great video! Would be awesome if u made a similar video for baitcasters!
Been wanting this video ✅
Good for matching thanks you👍👍👍👍
Flimsy + limber= flimber. 😀👍 J/k great video very informative.
Thanks Gene!
Great video.
Hi new to angling.. bought a daiwa 6/6" mfs rod n reel..what lures can I use with it and the best fishes I can catch with it?
I have a spinning rod that throw 7/21 gr of lures, it has a good backbone, and another spinning rod that throw 5/15 gr of lures that is more flexeble than the other one, what type of rigs i can and i should use with these rods?
Gene, I don't have all the money in the world to have every type of rod, reel, etc. What do you consider as essential for rods and reels? Like what's your overall most useful setup
Flair has a video like that
They say a medium, a medium heavy and a heavy is good. Personally, to cover the vast majority of applications, I say all you need is a 7' medium heavy casting combo, and a medium spinning combo. That covers almost everything.
As someone just learning myself (a few months in), I'd second the suggestion of having 2 rods, one medium heavy casting setup and one medium spinning setup. I have these and the techniques, while sometimes not ideal, can all be accomplished with these two.
Here watch this video. These are the rods my essential rods.

hey flukemaster just wondering if you knew anything about number 8 tackle company in their blackout rods I put a rod spend a couple months and that it just broke off I was wondering if maybe they are good with refunds and/or getting me a different one just wondering let me know thank you awesome video by the way
Give them a shout on the 13 Fishing website to see what they can do.
I use 20 lb braid on a penn persuit 3000 and a 6 ft medium action Shakespeare Agility spinning rod
Would you say that the thicker the hook, the heavier the action the rod should be?
I noticed allot of people using 30 to 40lb brain. For castability purposes, is it better to go lighter? Or is there 15lb you suggest just for lighter lures for castability?
Only thing I hate about braid on a spinning reel is the grinding vibration the braid makes when it comes through the eyelets? Probably bc I use cheapish rods, I don't know
How do you like the Creed GT so far? I'm definitely excited for its release
I am more impressed with that reel than anything else. It feels like a 175 to 200 dollar reel and I'm not kidding.
exactly what I wanted to hear!
I'm trying to figure out how Flukemaster videos get so many less views compared to other fishing channels with a fairly equal subscriber count. Any ideas?
I know I'm answering this a year after it was posted but I think because other youtube channels just have videos of them fishing, and Gene has many different types of videos, like this one, or how to fish a certain lure, all of his subscribers subscribed to see different things, so they are kind of split up between his videos. The other channels most people watch all of the videos because they are all about what they subscribed for, fishing. Hope this makes sense lol.
Hey Fluke, are those new One3 Creed reels have braid ready spools?
Why dislike? All Gene did was speak information. Also, what test for braid on spinning reels. 10lb or 15?
15 or 20 for me. 10 is too thin in my opinion.
