You’re channel caused me to pick up fishing in the last few years. Never was really into it as a young guy. But now as a new father to 2 young boys, I can’t thank you enough. It’s going to be a great hobby for us to enjoy together.
Welcome to the hobby :D Coming back to it after a long time. Health kept me from doing all the stuff I used to when younger, but now I've moved and there's a lot of good fishing practically on my doorstep. Seemed only natural to return to it :) Hope the kids take to it like fish to water :D
I recently got back into fishing myself because my 7yr old son is interested in it. I just bought him his first spincast combo rod and reel @TylerReelsFishing
@@TylersReelFishing in this video you recommend using 15lb Fluorocarbon as a good all round on a baitcaster. Would you recommend using braid to a 15lb leader, or are you suggesting spooling your reel with all fluoro?
TYLER! *in my texan country voice* you’ve done it again, thank you for breaking it down for us & sharing your knowledge. I always recommend your channel to anyone who is new to bass fishing for this exact reason! May God continue to bless you and your family, always. P.S. congratulations to you and your beautiful wife on y’all’s pregnancy. I hope y’all are enjoying every moment, the little kicks and movements are truly magical and such a blessing.
When it comes to line lb tests, you also have to remember that your rod flexes and bends. That takes a lot of shock out of the line so a 10lb line can easily handle a 20lb fish. Also, the more line you have out, the more weight the system can handle. Also, a 10lb fish that’s trying to get away, weighs a lot more than 10lb…which is where the reel drag comes into play. Also, a 10lb fish doesn’t weigh 10lbs in the water. You can catch a 50lb fish on 8lb test if you take your time and wear it out. Where the line strength matters most is when you get the fish to the boat. If you try to lift a 20lb fish on 10lb line, as soon as it is out of the water, the full weight comes onto your line, the rod is at maximum bend, so it’s not providing any shock protection and the line is at its shortest, so something has gotta give. It’s either gonna be your line or your knots. So get a landing net :)
I just started fishing seriously a few months ago and I’ve only been bass fishing about a month and I kept hearing about “bass are curious so throw different lures they’re stupid and will just try to grab it” and I didn’t realize how true that was till I fished a private pond and you could genuinely just tell by the way the responded to it that they had never seen anything like my crank bait, not only was it amazing to see the fish follow my lure all the way up to the shallow and be able to see them actually eat it but it also just gave me a chance to observe the bass behavior up close to what my lure would do
Can’t even begin to tell you how much your channel has helped me learn abt fishing we all appreciate the amount of work you put into ur videos thank you
Dude I'm glad I found your channel. You are one of the most well spoken and knowledgeable people I have seen in this space. Damn good content that I can see going the distance. Thank you for all the information you share bro! Keep up the great work.
I have just gotten into bass fishing this year, and your videos have helped me land my first topwater fish ever and so much more. Thanks for putting so much information out there for us. Fish On!
I live in the state of FL. Absolutely the Best state in the country for all-round fishing salt/fresh so there's no need for me to travel the country + no competitions here,, it's all good fun. I fish with a cheap Lews reel rod combo from Walmart. I can walk a few of the neighbors backyards in my neighborhood and catch huge peacock/ largemouth bass all day/night with a $30 reel rod combo. I came out of the womb with a Lews fishing pole in one hand + cheap Walmart resin line in the other but I did watch the entire video.
Awesome video! Tons of info and as a beginner who has only ever fished spinning reals with mono line this has me taking the leap into Baitcasters and other types of lines.
Caught My first bass on vacation after going out a few days for quick 1 hour sessions caught. 3 pounder on the last day. Loved watching your videos even before that
Picked bass fishing back up few months ago when kids decided it sounds like fun. IT IS! My daughter got a taste of spinning reel and bass hits so now we need 2 new setups! My gear is at least 25 years old and not holding up great so I've been researching all these new reels and lines 😁
Thanks for referring me to this video from a previous comment and glad you put this together. Keep up the great work, again you are proving to be my go to fishing instructor
Excellent work Tyler,this is a subject that isn't discussed a lot. Personally,I've fished my whole life and have always used a premium mono but I've really wanted to step up my game and been trying to use braid to flouro but I've been struggling with my knots pulling out, until Tyler Burger showed me the double pitzen lol
Tyler, thank you so very much for all your help. This video was beyond informative. It is my go to whenever I am confused on what to use. Keep up the good work.
I want someone to make a video about 1 pole, 1 line, do it all fishing set up. Doesn't matter if I wanna throw a crank bait on or a plastic. Show me the best all around fishing setup.
I fish rivers and creeks mainly with low current but sometimes heavy cover , so I always use at least 20lb braid, unless there's rocks then I use fluoro
My friend caught a 36lb blue cat on a 12 or 14lb mono, on a 7" Md H Ugly Stick, when I asked he said he couldn't remember which lb test it was, but that is still pretty good.
I wish this video came out last week :D I'm a total newbie and my baitcaster just came monday. Went down to the local tackle shop, got some trilene for the base of the spool, and then braid and fluorocarbon for main/leader. For lures I got worms in neutral, black and white silhouettes, and a couple of bright types, some crayfish and a popper. Based on that I asked the guy at the store what pound test. He said 10 would be fine. I get home, start practice casting in the yard and my line keeps snapping and launching my frog. (I did the tension setup, etc. so the lure drops to the ground when the switch is released). My knots are lasting. But the lines (both the braid and the fluoro snapped) casting the froggy. I lightly sanded the guides to remove any burrs. It's been a LONG time since I fished, and I grew up flycasting, so I don't think I'm snapping the line too hard on cast. At least I can time my thumb pressure so I don't backlash :)
And even though that frog has practically no weight, a bit of googling said to run it on 30 lb test. Doh. So I guess I gotta go get some stronger line.
