Man, I love your channel! I discovered it a few days ago and I've been working through your back videos. It's refreshing to see someone that doesn't have the $40k bass boat and the $500 combos. Thanks for the video, I'm subscribed!
Love your videos and your passion for fishing bro, they are great for most of us who aren't loaded and love fishing, just a thought can you do a video on a cheap salt water combo some day, loved those pier fishing vids you did from the pier on the gulf. Keep up the good work. Tight lines Ken
Never get tired of watching, wish our Walmart carried more bass lures like they used to when I was a kid. Too much saltwater gear. But I'll run out of town to find some. Thank you for the awesome videos Alex!
Just came across your channel. Its awesome. I always said that you dont need expensive tackle to catch fish. There are so many channels telling you that you need different rods and reels for different baits. You proved them wrong. Here in South Africa everyone is looking for the cheaper stuff, as almost 100% of out tackle gets imported, and that makes tackle extremely expensive here. Keep it up.....no bull
Some really nice Bass on that nice little combo!!!! That drag would sound like a fire engine if you had a big fish running on it LOL Take care and tight lines!!!
Sup Alex. Found an oldie but goodie. I have $10 spinning combos (and my friends) that we bought 30 years ago when in high school, still we use them. Don't need to be rich to fish! Sure it may give you more opportunities to travel, but that's not realistic! Some nice bass, great video👍.
Subscribed, I like your channel because this is how I fish all the time no boat just walking the bank with inexpensive gear I even take my fly fishing rod with me and catch big pan fish, keep up the great work doing it on the cheap.
Those cheap combos are seriously underrated...I bought a shakespeare conquest from walmart probably 4 years ago for oh 15-20 bucks....and it has been one of the best rod and reel combos ive ever owned...from bein rained on, dropped in mud, sand you name it....shes still going as strong as the day i bought it, may have to invest in one of the 15 dollar lews..Awesome vid man! Subd
Awesome! I really like all your videos. I haven't had any luck with the baby brushhogs yet. I have used the tiny brush hogs on a 1/0 hook and had a little more success, they also do okay on a drop shot with short leader to the weight.
NIIIIICE,,, just so happened I was in Wal-Mart today,,, guess what I bought?... Some baby brush hogs,,, amongst a few other tackle items,,, so excited to go out and use them,,, thanks for sharing... 😎🤜🤛
Realistic Fishing fishing with a 6 and 9 year old is fun but it does make it difficult to try new stuff. I have some of those baby brush hogs. I'll give them a shot. Thanks for the video
Love love brush hogs, I use them a good 60% of the time especially at the ponds, bass can't get enough of them! Incase no one said anything don't pull anything apart on them. Tight lines brotha!
turtle answer....I had 3 crappie on a stringer at a farm pond..walked around the pond bass casting..when I got back and was ready to put another crappie on the stringer, I pulled up 3 heads on the stringer..snapping turtles enjoyed them...ha
I just found there is a right way to rig a bush hog...run the hog over you finger and if it's appendages open up that's the side that you rig on the up side...if the appendages stay closed when you roll over your finger you have it upside down.
I am liking the price point on your combo. That bell sound is strange to say the least. Zoom lures are fish catching machines. Great price for that pack. Keep it rolling brother keep it realistic.
MARK LANG I've always liked 5.5'-6' rods myself. I feel that I can cast more accurately with them, not to mention anything over 6' doesn't fit in a vehicle well. I think I MAY have a 6'6" somewhere, but I haven't used it in ages.
What size hook and bullet weight are you using. My 6 year old son and I are trying to get into fishing. We've caught plenty of bluegill but we want to step it up. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Great videos. Keep it real.
Realistic Fishing took my son out today using a Roboworm on a Texas rig for the first time and he caught his first bass. He's ecstatic. Thanks for your advice.
