Been subscribed for a couple of months now. Really appreciate the down to earth style. Good stuff. Especially like your comments on the type of water or structure you are looking for. Thanks
My niece and nephew live with us now. When they saw your comment about using my comment in the video, they said "Uncle Tony, you know somebody famous". Gotta love kids.
Awesome tackle rundown thanks for all the info. I have looked for those bigger floats in several stores around here and could only find them built into a popping cork premade rig.
I hardly ever fish cats....but I like watching a fisherman that has his own methods and fish down pat. Any old fisherman can see you have put your work in.
Setting up a new to me boat right now. The flat bottom jon wasn't cooperating with my old bones. Been doing some crappie fishing also. That's a ton of fun when you find them.
Thanks for the all the fishing information on the equipment great video as always and that was a hell of a catfish thank you be safe on the water tell Landon we said hey
Great video as always... You have become my favorite... Also thanks for the recommendation awhile back on the Garmin Echomap UHD 93sv. I got it in over the weekend and my neighbor is installing it while he is servicing my boat. Looking forward to getting started this season.
Agree with the TWC rods, I love em, again the reel seat sold me first the rest of the rod is a bounus. all are 7.5 foot sweet spot. Im partial the the mono as the braid can cut the heck out of catfish. No good when you want to release.
Man I love watching your videos. Really do. Side note-I'm always impressed at how you land them without getting tangled up in the other 5 lines off the back lol. That's something I haven't quite mastered yet. But to be fair my local river is super skinny compared to the Ohio.
Good information, now I know what float to use in the shallow river with debris on the bottom that I fish about 3hr drive straight north from the ohio.
Great job Hagen, I run some of the TWCs myself, great rods, I’d like to check those 8/0s out, I use the 9s and a different hook that’s about the size of those 8s, Landon is an awesome video man, thanks for sharing!!!
Haven’t had a chance to test the Browning Six Rivers reel yet? Love the 8 I have. Great video as usual and I’m thinking Landon is not too many moons from landing the State Record!! (Trooper Joe)
Sorry for the late response, here is a link of where I get it. I get the biggest size available for the catfish rods. Thank you for watching.

@@hagengrubbsfishing thanks Hagen, so I'm hanging in there with the best. I use the no knot snell on hooks, improved clinch on my leader to swivel and polymar from main to swivel. Gives me some confidence knowing what you do. Thanks man!!
Could you tell me more about the shrink wrap you use on rod handles? I searched Amazon and could not find anything that looks like it would work. Help ???

Most of the rods I have are old and the cork was in bad shape. I just like the look and feel and it is a very cheap and easy way to make a rod look new again. Thank you for watching
Haden I know current dictates how much weight but if you had to pick 3 weight sizes and that was all you could fish for an entire season anchored drifted and dragon what would they be
Humminbird, garmin and lowrance all make great products. I’m really starting to like the garmin units but they all have there ups and downs. The garmin uhd93sv is a step above mine and that’s what I would buy if I was in the market right now. Thanks for watching
If I’m in 1mph+ current I rarely ever use a float. Instead I use a 3 way rig to suspend the bait and I always have a couple directly on the bottom. If the current is to slow to make the 3-way work properly I add a small float. Thanks for watching.
I watch you a lot . I love to fish but I don’t know much about poles . I’m wanting a good set up to be able to catch a 50lb fish. Any suggestions on bass pro rods and reels.?
For a budget setup I would go with a ugly stick catfish rod and a catmaxx reel. I believe the combo would be around 120$ Bass pro also has the st. Croix mojo cat rods, they are a very high end sensitive rod but are very expensive, you could pair that rod up with a Abu6500 and it would be an amazing setup but would be around 300$ Thank you for watching
Great video was wondering what reels you used. I have kastking rovers in 40 and a 70 the 70 holds a bunch of 30 lbs mono. I gotta get some of them blue fishin sticks you got I like'em
Will regular floats work to float up big pieces of skipjack and i enjoy all your videos and i appreciate you for accepting my friend request on Facebook can't wait to see your next video
Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.
Been subscribed for a couple of months now. Really appreciate the down to earth style. Good stuff. Especially like your comments on the type of water or structure you are looking for. Thanks
I feel the same way about Braid vs Mono. I like each for their own reasons. Happy Fishing Hagen!
I want to see Hagen and Landon Grubbs Tshirts
Hopefully soon, thanks for watching
I found you not too long ago. Pretty busy catching up. 👍👍 Keep it up! 🙏👊

That was your comment that I used in the video👍thanks for the support
My niece and nephew live with us now. When they saw your comment about using my comment in the video, they said "Uncle Tony, you know somebody famous". Gotta love kids.
The monster rods are great for night fishing with black light. The green really lights up.
Love any father son fishing video . Reminds me of me and my dad .

