Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- I have a lot of people ask me about the fishing rods that I use for Muskies so in this video I talk about the 4 main rods that I use for musky fishing and what baits I like to throw with each of them and pose the question, "Is there one rod that will do it all?"
The four rods I use the most are as follows:
Chaos Tackle Assault Stick 20/20 Surgical Strike 9 ft Split Grip
Chaos Tackle Assault Stick 20/20 SWAT 9 ft 6 in Split Grip
Chaos Tackle Assault Stick 20/20 Shock & Awe 9 ft Split Grip
Chaos Tackle Assault Stick 20/20 MOAB 9 ft Full Grip

Great video dude, awesome breakdown! I think rods are a lot more specialized than people realize.
Matt Vavroch Fishing Thanks dude!
Hey there, .. I mentioned in my last post about musky rods double as a surf rod… well, .. I just walked back from one of our local beaches with my new musky rod 10’6” Tackle Industries, .. I whipped this rod pretty hard and I got well over 125 yards which is way farther than you would ever need for casting to any musky...!
I've heard guys fishing for small bluefin tuna with these rods... Nit just the brand Zi gave but I believe most musky rods are up for the task of many species of fish...!
Awesome rod, .. I must say..!
Tight lines to all...!
🤙😎👌
I just got 9’6” xtra heavy psycho stick. Can’t wait to try it out this year.
EPIC REVIEW" I now know which rod I'm getting! Thanks Brutha! jd
J Dean Thanks Very much!
Great breakdown and video Brian.
Mitchell Genz Thank you sir!
Solid video! I think for most guys that fish shield lakes, think bigger lures most of the time, the Shock & Awe would be a perfect all around stick, in 9'.
For me, the MOAB is my go-to rod, I pretty much do everything with it. I'm not a angler that needs a rod/reel specialty set up for certain lures, I love the grab one and go approach. More casting, less time swapping gear.
54 or bust Thanks dude! I like your breakdown!
Hey there, ... 2 years ago I purchased a Tackle Industries 9’ telescopic musky rod med heavy fast action 60 to 130 lbs. line rating paired with a Daiwa Lexa 400, ... Then recently I got another musky rod, .. Tackle Industries telescopic 10’6” xtra heavy fast action, ... Paired with a very nice Abu 7000c...
I've seen and checked out many musky rods but I think the price of a Tackle Industries rod, ... I cannot complain about it..
9’ tele was $275
10’6” tele was around $300…
Musky is not the only fish these rods are for… my 10’6” Is 6” shy of one of my surf rods... Which made me think, .. You do not need to spend a lot on musky rods... They're not much different than surf rods…. Think about it…?
🤙😎👌
Thanks for sharing
George Fitzhugh You bet!
I’ve got curado 300/301s for my surgical strikes but the tele rods were a gamechanger when I was driving a Colorado before stepping back up to a full sized truck.
TheRivergoat Those Curados are solid reels! I used to run those before the Tranx 400 was a thing 😉
@@AnglingAnarchy no joke! It can be tricky finding a 401 but speaks for the quality of the reel
Good stuff
Rick Eyre Thank you, sir!
i really enjoy my assault stick shak&awe and know my father loves his 20/20 i got him for fathers day but if your on a budget the daiwa prorex rods at their price point cant be beat. i also have a few st croixs and love them but know alot of people cant justify spedning 350-500 on a rod. i mostly run abu and daiwa reels tho would like to try a tranx but that would require me getting more rods i can take having one or two spare reels but 4-5 feels like a waste. 7'6 is the perfect length rod for certain rivers near me that you have to run jon boat or kayak in but they have some monsters in but when i can break my big boat out i love the 9'6 perfect legnth and really just lets you get that bait out there and cover some water
I have a surgical strike, 9 foot, its the only rod I use.
