- This video is a review of some of the mid priced equipment I use everyday. I think you’ll find value in each of these rods and reels without breaking the bank.

hmmmmm. A pro bass fisherman telling me I don't have to spend $500+ on a good rod/reel combo? Love it.
all that expensive equipment is nice and all but professional fisherman have caught bass for a long time without all the new equipment around now.
I have,,,7
Right! Love this dude
Have you never heard the saying pro’s get sacred when the guy in the John boat and trolling motor shows up
Yes, but he did also recommend favorite 😔
I dont understand how you only have 23k subscribers. Your information and knowledge should make you one of the top channels for fishing on UA-cam. Keep it up
Cody Mulcahy hey man thanks. The number of subs isn’t my number one focus. I’m just glad you find value in my vids
B Lat has one of the best channels on UA-cam, for sure! A true hidden gem.
Cody, I was just getting ready to post the same words. Brian, You remind me of the new version of Virgil Ward (He was one one of the original fishing info shows) and I always though his was the best info in fishing shows. I will tell my friends of this channel.
Cody Mulcahy totally agree!
Because his videos suck...too much talking!
As an amateur fisherman, I'm super stoked to find your videos. Super informative.
Wow just seeing this out of the box ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
Congrats on your win and the class you show. Loved seeing your family up there with you. God bless and full speed ahead!
I appreciate the video on rods and reels in this price range. I’m far from a pro but nowhere near a beginner. When I look for new equipment it’s usually somewhere in between.
Keep up the good work!
thanks for taking time to make these videos for us. Loved the shop remodel as well, get a little bit of everything on this channel!
Another well presented and extremely informative video. Thanks again Brian!
Love the Max series. I used the Black Max, Silver Max and Pro Max when I was in the military and they are the best reels in the low-mid dollar category IMO
I love listening to Brian you are so right on with criticism of certain types of equipment keep it up Howie G
I have a 7’4 medium heavy white bird with an Abu Garcia pro max and it’s the best combo I have. I have to say favorite is one of the best rods I’ve used. I find your information very helpful and I think I’m gonna try a defender rod now
I watched the flw live that was an amazing performance showing that Patients and a great Strategy pays off congratulations brother I love the videos Tons of great information you are a great man and one hell of a fisherman keep up the good work!
Brian, congratulations on your win! You deserve it as a good ole country boy, down to earth family oriented family man. Because of your opinion I purchased a white bird to try out the product. I usually fish upper end Lews but was looking for something a little different. I agree why hasn’t Favorite given you a custom signature series rod? Good luck, Thanks for keeping us informed and God Bless you and your family.
Man you are always spreading some knowledge. Love the channel and congrats again on the big W!! I got a little emotional right along with you man, couldn’t have happened to a better person. 👊👊
I love how the last 2 rods have tags on them still!! You have taught me alot and inspire me to try to be apart of the MLF!!!
Going to be ordering a few favorite rods this year to see how great they are. Hear nothing but positive things about them. Already love Abu Garcia reels.
Brian you're be far my favorite pro. I bought a defender spinning today couple months back. I will now be switching over to Favorite. Love there rods. Keep up the good work bro.
Hey man, appreciate your review! I started to buy a reel from Amazon, but wanted to help out your channel. I'm glad I did because it was actually cheaper on sportsman's outfitters. Win win!
B. Lat since the wife and I swear we saw you on a practice day up at Lake St. Clair this past summer (at the boat ramp she suggested you put your boat on our trailer, lol) I've watched most of your videos and can say I've learned a ton of information about fishing techniques and equipment. For us novice guys that secretly want to be able to fish with the big dogs any advantage I can get I'm taking it and I appreciate ya showing us stuff that won't break the bank or get the wifey too upset with us spending money on our hobby. Thanks again, keep up with the vids and fish on
Frank Farmer wow that’s awesome man thanks for watching
Brain is the man. I have learned so much from you being on the water and off. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keeping me inspired to keep going with my own channel. Thanks for the content.
B Fishing Outdoors thanks for watching!!! I really enjoy doing these
@@BrianLatimerFishing well I am glad because I really enjoy watching. Keep it up. It is appreciated.
very informative! took this advice and haven't regretted it
Always love you’re videos! Another great one
Just got the Elite Max 30. I can’t wait to use it. Thanks brother!!!
Brian lat, the only bass open champion that fishes in Jordan’s.
Dumb ass
Stupid
NM D. How tf is that racist?
@NM D. you're racist for thinking only block people wear jordans.
It’s true tho, look at 1:24
I bought an abu garcia pro max 2 years ago because of you and this video...
I've since tried a lews and a kastking baitcasters they weren't for me although I do like my lews spinning reel
I now have a black max for friends to use and a revo rkt for myself..