@@TylersReelFishingWait so what should you use for Texas rigs. I've been using just pure floro since it sinks but is that right for all lures that sink?
I just had a big fish break my fishing line. Up here in Ohio I don't hook many big. Fish. I've had PTSD ever sense😂😭 I just realized thst i have 161 comments on your channel. 😂 Needless to say youve had the most influence in my fishing journey THANK YOU!
I LITERALLY just bought my first braided line yesterday! Used a flouro leader and I am liking it so much! I wish I waited a little longer to watch this first before hand, probably would of saved me a bunch of time researching lines on Google while in the store! I was a little confused on what line you throw like spinnerbaits and crankbaits on. Mono or Flouro? Great video Tyler once again!
Great video Tyler! Your friendly airport Chik-fil-A stranger checking in here! I'm a big BFS guy, but still love my spinning setups. Another thing, isn't the line rating another way to protect your rod? i.e. use light lines so that in worst scenario, your line would break before the rod snaps? Thanks brother in Christ!
I just recently started targeting bass at my local lakes. I’m using my trout UL setups so I’m fishing 6-8lb line. It’s been a lot of fun because the 2-3lb fish give me more of a fight haha.
I use seaguar basix as my liter line and powerpro 30lb braid for my main line. I do want to spool one of my combos with straight flouro so this is gonna be a awesome video 💪🏼💪🏼
My mono line is usually 2lbs or 4lbs for my ultralight setups when I'm going for panfish with the kids. The lines I've used my entire life were all less than 10lbs. My grandpa taught me that I could bring whatever fish in that I caught with that line. The largest difference would be how much I could force the fish around. If I had very strong line, I could yank the fish out of whatever junk it's in. With less strong line I need to tire the larger fish before bringing them in. That's what you're talking about with line weight, right
@@TylersReelFishing yup. And today was proof of that. I was fishing on a lake at my in-laws. I've only ever fished a river. I'm not used to all that vegetation. My #00 mepps thunderbug (that I just took out of the package, the first cast) was ripped off the 4lb mono line by something really big. Way bigger than the hand sized bluegill. I switched to the larger setup that I had with me and a pad crasher. That got taken and ripped a hole in the front of the frog. I switched to the pad crasher Jr and caught probably the biggest bass I've ever had, by a lot. I tried to keep my tip up and not let it run, but after a few seconds the line snapped. That one has 12lb mono. Since I'll be fishing there again, I'll have to get more/new gear appropriate for the area I'll be fishing. I'm very appreciative that you include gear in your description.
You are absolutely right. Couple years ago i decided to step it up a little and started tying fluorocarbon leaders and i was landing waaay more fish. Got lazy when the leader would snap amd didnt catch as much as before. It is worth it, im definitely ising. Fluorocarbon in my clear pressured waters in newyork westchester county.
Good info! spinning reel only throwing 1/8 finesse in heavily pressured creeks that are 14-24 feet deep? Targeting 16-28 inch fish 2- 10 lbs 15 pound just gets bird nested all day long , i’m thinking 6 lb ?
Wow, what an awesome breakdown with fishing line and how to use the braided line with resin leads. Thank you. How long are your resin leads on braid? Thanks.
I use Yo Zuri Hybrid, Big Game, and an assortment of bright colored braid lines. I think it's easier to find quality braid line than mono, copolymer, or flouro.
Question for you: I just picked up an Abu Garcia DLC 50 baitcaster and an Ugly Stik Med/Heavy 15-25lbs. I primarily do saltwater fishing, but want something I can use occasionally in freshwater. What type of line AND how many lbs. test would you recommend for this set-up? Thanks! In the ocean, I'm typically catching rockfish, CA Halibut and an occasional barracuda.
Hey Tyler. One question. For someone like me that loves to fish. But doesn’t do it enough to have 2-12 rods with me every time I go on the water. That doesn’t have the money or time to go out and get a boat to fish off of and get to the best places in the water. What is the best money friendly rod and reel and line combo that can still help elevate my game. But not break my budget and make me feel like I overpaid for something that I don’t do enough?
I remember your weighted vs weightless video so i threw a weightless seiko. I was on a spinning reel and there was not enough tension. And it was all loose. Also didn’t fall fast at all. Was it because i was using floating mono?
You probably already know this but my dad taught me a long time ago when tightening up a knot is to lick the line if it’s dry to help with friction and a tighter knot
Is there not a middle ground where braided line with a floro leader would work? Seems like you would get the casting distance and durability with braid, with the obfuscation of floro.
Hey Tyler I have a shimano caius 2024 with the Diawa legalis 6’4 medium heavy and i just got a really bad backlash and i need to change the line so what do you think. I also have my brakes on 4
Do you think throwing straight fluro on a baitcaster is “harder” than throwing braid? Meaning more backlashes, more memory problems in the line and what not?
I've got a couple of questions. Can you successfully fish jigs like football jigs and casting jigs on mono? And are there certain rod guides more braid friendly than others?
Hopefully you will answer me ... I have an old fishing rod and reel , with recommendation for rod 15 lb line monofilament and max 1/3 - 1 oz lure , reel 0.40 mm filament .... Can i use on it 25 lb braided line ? .... I have a lot of big fish in the area i am fishing can i upgrade to braided 25 lb ?
You think it’s okay that on my Texas rig rod (a 7 ft medium heavy fast action bait caster) I use 20 lb mono backing, 25 lb braid and a 12 lb fluoro leader 👀?
just got a baitcaster and spooled it, went out to fish with it learning how to cast and take out backlash, after around an hour my reel and rod handle started getting wet from reeling in, is this normal
i have a spinning rod that’s 7’ M X fast, line is 8-17 and lure is 3/8-3/4. i want to use the 6lb mono backing but what should be the main and/or leader line? another question what lures and techniques should i use with this rod as well??? really needing some help on this
I’m 13 and need some advice please. I have a shimano slx dc,I can cast it great and have the breaks on 1. Have been using 10 lb mono but just put on and used 15 lb braid for the first time and it still casts great but i am worried the fish can see the line because it is blue. Do you think it will matter

