Words can not explain how amazing tactical bassin is to me. U and Tim explain things so so so well and in great detail that I'll learn new things on technics that I already know. Not one video is wasted on me. I never comment on anything on RUclips. But I had to say thanks and ur doin a great job. God bless u both and ur families. U guys deserve a lot.
Thanks Matt and team. I am a nembwe fisherman in Zambia. I use most of your tip and they do work perfectly. Basically nembwe and bass have identical behaviors and that’s what makes it easier to follow your tips.
Unless you need super sensitivity (jigging), an Ugly Stik Elite or even the Ugly Stik Pro Lite (Walmart $36) 7' MH sure gets the job done for rods. The big bass don't even phase em. Clamp on a Bass Pro Qualifier 2 reel (metal body, great braking system, good enough drag) and you're all good. You don't need that $200-$450 rod and $200+ reel lol... unless you have the cash to blow and want the best, then go for it!
Picked up a couple of Edge rods this winter. Can't wait to try them. I am glad to see your review of the product. It really helps to see someone with product experience to provide objective feedback. Thank you for taking the time to post this video. Much appreciated.
I gotta say I’ve done nothing but follow y’alls suggestions and buyers guides from rods an reels to baits, etc. y’all have never done me wrong and have helped me in so many ways get better quality, affordable gear and catch much bigger Bass. This is my big thank you from a small town fisherman. Always love the content keep it up guys. Brent H🎣🤙🏼
Houdini shad from yum is my favorite chstterbait trailer. Was fishing Toledo bend in a tournament n my partner had a 5,8, and 4lber n the only difference was our trailers!! Been convinced ever since
That Z-man finesse shroom head with the TRD craw is a great bait, especially if your lake has mostly crawfish. . Does really well fished very slowly in the wintertime too.
My favorite argument with anglers is someone who has used say an Ugly Stik their whole life. And I say exactly what you said, “You can catch fish on anything, if you watch your line and look for deflections, but if you aren’t paying attention 24/7 to your line that’s when you miss fish. that’s why i buy Loomis, Shimano, St Croix, Dobyns
I always appreciate your knowledge and I asked about Edge last year, and I ordered 2 at Black Friday sale factory direct, and they are a bit difficult to describe , but, I love both of mine, especially the carbon fiber handles. I guess I’m feeling better just lining up with You Guys😉👍🎣. Thanks Again for your work and knowledge... 🙏
I have a few of the edge first strike rods and I love them but I’ve recently been trying the edge delta rods and honestly for $150 you can’t beat them, they’re quality it up there with my first strikes and black widow. I think the delta is worth mentioning for someone who wants superior quality but doesn’t want to break the bank... anyways great vid guys👍
The Zman finess micro jig is a go to bait year round. I use the hula stick trailer. It gets bit much better than the craw. Try it you like it! Leader for me is all about Seaguar Tatsu! Another very informative video. Thanks guys !
survived to the end of a 40min swimbait video???? i got sad when it ended and wished it was longer. you can never talk too much or too long about swimbaits. i think i speak for alot of people that swimbaits is our favorite topic, probably not the majority but i promise alot of us love the big bait content
I have my uncle's old Sahara 4000FA, thing's still amazing and I use it as my big fish spinning setup, catfish, muskie, striper, and of course for large swimbaits for giant Susquehanna smallies, it does it all. The only problem is finding decent-priced 1-4oz 7'&up rods that aren't built like surf rods or mushy catfish rods, so.
In learning so much from this channel. That fc 100 is exactly what I needed to hear. Ive been catching some dinks and no big fish in some good ponds with my braid.
I love the aird x. Got one this year for a crappie rod. Can cast the tiny baits super well. And funny enough I also chose the saharah. Such a good looking combo as well
With kids fishing, travel Volleyball. I won't have enough $100 to buy those rods. I do appreciate the reviews & suggestions. in the end, for me, its all about the line and bait. Zman is my go to. I'll look at these leaders. I'll be trying out Seguar line this season. Thanks again, Matt. Hope to see more casting and fishing tips soon.
