What's funny is I didn't know that either. But I was just thinking about his forearm tattoo placement and I thought that's an army thing because that's exactly where my brother got his when he was in.
American hero was my first baitcaster I bought, I loved it, I bought it at Dicks sporting goods for $79.99, I used it for a couple of weeks till I did a one handed cast and it flew out of my hand and landed in the water. I was on a bridge so I couldn’t get it back. Thanks for your service and keep up with the great videos bud....
I went to Bass Pro Shop this morning, I couldn’t find any of the combos you had mentioned, the cheapest one I saw was $170, sorry, that’s not going to happen, especially right now plus if I can’t figure out how to use it, it would be quite a waste. Please, keep the videos coming. Not only entertaining but informative as well.
Fellow vet from Ohio here brother. Just picked up one of these combos on my visit to Bradenton florida, landed a 5lb largemouth on it to top the evenin off. Caught well over 30lbson this combo and the only complaint I have, is the thumb clicker disengaging mid cast. Didn’t happen a lot but sure was frustrating untangling a whole spool of 50lb braid.
Been watching your videos for a few weeks now, and until this video I had no clue that you are military personnel. Thank you so much for your service , and the sacrifices you’ve made. Definitely makes the slow work days go by faster watching your content. Fire man! 🔥
In terms of bait casters I prefer Abu’s reels over lews, but I used my buddies American hero spinning combo before and it felt wonderful. Made me go out and by a Lews XP speed spin a few days later.
First, thank you for your service! I just picked up bass fishing a few years ago and I'm loving it. Great way to disconnect from all the stress from work.
I love your videos you've taught me how to catch the big ones! 4.9 pounder this summer. You are awesome. I am 13 years old and I need to give my dad's bait caster back too him😂 I need my own!!!! American Hero 6"10 Mediam Heavy
My advice is too turn the dial on the side of the reel at 10 or whatever the highest tightness is then use the knob next too the handles to make your bait lower slowly without it stopping then after a month or two after your comfortable then mess with the dial too he likes.
Thanks for your service sir! When my brother wanted to get into fishing the first rod I went for was the black and blue American hero spinning setup. To this day he still uses this rod.
Awesome video, I live really close to a bass pro and you’re gonna make me go broke with all your videos and suggestions. Good luck to everyone entering to win the combo!
I have a Custom XP and that is my absolute go to, 17lb flouro and I do everything with it. Lews is the absolute best for high dollar and budget fishing.
I love my American Hero so much (the 7' black and blue model) that I bought another reel off Facebook Marketplace, then my AH rod tip got smashed in the SUV door jam, so now both my AH reels are on Hank Parker Lews rods. I love them! Scale of 1-10, 7.75
First off I'd like to thank you for your service this country wouldn't be so great without the brave such as yourself I've looked at the same combo and absolutely love it
I haven't used one yet!!! But would love too!!!! I didn't know you were a Vet.....THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!! I'm not a Vet....but I was a first responder for almost 20yrs. EMT-FIREFIGHTER....
My bright red Lew’s Mach Smash just came in the mail and I can’t wait to try it out. That camo American Hero looks pretty sweet! Always love watching your videos! Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
i have been eyeing this combo myself for a while as the first entry into bass fishing, but i am left handed so i hope whoever wins it enjoys it and this is just one more reaosn for me to pick it up
I was just thinking about buying an American hero combo the other day as my first baitcaster so this video came in very handy would love to try that combo. Great video
I bought an American hero yesterday and went fishing today caught the first two fish for that rod and reel combo today first fish was on a rattle trap and the second was on a red and white spinner bait
Love the camp pattern on the cap. I mean the digital looks cool on the reel but it really would look awesome with the same as on the cap. Thanks for the awesome content
So I have the AH 7’6” heavy for swim baits and love it. I’ve had it for 3 years. It’s in a steady rotation amongst other Lews combos, 13 Fishing, Favorite and Shimano. Always some solid fishing going on in Florida. Great video as always TJ.🙌🤙
Was looking at them at Cabelas. Like the reel but wanted to do some research on it. After not fishing for an extended time, retired and now getting back into fishing. After watching you video a realize this would be a great choice. Thanks for the video.
I recently tried out my friends American Hero and I loved it! They are awesome. Definitely have to get one myself. Thank you for your service man god bless.
I was just looking at these online trying to figure out when the boss will let me spend another $100 on fishing. Winning the giveaway would sure make life easier!
Dude that’s sick, the only baitcaster I have is an American hero and it is an absolute beast and one hell of a combo for its price, I’ve caught plenty of 5-7 pound bass on it. It’s also extremely versatile!!!
i own a lews american hero baitcaster combo, i love the one i have, the rod is 6’ 6” rod, i know the rod combo i have can handle almost any fishing, the rod has caught more catfish than what i have attended to use it for bass buthey at least i know if it comes down to it then i know what the rod is capable of, the reel is also smooth as well
even though I was late for the contest, I must say from one vet to another.( THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE) it's a pleasure to be a subscriber to your channel.
I have the black and blue American hero and I love it . It is a great combo for sure.. I’d love to give the new version a shot . Gonna have to investigate it for sure .. great video 👊👊👊
YakPak I have been looking for an american hero in that color around me and they are all sold out. It would be a blessing if I could have that combo! Keep up the great videos!!
Hey YakPak, Right here for the combo, I want to get the combo to give to my father-in-law as his first baitcaster. I know Lew's are great reels I have 3 myself and want to get him one too.

