I have only been fishing bass since Thanksgiving 2021 when my son came to Florida and showed me there were fish in my retention ponds. Being really new to this sport, I don't have a boat so I am fishing exclusively in a retention pond in my subdivision. I bought the rod and reel recommended in the video - great setup. Learned how to tie a double uni and put 15lb fluorocarbon on 15lb braid. I was throwing a Texas rigged 7" Strike King Rage Tail in green pumpkin and on March 3rd, 2022 I caught a 9.85 pound, 25-1/4 inch large mouth bass. Hooked for life. Thank you for all the advice.
I've always use spinning reels and recently acquired a baitcaster. This video helped me understand what I was doing wrong with the baitcaster...I was using the wrong weight lures. Thank you.
I just bought the exact reel, and line setup with the leader and it casts amazing. No more twists or curls unspooling in the reel it casts so much further. Total game changer with the braid.
Caught a nice 2lb yesterday with a drop shot/wacky rig. I recently switched everything to braid with leaders and the difference I noticed in both my casting and sensitivity is insane. Morale of thr story, when everything else fails, the spinning rod combo and set up pulls through
@@mikefreetage6808 cheaper and you have more options. Cranking? I can tie on a 10 foot mono leader. Skipping or using finesse techniques? I can throw in a fluro leader as well as change line sizes. I essentially have limitless options with just 1 rod. Also, it is way cheaper in my eyes. Braid last way longer, no memory, and the most sensitive of the bunch. You can a 100 dollar rod into a 200 with braid lol
That fish was bonafide big. For spinning gear I have the Lew’s Custom Pro but I have also fallen in love with the $59.99 Lew’s Speed Spin. It’s been a great reel and I have caught some of my biggest Smallmouth of the year with it over the last month.
Spinning Rods are the juice! nostalgia and they just flat out catch fish! to each his own just use what works best for you. Great vid and explaination!
I'm weird. I started with those long bamboo poles as a kid like 1980. Then spincasted (good spincasters are also underrated). Then used the old school ambassador baitcaster and thought it was awesome. Finally as a teen with a job and license, I finally bought my first spinning reel. Later I got into the sleeker, smaller baitcasters. I think I still have more spinning reels than baitcaster, from size 10 (1000) to 6500. But you're right , it isn't even an option. Having versatile spinning combos with you are a must!
I use 30lb braid with a 15lb fluoro leader. Besides having the clear line if I'm in clear water, I'm not wasting all my braid constantly when I retie. I use my spinning rod for Texas, ned, and shakey head fishing. A lot of times jerk baits too. Blood knot for me for splicing lines. Dude, that's a fatty walleye...holy s$#%
I would really appreciate some advice; I am a beginner. I bought a St. Croix Premier medium power fast action 7 foot rod with a Penn Battle III size 3000 spinning reel. My main line is a 20 lb Power Pro braided line and my leader will be the 15 lb Seaguar Blue label fluorocarbon line. I have hooks of all sizes from size 12 to 5/0, offset worm hooks, extra wide gap hooks, gamakatsu octupus hooks, size 2 Walleye hooks. I have spring as well as slip bobbers and tungsten slip sinkers as well as split shot. I also have swivels. As for bait, I use live worms, I also have crankbaits, senko worms, shads, poppers, finesse football jigs, strike king rage bugs and spinner baits. I plan on fishing on lakes from my fishing canoe for walleye, smallmouth, largemouth bass, perch, bluegill and the occasional pike or muskie. My question is, how do I set up my rod? For example, I thought of using a swivel between the main and leader, and then I can attach various pre - cut and pre - tied leader lines that have different hooks for the different fish I am targeting, which will go on and off the swivel via a figure-of-eight loop knot. Above the swivel (on the main line), I will have a bead, and then 1/2 oz bullet slip weight and then a slip bobber with a bead and bobber stopper knot on top to control the depth. But then I see many people saying they hardly ever use swivels and they just tie the braided to fluorocarbon leader directly. And then I see many fishermen not using a bobber at all. So I am not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for the long message.
If you guys are wondering how long his leader is you can search up trf leader to learn more but basically he said when you reel your lure all the way to the tip of your rod the leader knot should be just on the outside of the reel maybe 1-2 inches
idk why people hate spinning rods but i absolutely love them so versatile and i catch the majority of the bass on said spinning rod meanwhile my gucci baitcaster gets put on the back burner lol
Love my casting reels but been using that same spinning reel set up for about a yr now and it’s my go to, love it. My lews spinning rods are awesome an have been great but just got a Okuma medium + set up and have to say it’s pretty sweet.
Learning to use my baitcaster currently and honestly right now all it is to me is a depression stick. Need to buy a nicer spinning rod so I can stay happy but still cast effectively
I really enjoy your videos. New to your channel and your teaching are well done! I’m in Minnesota and just started bass fishing last year at 57 yrs old. Yet to catch anything big!