I just got that combo pretty recently. Though it was $25 when I got it, I was extremely impressed by the jump in quality compared to the other combos around that price range. The rod is lightweight, sensitive, and balanced pretty well. The tell feels very solid, and the drag is smooth. Even if it's a littl on the loud side. Great starter rod for a kid or a rod for traveling.
Went ahead and ordered that combo myself to have as a back up or extra. I like Lew' s and am gonna try to get the new Mach Crush combo that won I-Cast this year in October. Thanks for showing this deal though, never would have known had it not been for Alex and Realistic Fishing. P.S. check the Crush combo out I am getting it to use the few times I get down to Gulf Shores since its double shielded.
iv caught fish on the baby brush hog but im not super confident with it most times when i can use one i use a craw type bait instead. but thanks for making me wanna pick it up again!
What happened to your signature intro? Did you buy all the $1 lures? =) That's a great deal. They don't have a big selection, but they have the best clearance sales.
I got that same combo from Walmart a little over a year ago and the reel just now shit the bed lol cheap little thing ain’t to bad 👍🏻👊🏻🎣 keep it realistic 👊🏻🎣
did that cast and got my whacky rigged worm into the rocks..messed withit a tad..knew I had to walk to get it back..anyway.. next cast hooked good bass..5 or 6 lbs..got her close to shore and she made a run---line snapped..i'm sure the rocks messed up the 8lb test line..it was brand new / just put it on ..I mean just--right before getting to the hole..lesson learned by me..test line when that occurs..ha
YakPak Outdoors. I don't spend anything on rod & reel combo's (not since I got my neodymium magnet). I just visit my local fishing docks and usually pull more expensive combo's from the water. Plus all the needle nose pliers, scissors, pocket knives, multi-tools and hooks I ever need.
Nice man! Baby brush hogs are my go-to when the bite is tough here in central Virginia. Try out the moccasin blue color if you get a chance, I've been straight killin' em on it this year!
Rosalva Vazquez, nope. They are flavorful only if you leave the belly meat on the fillet, tastes like ..........mud. Sorry, if you want to eat this gamefish and want it flavorful, you have to add your own spices.

Hey Ken, I would if I knew more about saltwater fishing. I have only gone those few times when I was on vacation. I hope to try again though.
Jon Penvose I've been doing that with 1rod1reel first state fishing and Kendall gray,I've finished 1rod1reel so about to finish Kendall gray.
New combo is looking good Alex...That reels drag rings like a bell...Nicely done my friend...
Ding ding!
I love it when all the bass' fins protrude when you get them out of the water, looks awesome
👍
Never get tired of watching, wish our Walmart carried more bass lures like they used to when I was a kid. Too much saltwater gear. But I'll run out of town to find some. Thank you for the awesome videos Alex!
My walmart has a pretty good selection, I feel lucky.
Wish they'd bring it back, you are truly lucky!

Thanks Nico, no bull is right 👍
Wow 👏 😮 👏 😮 that baby brush hog was getting it done ✔ 👏
Great video. I like your every day man approach. Great idea to find bargain gear and go out and have fun catching! Great job dude!
Thats right. I try to make it accessible. 👍
Dude, the bicycle bell was killing me. LOL. Awesome video man thanks for sharing.
Some really nice Bass on that nice little combo!!!! That drag would sound like a fire engine if you had a big fish running on it LOL Take care and tight lines!!!
Thanks Rodney!

Thanks Randal, I think they are sold out at the $15 price by now. But, there is always something good on sale somewhere 👍
Awesome! I really like all your videos. I haven't had any luck with the baby brushhogs yet. I have used the tiny brush hogs on a 1/0 hook and had a little more success, they also do okay on a drop shot with short leader to the weight.
👍 Never seen a tiny brush hog. I will look next time I am in the aisle.
Iol...you're right, I stand corrected...as long as it catches fish then it is the right way...😊
😀
I love the baby brush Hogg! Another nice video!
Thanks!
