hey guys walking into walmart here and i'm heading in because i have a lot of guys reaching out to me
and saying i haven't been fishing in 2030 had a guy actually reach out i've been fishing in
40 years i'm not sure what to buy there's so much and it's a bit overwhelming so i'm going to walk
you through my recommendations for some rod some real combos some lures if you're just starting
out want to catch some bass it's not going to be the high-end stuff it's not going to be the
cheap crap either it's going to be right in the middle for that weekend warrior to get out there
and start catching some bass so let's hop in and hopefully not get caught by a walmart associate
all right guys here we are first let's talk about a rod and reel combo guys i'm gonna highly
recommend getting a spinning reel and rod combo around the 68 dollar to 78 dollar price point is
what you're going to be looking for i actually own a couple of these these are affinity speed sticks
it's going to be a medium power moderate action rod if you're not familiar with action or power
i got a video on that i'll put it down in the description below but this setup right here
is gonna be perfect for fishing for those those bass your senkos your drop shots this is gonna be
where it's at now i would recommend if you're beginning and starting out
stay away from these guys right here there's gonna be your baitcasters and it might be down
the road a bit might be a good option for you but if you're starting out i'd recommend starting out
with the spinning reel it'll be a lot easier for you because these things rat nest so
maybe down the line but at the beginning stay away from the bait casters all right next we're
going to talk about some line it's basically three times a line you're gonna have your mono
you're gonna have your braid and you're gonna have your fluorocarbon and i highly recommend
starting with eight pound fluorocarbon this stuff right here i use it from time to time
works well and it's gonna work really well with the lures i'm about to share with you right now
and holy crap now this is where i could be a bit overwhelming there are literally hundreds maybe
even thousands of lures to choose from and man alive some of these are expensive nine dollars
you know what i do with this one the first time i threw it out yeah get it stuck under the water
on a log guaranteed deep diver nine dollar lore i'm getting it lost all right the first rig i'm
going to set you up with is the wacky rig which involves a couple things you're going to need a
5-inch senko now i usually either buy one of two senkos it's going to be the gary young moto as
you can see those are six dollars or if you're in a budget you can come down here to the crem brand
dollar 25 and you get five of them and what i look through to try to find the green pumpkin now keep
in mind these are a lot cheaper because only five in here so technically it'd be 250 for 10 of these
and the gary young moto it's six dollars for 10 of those so 60 cents a worm
25 cents a worm as i highly recommend the gary yamamotos these things there's it must be their
salt content or something but the way they sink and the action the bass just love them so
they sink really well if you're fishing in like one foot of water two feet of water
these are not gonna fall as fast so sometimes i throw on these on if i want
the worm to be suspended in the first foot of the water but um these things are great
and you're going to hook them up because let's head over to the hooks and there's a ton of hooks
to choose from when it comes to hook i'm usually looking for a size one octopus hook by this brand
gamakatsu but if they don't have which they don't actually have these here um i'll look
over and try to find a size one here a drop shot hook this will work just great guys there's a lot
of hook options here i highly recommend don't cheap out on your hooks we spend thousands of
dollars on our reels our rods our boats our kayaks and to come over here and buy a cheap hook
man i bought cheap books before and i've paid the price because they bend out on big bass so
do yourself a favor spend the extra dollar too and buy nice quality hooks so if you're confused
by hook sizes i totally understand that there's sizes and then there's odds that did a video
on that and i'll put it in the description below alright now to hook up the wacky worm it's really
simple just take one of these hooks right here and tie it on to your eight pound fluorocarbon with a
palomar knot if you don't know how to tie that i have a quick video to learn now to throw that in
the description below and then you take this hook and run it and run it straight through the middle
of the worm now like most lures just because you tie it on and throw it out there doesn't mean
you're gonna catch a bass so i have a video on how to retrieve the wacky worm i just went on a trip
with a few buddies over four days and caught over 300 baths primarily using the wacky worm so it's
going to perform for you all right the next lure i have for you is the ned rig usually you find those
down here at the bottom and made by strike king they don't have them actually at this walmart
which isn't a big deal because i have a few of those at home so i'll show you what they look like
but the ned raid is going to allow you to fish the bottom of that water which is really nice
and also if you fish it correctly the middle water column as well so i'm going to share
with you a video and description below how to fish the ned rig and man with the wacky rig
and the ned rig you have the top middle and bottom water columns all figured out and you will slay
some bass all right guys now that you're back in the fishing aisle if you haven't been fishing
for a while you might as well get your fishing license i know it's only 25 here in ohio so you
don't want to be caught without one of those uh it goes to stock all those fish that you're
catching but let me know have you ever been caught without your fishing license and what happened
i'm actually really curious all right the next thing i'd recommend if you haven't been fishing
for a while is to get a pair of needle nose pliers now if you don't want them to rust getting
aluminum fishing pliers would be great here they sell some ozark trail i have a pair of booms that
i really like they're tethered which is really nice as well so you can hook them up to your bag
they're only 15 36 for those or you can buy a real cheap player carbon steel pliers for four
dollars then you'll be set and be able to get any hook that maybe a fish had swallowed really deep
that you can't reach with your fingers get them out with a pair of pliers all right a few last
recommendations for you is a bag these are going to be really cheap i like these plano 3600s only
22 dollars 3700 is only 25 a little bigger i got a couple more recommendations for you it's going to
be these guys over here guys highly recommend getting a scale being that you haven't fished
for a while probably catching your personal best and you're going to want to be able to
weigh that bad boy i love these little clips too because the other ones you just have a hook that
you hook under their gill and a lot of times they'll jump off and the last recommendation
is these guys right here get a clipper um you can also use scissors as well but these clippers
are nice for cutting line especially if you're using braid a lot of times this will get that
knot that's left over on a lure so highly recommend getting one of these guys as well
