I recently bought this combo to play with then give away to a kid I'm bound to bump into when I get back to fishing in spring. Its not completely terrible but you get what you pay for. I took the magnetic brake apart to see if I could smooth it out and discovered a couple things. The chassis the magnets mount too floats on 2 pins with super light springs for tension, I stretched the springs a bit to provide a little more tension, helps make the brakes a little more consistent from cast to cast. The other issue I found is the chassis binds on the pins between the 4 and 8 setting. turning the brakes up works fine but backing down will hang at different spots each time you do it and will suddenly release so it makes the brakes very inconsistent. resetting to 1 then turning back up to the new setting was fairly consistent. The tolerances are so loose that I don't see a way to permanently fix these issues without getting too costly in time and money but with a couple tweaks it is not bad at all for the money. With the brakes working the way they do I wouldn't try to do any long casts.
100% possible... did it two weeks ago to get my buddy into fishing... $30 combo and the basic eagle claw bass fishing kit both at Walmart. with 10 bucks to spare for a couple hard baits if you wanted.
Yo congrats you’re almost at 100 K 500 more to go. your the most amazing hard working UA-camr I had ever seen and definitely the best one out there. Keep up the great work.
Finally. Someone gives an honest review of this thing. It sucks, but it will catch fish. That is a good conclusion in my opinion. I've used cheap gear and I currently have a baitcaster with a retail price of $250. This thing does not compare to my good reel, but other reviewers seem to act as though it will last as long or offer a good of features. Thanks for your honesty. .👍👍👍👍
I have this one. I got lucky and bought it for about $20. It was on clearance because it was nested. Someone played with it in store. Fairly easy fix, but I figured whatever, good price deal. Its my first baitcaster, learning to use it now.
Man, I gotta say, I’m really really really really really really lovin all the open mouth shocked face thumbnails on every single video you have!!!!!! Dang I wouldn’t have clicked on it if it weren’t for the open mouth and the shocked face!!! I wish other fishing UA-camrs would do the same thing that yo… oh wait…
Gotta love fishing in shorts and a t-shirt in January, it’s 10 degrees and snowing right now in Germany. Still planning on doing some fishing this weekend though, gotta get my channel up to this guy’s someday
Congratulations on 100k that’s so epic keep up the grind Ive been watching for a while and love all the awesome videos you really are the most entertaining UA-camr out there!!!
@yakpak man you're an inspiration to all anglers , thanks for helping me become a better fisherman and a better person . hope all is well with covid! stay healthy and keep up the great videos
I haven’t bought any Walmart brand fishing equipment in 30 years, but I have bought a couple of inexpensive “name brand” spinning combos, from Walmart. They have held up pretty well.
I bought an ozark trail 6'6 medium heavy spinning rod for from walmart for 20 beans a few months back. I think the spinning rod is better than the baitcaster combo personally
It looks a little better than the h20 Xpress one I bought from academy. The rod snapped on my second fish. The reel was "decent" for the price. But it was hard to dial in and was prone to backlash. Lasted about 20 fishing trips before the reel broke apart one day. I'd say the Ozark trail is better than the h2o Xpress
Today is the day my friend. You will join the 100k club. Congratulations tj. You deserve it man. Been watching you since you were in the 30s. Hard work and dedication pays off. When you do your best and when you do it the right way, good things come. You definitely worked for it and did it the right way. Congratulations on 100k man. I hope I get there one day! Keep grinding! Btw if you’re ever in eastern Tennessee, hit me up! I’ll take you to my secret honey hole.
Dude.. you hunted that ozark trails baitcaster down boiiiii !!! That's dedication for your Viewers Seriously... Much love as always from SanAntonio TX 👊 keep that 🔥 content coming!! ✌️

I like the video before I even get to 2 seconds into it! 😂🤟🏽

This reel was way nicer than I thought it was going to be, but durability was a big issue as it only lasted about two months.
Ozark trail spinning combos are the truth! I bought the inshore 4000 spin combo for like 40$. They are SO underrated!
Do you have a link on this reel

