Buying Fishing Rods on a Budget: What You Need to Know

Do you really need the most expensive fishing rod for every technique? Pro bass angler Justin Lucas says no! Justin provides an honest and insightful breakdown on when an affordable rod (under $ 100) can get the job done. Conversely, he explains when pushing your budget a little will help you catch more fish. For an upfront base of comparison, you get a lighter and increasingly sensitive rod, the more money you spend. BASS FISHING ROD SETUPS Topwater Baits: ● Abu Garcia Vendetta Casting Rod, 7’4" MedHvy, Moderate: https://wired2.fish/VendettaCastingRod ● Abu Garcia REVO MGX Casting Reel: http://wired2.fish/REVO-MGX-CastingReel Moving Baits: ● Abu Garcia Veritas Casting Rod, 7’3" Heavy: https://wired2.fish/AbuGarciaVeritas ● Abu Garcia REVO STX Gen 4 Casting Reel: http://wired2.fish/REVO-STX Bottom Contact Baits: ● Abu Garcia Fantasista Premier Casting Rod, 7′ MedHvy: http://wired2.fish/FantasistaCastingRod ● Abu Garcia REVO MGX Casting Reel: http://wired2.fish/REVO-MGX-CastingReel Lucas selects rods based on the chosen technique. There are 2 categories, 1) moving baits like crankbaits, spinnerbaits, bladed jigs, or topwaters, and 2) bottom contact baits — think jigs, Texas rigs, drop shot, Neko rig, or shaky head. With moving baits, bites are usually aggressive, so you’re not gaining much by using an expensive, super-sensitive rod. However, with bottom techniques, a sensitive rod telegraphs details like bottom composition and helps you detect subtle and delicate bites much more effectively. At the end of the day, we’re all on a budget, and fishing doesn’t need to cost a fortune. This guidance provides good direction on how to spend your hard-earned dollar. ► SUBSCRIBE for more AWESOME FISHING TIPS: http://wired2.fish/YTSub ► SHOP WIRED2FISH GEAR HERE: http://www.wired2fishgear.com FOLLOW US HERE AS WELL: ► http://www.wired2fish.com ► http://www.instagram.com/wired2fish_official ► http://www.facebook.com/wired2fish ► http://www.twitter.com/wired2fish

4 Reasons to Switch Ice Fishing Rods to Fluorocarbon Fishing Line

It wasn’t long ago that fluorocarbon fishing line was only used as a leader material in ice fishing applications due to high memory, stiffness, and overall poor handling characteristics. Ice fishing expert, Brad Hawthorne, shares his primary reasons for switching the majority of his ice fishing combos to straight fluorocarbon. Here are the reasons: FEATURED PRODUCT: • Sufix Invisiline Fluorocarbon Ice Line, 5lb: https://wired2.fish/Sufix-Ice-Fluoro • Shimano Stradic CI4 1000 Spinning Reel: https://wired2.fish/ShimanoStradic-CI4-Plus • Tuned Up Power Precision Ice Rod: https://wired2.fish/TUCR-PowerPrecision • Rapala® Mesh Knit Beanie – Grey White: https://wired2.fish/RapalaMeshKnitBeanie 1. Invisibility. A lower light refractivity makes fluorocarbon less visible to wary gamefish over monofilament or braided mainlines. 2. Abrasion resistance. Durability is a huge deal in ice fishing. As Hawthorne explains, your fishing line is constantly in contact with the jagged edges of the hole as well as ice and equipment topside. 3. Fluorocarbon is more abrasion resistant than monofilament, so it reduces the chance of break-offs. 4. Fishes heavy. Fluorocarbon sinks, monofilament floats. A faster fall rate is often preferred for getting down quickly and transmitting subtle bites when vertical fishing. 5. Reduced stretch. Many fluorocarbon fishing lines have reduced stretch rates compared to monofilament—this aids in both bite detection and hook setting. ========= ABOUT US: ========= Wired2fish is one of the most popular recreational fishing brands in the world.

Spring Bass Fishing Gear Review – Top New Baits and Rods For 2020!

A TON of awesome new baits and gear have already hit the market this Spring! Between the Bassmaster Classic and the start of prime fishing season across the south, the influx of new offerings is crazy! Today we’re wading through the new gear in search of the best of the best. We’ve tried a huge variety of baits and gear and compiled a short list of items that are worth taking a serious look at.

Today’s video is focused around baits and equipment that will have a tangible impact on your fishing. From the Hog Farmer Flex Rigs and their ability to draw drastically more strikes than stiffer rigs, to the Quiver worm’s ability to shake and shimmy unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, every item in today’s video has the ability to help you catch more fish. When it comes to rods, we looked at both ends of the spectrum.

Crankbait rods are one of the most difficult selections an angler can make because different sizes and styles of crankbaits require such different equipment to maximize their potential. The Intenza comes in at a budget-friendly price and is probably the most adaptable crankbait rod we’ve used to date. On the higher end of the gear spectrum, both the St. Croix and the Poison Adrena bring incredible sensitivity within reach, and the Twin Power delivers ultra high-end performance at a reduced price.

Below you’ll find a breakdown of all the equipment from today’s video in the order they appeared. We’ve included links that go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see the products in detail. For the baits, we’ve even included color recommendations and rigging advice. We hope you find this gear review helpful!