I wish the Arid X had a cranking rod as people seem to love them and I’m trying to replace the rod in my budget cranking set up. There isn’t one bad review on TW for it.
I can relate to that FattyZ. Since I've started fishing again I have caught more large mouth bass on that one bait than all the others combined. Throw it on a pro shroomz ned rig or one of the bulletZ rigs and it is money! I typically fish heavily stained water and I have had the best luck with Green Pumpkin (no surprise here right) and black.
I use mono light line for everything it's harder for the bass to catch sight of and it is super thin. But when I get snagged or run through rocks it doesn't often break so I like it
So I accidentally bought a Daiwa Aird X spinning rod in my sleep while on EBay one night, a 6'6" MH or M.....can't remember. I ended up pairing it with the Daiwa Legalis LT 2500-XH and it's a sweet little combo. Looks killer too, the colors match perfect and it wasn't very expensive at all
I just got my first a Kistler rod yesterday, a 6’9” Magnesium 2. Love the feel of it, haven’t gotten out on the water yet, but so far it seems awesome. Kistler gets a ton of praise on websites like Bassresource and TackleTour.... have you guys ever though of trying them?
You guys have the best videos on you tube. Im constantly checking for new ones. As much gear as you guys test do you have any giveaways? Someday I'll be able to afford one of them 400 dollar rod and reels. Lol
@@Toe_Knee_69 I'm trying 2 or 3 different companies..so far I'm liking the Kastking Flurokote. It's thinner than any other, and tying knots is better. The Yo-Zuri Hybrid is not bad either.. a little thicker in diameter but not bad at all.
To be fair thats most peoples budgets because you dont need a $300+ setup to catch fish. RUclipsrs spend a lot of fishing gear because it might be a full time job. Plus they do seem to get compensated very good. There seems to be a market for unbelievably expensive gear like most "good" hard swimbaits are upwards of 300 dollars because they are in high demand.
Georgia Bassmasters With limited money, focus on getting the best reel you can afford as it will telegraph bites and pickups faster than any other piece of equipment. A smooth drag is priceless. Many fish are lost when a fish fights and the drag binds. Smoothness when cranking will help telegraph bites. Plus, you can move the reel to other rods. Wishing you the best. Oh, and remember, unless you abuse your equipment, that purchase will be useful for over your next 25 plus years.
😁👍 Nice tips! I like tying Yo-Zuri Hybrid clear to my braid for a leader in the clear color it's almost invisible like fluro but in between mono and fluro so it stretches a bit more than fluro but also is much stronger than both...👍try it out.
My buddies and I swear by those aird x rods. Yeah, they’re not the most sensitive blanks in the world but they certainly get the job done. I think they’re excellent for their price point. Plus we’re a bunch of broke college kids so we have to go easy on the wallet sometimes lol
Have you ever used a skirted jig with a finesse worm trailer? Just started this with the strike king swinging swim jig so I can make the worm more weedless than having a weed guard. Hoping this will be productive this year.
Hey you need to try Neko rigging some of those 8-14"worms it works surprisingly well, oh yeah me and my buddy are in an argument I say my 7'6 heavy that has an extremely soft tip is the most versatile he says his six six medium is the most versatile please comment your thoughts below
Matt i got my hands on the edge fly rods when they came out a few years ago when the TFO reps where the ones that sold the edge rods to shops, honestly wasn't impressed with the 5wt I casted it was too much like a split cane fly rod, I would love try their conventional rods for bass fishing tho
Matt, you recommended "Maxima Ultragreen" not that long ago, I did purchase it. How does it compare to "Sunline FC100 System Leader"? Any info on the comparisons would be greatly appreciated.
"Magnum baits they have just a very quiet following" Yes you should have added not after this video comes out when you said that Matt. Every time you guys talk about stuff on here Tackle Warehouse is sold out in no time. Thanks for all you do you are very appreciated.
