THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!!
I pack out fly rod, reel and hike in my wifes pumps. With that said, my youngest son is hiking out with us this weekend and I'm going to go ahead and just buy a full setup for him, so the links are appreciated!
Haha!!! You must have some pretty tough feet. Good luck this weekend. Hope you guys get into plenty of trout. Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
"I know I talked a bunch of shit earlier" 😂 thanks for dropping your knowledge on us! Spring is here!!
It's the only knowledge I have! Haha
That's crazy ! The fishing rod who showed with the cast King 500 fishing reel and rod. You said weighs 11 oz.
My back country fishing setup. Rod reel tackle box small live bait container & a spool of extra leader line. With a bag to hold everything but my rod. In my tackle box I've got a rather comprehensive tackle box. ( 65 Mini grubs, about 30 very small shrimp or more , probably over 100 hooks small of course. About 25 sinkers, hooks for the shrimp, some rooster tails, couple of kaskings spoon type lures, & a micro plastic lure ) In about a 3 & 1/2 ft modified stringer.
ALL THAT ! .... Only way's only 11 OZ
As well my entire fishing system. I probably only got $80 in it max & IT GOOD QUALITY ! Tested it out.
Now granted it. It has took me some time to find quality. Gear to put this system together. Doing a lot of homework to find the lightest stuff. Been about 6-7 weeks doing it.
That's awesome man! Sounds like you got your kit all dialed in 😀
Just discovered your page last night and I'm really digging the content! Awesome tips and advice! Thank you!
Plenty more backcountry gear and adventure content to come 😃 Thanks for watching!
Yay! More backcountry adventures 🧡
Incoming ridiculousness!
THE MAN IS BACK! Planning first trip with friends to "hike" up to a lake this summer for fishing and camping, thanks for all the inspiration.
I'm back! Haha Good luck out there! I'm sure you'll be slaying trout
Keep rolling, mate! Awesome! Thank you!
You got it! Thanks for watchin!
I agree with all of this. I'll add that I'm really liking the Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite Graphite Spinning Pack Rod (6', Fast) It's a 3 piece rod that I pair with a 500 Shimano Sienna. I recently started drinking chai tea lattes and wearing my wife's shoes, and when I did I bought a budget fly fishing setup, the Echo Traverse 4wt which comes with a cool hard case. To my delight, the case holds both the fly rod w/ reel, and the spinning rod. It's light and I don't worry so much about my rod(s) getting banged up when lumbering through the brush.
I'm glad you agree. I woulda deleted the video if you didn't haha I shoulda figured you're into fly fishing 🤣😆 I wonder how long until we eventually run into eachother at some remote mountain lake. Seems like we frequent the same kinda spots!
He's back!
I'm back!!! More ridiculous adventures to come 🤣
Love the “Step Brothers” poster in the back! 😂🐾♥️
I want like 12 of them
There he is......good to see you again man!
I will ignore the flyrod comment.......now where did I put that tea.
Haha!!!
Nice to see you back
Thanks! Good to be back
Duuuuude your back! I really like the Okuma Celilo rod and the lower cost Okuma rods/reels are good quality for the price point from my experience.
I'm back! Lot of life stuff happened since last fall. Was just too busy to film and edit videos. I have heard good things about the Okuma Celilo for trout. There's so many combos to try out! All I need is to win the lotto and I can try em all 😆
best UL reel I've used so far for backpacking is the Piscifun Carbon X 1000. Absolutely legendary reel that is terrifically light, and reasonable at around $55. Spooled the whole thing with 6lb Seaguar Red Steelhead Fluoro (stupid good abrasion resistance), but I'll take out some fly fishing tippet to fine tune for different sizes of alpine fish.
Haven't tried UL fishing with braid but I'll have to go to my local pond soon to get some casting tests done. If I can cast significantly farther with the braid in all conditions (mainly wind), I'll be sold on it!
I'll have to check out that Fenwick Rod too! Thanks for the tips!
I hadn't heard of that reel. I checked it out. It's lightweight! Think I'll have to check it out. I'm personally sold on braided line for backcountry fishing because of It's versatility but I don't use it for every typed of fishing. Thanks for the comment and the tip 😁
@@CascadeBackcountry Great Channel! Keep it up! I just got a 5'6" HMX delivered yesterday, can't wait to try it out 👌
@@PowellPeraltaPartyhow is it ?
