I am a mother and grandmother, I know absolutely nothing about fishing. I watched your video, went to Walmart and purchased the items in your video. About one hour later I caught my very first Bass! I was so surprised! I am hooked on fishing! Thank for your tips!
Dude my son and I are the exact same age as you and your son. Tomorrow he turns 7 years old and wants a fishing rod as a gift. I have no clue about fishing. Never been taught. But we will both be learning. Hope your trip went well. I'm watching this video in the Walmart parking lot before I go in. Thankful for this video!
I'm a boy mom and he wants to go fishing. I haven't fished since I was a little girl with my grandfather. I wrote down the list of items that you suggested. Wish us luck!!
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
These are really great beginner videos. It seems like second nature once you do it for a while, but it's easy to forget how bad we all were when we start. Had a buddy who told me he did stuff like use huge sinkers while panfishing, lol. I, myself, had no idea what to do with most lures. I used to throw out frogs into open deep water and just reel them steadily back, lol. Vids like this are great for just showing the basics of how to start and not look like a fool. Nice work!
Love your practical videos.I am 63 and been using spincast reels my whole life. They may not look cool but I have caught a lot of nice fish and have eaten good. Keep up the good work.
“The problem with closed faced (reels) is that they get water in them and they just don’t last very long.” Um, grasshopper, what are you doing? Throwing the whole rod and reel in the water? I’m currently fishing with one of the cheap Zebco 404 combos I bought almost 30 years ago along with a couple of others my dad bought close to 20 years ago. I have my grandmother’s Zebco 33 and 202 reels from the 1950s or 60s that I found in some of my dad’s outside storage. She was an avid fisher. The 202 was on its original pole, caked in years of dust from the elements. It still had the line. I decided to throw it to see if it still worked, and it cast beautifully across the yard and then reeled in like it always did. The line broke but the reel worked. I took it apart, cleaned out the old grease and grime, oiled and greased it and put it back together and it is like a new one (neither one look like they’d ever had this done). I’m now looking for an appropriate rod to put it on. I’m going to clean up the 33 next (even though it works just fine as well). For beginners if you want to frustrate them right away, recommend that open faced spinning reel. The 2nd rats nest they have to untangle or cut out, they’ll throw that thing in the dumpster. But a simple push button spin cast reel is simple and cheap, especially for beginners. The 404 combo is currently priced at $16.88, and you can get a 33 combo for $24.88. I just bought the new 404 combo just to test it out and while it could use better line, I caught several bluegill (we call them bream) the first time out. I WILL have to try that spinner bait you’re using.
I have watched alot of these walmart challanges and most are all about bass fishing. It's not hard to spend 20 on some worm jigs and hooks but you actually gave a nice variety of choices for all sorts of fish. I have a bit of experiance throughout my life of catching freshwater fish it's nice to see a little more than just bass advice like most the others do.
This is making my life so much easier, thank you! I'm thinking of getting back into the fishing game. The last time I went, I was maybe 12... My Dad used to bring me all the time. I always had a blast. I'd like to do it on my own now, but I had no clue where to start. Excellent tips.
Here’s a better tip. Buy a rod and reel set up (Spinning preferably). Take all the line off and go to you’re local tackle shop and they will spool you up for 3$.
Nah, I like to learn and do everything myself. I learned how to take apart and setup my own guitar last year, now I'm great at it. I'm going to learn how to set up my fishing gear and hunting bow this year.
I love this video! its to the point without all the filler nonsense. ive been wanting to learn how to fish for a while but i remember when i was a kid all the gear and prep my dad had to go through for fishing and it was turning me off from learning. but if i can have a little set up like this in my car at all times to fish when the mood strikes me then im going tomorrow to get the gear.
fished before but never really took it seriously. Watched this video and bought exactly what you bought. I used the inline spinner and caught a catfish for the first time. Thank you!
@@lucaspacheco3631 It doesn't say salt water use on it, but plenty of people have used them for salt water. Just keep it clean by rinsing it with fresh water and grease and oil it regularly.
The south bend setup is a great little setup. Super fun to fight small bass on it. But I would recommend changing out the line for some trilene or trout sos. The original line has a lot of memory and gets tangled easily.
J.T. Cooper I recently moved to a town that only had a Wal-Mart. I slayed 3-6 pound large mouth all day long last winter on that exact ugly stick combo. Just keep the reel oiled up nice and I'm pretty conident that $40 investment would last year's and year's.
I’ve watched googan squad for a long time and would love to fish but didn’t know how. I’ve watched your vids and understand why I can’t catch fish in the Ohio river where I am
Very helpful video! Thanks. 🙂 I used to fish all the time when I was younger, but it’s been 23 years and I have forgotten a lot of this stuff. Excited to bring my daughters fishing soon!
Great video..thank you very much. I am 37 and just getting into a fishing hobby. I got a ugly stik and reel combo. Your video helped me to get a holistic understanding of the next steps.
Very helpful.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you very much. I have been using some old rods and reels with line that is probably 30 years old. I was tired of breaking off on the smallest of fish so I took to UA-cam and this is the video that did it for me. I spent under $50 at my local Walmart and caught a 3 pound bass only days later. I cannot thank you enough for teaching me the basics of fishing. You got me hooked (no pun intended) and I am exited to share what I have learned with all of my friends. I wish you luck on your next fishing adventure and I hope to see more videos from you in the future. Thank you again and have a wonderful day.
This video was great, and just what i needed. Just getting started fishing again now that my boys are a little older and want me to take them fishing. I feel so much better about knowing what we need to get started. Thank you so much and I love your channel.
Thank you so much for this! I want to learn how to fish and your videos are super straight forward and easy to understand! I appreciate it, man. Hope you post again soon!
I have closed face poles from the 80's the bale should be Stainless steel or copper and chrome. Now plastic and cheep steel. I've gust got new poles my son told me mine was old okay so got me new poles and got a tackle bags and put up the old Plano boxes. Everything new and cheep is good your just going to lose stuff. Good pick I would take ether one but Ugly Stick is the better one or Abu Garcia IKE for around $32 great stuff my Ugly Stick is from the 80's and still great working.
Very charming and helpful little video! Keep em up man! 😁 Sadly I can't look at a box of inline spinners without thinking of all the spinners I've built myself. 😅
Correct, no bobber or sinker needed. Just tie the inline spinner on by itself. Cast the inline spinner out and reel in just fast enough to keep the blades spinning. Just casting over and over again to different spots with an inline spinner. Best of luck fishing!
Hi! I don't know where you're located but check out this video of catching salmon right in the heart of my little town near Seattle! ua-cam.com/video/W85ivow1p0k/v-deo.html These are big fish!
I want to try this, but memories from childhood of poking my fingers on the hooks. It gave me a fear. Could i wear gloves or something as a beginner to prevent injuries until I’m more confident?
This must be in a small city or town because I don't see those prices at Walmart for those rods. I love the info provided for l about fishing, in general. I might be following this page as I'm looking into learning about fishing