Abu garcia for life
Iv always favored you on account of you being from my home state and respected you being one of the few black anglers in the pros but you've become one of my favorite fisherman good luck to you
Great tips on what to use and when, never disappointed with your vids, thanks for sharin ✌
Marlon Witt thanks man! I really appreciate you watching all my stuff!
Thanks for the transparency. Bait, rods and reels
Great insight Brian! Fishing can be expensive some people can afford G Loomis, Kistler, high dollar Shimano reels etc. I can't
Just picked up a 7’1” med/heavy Sick Stick can’t wait to take it out. I had been using a Lew’s Speed Stick but had an accident with it so decided to try out a Favorite
Thanks Brian I've learned alot from your channel man. Keep it up!!!!
John Dunn I appreciate you my man
I love my lews and Abu Garcia baitcaster combos I pieced together shopping at Wal-Mart . Also cant forget about my Penn fierce 3000 spinning reel with 7' MH rod. That being said really wish instead of the revo x being Abu Garcia $99 reel they would have went with the tried and true pro max 3 and added a aluminum frame, improved drag and gears, a deeper lighter spool, a 95mm handle with softer knobs, an aluminum drag star and improved worm gear. I know alot of people will say that's what the revo x is but I never heard of pro max reels with flying side plates.
Great video bud. Congrats on the big win this weekend. 👍🏻👍🏻
Always good information!! Keep up the great work!!
Awesome combo's and selections. I'm gonna try some.
Good information. I always get some good info from your videos.
Matt Bell thanks for watching! I value your feedback!
i really want a revo x!!!! I've wanted one for quite a long time!
Man great review I had to drop a sub. Really informative.
I love the pro-max have three of them, upgraded this year from black-max. However for rods I really love lightning rods y Berkeley.
Nice!! Thanks B-Lat 💯 good information buddy 💯💯👍
We have the Revo X and Pro max combos from Abu Garcia and I am very happy with them so far. We have been using them since last season. I need to get the medium heavy bait caster next....
Thank you B.Lat!! Very helpful
Just used that code and your advice and ordered the white bird thank you been wanting to try them out so I went low 1st plus I got a free shirt thanks
Hello Brian, great video thanks for sharing. New sub, plan on binge watching some of your content tonight! Have a good one
Picked up a White Bird at Tampa Fishing Outfitters and love it. Thank you sir for the info!
its a great rod man!
Good timing, shopping for a new rod. Thanks!
Daniel Sanders that’s so awesome!
Awesome video. You helped me find a good combo to start off with :D
Rod socks are worth every penny. Thy make life so much easier.
Enjoy your vids....on a budget as many fishermen ....been thinking bout pro max reel and will add to my limited arsenal for next season....wishing you succes
Gregory Gambrell I was really impressed with how well it fishes. Watch my Mystery tackle box video next month where I use it.
Love the shop!!!
Brian, I thought I was sub'd until I clicked on this video. So in saying that, you earned a new sub and keep on doing great man and God bless!
You’ve got some good sponsors. Abu/Bill Lewis/Favorite. Lucky guy.
Very good info. Ive been wanting to try Favorite rods out and Revo. Also, im pretty sure i need that wall of Zman! Great video!
BigRedBass I love mine
You can get them all here www.sportsmansoutfitters.com
Subscribed! Great content 👊🏼
This video came out just in time. I was just telling myself I need a good spinning reel setup definitely gonna check out what you suggested
Robert Simon bro these are just a few! There’s so many to choose from
You can see everything here www.sportsmansoutfitters.com
B.L. is my favorite Bass pro...would love to spend a day of fishing on any of my states (Missouri) great bass lakes...
im usually a lews man myself... but that whitebird looks attractive aesthetics wise and price range... might have to pick one of those up! good job b-lat kinda cool to see a pro angler that doesnt spend an arm and a leg on fishing rods and reels
joshua lee I do use some high favorite rods but I promise you the white bird is literally the best rod I’ve put hands on under 150$
Great Info thanks Brian
Great review, thanks!
The problem with my situation; I need a good 2 piece spinning setup for finesse fishing small mouth in the Niagara. So far I am set on the Abu Garcia Zata Spinning Fishing Reel paired with a 2 piece St. Croix Rods Mojo Bass Spinning Rod.
I haven't tried the Favorite brand of rods yet, but I'll check them out. The best rods that I've seen at the $49.99 price point thus far is the Daiwa Aird-X.
Absolute awesome rods the Daiwa Aird X are for the price. I use a 2-4lb spin for snapper and jews even
Agreed on the Aird-X. Been nothing but happy with them. They are at least as good as rods twice the price.
@@andya7551 Jews?
Best one of black tips vids
You should work with favorite to make some old school styled rods with modern day performance. I love their rods but I miss the cork grips and classic features.
Thanks for the info. You do a nice job.