A lot of youtubers recommend the Swat model for the all purpose muskie rod, but to me its just not necessary? The big heavy lures (4oz+) for me personally are too expensive and aren't necessary to catch big fish, and since I've caught plenty of fish on the smaller stuff. I typically throw single/double 8s, the largest I've thrown is a 6oz headbanger, or a double 9. I've raised plenty of sizeable fish on my mepps musky marabou spinner, as well as my micro angry dragon chatterbait.
Just ordered a 8’6 swat. Fish from the bank a lot wanted something a little shorter, think it’ll be pretty versatile for myself.
Chad I think you'll be happy with that choice!
Being a seated angler in a wheelchair, I cant throw the 8ft and 9ft rods, so I am looking at getting a 7’10 from St Croix this summer when I get up to the Northwoods! Great video Brian as always!
Chaos has a 7'10 as well worth checking out
@@TAFilms really, I will check that out Thanks!
BIONICK 🦾 Take a look at the Chaos Tackle Tactical Strike, it comes in a 7' 10" model! Thanks for watching bud!
@@AnglingAnarchy Good call, Brian, I will check it out for sure! 👍🏻
The chaos rods are very good rods,I have a surgical strike, but I prefer my st.croix rods, I just like them better plus if something ever happens to your st.croix all you have to do is call them and they'll send you a new rod no questions asked.
Eric Pennington I ran St Croix Legend Tournaments for many years, but I really don't like the fast action. The only rod I really liked was the 7'9" Lip Stick, and it was because of the Moderate/Fast Action. I still use St Croix for walleye, bass, panfish, I just don't care for the musky rods anymore. But it's all about what you're confident fishing! Thanks for the comment, dude!
@@AnglingAnarchy Just ordered that 7'9 Lip Stick on their Labor Day clearance sale for $160!
Only rods that are in my boat our Thorn Bros costume rods .
Best musky shop, makes me proud to be from MN
What rod do you use for jerk baits/glide baits? I was thinking of getting the tactical strike. Contemplating between the two lengths.
Dux I use the 9ft surgical strike for smaller glides and jerks. The Tactical in either the 8'6" or the 9' would be an excellent choice for them as well!
I think any rod you use to catch a decent sized pike will be fine for catching muskie...but I'm just a pike angler up in north central Alberta!
Dave W I agree that you can catch a musky or pike on just about any rod from ultra light to XXXXH, the issue is mostly using a rod that will handle the weight and size of the baits that you want to use 😊
@@AnglingAnarchy
Good point...you don't want to be casting out a 5oz swim bait on a 1oz lure rod...recipe for disaster....love the vids!
@Dave W Thanks so much for watching my man!
I’ve got a original assault stick in shac an awe. And it’s a little older and the part where it is telescopic got a little water in it and it doesn’t move now no matter what i do. Also at the show in St. Charles I was told that I could trade it in and get a brand new one. Is that true?
Cooper s You're best bet would be to contact Vince through the Chaos Tackle Facebook page and see what he'd be willing to do for you.
I am looking to get 2 rods to cover everything. I'm thinking 9' surgical strike for up to 4 oz, and 9' shock n awe for anything bigger. Would that be the best 2? Also, I am 6'1, would going to 9'6" on the rods be better? Thanks.
Wolflord81 The Surgical and the Shick and Awe are the two rods I use the most busy a long shot! So I would say that those would be a good call 😊
Can you use glide bait with the Moab?
@derickchristensen3219 You certainly could, especially larger, heavier ones. For most glides, though, I'd prefer either the Surgical Strike or Tactical Strike in either an 8'6" or 9'.
Thanks what about a rod that you can throw just about everything like big plastics,buck tails, glide bait, and crank bait?a rod that does it all?!?
@derickchristensen3219 It's really hard to come by one rod that does it all because you're almost always going to either have a rod too heavy for really small/light baits or one that can't quite handle the really big/heavy baits. The closest I would say you could get would be a 9'6" Shock and Awe
That’s what I was looking at.thank you so much and good luck this season!!
@@derickchristensen3219 Good luck to you as well!
Cool, Bert Kreischer lost some weight!
