      I'm in Oregon, and sierra nevada distributes here! They're one of my favorite breweries. That hazy IPA he has there I have in my fridge currently. Greg knows his stuff, not just angling. Tight lines.

    @HorsemanX72 4 года назад +24

    Cool combos Greg. As usual, I am drinking my morning coffee from my " Thank ya' sir" mug and watching your latest video. It would be awesome if you could do a tutorial on how you skip cast baits while seated in your yak. It's something I am trying to get better at myself. Spinning rod is no problem but like the G man says "my wife can do that", but bait caster……… Keep up the good work.

    • @yakangler419
      @yakangler419 4 года назад +6

      James Belcher great idea. None of the vids on RUclips specifically talk about bait casting/yak skip casting. The “roll” skip cast doesn’t work for me.

    • @HorsemanX72
      @HorsemanX72 4 года назад +4

      @@yakangler419 Yeah, the roll cast seated in a kayak should be re-named the "smack slap back lash cast. Cause lots of times I smack the water beside the yak and instant back lash lol.

      I'd love to see a video on this from Greg also and get more perspective than just G-man's, even though he's ridiculous at it. Greg's so humble that he won't ever say or think it, but he's really, really good at it too.

  • @kennythao9558
    @kennythao9558 4 года назад

    The thing I like about your content is you always let us know what lure you use! Color/size and the way you fish it. Not too many channels display/provide a photo of the lure they use which a lot of subscribers actually want to see.

  • @andyn0133

  • @MSmith-jf5wo
    @MSmith-jf5wo 4 года назад

    Great selection of Combo Rigs, Greg. Like you said about the rods: Want distance - go Long...Want precise - go short.
    I learn something NEW, every time I watch your Videos. Thanks...

  • @darksidemachining
    @darksidemachining 4 года назад +5

    Appreciate the detailed specs of each rod including the type of line loaded on each. Thanks for the bobber stop tip.

  • @digitalwells
    @digitalwells 4 года назад +1

    There are alot of rod arsenal videos out there but this one was extremely helpful.
    - rods match the types of presentation s
    - reels consistent so to eliminate any changing in the casting mechanics
    - a hammer only needs 5 rods on his kayak
    Thanks Greg

  • @brynenichols3144
    @brynenichols3144 4 года назад +10

    Greg, there is a traveling tackle box going around to some of my favorite RUclips anglers like *@Firststatefishing* and @kickintheirbasstv.I suggested that they send it to you. I think it would be fun to see you hookup on that challenge. “Thank ya sir”

  • @joshuawatson6489
    @joshuawatson6489 4 года назад

    Thanks for all you do for the kayak community. Not going to lie, your technique on using a frog is how I learned and is now how I fish with a frog.

    @chrisfisher3900 4 года назад +3

    I can’t make up my mind to go with left or right handed reels either.

    • @trd4x429
      @trd4x429 4 года назад

      Bro, go with the side what your most comfortable with while your fishing. Unless your like Greg, who can fishes both side :)
      Good luck and have fun. Hope this helps.

    • @Alextheskater91

    @dillonhammon8950 4 года назад

    I just found your channel about 5-6 months ago. Since then I’ve watched every one of your videos. I love the style of your videos. Nothing super flashy or clickbaity. Just straight up fishing! That’s what I like to watch! Keep putting them out and I will keep watching them for sure. Especially in times like these where I’m stuck at the house and can’t get out fishing myself.

  • @flbass9774
    @flbass9774 4 года назад

    Very informative video. As a recreational angler I appreciate your simplistic approach. I fish from the bank and everything fits in the backpack. Too many youtubers try to hawk their certain sponsors and always show boatloads of tackle on each video. Keep it up!

    This video couldn't have come at a better time. I have been wrestling with which rods to get to flush out my core rods for kayak fishing and was going to watch your previous video on your setups.

  • @kyleyoung6378
    @kyleyoung6378 4 года назад

    Living close to the delta, watching your stuff is always really relatable, as most areas nearby are pretty similar in fishing style to the delta. Hoping to get a kayak someday to be able to get to the juicy spots that shore fishing can’t. Loved the videos every since I first started watching, and still look forward to every one.

  • @jasonkoerner5552
    @jasonkoerner5552 4 года назад

  • @travislampton1410
    @travislampton1410 4 года назад

  • @kongvue4868

    Thanks for the background on your setups - get that guide replaced! You have reinvigorated my kayak fishing and I am planning a trip to the Canadian Boundary Waters because of that renewal! Keep up the great work and if you feel up for a trip to AZ, let's fish the Colorado River!
    Thanks again!

    Appreciate the advice. This year is my first year in a kayak which we had to buy some cheaper ones that we have modified for pure comfort. Pre-spawn has been epic and having the kayak to get where I wanna go has been epic. Thank you

  • @nategarner1167
    @nategarner1167 4 года назад

    Thanks, Greg. I’ve narrowed to 4 rods. Spinner finesse rod, glass chatter/crank rod, flipping/jig rod, and a frog/top water rod. All with shimano reels, two curado Ks, a shimano citica, and shimano spin. Great run down, really get a lot of good tips from you.

  • @kalebherring4396
    @kalebherring4396 4 года назад

    Dude your the bomb greg i love the way your so organized on the yak. Not a lot of people realize that. Ive enjoyed seeing you be so versatile with each rod throwing several baits on certain setups like your glass rod using it for a chatterbait setup which doubles up as a lipless rod with the lv 500 or using it with a squarebill its nice to have one rod that does all. Your a good with your thought process. Not alot of people are able to think that way. They way you think serves you in many ways ive seen You make some tournament choices sometimes im like this guy reminds me of myself your awesome man! God bless

  • @tobeonh2099
    @tobeonh2099 4 года назад

  • @catchofthedave8681
    @catchofthedave8681 4 года назад

    This my first year of doing tourneys from kayak. I take 5 casting rods, 2 spinning rods. Spinning-ned rig on one, dropshot on other. For the rest- 1 worming/texas rig rod, 1 jig rod, 1 cranking rod for squarebills to dt-10s, 1 chatterbait/spinnerbait rod, and 1 heavy frogging rod w/ braid. So very similar setups. I just always find myself using spinning rods more than anything...especially when its getting into the afternoon and I havn’t got near a limit yet. So basically watching your channel the past couple years and then knowing my own trends has been how I go about choosing my rods.
    You should get the new phenix maxim to replace your spinning rod. The 2020 is redesigned and amazing. I use the 6’10 med light for my dropshot rod with a daiwa exceler.

  • @jamescanady3442
    @jamescanady3442 4 года назад

    Greg, this literally couldn't have been better timing! I was picking out my first few baitcaster setups last night, but couldn't quite decide exactly what I wanted, so I figured that I'd make my decision today. And then, bam! Upon checking my favorite channels on RUclips this morning, this posted! Thanks you for taking the time to do this! It's helped more than I can say!

  • @umienh916
    @umienh916 4 года назад

    I really appreciate these videos. Always wonder what setups you are using to catch these hogs. I loved your last few trips on the delta since I'm a local delta guy. The really helps. Never caught a fish on a frog before and excited for that day when it comes. Your best Huddleston fishing comment of the year from your video had to be "When she spits it out, that's when I see her." You nailed it!!

    I liked this video. Just started fishing from a kayak, yesterday being my second day on it. I've only been going out with 3 but just got the rod holders to make my crate and you gave me some good ideas.

    Sweet video man! I’ve been binge watching yours and many other fishing channels since not much is open around me. Keep up the the good content and good luck on the water.