I love the baby brush hog. On a hot sunny day just toss it into some shade and you'll catch some bass.
👍
Baby brush hog is my go to in tournaments, I like the green pumpkin purple.
For a buck! Where have these been all my life?
Realistic Fishing if you fish at night try the junebug red, they love them!
You flat killed it that day. Seems like those big one's like to lurk close to shore around there a lot.
Ya just never know. Shallow water is always a good place to try though 👍
Just subscribed and looks like I may need to buy some brush hawgs, nice video nice fish
Thanks!
Those and trick worms are my go-to soft baits.
Nice 👍
NIIIIICE,,, just so happened I was in Wal-Mart today,,, guess what I bought?... Some baby brush hogs,,, amongst a few other tackle items,,, so excited to go out and use them,,, thanks for sharing... 😎🤜🤛
Good luck!
Great job. You've got a good lake there, most times I go fishing I catch nothing. I've got two distractions with me though. 😜
Maybe if you could concentrate more ... 😂
Realistic Fishing fishing with a 6 and 9 year old is fun but it does make it difficult to try new stuff. I have some of those baby brush hogs. I'll give them a shot. Thanks for the video
Love love brush hogs, I use them a good 60% of the time especially at the ponds, bass can't get enough of them! Incase no one said anything don't pull anything apart on them. Tight lines brotha!
Other people said they do pull it apart. 🤔
Realistic Fishing that's very interesting, I've never pulled them apart or seen anyone do that. Wonder if we can get an answer from zoom!?!
Nice Video only thing about that rod was that bicycle bell when you caught something lol still keep it real my friend
ding ding
Woohooo, man, that 15$ combo sure paid it's worth but the actual 10$ orange combo is working out even better.
y i always enjoy watching your videos keep it up man
Thanks Octavio
I can say Mission Success on your goal. Keep fishing man.
👍
turtle answer....I had 3 crappie on a stringer at a farm pond..walked around the pond bass casting..when I got back and was ready to put another crappie on the stringer, I pulled up 3 heads on the stringer..snapping turtles enjoyed them...ha
That was a great challenge video bud! Nice work!
Thanks. It more than a challenge. Its a case study. 😂
Hey...if it catches fish, who cares how much it costs!!!
People who don't have a lot of money 😂
LOOOOOOJOOOOOO!! 😂
... and that's why I like playing in the grass. 👍
Subscribed because I like how you say "baby brush hog".
Baby brush hog!
I just found there is a right way to rig a bush hog...run the hog over you finger and if it's appendages open up that's the side that you rig on the up side...if the appendages stay closed when you roll over your finger you have it upside down.
Here is a secret... however it catches fish, is the "right way" 😉
I am liking the price point on your combo. That bell sound is strange to say the least. Zoom lures are fish catching machines. Great price for that pack. Keep it rolling brother keep it realistic.
Dig ding , fish on! That drag was so unique I almost miss the sound of it. 😀
Great video with a surprise ending.
Nice one!
Man the brush hog was money for me a couple months back, they wouldnt bite on anything else (SC) , nice vid :)
And I got these for a buck 😂
Nice fish!!!! I like the shorter rods what did you think of the shorter rod after using it?
It won't cast as far, but its better for tight spaces. 👍
MARK LANG I've always liked 5.5'-6' rods myself. I feel that I can cast more accurately with them, not to mention anything over 6' doesn't fit in a vehicle well. I think I MAY have a 6'6" somewhere, but I haven't used it in ages.
So that’s when u fell in love with the baby brush hog! Don’t blame u. That’s a good day. Especially for a $16 day (combo and bait).
What size hook and bullet weight are you using. My 6 year old son and I are trying to get into fishing. We've caught plenty of bluegill but we want to step it up. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Great videos. Keep it real.
The weight hook sizes change depending on conditions. A good start is 1/4 oz bullet weight and a 2/0 hook.