Glad to see the standin yabbie is back. I had to scour eBay to find a pack. I love fishing shaky heads. My favorite head is the spring type spot remover. I’ve had a really hard time threading elaz-tech plastic on the spring. Do you have any tips to make it easier?
Collin Fox I’ve heard you can use a small screw to make a “pilot hole”.I know what you mean. I’ve got a crosseyez swim jig with a zman craw on the back that isn’t perfectly straight but it’s catching fish.
Rods ..what about the gx2 ugly sticks .ive had good luck with them .salt water trout and bass ..i have other rods but im freaked out about breaking a 100 plus dallor rod .ive seen a bunch get broke watching youtube in the pass few years ..i dont think a g loomis will break though .alkuma co a good brand also .ive fish salmon up in washington .lots of back bone
Have you ever used McCoy Mean Green copolymer line? I know it's not new but I just recently learned about it. Every review I've seen has been positive, just wanted your feedback. Thank you!
Do you have any trouble screwing the zman fatty Z on the shaky head ? I’ve tried a couple zman worms on shaky heads and it hard to get that 10x plastic to thread on. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks guys lovin’ what you both do
I fish from a kayak mostly exclusively and use 3 rods. Ive slowly been upgrading and have got 2 dobyns fury rods, looking at upgrading the last one later this month, still best value in your opinion for that 100 to 120 range or do you now prefer the shimano exage or even something else? Rod I'm looking at is the 734 so that medium heavy 7 foot 3 all purpose type rod. Want to do Texas rig, jigs, maybe some frogs and small swim baits. Thanks for the videos
Justin, I have 3 Dobyn’s Fury rods, including the 734-C. It’s a great rod for T-rigs & jigs; even spinnerbaits, swimjigs & medium Swimbaits. If you don’t have the 735-CB, I’ll tell you it’s a fantastic crankbait rod!
How do you cast the Zman worms/stick baits? The material sucks all the energy out of a cast. I’m 65 and have been using them since they came out. I’ve fished most of my life, Really. How about some 2 pc rods?
TPHVICTIMS Good question. I use 7’ St. Croix Premier 2-piece Spinning Rods with Medium Power, Fast Action, 12 to 15 pound test Berkley Nano-Fil Braid in White (if you are not watching your line, you are missing bites) joined to 6’-12’ of 8 pound test mono or flouralcarbon via the FG Knot on Shimano Stradic CI4+ 1000 size. I use this setup for largemouth & smallmouth bass in US and Canada whether fishing from bassboat or shore. Only other rods used are telescopic rods that fit in my motorcycle saddlebag (same reels and line as above). Hope this helps you.
Do you guys use any more Z Man products? I just started using their “senko” because I wanted more durability and I just ordered a couple of their craws as well. Just wondering what you think of their baits in general.
I found some of those giant senkos in my mom's drawer when I was younger, the plastic on yours looks flimsy tho
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
I bet that ‘Senko’ was only available in one colour and one colour only
Thanks for the laugh 😂
LMAO!!!!
Words can not explain how amazing tactical bassin is to me. U and Tim explain things so so so well and in great detail that I'll learn new things on technics that I already know. Not one video is wasted on me. I never comment on anything on RUclips. But I had to say thanks and ur doin a great job. God bless u both and ur families. U guys deserve a lot.
Been fishing the AirdX rods for about a year. Nothing but great things to say about those rods. Much better than the price suggests!!!
Thanks Matt and team. I am a nembwe fisherman in Zambia. I use most of your tip and they do work perfectly. Basically nembwe and bass have identical behaviors and that’s what makes it easier to follow your tips.

Do you have a delta 803? Just ordered one but can't find reviews anywhere. Will be an inshore lighter weight rod
This channel is the most informative bass fishing channel I have ever seen, good work.
I would love to see a Dobyns Xtasy review from you guys!
this please
Matt: check out the 7’4 Moderate Savage Gear Browser Casting Rod
The double fiber tip is really unique.
