Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Rod Action and Power. Here is my best explanation of both. Link to the new Channel - / giantbluegill
Dude, you're the best. I've watched all the fishing UA-camrs for a while now and I think you're hands down the best. More teaching and less ego. Keep up the good instruction! I've learned a boat load from u!
Chai tern I learned after that and figured it out then instead of exchanging the casting rod for a spinning rod, I got a bait cast reel and a spinning rod. Full send or no send.
I've always wanted to go fishing with a professional bass angler and since I don't have that option I've been watching your videos for years. I've learned from them and I just wanted to thank you for the level of detail in each of your videos. As the others have said I did not understand rod action and power but now I have a better understanding of which rod to fish with each lure. Which I believe will mean more hook sets and better days on the water!
Hey man! Thanks for all the info your channel has provided. It's been great especially since I'm "new" to fishing. The one thing I appreciate from all you youtubers is your ability to pass on information that's non bias. Cheers Gene
Thank You! I have a youth fishing team in Columbia County. I've just asked my young team to follow your subscriptions. You have a very easy to understand method. My middle school aged team members will totally understand after listening to your explanations. Thank you!
Thank you Rosie. I guess the reason I teach the way I do is because I've been working with youth for most of my life. They are the demographic that I focus on the most. What state are you in? The reason I ask is because I live in Columbia County, GA. :)
Thanks for the Video! Cleared up a lot of questions! I remember last summer putting together a list for my rod and reel set up and getting slightly frustrated with what I need for what. Cant wait to see the Next video!
I'm trying to pick a rod for my jerkbait lures and this video has helped me understand what does fast, slow, moderate tip means. It even shows the different bends of the rod according to its descriptions. The video is very well made and made it very understandable for new guys like myself. I've only used ugly sticks since I'm a newbie. Great video and thanks!
Anyone getting into bass fishing, even those of us who fish a lot, should watch this video! I can't stress enough how important it is to have the correct rod for the right line and lure! You'll catch so many more fish (at least not lose many fish) if you're using the correct power/action rod to line strength! Thanks Gene!
Thank you for the explanation. I haven a casual angler since I was a child and never knew this stuff. Great to understand now that I'm getting deeper into fishing
Im just waiting on the day to go fishing with you! Your videos have taught me more about fishing then probably any other youtuber out there. Keep up the hard work with your channel and i will thank you from not only myself but all of your followers .Thank you for sharing and helping the fishermen around the world to become better and strive to learn more ways of catching fish.
Hey Gene, great description on power and action of a rod. Helped me buy my new rod (Ducket Ghost 7'6") and reel ( Abu Garcia Orro SX) and gave me tips on how to better utilize my current setup. Many thanks! Please keep the videos coming. You did a video on bank fishing a while back and if you get the chance, so please give some more tips for those of us who don't yet own a boat.
Man i wish i seen this vid when i first started. Woulda saved me tons of research and time. And regrets. Been watching u alot lately. Ive never seen any channel that teaches this much. Thanks man
Hey bud, gotta say, as far as "teaching" you're definitely the best on UA-cam. Alot of guys just give opinions.....you seem to base your teachings from FACT, rather than opinion.
Once again Gene, you did a great job for us video junkies. I've read the article that you mentioned and I seem to get more from someone explaining live (or video) than I do from reading. I sure look forward to the bait/lure reviews. I have definitely improved due to your videos, because I catch more fish with your tips and techniques. My 7 year old son and I watch these videos together and I see him trying to apply what he can, and he does catch a few. The only problem I have now is that he wants to use the bait casters, so I give mine knowing full well I'm about to get back a reel with a horrible birdnest in it.
LOL! that's awesome. I always keep my videos clean so a child can sit on dad's lap and watch with him. I have three boys and a girl and it's nice not worrying about what they will see while sitting on my lap when I watch videos.
