Since you dropped your sponsors you seem more relaxed on the water. Your videos are more realistic with all the ups and downs to fishing. Good stuff. Keep it up.
I like to check out the rods with an OCD mentality at shops before purchasing, looking for things like minor marks or scratches that probably been banged around from shipping. I also bring a Q tip to wipe around the inner guides to check for chips in the inserts. Just a little tip
I had a brand new rod snap in the middle just like that during a moderate cast. I took pictures and sent it to the company and they eventually sent me a new one. Keep on truckin on 🤙🏻
I had one break on a fish last month, granted it was a GT but still it shouldn't have happened using PE4 line on a rod designed and marketed to catch giant european wels catfish (they can grow upwards of 200 lbs..) So thanks for the advice I'm going to send them an e-mail
Thanks to you and Justin, placed my first order for NLBN. Georgia coast fishing, but I haven’t been home (central Florida) in a while. Can’t wait to see how the Gheenoe trailer handles a 1000 mile round trip. (LOL! Two spare wheels/tires, backup hub and bearings)
point your rod to the right [4 o'clock] or to the left [8 o'clock] instead of up when fighting a jack. You can make them change direction and zig zag them in. I caught a jack 34.4 lbs off the wall at Good Sam on 8 lb Ande Tournament in just 20 minutes. His initial run was 300 yards.
yes I'm very curious about MHX blanks. The problem with SW Florida is there are no good tackle stores within a 2 hour drive so you can't see and touch before you buy. Most shops around here cater to the masses of inexperianced people who will fish with whatever, not the discerning angler.
Found your channel from one of the Googans a long time ago (I think Jon B). Seeing you fish Florida inshore and the surf has gotten me out to the coast way more and I'm absolutely loving it. Always love my Largemouth but some of those game fish in salt are absolutely a wicked experience to hook into. Thanks for all you've done with the channel, bud!
I've done lots of freshwater and saltwater. Nothing fights like an open saltwater fish. Albacore, yellow fin, yellowtail, even barracudas. A pelagic fish swims across the oceans. Tuna will circum-navigate the Atlantic or Pacific. No fat, out of shape tunas. No bass or trout will tear off 800 yards of line from a 70 wide reel at full drag.
Can’t say enough good things about the guys at Juno bait and their custom rods. Currently have two and am getting another one, i also live on the other side of the state if that says anything lol
Maybe you should look at the specs on the side of the rod. You’re throwing a jig head that’s what 2-3 ounces? Plus the shad itself which is atleast an ounce itself?
Can’t see anything you did wrong with that rod! Maybe there was a hairline fracture in the blank or something… crazy. Awesome Jack though - they are such beasts! Never gets old
My biggest fish is a 70lb 50 inch jack and they fight exactly how they fought against you. For me at least they are hard fish to reel in. He was a top dog im telling you, I was only 9 years old and my dad and I reeled that in and it was bigger then me!
Love the content brother but I wanted to ask if you tie your leader together with swivel or a specific knot? I fish the Texas Coast and am asking for my jetty set up.
Wow! Now I understand the question/comments in the Twitch stream.... Another one? Don't make no sense at all. At least ya got a replacement (and made use of that stone). Nice work there Lawdawgie, have a good one! Waitin' on da next one. Be Safe
That Magic Spoon is the real deal. Fruity and Frosted are the two best. I have it with OAT-LY Oat milk and it’s a 0 guilt snack. My only beef is how expensive it is but I’ll use your code now!
I think your line to line knot got stuck in a guide on the rod break herd the noise then take the momentum and weight of the top water prolly led to that event.. which tbh is still totally un acceptable 😂I felt your pain on that one being that its a surf rod idk if its technically a casting rod which is why it has bigger guides easier to get tangles on them casting that is prolly why it snapped being a lot longer then our regular 7' -7-6 8' inshore stuff
2 broken rods in 2 days! That calls for a spare rod on every trip my friend! The second one shattered when it broke, which means to me a manufacturing defect.
The rods were most likely damaged previously… could have been anything from a jig hitting the blank during a cast, the rod falling, shipping, etc. The weak spot eventually fails. Oh well, its an excuse to buy new gear :-)
I worked in a tackle shop for years and a jig wacking the blank is usually the culprit. It causes a crack that you don’t see and eventually fails during a heavy cast.
The way you are whipping that rod is what broke it. Use more of a lever cast instead of that hard whipping motion. Looks like you tried to break that rod!
Oh and I do enjoy these videos. But will you PLEASE put some of these fish on a scale for the camera. because i'm not convinced of the weights being quoted by eyeball. It used to be that any unweighed fish wasn't lagit. i'm just sayn
Bummer about the rods. It could have been how you are transporting the rods in your truck. I broke a rod because I put it through the rear sliding window and drove down a gravel road. It broke on the first cast right where it was resting on the window frame.
Put both rods next to eachother and see if they snapped at the exact length from rod butt. Maybe they got stepped on without u knowing. It’s bizarre. Hard to believe it’s a coincidence to have ur rods break back to back
Go get you some slappin’ cereal at magicspoon.com/LAWSON and save $5 off your order!
The break of the second rod was just the beginning of a great day of surf fishing Lawson!!! Got to love it man🤙🏽💯
Not at 10 bucks per box I'm not.
That rod looks like some jackhole pinched it with a pliers. Crushed from the side.
I wish this video was longer beautiful fish man hope to see more soon