Jim Warden thanks man I’m grateful you watch
That Defender looks like its wrapped in some crazy bubble gum man. I picked up my 1st Favorite rod MH Jason Christie 6'8" and paired it with a Bass Pro Qualifier 2. Smooth as hot butter on ice. Thank you for the information and sharing it. Much love and tight lines.
Luke that’s a falcon rod not a favorite rod
I know this is a old vid. But I’m a avid bass fisherman fish a lot of club events etc. I own several revo’s and almost everything I own is Abu. But IMO the Promax for me is the smoother better feeling reel. I use them for everything deep cranking swimbaits etc. They just feel better over the revo in my book.
I have 2 Favorite rods; a 7’4” med hvy Big Sexy, and a 7’ Lunkers TV medium/fast spinning. I just have to say that one of the best things about the rods are the fit/finish and attention to detail. Very good quality, and seem to be a good company.
Rusty K you really get a lot for what you pay for and there’s a lot to choose from
Favorite needs to hurry up with some B. Lat signature series rods !!!
PappaSqually maybe!
Brian Latimer man you deserve it ! Plus it’ll reach to a different part of the market . A few of my buddies who don’t really watch any UA-cam had no idea what Favorite rods were but when I mentioned your name the knew who I was talking about they just didn’t know who your rod sponsor was . I just don’t think they could go wrong with a B. Lat rod !
PappaSqually that’s such a dope story!!! I love it👊🏾
I definitely back the of B.Lat fishing gear👏👌
Thanks for the info dude. I will add a few of those to my arsenal
Nemesis A6 there’s several others that I really like but these are just a few that I’ve been studying recently
Look at them here www.sportsmansoutfitters.com
Great video man thank you for the tips !!! I have a question what pound braid do you use for your spinning rods ? I’m new to braid just started using it
It's a kids pole and my grand kids love it great buy
You’re a cool dude. New Subscriber right here
I really like that white bird set up
I love my ProMax!
New sub here. Great video. I dont have much disposable income so the pratical breakdown you gave was valuable. Thanks!
Hey man most of us don't!!! trust me I can relate
Another really good rod under 50 is the daiwa aird x. An absolute beast for spinning or baitcasting. But i’m a daiwa guy in general so i might be biased because it matches my exceler lt
Agreed great rod for great price
@@Hankxiong wish i would have seen this before spending 40 bucks on a ugly stick
@@cshepard09 😨😨😨😨
Sick went with the pro max. Subbed and belled homie
great video man!
Great video bud!
Great info BLat
Great job , it help me more then you know!
Lee Smith thanks brother I’m glad there’s value there for you
Great information
You have a Lee's Summit Missouri that moved from Texas that I met last weekend at the lake
He said he work at Cisco in Overland Park Kansas
Wow
Great video !!
Definitely need your own Sponsored Rod. Call it the "B. LAT Maxx" preferred by the Friendly Fisherman
COOLJC313 I hear you man
I agree
Love my pro Max
New sub...enjoying watching your videos
Would have been interested in what rod and spinning reel you use for lighter finesse applications? I've been a long time user of Abu Garcia like their reels and rods. But I've been having problems deciding on a good finesse combo any suggestions? Been looking at St Croix, not very familiar with favorite rods.
Good content, subbed
Have I been under my rock too long, or is a Favorite a relatively new company? Side note: you make great videos Brian.
New subscriber (and new angler, sorta) I'm looking to up my spinning gear with a reel under $180, any thoughts on the Revo Rocket spin reel? Otherwise going with the X.
Subbed. Good content!
Randall Pink Floyd thanks man
I got a pro max reel love it
Good info!!🎣👊🏼💯
Louis Torres thanks bro! You’re my most faithful viewer 👊🏾
Good video, ive been using the same rods and reels for many years. Buy quality and take care of it.
SaltyBro me too! It’s crazy how long they’ll last
SaltyBro me too! It’s crazy how long they’ll last
Have you/can you do an updated video on this? I love your opinion on budget stuff
97% of the time, I use baitcasters. The other 3%, I use a telescopic cane pole :-). I'm now wanting to get a quality rig for throwing light tackle (1/16 , 1/8...). From what I can tell, a small spinning rig would be ideal, but not sure what's really good. I'm 57 and have still rigs that I bought when I was 13, so this will be a life-time rig. I see a JM Signature Series and Pro Qualifier combos at BP that seem good. I also see a combo recommended by Bill Dance by Quantum, and another recommeded by IKE. I'm sure they're all good, but need some professional advice from someone who uses spinning gear. Thank you for your reply.
Have a question why don't you use the lowrance trolling motor to go with your depth finders
Man! Thank you UA-cam Algorithm! SUBBED!
Brian, when are you going to post the final video of your boat being build? What motor? Thanks, Stan
Stan Stone very soon
Where can I find those White Bird rods down in Louisiana. Got myself a Revo SX on a 7' All Star Med. Power Moderate action. I myself like a full cork handle and I would like to try out the White Bird series rod
