    My Megabass P5 Destroyer Tequila Baccarac has become one of my most used, most versatile rods when kayak fishing. Mag draft, big Spinnerbait, small arigs, deep cranks, big jigs and phenomenal frog rod in a short 7ft rod.... it's truly amazing. My most versatile MH rod is my St Croix Legend Xtreme 7ft. Incredibly sensitive and a do everything, awesome bottom bait rod compact enough not to be cumbersome in a kayak.... love it!!! 👍

    I’m a pretty big snob when it comes to having dialed in technique specific gear. But the truth is that versatility is often overlooked, yet it is super important if you’re a guy that jumps in to your buddies boats and fishes with them all of the time.
    I don’t want to be bringing my entire fleet of 10 rods with me every time I fish with a friend. Much nicer just bringing 2-3 rods that I can cover pretty much everything with. So I appreciate this video!

    Megabass Destroyer P5 Tequilla Baccarac = swimbaits 1 to 4oz. and big top-water.
    Madbull = medium depth crankbaits, all squarebill's, chatterbaits 3/8 - 1/2oz.
    Dark Sleeper = dark sleeper 1/4 to 3/8oz., swimjigs "same as dark sleepers, whopper plopper.
    Shamrock = jerkbait's, swimbaits 3/8 - 1/2oz.
    Landsat = jerkbait's 1/8 - 3/8oz., Dropshot / Ned Rig 1/8 - 1/4oz.
    As a general rule of thumb will fish baits 1/4oz. less than Megabass rates a rod. Great video as always!

    As a kayak guy, there are like 2 rods that never leave my holders. Victory 73MH for basically anything moving bait with single hooks (swim jigs, spinnerbaits, flashy swimmers, buzzbaits, decent at chatterbaits), and then my 844MBR for bottom contact but also a zillion other things cause that tip is just so versatile. The perfect pitch would be a close second to the MBR for similar stuff

    Great video! Detailed & informative + some education for new guys. You mentioned along the way, "We could do this same thing for big swim baits because it's such a broad category. I'd love to see that with an emphasis on glide baits.
    I'm a kayak guy & definitely have some rods that stay with me every trip: IMX Pro 845 CBR for all my cranking; GLX 843MBR for jigs & Texas rigs (as well as top water) Tequila Baccarac with a glide bait tied on. Always?? Yes. I take time almost every trip to throw a glide bait. 4 of my 5 biggest bass over 5 pounds are on the glide.
    Other rods I'll add or change out if I'm using chatter bait, wake bait, frog, spinner, etc. Just depending on season & technique.

    I use mid-level gear- can't afford the high-end stuff. That said- the Powell infernos I picked up have turned out to be some really versatile, quality rods imo. I have three- the medium light fast action spinning rod, the medium mod/fast bait caster, and a medium heavy mod/fast. Also picked up one of their Deisel rods- the heavy fast action 7'2". It's rated as fast but it has a more moderate bend to it- I use it for glides, jigs, heavy Texas rigs, heavy swim jigs, larger swim baits, etc.- very versatile rod.

Really high end (or bouchie as you would say) and very versatile. Megabass is king delivering technique specific rods and Evegreen is the king delivering versatility. By the way….Geoffrey should take a look at the Evergreen Orion The Throne. A swimbait rod rated to 10 oz with a one of a kind power/weight ratio. A must have for a swimbait geek!

For some reason that rods throws those perfectly, of course I missed fish on hook sets like anyone does here & there. But every fish I've got good hookset on I've landed. They definitely under rated that rod! It doesn't throw anything under 3/4 oz well! I would like to know which companies actually rate thier rods consistently?

    If i'm going to a new spot to explore "bank fisherman" i'll bring my 6'6" medium, fast action casting and spinning combos. But if it's a spot I go to regularly i'll bring a 7-7'3" MH fast or mod-fast casting combo and a 7-7'3" medium, fast action spinning combo. Or if the jerk bait bite is on i'll take a 6'10" medium, mod-fast casting combo. Good for the jerk bait and the mod-fast action goes really good with lipless or square bills too. I'll even throw my baby bull shads on that combo.