CoolerKat 06 me too but yesterday i went fishing for the first time i don’t know if i did the fishing line correctly and it kept getting tangled each cast and had to keep cutting it and restarting and it kept doing that so i gave up with that if u know what i did wrong can you tell me

Nichole Reid I’m about to take my chance on this! Hope I catch one too
That's a cool story!
You caught more than I caught all year!
Good luck fishing out there, I've been fishing forever and I love seeing people try the sport
Nice.
I'm 28 and was never taught how to fish. Will be taking my 7 year old son to fish for the first time. Thanks for the tips.
Hopefully went well.

I don’t think it went well
Walmart should endorse you. Lol made me want to try fishing.
Its not hard iv tryed fishing when i was in middle school or in elamentry school its fun

I am an experienced angler and I was like...the worms...don't forget the worms. Basic. And those spinners, you just can't go wrong.
When the pro dorks give the 61 thumbs down you know they are envious as hell. You're never to old to learn if you learn to listen.
I love nonpretentious videos like yours that don't look snobby or look down on beginners. Bravo.
I just subscribed. I'm a broke cracka so Wal-Mart is my bass pro
Funny
Thanks a lot! I'm totally new to fishing, haven't been since my dad took me as a kid, but I want to get my kids into it. This will help a lot!
Love your practical videos.I am 63 and been using spincast reels my whole life. They may not look cool but I have caught a lot of nice fish and have eaten good. Keep up the good work.
Spincast can work well too. I actually caught a 50lb blue catfish earlier this year on a large spincast reel. Good luck fishing this summer!
Zebco is only been making the spincast for about 65 yrs + I guess the rust out so often

