  • You don't need to own 25 rod/reel combos to have a successful day on the water. These are the 5 fishing rods I feel every fisherman must own to cover 90% of techniques they're faced with.

    Dropping the knowledge. Thanks 👍👍. I personally own several Mfer rods and sixth sense too. I have been waiting for a travel rod to be released and now the new four piece rods are in the mail and I can't wait to use them🔥🔥🔥.

    I love how you tell it how it is and who cares if you're promoting your rods, you should! Not everyone can say they have their own line of fishing rods and it fairly obvious you know what you're doing! Great video, Ben! You bettttt!

    I’m going to Florida via Virginia in two weeks and really wanted to fish while there. It’s iced over in most of my ponds and lakes here now, so I’m jonesing. I JUST scooped your new milleken 4-piece off 6thsense dot com so I can take a rod to Florida on the plane. I’m also a local truck driver so it’ll be in my backpack to scope out new spots during the work week. ✌️

    I have two of the MFer 7”0 rods. I use them for crank baits, bigger tubes, worms, and flat 75x. They also do well with a chatter bait. They really are an all purpose rod. I have the 7”5’ extra heavy in my sights now as my next purchase.

    @kevinfitzpatrick9071 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s super interesting how much opinion can vary on things in fishing. I have always had great luck with Abu Garcia reels, the rods are strait dookie though IMO. I also am a fan of glass rods for crank baits and chatter baits. What will really trip you out is I throw the Whale on a 7ft glass rod and have thrown other 4-5” soft swim baits on it with great success. 4/5 of my 7# fish came on a glass rod/soft swim bait/and belly weighted swim bait hook. I just make sure to stick them extra hard.

    Been watching your videos for almost a year now.. Trusted you on the baits and techniques and they paid off in a big way for me, so I just ordered my first MF rod. I have a decent crank collection now (mostly shallow square bills) and I went with the new 4pc 7'2.
    Do you(if you read these) or anyone have a recommendation for a reel that is in the $100 or less range that is accommodating to this pole and my intended use? I am new at baitcasting and my success was...mixed with the $89 abu Garcia combo i bought last summer. I have no idea what I'm doing trying to calibrate it. She's like my wife, if I don't do everything perfectly, she makes my entire day shitty and I just want to throw her into the lake.

Gonna be doing mostly square bills: crush 50/100, minimag, swanks, etc. I also got a bunch of wake baits and hybrid cranks. I may even throw my mag sb shad sense when the stripers start runnin up the Hudson in a couple months

    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.

    I fish rivers and creeks mostly and The best rod I have ever used is my 5ft 10in med fast cadence CR7 rod and by god its a beast. I feel the opposite about the whole leverage thing when talking about setting the hook or picking up line with the rod. Physics tell us that the shorter rod gives you that faster response but also I skip with alot and I am more about accuracy than distance when it comes to casting because I promise you the 5ft 10in to 6ft rods do a dent job of casting distance as long as you have good line athe key is your reel, which I use the Cadence CS10 and I will put it up against any other spinning reel on the market regardless of price. So guys you don't have to use 7ft or longer rods unless they are technique specific like vertical jigging, just saying.