Realistic Fishing took my son out today using a Roboworm on a Texas rig for the first time and he caught his first bass. He's ecstatic. Thanks for your advice.
Never seen a $15 lews combo before.
If you watched this vid when it first came out, it would have been available at this price. Unfortunately its back to $25 now.
Bro I think you need a kayak !!! Love your videos keep up the good work .
No thanks. I need more time in general so I can take out the boats I already have 😀
that drag is something else haha
dingding
Tighten up the drag, Bud. Twisting the line.🎣
Strikeforce didn't sound like the bell on my sister bike. Lol
Ha ha, you rode your sisters bike.
Realistic Fishing just to the pawn shop. That's how I got my flying lures. 👍
I just got that combo pretty recently. Though it was $25 when I got it, I was extremely impressed by the jump in quality compared to the other combos around that price range. The rod is lightweight, sensitive, and balanced pretty well. The tell feels very solid, and the drag is smooth. Even if it's a littl on the loud side. Great starter rod for a kid or a rod for traveling.
Not bad at all. 👍
Just subbed to your channel I've been watching for a bit now you deff earned my subscription looking forward to see what else you have for us
Went ahead and ordered that combo myself to have as a back up or extra. I like Lew' s and am gonna try to get the new Mach Crush combo that won I-Cast this year in October. Thanks for showing this deal though, never would have known had it not been for Alex and Realistic Fishing. P.S. check the Crush combo out I am getting it to use the few times I get down to Gulf Shores since its double shielded.
It would make an excellent back up rod 👍
My thoughts exactly plus the two years you really can't lose on it. I mean it even has an aluminum spool unlike a lot in that price range.
Just got back from Walmart with some budget lures 👍🏼
One of my favorite places to get fishing stuff!
Brush hogs are a good low cost bait. But sometimes i cant get bit on them.
Sometimes I cant get a bite on anything 😂
I love braid but when u don't tie leader and have really heavey braid it's a pain to break it off
Thats what I like about it. I can drag in anything... or bend the hooks out.
Well done! What are the rules up there where you live? Do you get to keep the fish or do you need to let them go?
I think I could keep 15+ inch fish if I wanted to.
Any thoughts for videos on catch and cook?
Great video, nice last fish of the day.
Thanks! 👍
iv caught fish on the baby brush hog but im not super confident with it most times when i can use one i use a craw type bait instead. but thanks for making me wanna pick it up again!
Give it another try 👍
Just so you know its a lews fishing combo so no matter the price its going to be good
Thats what I am hoping 👊
bro this was on my list of videos to make lol. So don't be mad at me when I do one like this
Don't get mad when I rip you off bro 😂
lol well I promise I had the same idea before
Would Bass Pro Shop have that fire line I am a beginner with this bass fishing but I kind of like it
I am not sure, but they might.
Wow man, your channel is really starting to take off! I was here before 4,000 subs, and I wish I was here earlier haha
The beauty is you can still watch the old videos if you want 👍
At the lake I fish there's one turtle who kept chasing my torpedo 👌👌
Watch out turtle!
Look like a good day of fishing.
Not too bad 👍
Good job Alex!
Thanks Dewey Cash! 👍
That drag tho 😂
Dingding!
Great video! Keeping it real!
Always!
What happened to your signature intro? Did you buy all the $1 lures? =) That's a great deal. They don't have a big selection, but they have the best clearance sales.
The intro has changed. No I didn't buy them all. I have too many lures as it is.
That is it, I'm done watching.....LOL!! Just kidding, but that's what got me watching. I think it is a funny intro and my son likes the beat.
I still have it. Just moving on to something a little more cut and dry... 😂
nice bass you did well today good day
Thanks!
