I've just ordered myself a $40 telescopic rod from Amazon and we're
testing out if it's actually worth $40 what the capability of this rod is and
have a little bit of fun with it
So collapsed it's very portable, look at that, real small keep it in your backpack...
keep in your car but when you extend it gets to 9 feet long and I love these
kind of rods because I can just have this with me, I can have it on me, I can fish
at any time it's called the "so-gai- ylong" I don't know how to pronounce it it's
called, I'll include a link below. We're gonna be doing two kinds of
fishing with it to see if it is a good overall rod. First
kind of fishing we're doing is we're gonna be throwing plugs and then we're
going to be trying throwing some bait with it. Has anybody used this kind of
telescopic rod before? I've ordered mine off of Amazon for
thirty-forty dollars I'm wondering what your guys experience is to comment that
below. We're here with my brothers my brother Sean my brother Brian.
That was crazy I just saw that! oh there they are. There's a ton of stuff jumping.
All these fish are jumping.
What? This is crazy! I've never seen this.
Yes, I'm already recording.. do you think there might be too big?
I need a smaller plug.
Something hit that.
On.
He He! On the topwater!
Calm yourself
All right so the trick with these when it hits it...don't set the hook
you just reel. When you set the hook it could pull it right out of its mouth.
This rod is not good for using lures like this...it's just too floppy. I don't have any
control over my lure. Using a Deadly Dick now.
(full volume whisper) What??
Yeah!! What are you throwing? I'm throwing a deadly dick. Which is just basically a
piece of metal right? Yep it's just a piece of metal. Caught a nice little striped bass.
So hows the rod feeling?
Feels shaky it's not a sturdy rod by any means... it's not good for
what kind of fishin I'm doing right now. What happened? It took it.. it took my
whole thing...I tie.. I think it just cut it right off look..
During times like this when it's a feeding frenzy.. you need to have reliable
gear you don't want to have to be worrying about missing fish and
That's what's happening to me right now
They came in in a second and they left in a second and I was not equipped or
ready to do that. I was just introducing the rod and then I hear and hear crazy
splashing over there I didn't tie up correctly or anything
and I ended up losing one of my favorite top water plugs because I didn't tie it
right. This worked well but this was the only thing that actually works well. This
is probably a quarter ounce/half ounce. The deadly dick worked well. This would
not work. The rod is not stiff enough. It's not a great overall lure rod
Definitely not a good top water rod. Now the sun's going down we're going to
settle, we're gonna settle in and do some bait fishing now. Just chill.
Chill
Sean, you have the luscious flowing locks of....
John Snow.
Haha!
(Sorry, forgot to put an audio track here! )
Something on this one!
Woah!
Ooo thats a big one!
Rod is holding up.
The rod is so long!
Do you need a net?
Yeah.
Oh almost!
Alright! That was a big one. That rod bend.That's nice it felt nice it felt really
good to hook that. Need pliers? Actually yeah why not?
Channel cat?
Channel cat.
Shaking its head alot? Yeah it is. This is not the telescopic rod this is just our
fun rod. This is just the bait rod.
Hello you. I'm afraid the rod will break.
I think its a cat. Its a nice cat.
We got worms on here trying to catch spot.
Thats a big one! haha!
Feel it first Sean. that's it got it all right slow down
Looks like its on, set it!
Got it.
Alright, slow it down.
Rod feeling sturdy? Sturdy enough.
Alright Bryan! There we go.
Ima take a picture of that one.
AHHH. Its storming. The consensus: This doesn't work well for lures. This works well for
bait fishing and that's it! We gotta get out of here is storming real bad.
