The rod you described is good for lures but a slower action is better for live bait in my opinion. I also like a slower action for trolling. Not a spaghetti rod but not super fast either. I'm using a 7' Ugly Stik Carbon Inshore medium action fast tip rod with a 3000 size reel and 10 lb braid for almost everything in the saltwater with artificials and Ugly Stik GX2'S or Big Waters for bait. They're affordable and durable, and the graphite one is sensitive and has the right action for setting hooks with weedless soft plastic rigs and jigs.
I got in to Toadfish rods from watching your channel. I love the action on them-I really like their medium light rod for how it throws and works lighter lures.
Great information. I also love how you showed that a micro rod and reel can catch bigger fish too. It's easy these days to overkill your gear and miss out on some great fun.
I use a 7' fast rod and a 4000 reel guess I got lucky with the setup when I got them. Your explanation of the rod makes perfect sense for casting and hookset performance. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
You explained that so perfectly, there is nothing to disagree with. That was one of the best videos you have made that was about fishing without catching a fish. You went over what you target and,what rod and reel you target Fish with. Awesome video. I would rather have a more expensive rod and cheap real. I own 5 toadfish rods and I love Them. I also own a lot of pen fierce 3 reels great reels and rods for a great price! Thank you for the great video!
I mostly surf fish and use Offshore Angler Ocean Master graphite and Ninja Dagger Surf Rods. I have a few ugly sticks and penn Spinfisher rods and a few others . I only use vintage reels including Mitchell, Penn, and Daiwa plus many others as I have around 120 reels now. I like this new channel and what you’re doing!
I live on the Chesapeake Bay and always fishing inshore. Most of my rods are between 7’ & 7’6 Medium Heavy fast action with 3000-4000 size reels. 20-30lb braid always. I’ve caught 36” striped bass, 30lb blue cat fish and 20-40lb cow nose rays.
I can tell by Brandt's setups that he knows this already. After years of fishing I have found that a great rod is more important than a great reel. Line diameter is very very important, I def agree! 🤙🤙 Thankn you for this channel and all the tips and tricks
I mean not to hate but he is using a toadfish , I’ve used these rods a few times and they are not very good rods. Great company though, they make amazing products and it’s important for him to have a great sponsor to grow his brand
I use a 7'4" savage gear spot tail rod and a Quantum Reliance 4000 reel. It's about the same money as what Brant is running and I am pleased. That being said I catch trophy fresh water trout on Kastking cheap-o stuff. Don't worry about the gear so much and get out there cast what ya got. You ain't catching them from the couch. Tight lines and red wines y'all.
Great video, Brant. Just one more queation. What aboit the leader knot?? Albright, Double Uni, Crazy Alberto??? Which one do you use regularly??? Tha ks a bunch for the educational video.
Can you do a video explaining your favorite types of baits in different applications such as dock fishing inshore, casting from the surf, or offshore for mackerel and stuff
i like the penn fierce , got a 4000,5000 and a 6000 my 4000 is on a “OG” ugly stik intercoastal kinda like a wet noodle compared to the new intercoastal , but it works for my sheepshead and mangrove snapper fishing
20# braid and an appropriate leader can catch just about anything. Good points made. As far as 'spensive reels go, I have a stradic that is so smooth that I can't resist using it. Does it catch more fish? Nope.
Do you have any video showing how to tie these leaders for us beginners? Plan on fishing the Mississippi Gulf Coast the beginning of July... trying to be prepared LOL any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated
My question for you is on plastic tackle boxes do you prefer regular boxes or the ones that have a gasket seal on them reason I’m asking is I’m a vivid fisherman from northern states but planning on moving to Florida in the next year was curious about the salt that’s in the air there on rusty hooks
Great info, thanks! Quick question; you said you use the 7ft rod, but Toad fish doesnt have one exactly 7ft. Are you talking about the 7'2" or the 6'8"? Thanks again!
Either one really. The difference in those is minimal. Shorter rods tend to be more accurate… longer rods more casting distance. Personally I don’t like a 7’ rod. It’s too “middle of the road” for me. I use a baitcaster in the 6.5 feet range and a spinning reel in the 7.5+ feet range. I tend to prefer having 2 or 3 tools that each do one thing very well as opposed to just one that does everything but nothing well
Real quick question Brant, I'm going fishing with my friend tomorrow for sheeps head, what size hoot do you think I should use when fishing for sheeps head?
I have the Avid Inshore Med fast tip -7'6". Most people say 7ft is optimal. So what's the drawback of 6 inches more when you can cast further? Less accurate? More fatigue? Any comments are invited. Would you say it's a spaghetti rod? Thanks.
Shorter rods are more accurate…longer rods cast further. I myself prefer a 6’-6” to 7’ Baitcasting rig of medium to medium heavy power and mod fast to fast tip and a 7’+ spinning rig of the same power and speed range. For a live bait rod and chucking lighter lures I like a slower tip speed
They no longer sponsor him is what he said. Very unfortunate, I was looking to buy a lew's rod but changed my mind. He talks more about the toadfish rods all the time than he did the Lew's. IMO
@@vahallarising0114 I've seen both rods in action through the many videos and I bought a toadfish. I'm pretty sure the spaghetti rod in the video was the Lew's rod... I was just wondering if there was a reason why the Lew's CI300 didn't make the cut
@@myDurFace I am curious as well. I do know someone that owns one and he said that he hasn't had any problems with it. Yes the spaghetti rod did look like the Lew's.
@@vahallarising0114 Many videos and followers have recognized him for his Lew's rod and reel... If it comes down to sponsorship then say so. Again I bought a toadfish rod and its incredible. Is the Lew's custom reel that we have seen in your videos been casted aside because of new sponsorship?
Brother, don't use the word cheap, inexpensive is better, from a person been in retail business for 26 years, love you and bama videos, from a roll tide fan
I dont get why everyone is going to braid. The salt in the water will lodge between the strands in the braid and litterally sandpaper away the braid and not to mention its a horrible line for when a fish wraps around structure. I use 20lb monofilament for all my saltwater applications for peace of mind. The only problem with that is i have to use a big bulky reel. Id rather use a big bulky reel than to get cut off by a big fish. Im willing to tolerate the extra bulk. The upside is peace of mind. Also if i catch a snook and he goes into head shake mode that 20 pound line will hold up better than braid any day.