Dude you can’t say bad words in the comments he’s a Christian
Dynamic force on a line can exceed the static force by more than twice. A 2 lb fish can exert up to 6 lbs force on a line by just jumping
Great point!
i used 6lbs braid with 7 lbs fluro leader on my spinning setup and 10 lbs braid with 10 lbs fluro leader on my baitcaster

Flouro for everything besides flipping, topwater, and dirty water jigs/Texas rigs. Easiest way to give a good blanket answer
@@TylersReelFishingWait so what should you use for Texas rigs. I've been using just pure floro since it sinks but is that right for all lures that sink?

Helpful video man I recently start fishing so this video helped me a lot

Good stuff 👍🏻
What baitcaster rod combo would you recommend for smaller lakes and ponds for bass fishing? I’d love to see a video about the ones you use.
jGood Vid Tyler. I normally use Flourocarbon and sometimes Mono. I've yet to use braided line.
My mono line is usually 2lbs or 4lbs for my ultralight setups when I'm going for panfish with the kids.
The lines I've used my entire life were all less than 10lbs. My grandpa taught me that I could bring whatever fish in that I caught with that line. The largest difference would be how much I could force the fish around. If I had very strong line, I could yank the fish out of whatever junk it's in. With less strong line I need to tire the larger fish before bringing them in.
That's what you're talking about with line weight, right
Yes. If you’re throwing 10lb line around heavy vegetation, you’re gonna have trouble. Lots of situations where it benefits you to upsize
@@TylersReelFishing yup. And today was proof of that. I was fishing on a lake at my in-laws. I've only ever fished a river. I'm not used to all that vegetation. My #00 mepps thunderbug (that I just took out of the package, the first cast) was ripped off the 4lb mono line by something really big. Way bigger than the hand sized bluegill.