The Zman finess micro jig is a go to bait year round. I use the hula stick trailer. It gets bit much better than the craw. Try it you like it!
Leader for me is all about Seaguar Tatsu!
Another very informative video. Thanks guys !

If you break a 60 dollar rod you won't cry as hard as you would when you break a 300 dollar rod? And you may be able to afford a spare rod?
pdbandit1 300 dollar rods usually have good warranty so you send it in and get it back like new
Thank you for the feature 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Happy spring fishing
Always looking for a good Chatterbait trailer thanks for all the great video's and insight.
Try the zenko by Gary yamamoto
I have the Daiwa Aird X 7'3 baitcaster. Caught a 18 lb hybrid musky. Tough rod worth the money.
Try the new Powell Endurance Casting Rods
I have one of those model diawa rods in a heavy I love it one of my favorites.👍🏽
I just got my first a Kistler rod yesterday, a 6’9” Magnesium 2. Love the feel of it, haven’t gotten out on the water yet, but so far it seems awesome. Kistler gets a ton of praise on websites like Bassresource and TackleTour.... have you guys ever though of trying them?
I'm about to purchase my 1st $400+ reel. The Shimano mentanium MGL.
Wayne Lagarde I look forward to that day for myself Wayne.
I cant wait to get it and go fishing with it.
A awesome reel. Great value if you order from japan. I’ve got 4, with one more on the way
@@livinglife3230 what site did u purchase it from Japan?
they are $279 from japan bud
You guys have the best videos on you tube. Im constantly checking for new ones. As much gear as you guys test do you have any giveaways? Someday I'll be able to afford one of them 400 dollar rod and reels. Lol
Thank you river to sea I missed that craw sooooo much!
Do a video on the new levante Leviathan
Copolymer..best of both worlds
Ben Hebert what copolymer line do you recommend?
@@Toe_Knee_69 I'm trying 2 or 3 different companies..so far I'm liking the Kastking Flurokote. It's thinner than any other, and tying knots is better. The Yo-Zuri Hybrid is not bad either.. a little thicker in diameter but not bad at all.
I have the aird x diawa casting rod and the apoxy in the end eye popped out within like the first three months
Awesome job Matt
Love when you do these
Can you guys try out an irod air? I’m curious about your thoughts on them I hear a lot of talk about them! Thanks guys keep it up
all i do is dip below $99 lol the struggle is real!
Georgia Bassmasters lmao same here. Or I buy used.
Georgia Bassmasters
No doubt-With all the great options nowadays, I won’t pay over $150+ each for rods and reels.

that trailer is sick
Have you ever used a skirted jig with a finesse worm trailer? Just started this with the strike king swinging swim jig so I can make the worm more weedless than having a weed guard. Hoping this will be productive this year.
Surprised there wasn't any Shimano or dobyns stuff shown.
He mentioned the Shimano Saharas spinning reel towards the end.......
Thank you
Great content man always enjoy it🤘🏼🇺🇸keep it up
Great video Matt!
Best way to wake up
I hope you see this, you should try the Ark Lancer series rods!
Hey you need to try Neko rigging some of those 8-14"worms it works surprisingly well, oh yeah me and my buddy are in an argument I say my 7'6 heavy that has an extremely soft tip is the most versatile he says his six six medium is the most versatile please comment your thoughts below

Have you tried the Daiwa Revros LT? I know it’s a low budget reel but it has an amazing light feel to it.
just bought one last weekend...silky smooth..put it on a Daiwa Aird X...low budget beauty
Bought my son the Daiwa Aird-X years ago and it's still holding up strong.
There’s high end, medium and budget.. then there’s my end.
Luckily, Academy had Daiwa Laguna Rods for $30. 😁
"Magnum baits they have just a very quiet following" Yes you should have added not after this video comes out when you said that Matt. Every time you guys talk about stuff on here Tackle Warehouse is sold out in no time. Thanks for all you do you are very appreciated.
I think I still have one yabi left from the original run. Caught some smallies fo sho.