Using a swivel between your main line and leader will help get rid of line twist but if your using a top water like a popper you definitely don’t want to us a swivel.
Hey Tyler, you might not see this because this video is 3 years old, but I was just curious what swimbait you are using. It looks like a nice little finesse lure. Great video Tyler keep up the good work!
Once i learned the FG ive never considered a different connection. I made the lazy mistake of not usimg it to tie my main line to the backing and it cost me a trip.
I still prefer my spinning setup to my baitcaster, I just grew up with it and I feel way more accurate. But nothing beats just the one handed operations of a baitcaster.
Great as always. Could you talk about leader lengths and why different folks recommend different lengths.... spinning and baitcast leader length comparison.
Love your videos! Learned a ton. I tie the FG knot and Albright. You gotta learn those! You can use longer leaders as the knot can go through that last eye easier, especially the FG!
that's a monster walleye dude！some people also think baitcast are cooler looking，but actually a nice spinning reel could be fancy as well，for me i like spinning
I can't decide between tatula xt MHF, dobyns maverick medium/fast, I could maybe get that normal tatula or the dobyns fury, but still the recommended lure weights are really throwing me off. I want to weightless 5 inch senkos, but have a big of wiggle room for a tad lighter/smaller or a tad heavier. I know this isn't really something that can be done without buying 2 rods, so I figured I'd probably go lighter end and then if I want heavier I need a baitcaster secondary.
That rod might be the spinning rod I have been looking for. With all the brick and mortar stores out of stock on everything it is hard to actually go look at something in person. I was thinking of the TP1 Black as I love the casting version however I like the idea of not having the micro guides on my spinning combo.
Hey Tyler the tip of my rod broke off and it was a 7ft CastawayRod with my H20 Express mettle hd baitcaster so would you want me to get a new rod or just continue to fish with it?
Hey Tyler I'm new to the baitcaster I have 2of them I'm don't fish alot but I'm wanting to learn to use them but what I'm wanting to know is what is the best line to use for them for example I already on a video I wanted you said 50 lb test for frog and chadderbait can I use 17 lb test for crank and plopper and plastics can I do this
Tyler, are you still liking this combo? When I click on the rod link I don’t see the “tube special”. I am usually fishing the lake front/river in Chicago which are pretty deep. Are there any other set ups you recommend for the area I fish? Thanks!
I still don't get using a 3000 series reel, I know a lot of Anglers use them but to me it's too much weight for Finesse Fishing. 2500 is as big as I go. I've never had a Bass spool a 2500. Also, great Walleye. That might have flirted with a Master Angler (if that sort of thing is important to you). Here in Michigan it's 29 inches.
No longer than the rod in my opinion. I want, when I cast, to not have the connection knot in the spool. See this video: ruclips.net/video/C9kSs-IC2QE/видео.html
Tyler, can you go over drag? I get that it’s how rigid the reel allows the line to retrieve. When and why is drag appropriate? This is new to me. Also, light versus medium on a spinning rod. I have a light spinning rod that I bought years ago as recommended by the guy as Bass Pro Shop, for the life of me I don’t know why. I’m sure he explained when and where I’d want it and what I’d throw with it, but.... I’m clueless to these light and medium rods.
Stick with medium! And yes, you can over do the drag. You’ve gotta just play around with it and figure out how tight it should be on the hookset and then how tight to have it during the fight
Look at the boat deck of every professional angler and you’ll see 90% baitcasters. They are by far the best type of fishing rod for efficient bass catching
Dude… I live in NY and I just bought my first fishing reel. I’ll be fishing on both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. *I’m looking for a rod to match with my Shimano Nasci 2500FC?* So far I’m thinking Ugly Stick Elite Medium 7/ft? I guess for $60 it’s the best from what I hear
Hi! How long would the fc leader be for this setup? Just bought braid and fc for my spinning rod and I wanted to know how to exactly set it up. Thanks in advance! Love your channel! ❤️
Hey Tyler, really awesome walleye. Did you get any measurements? Where were you fishing in NY? It looked like Lake Erie. I live and fish in the Finger Lakes region of NY. Braid to leader connection knots for spinning rods.....look up the Red Phillips knot. Great knot and super easy to tie. I've used FG and Uni to Uni previous to converting to the Red Phillips.
I’m looking to go on a fishing trip to NY (I’m from CT) and was wondering if you had any recommendations for best bass spots? Any help is greatly appreciated!
@@MKB1L There are literally 100s of choices. Thousand Island area/St Lawrence river (where Tyler shot this video), Lake Erie (western NY near Buffalo), Cayuga Lake (one of the Finger Lakes), and Oneida Lake (central NY just north of Syracuse) are some of most well known and have all hosted Bassmaster tournaments. Any of the Finger Lakes (I fish at Otisco Lake frequently).