i would definitely do that thanks for the tip
yeah, thanks for the Q tip! haha! that was bad
been freshwater fishing my whole life and about to take the plunge into saltwater next year . thanks for the inspiration. cant wait!

Jacks are the shit! They fight like warriors and so fun to catch. Pound for pound prob the hardest fighting saltwater fish out there!😎

Time to go rod shopping! LOL. Always carry a back up in the truck man.
I heard that Trailer Park Boys reference! 'Two Birds Stoned at Once' HA

Keep it up my dawg, I hope to catch a big tarpon this year.
The rod was afraid of big fish and broke before suffer, great video, big hugs from Brazil!!
I have never seen you snap a rod in the last 3 years crazy.biggest Florida fan David Kilroy
i did that 3 times before i figured out the lure weight was 3/4 oz to heavy for the action of the rod. I was trying to cast plugs with a 10 surf rod

I am also interested in them myself!

great video. been one of my favorite tubers for years now
You make it look so easy; I'm a freshwater fisherman and saltwater leaves me dumbfounded. And I'm on the treasure coast 🤣

I wish you spoke more of the details of broken rod? Make, Age, weight class, where you got it etc..
Love the vids. Those are some violent casts and they take a toll on the rods.
your vids are incredible man, can’t believe how far you’ve come, keep it up!
Dude the same thing happened to me a couple months ago in Jupiter, tsunami carbon shield 2
Where was it manufactured?

Ever thought of trying the bull bay custom rods made right down the road in Lakeland??? I love my mine. Just wondering Lawson🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
what a start in the beginning😭
Defective blank or they didn't find the spine correctly on the blank would be my guess. Only rods I've ever broken were because of defective blanks.
OMG NOT ANOTHER ROD
That ending 👌🏼 nicely done
Another one?! Noooo… wait, what?! I honestly was waiting for some new spoon lure and it’s cereal lol nice plot twist!
I think you have the right rod this time buddy 👍👍👍.....
I thought magic spoon was going to be a new metal lure!
Highly recommend TFO rods. They are tanks. Love the vids brother, always awesome.
how much was the junobait rod
what swimbait is that?
Ordered some cereal. This better be good!
Hate it when a rod breaks and you have to buy another..BUT also love it when a rod breaks and you have to buy a new one Lmao
It's that dad strength bro
What’s the surf rod you got?
I love your videos! Stay safe
Can’t see anything you did wrong with that rod! Maybe there was a hairline fracture in the blank or something… crazy. Awesome Jack though - they are such beasts! Never gets old