I got that same combo from Walmart a little over a year ago and the reel just now shit the bed lol cheap little thing ain’t to bad 👍🏻👊🏻🎣 keep it realistic 👊🏻🎣
A year for $15 - not bad. 👍
Realistic Fishing haha tell me about it 🤙🏻 love the channel man keep it goin 🤙🏻 you and kybassboy are about the only ones I watch 🎣🤘🏻
Dollar well spent i would say. Nice job
👍
Awesome videos!
Thanks!
since when does walmart carry a lews combo for 15 dollars
Since about a week before this video came out. Unfortunately they sold out at this price
You should do some catfishing
You didn't see my 50 pound catfish vid? 🤔
Realistic Fishing i meant more lol
did that cast and got my whacky rigged worm into the rocks..messed withit a tad..knew I had to walk to get it back..anyway.. next cast hooked good bass..5 or 6 lbs..got her close to shore and she made a run---line snapped..i'm sure the rocks messed up the 8lb test line..it was brand new / just put it on ..I mean just--right before getting to the hole..lesson learned by me..test line when that occurs..ha
I try to check the line often. Its always getting frayed on stuff in the water 👍
Nice 👍
Thanks B&G!
i think i need to fish the texas rig more often
👍
And that drag sounds hilarious. Exactly like you said, a doorbell. 😂
ringy dingy!
Good fishing
Thanks !
Man I’ve hooked every log and rock over there lol
Bury the hook back into the plastic 👍
Holy bike bell, Batman. Nice job hooking up some bass on the new setup.
Keep 'em coming!
🔔
Even though now it’s 25$ that’s not bad at all
wait, what bait were you using in the video? lol BABY BRUSH HOGG!
I spent 49 dollars on the 7 ft version of that combo..
How is it?
One of my favorite combos
should throw a drop shot rig
Is that so?
Hey I like your videos I brought one of those rods but I paid 2495 for mine I'm in South Carolina where do I get that fire line line from
I got this Fireline at Kmart
This is realistic fishing. I try to cast next to a log and AAAAAGGGhGgGH!!!!
😂
I just SUBSCRIBED TO YOU DUDE YOUR AWESOME
Thanks Eddie 👍
bass eat turtles
Wha wha what?
I need more cowbell.
Gotta have more cowbell
You got yourself another sub. I love that you are showing all of the casts, not just the ones that produce a fish. That's realistic.
Thats what I am going for! 👊
Is that a lews combo for only 15 dollars??
yeah, its from walmart.com
Glad to see the new combo treating you well! Great fish to end the day with too!
So far so good. Its gonna be interesting 🤔
I fished out a 200$ rod with my 45$ rod best catch I ever got xD
That don't happen all the time 😂
......FISH!!
🎣
I caught so many fish with that exact plastic
awesome video man! good video ideas lately, my channel slowed down after 1k maybe I should try some challenges
Its a jungle out there. I like a good realistic challenge 👍
I separate the appendages for just a little more action!
I thought about it... 🤔
Nice vid!
Thanks!
Nice fish!
👍
Just goes to show we as anglers don't necessarily need to spend an arm and a leg on gear. Great video my man!
You don't... thats called the hype machine. For beginners, its totally unnecessary.
YakPak Outdoors true there
YakPak Outdoors. I don't spend anything on rod & reel combo's (not since I got my neodymium magnet). I just visit my local fishing docks and usually pull more expensive combo's from the water. Plus all the needle nose pliers, scissors, pocket knives, multi-tools and hooks I ever need.
Larry Ciarrocchi something I may have to look into 🤔
Does it? It might be a great lake, easy place to catch fish.
I really enjoy your channel. I've been binge-watching all evening. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Nice man! Baby brush hogs are my go-to when the bite is tough here in central Virginia. Try out the moccasin blue color if you get a chance, I've been straight killin' em on it this year!
Is bass a good eating fish
Not in my opinion... but people eat it.
Rosalva Vazquez, nope. They are flavorful only if you leave the belly meat on the fillet, tastes like ..........mud. Sorry, if you want to eat this gamefish and want it flavorful, you have to add your own spices.