Awesome!
Baitcasters are a lot of fun, despite their quirks. But if you can only take one rod out with you, it should always be a spinning rod IMO.
Versatile
Definitely
YES 🙌🔥

what size is the reel?
Which line is it? I’ve been watching the pros use some very high visible line on their spinning reels and can’t figure out which kind of
Takes a big man to admit he was wrong and make a special episode just for that. A+ bro, still one of my favorite, most educational fisherman in 2022.
Caught a nice 2lb yesterday with a drop shot/wacky rig. I recently switched everything to braid with leaders and the difference I noticed in both my casting and sensitivity is insane.
Morale of thr story, when everything else fails, the spinning rod combo and set up pulls through
Why do you use leaders with braid ?
@@mikefreetage6808 cheaper and you have more options. Cranking? I can tie on a 10 foot mono leader. Skipping or using finesse techniques? I can throw in a fluro leader as well as change line sizes.

The spinning rod, the classic!
Of course!
Love your channel dude I'm 65 and I relate to your views on fishing and life keep up the killer content ✊
Well howdy Charles! Happy to have you along the journey with me on this channel
Think you have the only intro that I never skip lol
That’s what I like to hear!
That fish was bonafide big. For spinning gear I have the Lew’s Custom Pro but I have also fallen in love with the $59.99 Lew’s Speed Spin. It’s been a great reel and I have caught some of my biggest Smallmouth of the year with it over the last month.
For sure man!
great vid this definitely educated me with line because i used to just use 8 lbs low vis green mono or 15 lbs braid
Awesome!
In Florida I use spinning rod using wacky bass fishing and ned rig fishing but for jerk baits rattle traps and crank baits I use a bait caster
Spinning Rods are the juice! nostalgia and they just flat out catch fish! to each his own just use what works best for you. Great vid and explaination!
Honestly i love both baitcaster setup or spinning setup they both catch fish and get the job done.

A spinning rod is also more accurate on long casts. It's very easy to feather the line with your index finger. Nice Fish!
I can promise you, a spinning rod is not more accurate for bass lures

What is a FG
I still prefer my spinning setup to my baitcaster, I just grew up with it and I feel way more accurate. But nothing beats just the one handed operations of a baitcaster.
Exactly, I feel that
Hi Tyler, awesome video 👍👍👍👌
Can you fish glide baits &/or multi-jointed swim baits with a spinning reel? Especially the bigger types or is that reserved for baitcasters only?
Love your content. You help me so much with bass fishing.
Awesome! I’m so glad
Drag is key when using small hooks!!🤘🤘

Sick sick walleye! Congrats 👌🏻👍🏻
Informative. Thanks.
Great description. Thank you.
Add some more backing and bring that line right up yo edge of spool! You'll get a lot of casting distance
Tylers Reel Fishing, nice informative video and awesome Walleye! Keep doin what you do!
Thanks bud!
As long as its not a "Shakespeare" rod combo I'm all for it..
And it’s not
My signature one is basically an ugly stik gx2 and a shakespere reel
You are a spinning genius
Wow that’s a huge walleye. my pb walleye is a 9lber that I caught in Canada on a rattle trap somehow, and great video as always👍
That’s a big one for sure!
Really liked how you set up the chapters on this one. Thanks for taking the time to do that! Great video (as always)!
Thanks Mitch!
I can’t decide between shimano vanguard 2500 or 3000 for freshwater lakes, rivers, and ponds. Mostly bass trout. Also st croix premier or victory
I don’t use any of those brands, I use Lew’s. Sorry, wish I could help!
That was some rough water!! Once again thanks for the info!! So detailed greatly appreciated!!
Spinning rod works better for some many things such as finesse fishing. People that only use baitcasters handicap themselves
I agree man
Great video, old guy learning a lot. Do you use a different line as a backer for your braid. Or do you just use braid and fluorocarbon leader?
Braid on the spool, flouro on the leader
I’m loooking for a main everyday spinning rod.. is that what you suggest? The lews 7’2 medium? Thanks
That rod might be the spinning rod I have been looking for. With all the brick and mortar stores out of stock on everything it is hard to actually go look at something in person. I was thinking of the TP1 Black as I love the casting version however I like the idea of not having the micro guides on my spinning combo.
Yeah I’m not a huge fan of micro guides
Do you think this set up would be good for a mix between pike/bass fishing?
I was just pike fishing with mine yesterday here in Alaska. Not much luck up here. These were some solid tips bro!!
I’m sure you’ll find em!
Beautiful walleye
Thanks ty!
Personally I only use my baitcaster for heavier baits plus I get more distance with my spinning reels
Hey Tyler the tip of my rod broke off and it was a 7ft CastawayRod with my H20 Express mettle hd baitcaster so would you want me to get a new rod or just continue to fish with it?
I would recommend getting a new rod, if your worried about breaking it get a ugly stik gx2 or SixGillFishing creature.
Black and Blue Bassin Thanks
Get you a new Lew’s rod