Very nice i love these. I did the $10 one $25 and $50 one, they are so fun to do.
Here’s a better tip.
Buy a rod and reel set up (Spinning preferably).
Take all the line off and go to you’re local tackle shop and they will spool you up for 3$.
Or watch a video and do it yourself 😂
luis Prieto the probability of you messing up as a beginner is high, might as well be experienced handling a rod and reel first.
Nah, I like to learn and do everything myself. I learned how to take apart and setup my own guitar last year, now I'm great at it. I'm going to learn how to set up my fishing gear and hunting bow this year.

I'm 14 and I wanted to try out fishing I
Got all this stuff and got a kayak and went fishing and I caught some pretty nice fish thanks a lot
you should consider doing videos where you go to parks and local ponds.
Buzz 35 absolutely
I agree, like vlog style
fished before but never really took it seriously. Watched this video and bought exactly what you bought. I used the inline spinner and caught a catfish for the first time. Thank you!
You answered literally every question I had.
Thank you! Fast forward to almost 2 years I can definitely recommend that bend ready2fish combo. Thanks a lot bro, this video really helped me.
I got the Ugly Stik combo for $29 at Walmart today.
Is it good for salt water fishing, of beaches or piers?
Mike Que I’m wondering the same, did you find out?
@@lucaspacheco3631 It doesn't say salt water use on it, but plenty of people have used them for salt water. Just keep it clean by rinsing it with fresh water and grease and oil it regularly.
Your the man dude, glad you take the time to teach beginners. Much respect.
I spit out my drink at the way he tossed the fish back at 5:30 😂😂, nice vid man gonna try it out🤙
LMFAOOOO
The south bend setup is a great little setup. Super fun to fight small bass on it. But I would recommend changing out the line for some trilene or trout sos. The original line has a lot of memory and gets tangled easily.
You made this so easy thank you wanna enjoy fishing for the first time in a week and needed info fast and on a budget 👏🏽
I was looking at that same ugly stick spinning combo at Walmart last week. Nice combo for $30.
J.T. Cooper I recently moved to a town that only had a Wal-Mart. I slayed 3-6 pound large mouth all day long last winter on that exact ugly stick combo. Just keep the reel oiled up nice and I'm pretty conident that $40 investment would last year's and year's.

I’ve watched googan squad for a long time and would love to fish but didn’t know how. I’ve watched your vids and understand why I can’t catch fish in the Ohio river where I am
I caught a 5lb smallmouth using that southbend reel on an old abu garcia i bought on a garage sale and both of them handled very well
Very helpful video! Thanks. 🙂 I used to fish all the time when I was younger, but it’s been 23 years and I have forgotten a lot of this stuff. Excited to bring my daughters fishing soon!
Great video..thank you very much.
I am 37 and just getting into a fishing hobby. I got a ugly stik and reel combo. Your video helped me to get a holistic understanding of the next steps.

hey man i might be super late but i searched up beginning tips and you came out and let tell you , you made me want to start fishing . god bless
I have the same combo heading back to Walmart to pick up those a few things you showed in the video thanks
The Ugly Stik is definitely a great rod and reel combo for beginners
This video was dope. I’m just picking up fishing as a hobby and this was the best video. Feel like I can do it!!!
The spinners are good place to start the bass crush those things and they’re easy to fish with.
Sorry I'm a little late to this video Zach but this is good for begginers and even intermediate fisherman so great vid Zach
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!
This video was great, and just what i needed. Just getting started fishing again now that my boys are a little older and want me to take them fishing. I feel so much better about knowing what we need to get started. Thank you so much and I love your channel.

Thanks bro need to get back into fishing and teach my 5 and 7 year old. I was eyeing that ugly stick, glad it’s a great option.
Been owing a ugly stick for a few years been my go to rod
I've got a gx2 uglystick with a abu garcia cardinal sx40 spinning reel and it's a great combo from Walmart
Im gonna try this for my first fishing session. Wish me luck
My 1st time planning a fishing trip with my brother and my son. This video really helped.
Thank you for posting, I’ve always had a fishing spot, and don’t know a thing about fishing. About to change that
Awesome video! I’m 31 and never fished before. Gonna stop at walmart soon. Thanks man!
I love everything outdoors but I haven't spent a lot of time fishing yet. Hoping that your tips will help me start a new hobby
Cheers. Just learning to fish and appreciate the information
this is my kind of gear, good job zack!
Thanks!