Since I'll be fishing there again, I'll have to get more/new gear appropriate for the area I'll be fishing. I'm very appreciative that you include gear in your description.
You are absolutely right. Couple years ago i decided to step it up a little and started tying fluorocarbon leaders and i was landing waaay more fish. Got lazy when the leader would snap amd didnt catch as much as before. It is worth it, im definitely ising. Fluorocarbon in my clear pressured waters in newyork westchester county.
Good info!
spinning reel only throwing 1/8 finesse in heavily pressured creeks that are 14-24 feet deep?
Targeting 16-28 inch fish 2- 10 lbs
15 pound just gets bird nested all day long , i’m thinking 6 lb ?
15lb braid on a spinning pole birds nests?
Wow, what an awesome breakdown with fishing line and how to use the braided line with resin leads. Thank you.
How long are your resin leads on braid? Thanks.
I use Yo Zuri Hybrid, Big Game, and an assortment of bright colored braid lines. I think it's easier to find quality braid line than mono, copolymer, or flouro.
Yes harder to screw braid up for sure
Well done.

Hey Tyler. One question. For someone like me that loves to fish. But doesn’t do it enough to have 2-12 rods with me every time I go on the water.

Great video!! 🎉🎉🎉
well done...great breakdown of line and how it relates to the multiple genres of fishing.
Just got the Mach Crush Baitcaster, thinking about putting 17 lb seaguar invizx fluoro. Can’t decide.
If you fish around quite a bit of snaggy stuff, that would be smart!
What if I have a 10-20lb line recommended rod but I use 15 lb braided line?
I remember your weighted vs weightless video so i threw a weightless seiko. I was on a spinning reel and there was not enough tension. And it was all loose. Also didn’t fall fast at all. Was it because i was using floating mono?
You probably already know this but my dad taught me a long time ago when tightening up a knot is to lick the line if it’s dry to help with friction and a tighter knot
👍🏼
if my rod is rated for 20-30 line, can i use a 40 lb leader line without worrying about it
Great information thank you
Very welcome!
Good one Tyler
Do you use a fluorocarbon leader on your bait casters too?
Is there not a middle ground where braided line with a floro leader would work? Seems like you would get the casting distance and durability with braid, with the obfuscation of floro.
Yes, absolutely. I just don’t trust that leader knot enough for big braid to big fluoro
Hey Tyler I have a shimano caius 2024 with the Diawa legalis 6’4 medium heavy and i just got a really bad backlash and i need to change the line so what do you think. I also have my brakes on 4
Do you think throwing straight fluro on a baitcaster is “harder” than throwing braid? Meaning more backlashes, more memory problems in the line and what not?
More memory for sure, but not less backlashes
You forgot to mention Bank, what should I use when I only do bank fishing.
15lb fluoro
thanks bro
Good job!!
I've got a couple of questions. Can you successfully fish jigs like football jigs and casting jigs on mono? And are there certain rod guides more braid friendly than others?
You can fish anything on any type of line. Some are just better than others
Hopefully you will answer me ... I have an old fishing rod and reel , with recommendation for rod 15 lb line monofilament and max 1/3 - 1 oz lure , reel 0.40 mm filament .... Can i use on it 25 lb braided line ? .... I have a lot of big fish in the area i am fishing can i upgrade to braided 25 lb ?
Great video Ty
Glad you enjoyed it!
😂 “if your fish are dumb” had me dead 😂😂😂
Cause some are 😂
Thanks you ❤
You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
“You can do a lot with a little” remember that boys
Lol
Do your brakes or anything on your reel have to be tightened down or loose when spooling braid to your bait cast reel?
Brakes, no. Drag, yes
You think it’s okay that on my Texas rig rod (a 7 ft medium heavy fast action bait caster) I use 20 lb mono backing, 25 lb braid and a 12 lb fluoro leader 👀?
I’d use 6lb mono for your backing, but yes that works. As long as you are tying the FG as your connection knot from braid to flouro
And once again, you help me get a little closer to getting better.. lol.. great video..
Glad to hear it!
I like to use Daiwa Flurocarbon Hidden Concept.
My pros here What's the best brand and braided for spinning rods?
Seaguar smackdown. I have it linked below
@@TylersReelFishing appreciate you champ
just got a baitcaster and spooled it, went out to fish with it learning how to cast and take out backlash, after around an hour my reel and rod handle started getting wet from reeling in, is this normal
i have a spinning rod that’s 7’ M X fast, line is 8-17 and lure is 3/8-3/4. i want to use the 6lb mono backing but what should be the main and/or leader line? another question what lures and techniques should i use with this rod as well??? really needing some help on this
any help is appreciated
I’m 13 and need some advice please. I have a shimano slx dc,I can cast it great and have the breaks on 1. Have been using 10 lb mono but just put on and used 15 lb braid for the first time and it still casts great but i am worried the fish can see the line because it is blue. Do you think it will matter
No, won’t matter that much
@@TylersReelFishing Thank you
What’s the best all around bait caster to use?
What’s your budget?

How do you feel about frogs and spinning rods tho?