Also, great Walleye. That might have flirted with a Master Angler (if that sort of thing is important to you). Here in Michigan it's 29 inches.
The reason for the 3000 is so that the line spools off the line easier. I just feel confident with it in my hand and can cast my arm off
That walleye was a monster how many inches? my pb is 31 inches ice fishing in Minnesota
That walleye is over 30 inches great job
28in!
TylersReelFishing still a great fish
@@TylersReelFishing did ya weigh it???
Had to be over 10. Multiple people have told me that too
That was a massive walleye dude! Congrats! And they are great to eat :)
Yes it was!
I us both spinning and bait caster
For sure!
Beautifull fish my friend..congrats!!!
How long of a leader should you use when connecting to a braided line on a spinning and baitcaster reel?
No longer than the rod in my opinion. I want, when I cast, to not have the connection knot in the spool. See this video: ruclips.net/video/C9kSs-IC2QE/видео.html
Question. I bought a lews Mach 2 spinning reel and it’s noisy right off the bat. Have you heard of that?
Tyler, can you go over drag? I get that it’s how rigid the reel allows the line to retrieve. When and why is drag appropriate? This is new to me.
Also, light versus medium on a spinning rod. I have a light spinning rod that I bought years ago as recommended by the guy as Bass Pro Shop, for the life of me I don’t know why. I’m sure he explained when and where I’d want it and what I’d throw with it, but.... I’m clueless to these light and medium rods.
Stick with medium! And yes, you can over do the drag. You’ve gotta just play around with it and figure out how tight it should be on the hookset and then how tight to have it during the fight
TylersReelFishing
My mistake. I should have written that better. Could you teach us about drag at some point?
TIP .... select line strength and drag accordingly ... Based on hook wire diameter ...
If you are ever back up in ny in the spring I’d do anything for some time on the water with you.
Maybe one day!
Hello
Ive never used anything else... didnt think baitcasters were the norm lol. Honestly they kinda make me think of kiddie poles.
Look at the boat deck of every professional angler and you’ll see 90% baitcasters. They are by far the best type of fishing rod for efficient bass catching
Why is it for beginners? At 48. I’ve been fishing most of my life and I still use my spinning with plastics. I use bait caster for crank baits.
What size of reel are you using on this?
How long should the leader be?
Search “TylersReelFishing leader”
@@TylersReelFishing thanks bud. 👍
I don’t know if I want this reel or the abu Garcia Zata spinning reel
I spooled up 30lb braid with 8lb floro leader. I fish erie smallmouth. Is 30lb to stout?? I mainly did to save on spooling more line..
Yeah I use 15
Yeah the FG knot is definitely a bit of a pain.
I never trust the drag on my bait caster every time I go to set the hook my drag is either to lose it too tight 😤
Operator error! Lol
The last item that I need to complete my TylersReelFishing spinning combo is the rod, what size do you recommend for primarily bank fishing?
7’0”M
Great video, Tyler. 2 questions for ya: What size reel is on that combo? I saw 4 size options in the link...and how much did that Walleye weigh?
3000 size. Didn’t weigh it, but several walleye guys have told me it was over 10 EASY
I use a lews Mach one with 30lb braid to 12 lb fluorocarbon, do you think I should use 15/20 pound braid mainline?
Yes. No reason on a spinning to have anything over 15
Damn that's a beautiful walleye.. Congrats
A biggun for sure
I love how you post every day❤️
Wait you use no backing for your line?
Dude… I live in NY and I just bought my first fishing reel. I’ll be fishing on both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. *I’m looking for a rod to match with my Shimano Nasci 2500FC?* So far I’m thinking Ugly Stick Elite Medium 7/ft? I guess for $60 it’s the best from what I hear

Hi Rosie! I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone can help explain lol
About 6-8 foot long. Just short enough to cast and not have the connecting knot in the reel. I want the knot above my finger holding the line
Do you fish for crappie or panfish ??? Would love to see some .
Put out a few crappie videos a few months ago
I still hate a spinning rod but they can be fun.