Congrats on getting close to 100k 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This vid was a BANGER🔥🔥🔥
Let’s go I was waiting for this. Banger of a vid Yak 👊
I nearly choked on my food when I heard that reel scream like that 🤣
I’ve been here for a long time I can’t believe you hit 100k congrats man 🎣🥳
You should do a $50 rod , real , tackle FISHING challenge
Na not unless off wish
100% possible... did it two weeks ago to get my buddy into fishing... $30 combo and the basic eagle claw bass fishing kit both at Walmart. with 10 bucks to spare for a couple hard baits if you wanted.
CONGRATS 🎈🍾 ON 100k YakPak!!
I throw a 50$ bass pro mega cast and it is just as good as a googan squad gold series
coming from a Ozark Trail fishing user the best line to put on the reel is braided line but use the right pound line
Almost 100k let’s help yakpack grow🔥
That reel sounds like a jet engine when it casts
" We finally found the Ozark Trail fishing rod"
Facts
LONG TIME COMING!! So excited we finally get to watch this video!!
Almost 100k subs congrats bro🤟
My son and I really enjoy your fishing videos. 🎣
Thanks for watching!
Congrats on 100k YakPak! One of the most entertaining and hardest working fishtuber 💪🏽
The people staring at you in the beginning kills me every time🤣🤣🤣

I bought one for my four year old and put it on a little rod for him he loves and wanted a reel like daddy. Been fun watching him learn
Gotta love fishing in shorts and a t-shirt in January, it’s 10 degrees and snowing right now in Germany. Still planning on doing some fishing this weekend though, gotta get my channel up to this guy’s someday
I've caught probably 150 fish on that reel. It's held up and I'm surprised.
If I wake up tomorrow and yakpak doesn’t have 100,000 subs I’m gonna send links to everybody i know, and tell them to sub to yakpak
I just bought this combo today, it was the first combo on the rack and I bought it right out of the box!! I can't wait to try it out!!
Bro, full Ozark trail challenge! Combo, baits and kayak!
It would probably a good starter combo for someone just starting with a baitcaster
“I went to the gym this morning” man you be hitting it every morning like we should know by now that you’re putting in that work. Keep it up bro
I would definitely recommend if you are on a budget, i own one and it does a very good job.
would also recommend buying some braided line for it, the line it comes with tends to tangle up easily if not dialed correctly.
Who just loves yakpak s content
100k subs Congratulations yakpak.
I’ve been waiting for this!!!
I’ve been waiting for this video!
tbh , ure the 4th fishing youtuber i sub after 1rod , jon b and googan .. love ur vids bruh .. keep it up .. sending fishing love from malaysia 🇲🇾

I love you YakPak, congrats on hitting 100k subscribers. Moving on up in the world of UA-cam.
I've never used a reel like that. I think I may pick one up.
@yakpak man you're an inspiration to all anglers , thanks for helping me become a better fisherman and a better person . hope all is well with covid! stay healthy and keep up the great videos

Congratulations on 100k Yakpak
Finally hit that 100k congrats man
Congratulations on 100k bro well deserved. Like always Keep up the hard work and tight linZ 🤙🎣!
I got this for my nephew (10) to learn to fish on. It’s been great for him to begin and learn with.
Surprisingly i found one at my local walmart, really good rod and reel! got it just a month ago!
Every time I see a yakpac vid pop up you already know that it is lit😂🤣😅
I haven’t bought any Walmart brand fishing equipment in 30 years, but I have bought a couple of inexpensive “name brand” spinning combos, from Walmart. They have held up pretty well.
Congrats on 100k
Got this combo today for $40, first baitcaster setup so I wanted something cheap in case I wanted to go back to my spinner reals
The rod actually looks super good though🔥
Hell ya YP 100k congratulations
Line is probably mono and that will lessen the traps vibration felt also. The reel I believe is made by Lews
Today I got my first thing of googan baits, I got the bandito bug and lunker log and they smell AMAZING
My buddy has one of those combos and it is so funny because that thing just starts to roar like a dinosaur mid cast.
I bought an ozark trail 6'6 medium heavy spinning rod for from walmart for 20 beans a few months back. I think the spinning rod is better than the baitcaster combo personally
As the wind blows the gill in midair

Never caught a bluegill on a rattletrap but I did catch one on a full size Rebel Minnow jerkbait last spring
It would be a good starter bait caster rod.
just got one its pretty straight, it has more bearings than the 59 dollar lews one + the lews one has like no bend.
Dude.. you hunted that ozark trails baitcaster down boiiiii !!! That's dedication for your Viewers Seriously... Much love as always from SanAntonio TX 👊 keep that 🔥 content coming!! ✌️