Thank You for the info and links
Man those Striper Special reels are nice!!!!! I’ll have to try that shrink wrap on a few of my rods. Great idea!!!!
Awesome video as always
Very well done! The information and opinions are real! Thank you!
Agree with the TWC rods, I love em, again the reel seat sold me first the rest of the rod is a bounus. all are 7.5 foot sweet spot. Im partial the the mono as the braid can cut the heck out of catfish. No good when you want to release.
Thanks alot haden
The intro of your boy almost shooting you out of the boat made me LMAO.
Great information, thanks Hagen
Man I love watching your videos. Really do. Side note-I'm always impressed at how you land them without getting tangled up in the other 5 lines off the back lol. That's something I haven't quite mastered yet. But to be fair my local river is super skinny compared to the Ohio.
It definitely happens from time to time lol. The video I have called blue cat disaster was a example of that. Thanks for watching
Yes,yes, yes. T SHIRTS.
Good information, now I know what float to use in the shallow river with debris on the bottom that I fish about 3hr drive straight north from the ohio.

Good stuff buddy! I'm a TK fan myself. I haven't tried the 8/0 yet. I wasn't even thinking. I saw they had 9/0 in stock and loaded up 😆
Great video Hagen
Good info .Good video .Thanks
Just got 2 of those exact rods....havent even used em yet
Haven’t had a chance to test the Browning Six Rivers reel yet? Love the 8 I have. Great video as usual and I’m thinking Landon is not too many moons from landing the State Record!! (Trooper Joe)
I haven’t caught a fish on it yet but I like it so far. I might pick up a couple more. Thanks for watching
Enjoy your videos.
Good job!

When you go out catfishing how do you decide if you are going to anchor, drift suspend, drag or bump.
Great video 👍🇺🇸
Awesome video! Are you ever going to take me fishing? You know you are supposed to be nice to your elders. LOL.... God Bless you and yours....
Another good one Hagan. What knots do you use primarily?
I use a snell knot on my hooks, a improved clinch on monofilament line and polymer on braided line. Thank you for watching.

I would like to know the reason you like to cover the cork handles? Huge fan of your channel, keep up the great work!
Most of the rods I have are old and the cork was in bad shape. I just like the look and feel and it is a very cheap and easy way to make a rod look new again. Thank you for watching
Can you send a link of the he first rod and reel that you posted first. Thanks
I put links to everything in the description below the video. Thanks for watching
Haden I know current dictates how much weight but if you had to pick 3 weight sizes and that was all you could fish for an entire season anchored drifted and dragon what would they be
3-5-8oz is what I use most of. That would be my choice. Thank you for watching
10 or 12 ???? That's a 28/0 man size hook hahaa , actually I never go above an 8/0 lol
😂
Darn fish always enturupting your videos. Gonna have to eat a couple to show them who the boss is.
Are you coming to lewis county ky.
Shimano 4 life 👍🏾🎣😀
If I could afford it I would have tekota’s on every rod. Thanks for watching
Yeah buddy shimanos are expensive but you get what you pay for 💪🏾🎣😎
I use the Corvalas reel and love it I’m buying 3 more but at big people Christmas if you know what I mean 😀👍🏾
SWEET
Great job! Where ya fishing what area
what hook have u started using since tacklingkats website closed down??
When are you gonna come to Santee
That is definitely a bucket list trip for me. Hopefully soon. Thanks for watching
You should have a cold weather invitation to one of your viewers and fish for dinner lol
where do you get the large float like on tour fish gripper?
I'm wanting to get a fish finder for my boat, any recommendations?

Does the abu striper have a bait clicker
Have u seen the piscifun chaos 60's for 60 bucks? They're blue and black and would like nice on your rods as a combo
Yes I plan on trying a few in the near future. I’ve heard they are good for the price. Thank you for watching
If you're anchor fishing, do you always use a float, or is there certain times you let your bait sit on the bottom?
If I’m in 1mph+ current I rarely ever use a float. Instead I use a 3 way rig to suspend the bait and I always have a couple directly on the bottom. If the current is to slow to make the 3-way work properly I add a small float. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the info Hagen, Great videos!
How often do you do reel maintenance?
I never have lol thanks for watching
@@hagengrubbsfishing well damn, I definitely need a couple cat maxxes then lol