    Love the video idea. Looking to get into rods over the $250 range. Where I live I do not have access to see these rods in person, how would you recommend someone to buy a rod they can not get their hands on first to feel it? Take a shot in the dark or is there return policies you offer if the rod isn't what someone was actually looking for.

    Drinking game before the video starts do a shot everytime he says Windbuster!!!! ..... Now that im hammered...... I travel a ton to fish. Sometimes from my BMW adventure bike. The T Bac and Windbuster P5's have been such a HUGE help. My newest rod the Triza Thunderbird has lived on my bike, amazing reaction, all my top water stuff, smaller jigs. .... looking for another travel rod to handle the jig n worm stuff and a multi piece spinning set up ...... Will always be hard NOT fishing with the wind buster.

    QUESTION: can anyone recommend a rod for launching a roughly 1-5oz hard treble swimbaits? im debating between the SLX 7'8 heavy fast 2-8oz (favorite looking), the st. croix mojo bass 7'10 heavy fast 1-4oz, and the savage squad 8' heavy moderate fast 1-4 oz (though i think its kinda ugly). any info or recommendations would be a huge help.

    So what is your opinion, is the Mega Bass destroyer windbuster better than the Edge Bws hsr 7600-1? It is a mag-L extra fast 6-12 lb 1/4 to 1/2 ounce rod by Garry Loomis.

  • @littlegoobie
    @littlegoobie 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes. that's the proper wording. how many you need to fish. ...not how many you need to own.
    I usually get by with 2 or 3 rod types, anywhere i go.. The difference is usually length or power. If there are very small fish in that area or light lure/baits will be used, a small spinning rod will be there.

    In the real world we can't really carry 10-30 rods with us and this is especially true for bank anglers. Carrying 2-3 rods that can do a little of everything is far more efficient. Carrying a 7ft Medium Heavy casting rod and a 6'6"-7' Medium spinning rod will allow you to fish most fishing techniques. Also, if you don't mind carrying an extra/3rd rod then a heavy power rod will allow you to fish most techniques too like frogs and punching.

    • @GaryAnderson87
      @GaryAnderson87 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Those are the exact 3 rods I own as a bank angler. Instead of buying multiple cheap, technique specific rods, I bought 3 versatile high end combos and couldn't be happier.

    • @Mr.Higgs.
      @Mr.Higgs. 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I applaud you for only taking 2 or 3 rods. I carry 6 or 7 with me around the bank, I usually go out for more than 4 hours at a time so I have enough rods to not worrying about cutting baits if not getting bites on only 2 or 3 combos.

    • @thecreekcrawler

    Funny you mention the NRX+ 873, I’m between that and the 853. Looking for something to pair with a MH reaction rod, a heavy versatile rod, and a finesse spinning rod. Figured the 853 was more different to the 74HF Legend X that I already had that it would fill that gap better. Would you recommend me the 853 or 873 to pair with those on a kayak?

    I grew up in Montauk, Long Island, NY -- The undisputed "Fishing Capital of the World." Also, spent much time in the Florida Keys and South Florida. When we talk about fishing rods for different purposes, the goals and Lines are clear. We don't obsess about 1/4 oz jigs and different lures. Here is how it goes for real fishermen on the East Coast, USA. (1) light inshore bottom fishing rod porgies, seabass, fluke & flounder basically any 20 lbs. setup will do, but it has got to be a star drag Penn w/ 7' rod 30 lbs. class; (2) inshore wire line trolling stripers and blues Penn Senator 113H, heavy 7' rod w/ carbide guides; (3) surfcasting Van Staal on custom locally built Johnny Stick 10' - 13'; (4) codfish stick and Penn star drag reel; (5) offshore stand-up Tuna stick 5'6" with Penn 50 International. Those 5 rigs will catch everything that swims in the Atlantic Ocean. How anyone could bother to have 5-rods for catching largemouth bass, each rod specifically tuned to some awful looking swim baits is beyond belief.