Hello I love fishing🎣 and i consider myself a beginner I just bought my first shaksper medium action tiger🐅 spinning combo for $25 and I also bought a shaksper durango 6ft medium action baitcaster rod $10 and also I bought a abugarcia baitcaster reel I was looking for a review of my shaksper durango medium action baitcaster rod and I came across your i can't wait to go fishing🎣 with my fishing rods 👍💯
Gene where you been man? Glad your back. I'm a kayak fisherman and your videos have improved my knowledge and ability on a consistent basis. thank you for what you do!
I picked up a Cub Scout Pack and have been getting things rolling. I had to put a bunch of thing on hold for a while. I think I'm ready to get things going again.
I know how you feel. . I'm a teacher at a junior high and am also the hooked on fishing not on drugs sponsor. . we are learning fly casting right now SCARY!!
Thanks Flukemaster Jensen. I never really knew the difference between all the powers and speed ect. but had an idea. It make more sense now. I read up a little bit earlier on a web site. Hopefully it helps me choose and catch fish.
What’s your thoughts on a 7.6 medium light extra fast rod? Thank you so much for taking the time to do all these videos. I watch so many UA-camrs but you are by far the best teacher and I learn the most from you.
Wow just wow you are probably the best fishing UA-camr I’ve ever watched that explained the rod action and power this was so helpful most fishing youtubers and biased and like specific rod and reel company’s but I think it’s a good idea to try different rod companies are better than others on specific rod actions or powers great info this really answers my questions
What do I like the most about your video's? You're not screwing around trying to be Joe Cool. Your style is informative, straight forward, and most of all you are teaching. THANK YOU......
thanks man i learned more about fishing rods in 10 mins than i have my whole life. the rod i have i hate it and you helped me realize why i hate it. i need the opposite of what i have for the style of fishing i like to do.
No problemo. I never even thought of what "action" ment. I was just assuming I used a fast action for fast retrieves and a medium for slower retrieves. Derp a do me! Ill mention what I learned from you and send people your way for the in depth insight. THansk again. PS KEEP ON POSTING THOSE FISH VIDEOS!
Flukemaster This has got to be the most in depth and correct video on rod action and power awesome video i agree with every bit of what you said. The bass reasource has the best how to videos great job
Fluke buddy idk why you are stuck right at under 300k Subs! You should have a million at the least! I have been watching you for years and you are one of the best fishing UA-camrs that there is in my opinion. Heck I’m starting up my own “Fishing/Hunting/Outdoors” UA-cam channel. I’m in the process of getting it up and going and I’m flipping out every time I get that notification saying I have a new sub! My Goal is to hit 100 subs this year. I would be ecstatic lol! But you my friend have worked and busted your tail and have earned each and everyone of your subs! I can’t wait to see the day you hit a Million!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Gene, Great vid. This is so going to help me out this weekend while I'm stripper fishing. I have a totally new rig I was going to try and after watching your vid, adjustments will need to be made. Thanks for the info!!!
I would love to see a video explaining reels.... recovery rates-max drag-ball bearings... and such. This would really help me understand things a little more and i sure it would help other as well !!!!
I Catfish a lot and if I can break a Cyrcle Hook by setting it I better get diff hooks . I know your talking Bass here but with Catfishing MED/HEAVY fast action is all you need unless your in to some huge Flatheads in some realy thick cover then Id grab Heavy action with x fast tip. Nice video man keep them coming .
Thank you very muchfor your information. it had been very useful... Do you know if there is a fishing rod that may be used for bait casting and spinning reels?. is not because i want to safe money purchasing only one rod ... its to difficult to carry two fishing polls than carry two diffetent reels.
I love your videos. quick question. I have a 6'6" browning vectra medium action with a abu black max that I bought at a fishing flea market. what style of fishing do you think this would be good for? top water, crankbaits, worms,etc.?