Thanks for being you! I am a beginner loving fishing, learning so much between you and my husband. Keep it up!
Thanks for the HONEST advice on your choice of spinning reels. It is even more reassuring having watched you catch so many great fish using that reel.
Thank you. Your reels put in work catching fish😉.
Brant thank you for this video. It helped me better understand how to select rod.
Simple,,but powerful advise,,just what we need at times,,,you catch fish bam,,nice setup brant..thanks for your pro tips,,,love your channel man

Lets get more of that master baitcaster content up in here!!!
At 4:48, you say "with my discount and promo code", so, where's it at? I don't see it in the description.
Nice vid. Good info
Just got done fishing for catfish and large mouth bass. Did pretty good. Where can I show photos with yall?
I use a Diawa 7ft Med lite on a 2500 Stradic It cast a mile
With you on the spinning gear for saltwater
Couldn’t agree more, if it gets the job done who cares
I love tht rob . i just dnt hav money for it ..lol
How often do you service your reel? I’d love to see how to do that. I’ve never figured out how.
What do you think about ugly sticks I like them cause there strong and have a good flex when you get a bite or a fish on the line
20# braid and an appropriate leader can catch just about anything. Good points made.
As far as 'spensive reels go, I have a stradic that is so smooth that I can't resist using it. Does it catch more fish? Nope.
I agree that Stradic is smooth.

I have both kinds. Rinsing your equipment helps more than anything. I dont use my sealed box cause it holds moisture.
Come fish Arizona!!!!

We use van staal reels here in the surf for plugs for 20-60 pound strippers in ny the is sealed so no water or sand gets in
I 100% agree that there are times when a van stall or something similar is necessary.
20 to 60 lbs strippers? Here in the midwest we call them crack heads! Im going to NY!! Im just teasing! I would love to be able to back to Montauk!
@@stevel1733 not just there all over here you might want to try cape cod
Well said! Don’t need 50 saragosas
What is your discount code for the rod?
If it's working DON'T change anything! Right on.
Real quick question Brant, I'm going fishing with my friend tomorrow for sheeps head, what size hoot do you think I should use when fishing for sheeps head?
Eagle claw 084 #4
What kind of gear does Bama Beach Bum use?
Brant have you ever used a Diawa BG?
Good tips! Do you use a leader when fishing artificials? Or tie straight to the braid? Thanks!
I use a fluoro leader yes.
@@anglerupofficial274 is it one piece or two piece I’m about to buy thanks
@@chrisnsara1 I prefer a 1 piece. I own a pickup, easy for me to transport a 1 piece.
Really quick I’m at checkout but is yours a one or two piece please???
Is there a link to buy this rod?
How about for off-shore set up?
Is it a medium or medium heavy?
I want to order this setup
Do you use leader

What’s the code for Toad fish?
Can I have the discount and promo code please I will go buy rite now. I run the fierce on my kencor love it.
How do you think your rod would do compared to a 7 foot Uglystik medium action?
I’d have to pick one up and see.
What type of fishing line is best for saltwater ? And color ?
There is too many answers to that question. Depends on too many factors.
It’s is the best
Please show the specifications of your rod please
Waow keren👍👍
What the best size hook for surf fishin
If youre pompano or whiting fishing just a small circle hook like a #1

A fish don’t care what your rod and reel is but they do care if you can work your lure properly or not