My son is in the Army, he fishes nothing but baitcasters, I never have. He sure would love to see me fishing with one, this one especially...
I went to Bass Pro Shop this morning, I couldn’t find any of the combos you had mentioned, the cheapest one I saw was $170, sorry, that’s not going to happen, especially right now plus if I can’t figure out how to use it, it would be quite a waste.

Hi norm
Fellow vet from Ohio here brother. Just picked up one of these combos on my visit to Bradenton florida, landed a 5lb largemouth on it to top the evenin off. Caught well over 30lbson this combo and the only complaint I have, is the thumb clicker disengaging mid cast. Didn’t happen a lot but sure was frustrating untangling a whole spool of 50lb braid.

Thank you so much for your service , and the sacrifices you’ve made.
Definitely makes the slow work days go by faster watching your content. Fire man! 🔥

After not being able to catch anything all week, it’s great to be able to chill and see you catch some!!
ANOTHER BANGER‼️

I have never ever had a 100 dollar combo I use a quantum pl100 from Walmart and a mantis rod and i hop i can get this combo it will make me happy.
Best of luck to everyone we're all hoping for a win here
Appreciate your service my friend and to all the troops thank you for what you do everyday 🙏
imagine being so lucky to win this reel not only because it’s a decent combo but because YakPak touched it😱
I probably wouldn't use it just because it came from him
Wow🤨
glazing is crazy
In terms of bait casters I prefer Abu’s reels over lews, but I used my buddies American hero spinning combo before and it felt wonderful. Made me go out and by a Lews XP speed spin a few days later.
Nobody:
Literally no one:
Me: I’m about to win this shoutout
You and norm have changed the way I fish
I really appreciate the help I get from every video thanks
Everyone's dream be millionaire, my dream win the giveaway.

American Hero 6"10 Mediam Heavy
It’s crazy how we talked about this a few weeks ago. 🔥🔥 You got me convinced YakPak.
My dad got one a few weeks ago and it’s his first and we still don’t know how to dial it in but it looks and feels great and God bless
My advice is too turn the dial on the side of the reel at 10 or whatever the highest tightness is then use the knob next too the handles to make your bait lower slowly without it stopping then after a month or two after your comfortable then mess with the dial too he likes.
Black and Blue Bassin I tried that already I just think I haven’t set it completely right but thank you it helps a lot
Alannah Lopez you might just be throwing too light of a lure
Thanks for your service sir! When my brother wanted to get into fishing the first rod I went for was the black and blue American hero spinning setup. To this day he still uses this rod.

I love my American Hero so much (the 7' black and blue model) that I bought another reel off Facebook Marketplace, then my AH rod tip got smashed in the SUV door jam, so now both my AH reels are on Hank Parker Lews rods. I love them! Scale of 1-10, 7.75
I bought my first Lew's because of your videos, fishing with Norms and tactical bassins videos. I have never used a baitcaster.
First off I'd like to thank you for your service this country wouldn't be so great without the brave such as yourself I've looked at the same combo and absolutely love it

Fairly new to the whole fishing environment. However, I’ve grown to love it very much.
Most important thank you so much your service. 👍🏽
I have an American Hero spinner and I don't have any issues with it, it's one of my favorite combos.
Speed worms are by far my favorite worm to fish. That combo looks really nice

Best baitcaster for $100 or less there is. It's my go to combo. The camo one I believe has an upgraded rod also. Great video as always.