Did you buy before they sold out the link says not available for me
@@stendo3402 I absolutely love it. It has an unusual action taper, but it's kind of cool. it feels really snappy and faster action on the lower half of the rod, but looser and forgiving in the top 18 inches or so. It's the perfect balance between responsive and noodly for UL trout fishing.
I have been thinking about adding a couple of hmx rods to my arsenal . I love the Daiwa presso rods. I wish they came with a full grip. I have 3 okuma guide select pro rods and they are very light. The new vanford reels seem like the perfect reel. Unfortunately, they are $249. The 2024 2000 vanford is on a 1000 body. Seems like a winner.
I love my HMX rods and my Vanford reel. I actually just ordered a Daiwa travel rod a few weeks ago. Excited to try it out! That new Vanford sounds great
Yesterday i was seriously considering commenting on your last video. To see if all was good with you, since you haven't posted in a loooong time. Then you posted today. Glad everything is good on your end. Those are some sweet rod/reeI setups. My one rod and reel setup has been going for over 40 years. Been trying some new stuff on amascam, one setup didnt even last a fishing trip last year. The next one has potenial and the last one is a nice salmon setup, i hope... Its an ugly stick rod with a kastking reel. Went cheap on the reel since i dont do a lot of salmon fishing and can put a better one on later. I have all my gear ready for fishing and hunting and ready to go for the season.
Thanks. Life has just been crazy and I'm not a big youtuber. This is mostly just a hobby for me. You can find some nice fishing gear on Amazon and really anything that works, well... works! Yeah fishing and hunting season is basically upon us! Lots of adventure to be had. Good luck out there!
I like the telescoping rods
Og course you do 😆🤣
@@CascadeBackcountry of course
You know you love chai tea lattes!
Not gonna lie... they are pretty good! 😆
I have a travel rod that breaks down to 3 pieces but there's a total of 4 pieces because it has 2 rod tips ml/l & l/ul. I love it and it works great, and I use a 1000 with 5lb Power Pro & 4lb flouro leader
What kind of rod is it? I'd like to test one out eventually
Sweet adventure room! You should do a Spider-Man rod and reel challenge 🎣
Thanks! That idea has actually been discussed haha
I second this!
It's coming. And Coleman will be victorious with his Princess rod!
@@colemanjohnson5903 I'm going undefeated!
There are many high quality Japanese multi piece rods designed for this purpose. I have many and all are very reliable. They range from affordable below 100$ to very high end. I have 4-5 piece rods for camping all the time and never had issues with them breaking. Also some rods even come with very compact semi rigid cases that are light weight as well.
My favorite budget one is the abu Garcia zoom safari range. Good all around for multi species.
Forgot to mention even these budget Japanese rods are actually really good quality and fit and finish. Comparable to any mid tier rods here. For sure better than 95% of the multi piece rods here in the same price range.
I'd really like to get a travel/multi piece rod to try out. Just never pulled the trigger on one. Where do you purchase the Japanese ones and do you have specific recommendations?
We missed you buddy!
I'm back! More ridiculous adventures incoming
I see a new fishing pole in my future 😁
You go ahead and click in that link down there and get yourself one! Also... you could just borrow one of mine haha
So you tie on your spinner to 6lb braid without a leader or barrel?
No leader. No plain barrel swivel. The braid is tied to a barrel snap swivel though!
I thought braid is the least abrasion resistant line?
Well the answer to your question is... it depends 😆🤣 A lot of variables to consider there but when it comes down to it, my experience is that braided line works best in the backcountry. Just use whatever you want though!
My family always uses ugly stick poles. Am I missing something. I mean we never have any problems with them.
Nope.. you aint missing nothing. Whatever works... works! This is just my (some dude on the internet) opinion. What the hell do I know haha
@@CascadeBackcountry great answer! I love it! Lol
Haha!
Number 1, you do have to spend 80 billion dollars. Stella 1k for every rod or bust
Oh yeah, my bad... you won't even see a fish jump, let alone catch one, if you don't have at least a $1,000 fishing pole!!!
Go big with a G Loomis escape travel rod. $$$$ but you will never need another rod 😊
Yeah I've hear good things! That settles it... I gotta try one out
@@CascadeBackcountry pair escape rod with the Vanford 1000 🤩
3:52 - *F a t a l i t y*
Haha!
Yes You DO...
Have BIG HANDS😂
I'm basically the Hulk! 😆😆
"slaying trout"
I mean.... "slaying" is subjective right 🤣