Something rubbing on them during transport? Are they breaking in the same area?
What type of line you got on your saltist
Can anyone tell me what bait that is he is using? Been looking for new artificial for surf fishing.
NLBN
No Live Bait Needed
About time we see you throw a NLBN
Love the content brother but I wanted to ask if you tie your leader together with swivel or a specific knot? I fish the Texas Coast and am asking for my jetty set up.
What glasses do you use
I’m a proud law dog
Man what reel are you using?
Just a thought, but maybe something about your storage setup that's weakening the rods?
Cool video. Wat kinda rod is that. They use cheap material
Beautiful fish
Wow! Now I understand the question/comments in the Twitch stream.... Another one? Don't make no sense at all. At least ya got a replacement (and made use of that stone). Nice work there Lawdawgie, have a good one! Waitin' on da next one. Be Safe
Get ugly sticks they never break 💪🏽
When it rains it pours. Probably just bad luck. Do you have a dog that could be biting on the rods?
I have broke many rods on year and they say high stinking heavy baits like hard snap over ones head can break your rods
Great video and hope you have a "rod fund" !!
That Magic Spoon is the real deal. Fruity and Frosted are the two best. I have it with OAT-LY Oat milk and it’s a 0 guilt snack. My only beef is how expensive it is but I’ll use your code now!
Did someone step on your rods and crack them? Were they both stored together?
I think your line to line knot got stuck in a guide on the rod break herd the noise then take the momentum and weight of the top water prolly led to that event.. which tbh is still totally un acceptable 😂I felt your pain on that one being that its a surf rod idk if its technically a casting rod which is why it has bigger guides easier to get tangles on them casting that is prolly why it snapped being a lot longer then our regular 7' -7-6 8' inshore stuff

15 pound mono ? or 50 pound ?
Are you on east coast
You swing that shit like If there’s no tomorrow
Just make sure when you cast the rod doesn’t snap in the middle
"slobbered on the toppered" ive heard it all
Still warm out there ?
Maybe the new heavy reel is why
That’s some expensive breakfast cereal lol
Great video 💪🏽
Common lawdog you know Chelsea Told you not to go fishing this morning 😅
These rod snaps are baffling me now, haha. Hope your luck turns around. Watch the new Theo Von special, that'll cheer ya up.
diawa makes a good 9 foot surf rod
My heart broke when I heard that rod snap 😬
Juno Bait is where it’s at
Cie cie paman tongkat pancing baru..😁😎🖒
Where are you fishing in this video?
The way you are whipping that rod is what broke it. Use more of a lever cast instead of that hard whipping motion. Looks like you tried to break that rod!

A broken rod and 2 jacks….what a video
I literally broke my surf rod the same exact way beach fishing the other day
Bummer about the rods. It could have been how you are transporting the rods in your truck. I broke a rod because I put it through the rear sliding window and drove down a gravel road. It broke on the first cast right where it was resting on the window frame.
Pound that beach my dawg!!!!
GET THE NOMAD OFFSHORE SPIN 8’3” !!!!!
can't believe you broke another one!
Goog ol ugly sticks never break and they’re the cheapest I know those graphite’s aren’t cheep. Waste of money imo
I wonder if both those rods got crushed by something at the same time.
Lol not gonna lie I had a laugh when that rod broke, what are the chances 😂
Put both rods next to eachother and see if they snapped at the exact length from rod butt. Maybe they got stepped on without u knowing. It’s bizarre. Hard to believe it’s a coincidence to have ur rods break back to back
Time for you to design a surf rod with Favorite rods?
I think so.
Favorite rods suck.
Bro you have to start praising the fish gods or something cause. Back to back broken rods ouch !! Great video as always brother tight lines.
Smiled ear to ear when I saw your upload in my feed hopefully someday my subs will have the same reaction 😂
Watch the video and look at the rod how it does when you cast
I run a 100 dollar bass pro surf rod and it’s lasted years despite my abuse
WHAT IS UP MAH DAAAWWWGS
I can imagine big baits(grams) and a stiff rod(casting weight)?