Hi, thanks for the great video. I really appreciate this video as I have been confused for a long time. I wish rod rating describe 4 things; power, action, sensitivity, and stiffness. The general understanding is that a fast action rod is stiffer than a medium action rod of the same power rating, but I have seen many exceptions to that. For example, Quantum Vibe rod is a medium power (6-12 lb line) medium action graphite rod, but it is MUCH STIFFER that the Shimano Stimula which is a medium power (6-14 lb line) fast action composite rod. There are rods out there that are so stiff the tip wont bend but the whole rod bends, now that's considered medium action but the rod is actually not soft at all. How would you describe such rod? Would you recommend such rod for single hook presentations such as worms or Johnson Silver Minnow spoons.
For shaky heads/Texas rigged soft plastics, would a 7' heavy, fast action work? It'd be sensitive since its fast action. My main concern is how big a role the power of the rod comes into play. I'm not casting heavy Texas rigs either. I'm also thinking about braid for more sensitivity. Great video brother. Best one I've seen
Yea im glad i watched this, you are fantastic in explaining things. Im not new to fishing but im going to be buying my fist Baitcaster rod and reel here soon and i do need some advice. I have a Johnny Morris Carbonlite spinning 6'6 6-17lb line Med Hvy Fast action rod with the Stradic C3000 from Shimano. I love this setup for spinning but i want to get into baitcasting and being new to it what would you recommend starting out with rod and reel. I love top water and spinner baits, used to do alot of worming texas rigs when i was young but used a spinning rod. I want great quality but don't want to break the bank. Thanks a ton and hope to hear from you soon. Great vids BTW i watch almost every one
What a great video! Thanks! I would like to ask, white power and action do you reccomend in order to have good spring back behaviour! I am looking for slow pitch jigging for 200gr (5-7 oz) lures, and 70mtrs depth. I need easy parabolic bending (moderate action?) and fast spring back move! Any blank to suggest?
I will. The ice storm we had this week was pretty bad. I've been taking my boys around town and helping neighbors clean up the mess. I'm heading to the Bassmaster Classic Expo this coming weekend so that should get me fired up again. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video, have a couple questions. I'm looking at picking up a few different rods for lake trout, we typically start early in the morning with sinking swim bait for the bigger lakers in the 15-30 pound range using a method similar to jigging, later in the day we move to a different part of the lake for the smaller lakers in the 3-8 pound range and jig with 4 inch buzz bombs. Then once lunchtime rolls around we get the downriggers out to troll for the smaller lakers. So I'm looking for suggestions on power and action. I realize graphite is more sensitive than fiberglass but graphite is not designed to work well with downriggers, so would I be okay with a medium fiberglass for the downriggers and a medium heavy for jigging both sizes of the lakers?
It's good to be back at it Dan. I took on way too much last fall and winter and hopefully I can get my schedule fixed enough to get back into the videos this spring.
Dude, you're the best. I've watched all the fishing UA-camrs for a while now and I think you're hands down the best. More teaching and less ego. Keep up the good instruction! I've learned a boat load from u!
Lol oh man after watching this i realized i just ordered me a broomstick. A heavy extra fast action.
Chai tern I bought a casting rod for my spinning reel 😂
@@PDPIE1029 lmfao! Damn. Thats a new way of mixing 😅🤣
Chai tern Bruh, I referred to the trigger as my Thumb hook 😂😂😂
@@PDPIE1029 im mad curious to how you cast with that thumb hook LMFAO!😂🤣😂🤣
Chai tern I learned after that and figured it out then instead of exchanging the casting rod for a spinning rod, I got a bait cast reel and a spinning rod. Full send or no send.
Bass often like to hide behind the seat cushions on your sofa - on warm days they are found underneath the couch where they feed on crumbs
So that's what that smell has been.

Damn! I've fished my entire life, never looked this far into rods.... finally ACTION EXPLAINED PERFECLY!!!!!!!
I've been fishing for over 15 years and i never truly knew the importance of rod specs. Awesome video!!
Hey man! Thanks for all the info your channel has provided. It's been great especially since I'm "new" to fishing. The one thing I appreciate from all you youtubers is your ability to pass on information that's non bias. Cheers Gene

Really informative video on rods! Really have a much better understanding of when to use certain rods.
This is a very well thought out description for us newer anglers. Thanks for the effort.