Thank you sir, great video. Want to start fishing never fished before, grea info
Very helpful video! Perfect for a beginner like me.
Very nice video, very informative.!
Thank you for this video! I’m glad the set is not too expensive
Thank you 😊 I just got a fishing pole
Very good video, thanks for the insight 4 years ago :)
Very good video. Quick, simple, straight to the point!
Just what I needed to watch... thank you! Walmart here I come!!!
Very charming and helpful little video! Keep em up man! 😁
Sadly I can't look at a box of inline spinners without thinking of all the spinners I've built myself. 😅
absolutely fantastic advice for beginners. exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!
Instead of the nail clippers buy a cheap knife for like $2 at Walmart if needed you can use it to cut line and possibly clean a small fish
nice video for a newbie here. can i shoot a question? so, when you use a spinner, you don't need a bobber and a sinker?
Correct, no bobber or sinker needed. Just tie the inline spinner on by itself. Cast the inline spinner out and reel in just fast enough to keep the blades spinning. Just casting over and over again to different spots with an inline spinner. Best of luck fishing!
Thanks! Just the information I was looking for.
That is so crazyyyyy! Those fish were huge! I just got my pole and license yesterday. Thanks for the tips!
Hi! I don't know where you're located but check out this video of catching salmon right in the heart of my little town near Seattle! ua-cam.com/video/W85ivow1p0k/v-deo.html These are big fish!
Thanks for posting .. on my way to get me that Ugly Stick!!
I have the same fishing pole and caught two rainbow trouts
Omg I understood every word he said just cos I've been playing Fishing Planet 😆
yooo great vid. like seriously amazing, thank you so much, been trying to find a good video for a while and this was perfect.
I want to try this, but memories from childhood of poking my fingers on the hooks. It gave me a fear. Could i wear gloves or something as a beginner to prevent injuries until I’m more confident?
If you want to catch the big bass, get a chatterbait. It works wonders.
what a nice video for fishing, explained everything so well. Great job young man.
so excited to try this, I found a new hobby!
Again... another great video. Great job!!
Thanks, best of luck fishing this summer!
This must be in a small city or town because I don't see those prices at Walmart for those rods. I love the info provided for l about fishing, in general. I might be following this page as I'm looking into learning about fishing
I caught a 11 pound catfish using the blue fox inline spinner
Thanks for taking the time to do this. You're awesome. My son loves it.
Thank you for the video! Can’t wait to fish & your right Walmart has great prices!
I started out a beginer fisherman im now in to big game fishing like catfish carp and bass
You the man bro!!!!!! u answered my questions perfectly!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
awesome!! i can’t wait to start out this year for my first time
Cool video man. Thanks for the tips. Excited to go fishing with my boys.
Great video! Going to get my fishing license and equipment soon:)
Dopeshit me to from Washington state
Excellent video. Very enjoyable to watch. Good content.
Honestly grew up fishing but recently moved out and just looking for good recommendations
I encourage anyone that is NEW to fishing to start on trout first.
All you need is at Walmart.
- Zebco Slingshot (Closed Face Reel)
- Powerbait
(Rainbow with Glitter)
* You Are Welcome! *
I've had some bad luck with Zebco closed-face reels. I could just be unlucky but I wouldn't recommend going quite as cheap for a first-time reel.
Thanks...I go fishing and idk what to use my friend lends me everything all set up
I have the same reel the combo at walmart
CoolerKat 06 me too but yesterday i went fishing for the first time i don’t know if i did the fishing line correctly and it kept getting tangled each cast and had to keep cutting it and restarting and it kept doing that so i gave up with that if u know what i did wrong can you tell me
Great lil video
Do you have a video on how to set up your pole? Like where the bobber weight on hook should be apart ?
Awesome video! Thanks a million!
Nice video. Thanks for the info!
Thx a lot you really have helped me 👍🏽
I got 2 fishing poles from Walmart last year Shakespeare brand and their awesome they were $20 each
