All we need are the 5’ - 6’ Ugly Stik combos, 8lb mono and either the combo reel or a replacement Trion, Ozark Trail, or Sienna, 1000-2000. Use the combo reel til it wears out (5yrs) then replace… Real anglers don’t need anything fancy.

And I was telling my nephew about the sensitivity of this rod and said that if a fish’s lips even graze the bait I would know it so I was cracking up at your analogy of a fish “breathing” on the setup in your video would be detected lol.

    Good morning, I was watching this newest video that you had just posted in regards to Idaho's laws towards baits. Is it me or does it seem that they are making it harder for anglers to catch fish with these restrictions on what types of baits that are now no longer legal to use ?? What is the reasoning for this rule ?? Just curious of their final ruling on this topic. Your thoughts on this.

    • @humbugvideos
      @humbugvideos 11 дней назад

      @@ArizonaFishingLife Most lakes don’t have bait restrictions on them, but the few that do are typically some type of “trophy lake” or limited season fishery. Fish tend to swallow bait more often which leads to higher mortality, so my guess is that they make this law to help reduce those numbers and protect a protected species. Just my guess!

    The extra graphite also makes the rod a lot lighter.

      I haven't. Loomis rods are really expensive and I'm not sure that their feel justifies the price. Maybe I'm wrong, I need to fish with one before my final verdict is made!

      ​@humbugvideos if you are an ultra light freak like me I'm honestly surprised that you haven't. Their ul rods are pretty well known for being awesome
