$750 BAITCASTER Combo | Do You Need EXPENSIVE FISHING GEAR To Catch BASS?

Brian I come out of the construction field like you I’m a labor, but I’m also a master plumber and I also do framing and I hold a MHIC license here in Baltimore Maryland, are use my 68 Saint Croix tournament legend bait caster, and a 68 Saint Croix Jiggin worm, with my three sit Daiwa Fuego 6.3 combination ratio 73 ratio and 8 to 1 ratio, and my third rod is a Boyd Duckett Triad 73 and I have my Tutuila 8 to 1 with my tournament drag but I also have a davit Dudley spinning rod 73 that I’ve been smashing fission for the past two years that only cost $68 and I got a $90 lews Hank Parker, but my thing is Shimano Corrado Hagan series 70 HG and not Shimano Sahara spinning reel 2500 Hagan and I have that match with a pen spinning rod and honestly they were great because every ride that I had from my tournament legends are the only ones that are still working from three to $400 rods and that was just three years ago and I’ve had my tournament St. Croix legends my bait caster rod for jerk baits and my other one for giga worm I paid almost $400 apiece and they’re still working today my reels are all still working today and honestly my Mach 2 bait caster from Lews has caught my personal best ever of almost a 9 pound fish Bess that is , but I have snapped some Dobbin rods I had a buddy that worked at Dick‘s that would get a lot of rods to go out and use and they’re not worth it and I realize this most of the rods that are over $200 that are manufactured by the thousands has the wrong spine and that’s why they do not have the best parabolic been to hold back and fight the fish good that’s why a good fisherman a good anger always know when to keep the dragged play the fish out but you got a watch it said hook ain’t right you’re playing with danger Brian thanks for everything you made my spring my summer and I know the beginning and ending of this summer is going to get even better because ofyoubecause of Matt because of Randy Plunkett I love you guys I feel like I know you I watch so many these damn clips but you’re not wrong and like you always said Brian it’s what makes you feel right it’s what you can do just because someone else don’t like it don’t me to the right for them that’s why I always like your opinion because when you speak your opinion someone with common sense and understands knows that you’re not saying that this is how it goes you’re saying that it’s how it works for you and how it works for lotta others you always have a blessed way on the road are you and your family and you’re right you deserve it you work hard Brother and anybody comes from landscaping you’re talking about keeping other things alive not even your average Joe can go to landscape

Dam it you are the best.

Brian you should try TFO rods if you haven't already, love them, light tuff and a lifetime warranty lol

What a good rod at $200 for one stick nick like me?? This market is just way over saturated these days..with a height of 7"2??

what ever your career is you need the best of the best to perform your job. for a regular guy like me I don't. So 40- 70 dollars reel is fine plus it keeps my wife happy and you need to use big words you need to impress anyone if they don't get it thats there fault.

Does the pro series get mad at you for telling all

I'm very new to fishing. Was just wondering what makes a real better for certain baits over others?

OMG…We don't need Apple to get their greedy hands on this hobby. Thanks Brian for the tips and real world of being practical.

I don't feel like you had to explain why you have expensive reels bro. If you worked hard enough to get where you are and are also fishing Pro, I mean… Cmon bro. You gotta have the best

Sensitive is everything im a G.Loomis and Lew's fan
You got to pay to play

Great advice for those who don't know how to control their spending.

I just picked up my first high end reel, there's quite a difference between using my $99 shimano slx and a $420 shimano metanium

Thank you brother, way to break out the phone price love it.

Love this guy and love the way he looks at anything to do with fishing and really just life in general lol

Good topic Brian, I have been busted up in tournaments by locals in a jon boat with a 1975 Johnson. Sometimes you have to get back to basics, but it's cool to have nice stuff.

Justified when no justification is necessary 👍

Brian, in your opinion what is the best rod to use for a top water setup?

Do you or sponsor pay for your rod and reels,and why?

Sorry, a $40 Zebco 40 years ago still works, a $40 Zebco today is plastic Chinese junk

6:58 right

Ha I got a $50 cricket wireless phone you thought u had all of us

I agree. The reel is most important along with balance.gotta 50$diawa rod with a 150$ reel, but dang I can fish it all day

This guy uses Steez and tapes over the Diawa emblem then makes a video saying you dont need a 700 dollar rod. COME ON CUH

Bro thank u for making this video and showing kids they don't HAVE to have 200$-$300 rods and reels… Some of these YouTubers have their priorities wrong an got kids thinking they got to have THAT particular equipment to catch a fish! Thank u sirr 🙏✌️🎣💪👏👏👏