+James Anderson Thanks James
Man this video is gold brother! Helping me out on my choice of rod for late winter sauger fishing.
I never considered action equating to a sensitivity of a rod. Very helpful! Thanks for all you do! Wish I'd have seen this years ago lol.
I'm trying to pick a rod for my jerkbait lures and this video has helped me understand what does fast, slow, moderate tip means.

It turns out my uncle is an flw pro named Jason Meninger and between you two i have learned many things about fishing. thanks!
Cool
Tons of info Gene! Thank you so much for the explanation of power and action. It makes so much sense now.

Wow! I can't believe I'd never seen this video before, it's fantastic!
Thanks for this video. I was given two hodgepodge rod and reels. Rhino glowtip 6'6 mediums and a Shakespeare 4000 spinning reel.

Great video.....can i use a medium fast action spinning rod for silicon lures or i will need faster action;
I love your videos. quick question. I have a 6'6" browning vectra medium action with a abu black max that I bought at a fishing flea market. what style of fishing do you think this would be good for? top water, crankbaits, worms,etc.?

Waleed Almalki Thanks, I'm glad I could help.
Thanks Gene...very good info.
Thank you Eddie
Great Video Thank you.
Yea im glad i watched this, you are fantastic in explaining things. Im not new to fishing but im going to be buying my fist Baitcaster rod and reel here soon and i do need some advice. I have a Johnny Morris Carbonlite spinning 6'6 6-17lb line Med Hvy Fast action rod with the Stradic C3000 from Shimano. I love this setup for spinning but i want to get into baitcasting and being new to it what would you recommend starting out with rod and reel. I love top water and spinner baits, used to do alot of worming texas rigs when i was young but used a spinning rod. I want great quality but don't want to break the bank. Thanks a ton and hope to hear from you soon. Great vids BTW i watch almost every one
What a great video!
Thanks!
I would like to ask, white power and action do you reccomend in order to have good spring back behaviour!
I am looking for slow pitch jigging for 200gr (5-7 oz) lures, and 70mtrs depth.
I need easy parabolic bending (moderate action?) and fast spring back move!
Any blank to suggest?
thanks for the explanation... keep up the tips and info..
Excellent video
Good video! Very helpful.
Thanks Brad
Long time Gene.
Welcome back!
Thanks. It's good to be back at it.
Seen all your videos. I´ve learned so much from them/you.
Thank you.
From Portugal Perfect :)
This is very good information.
Thank You
Great video Gene, get back to making more when your schedule allows. They're always enjoyable.
I will. The ice storm we had this week was pretty bad. I've been taking my boys around town and helping neighbors clean up the mess. I'm heading to the Bassmaster Classic Expo this coming weekend so that should get me fired up again. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video, have a couple questions. I'm looking at picking up a few different rods for lake trout, we typically start early in the morning with sinking swim bait for the bigger lakers in the 15-30 pound range using a method similar to jigging, later in the day we move to a different part of the lake for the smaller lakers in the 3-8 pound range and jig with 4 inch buzz bombs. Then once lunchtime rolls around we get the downriggers out to troll for the smaller lakers. So I'm looking for suggestions on power and action. I realize graphite is more sensitive than fiberglass but graphite is not designed to work well with downriggers, so would I be okay with a medium fiberglass for the downriggers and a medium heavy for jigging both sizes of the lakers?
nice to see a video again.ive missed them great job
It's good to be back at it Dan. I took on way too much last fall and winter and hopefully I can get my schedule fixed enough to get back into the videos this spring.
Thank. You for this video!!
You have inspired me to get my first ducketts...
Want one for cranks and one for Texas rigged worms, soft plastics
Casters
welcome back sir.
A very interesting topic on one of the fishing mysteries. But not any more :)
Thanks
Thanks. It's good to be back at it.
We'll be waiting for those lure and tackle vids
Now that we finally have the power back on here in Georgia I can get to work on some.
Very good man!
So much was explained, very informational vids!
Thanks Noah
youre welcome keep them coming!