Glad to see the standin yabbie is back. I had to scour eBay to find a pack. I love fishing shaky heads. My favorite head is the spring type spot remover. I’ve had a really hard time threading elaz-tech plastic on the spring. Do you have any tips to make it easier?
Collin Fox I’ve heard you can use a small screw to make a “pilot hole”.I know what you mean. I’ve got a crosseyez swim jig with a zman craw on the back that isn’t perfectly straight but it’s catching fish.
Thanks for the awesome video!!! I can’t find any good knots for braid to leader. What do you like to use?
Don't. Need. More. Stuff! Really want more stuff tho
That's it on the Standin Yabbie?
Has TacticalBassin tried Googan Baits yet???
Jonathan Nedelisky curious also. I just picked up the bandito bug to give it a try
Love it dude!
Is the Daiwa Aird Medium or Medium Heavy?

I don’t like the Edge rods mostly in cold weather
Have you ever used McCoy Mean Green copolymer line? I know it's not new but I just recently learned about it. Every review I've seen has been positive, just wanted your feedback. Thank you!
Also made in the USA...
How do you compare the Edge rods to the G. Loomis/Shimano Conquest Rods?
I wanna see the Expride also lol.
you guys should throw some gem blades. spinner bait with keitechs
could u guys do a review on the kingkast new perigee ll baitcasting and spinning rod? they are 250$ in Canada but 50$ in the states
Yall need to pack up yalls gear and hook up to the boat and come on down to Louisiana and come fish Toledo Bend
kyle tingey ole big Sam Rayburn would be better
How far does the Z man Baits cast ?
Any DISTANCE issues ?
Do yall have a review on the new edge efx pro bfs rod dsr 700-1c
Do you have any trouble screwing the zman fatty Z on the shaky head ? I’ve tried a couple zman worms on shaky heads and it hard to get that 10x plastic to thread on. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks guys lovin’ what you both do
How about trying out the Shimano SLX Rods
Review some favorite rods
Nice!
glad your starting to give opinions on some more budget minded gear now. what size hook are you throwing on those magnum worms on a texas rig.. 5/0?
BluegrassBass it's in the description...links and all

I thought Gary Loomis sold and he was designing for temple fork outfitters.
north fork composites
What knot you use to tie 30lb+ fluor/mono line on to your braid as a leader.
Would you recommend the Levante perfect pitch for 3/8-1/2oz jigs for skipping docks or is it to heavy of an action?
Do you guys have any experience with favorite rods?
Matt what do think about kistler rods?
Is there a video explaining the braid to leader I do the same since I learned it from y’all a channel but I’ve been using Fluoro
garrett johnson they use braid to mono or copolymer works much better than floro
I'll watch this after I get paid later today. lol Watching Ola now, Old Lady Angler. :-)
How do you cast the Zman worms/stick baits? The material sucks all the energy out of a cast.
I’m 65 and have been using them since they came out.
I’ve fished most of my life, Really.
How about some 2 pc rods?
TPHVICTIMS Good question. I use 7’ St. Croix Premier 2-piece Spinning Rods with Medium Power, Fast Action, 12 to 15 pound test Berkley Nano-Fil Braid in White (if you are not watching your line, you are missing bites) joined to 6’-12’ of 8 pound test mono or flouralcarbon via the FG Knot on Shimano Stradic CI4+ 1000 size. I use this setup for largemouth & smallmouth bass in US and Canada whether fishing from bassboat or shore. Only other rods used are telescopic rods that fit in my motorcycle saddlebag (same reels and line as above). Hope this helps you.
What do you think of kastking rods?
Shut my truck door on my three day old Dobyns fury swimbait rod!! It survived. No damage. Don’t try it though!!
Do you guys use any more Z Man products? I just started using their “senko” because I wanted more durability and I just ordered a couple of their craws as well. Just wondering what you think of their baits in general.
Bro they are fantastic, literally game changers over any other type of baits.
Smaller lineup than most companies but every bait they sell is a stud
