I lost a big musky at the end of Kenny were it goes into the Ohio river because of two of the mistakes he is talking about here I lost the same fish twice just because my pole is two short I had a Sevan foot Jordan Lee quantum which is light but I do alotof creek fishing which eight foot is almost over kill just because of the trees and the cast destance but where I was at when I lost the fish I could've been using my St croix rods there longer and have never let me down but the second thing he was right about I was slinging apurple horse hair grim reaper it got ten foot from the boat and nailed it well I jerked the hell out of it well he let go or I jerked it out but since I lost him I figured I'd just real on in well I b damned if the same fish just turned around and nailed it as it was coming out of the water and I gotto looking at the hooks well they were brand new and wasn't sharp enough to break your skin so I am going to take my crash Mullins bluegrass musky rod it's a7. 8 it's awesome in a creek but we're I'm wanting to get into bigger fish I'm going to hit some bigger Waterford the fall hopefully I'll get a good trade in I was looking at the shamonos because I'm trading a custom built rod I was going to see if I could get a med heavy and a heavy action 8 footers but they had shitty reviews I had one of the older ones and it was like fishing with a 2x4 so I'll hopfully find something I can trade for to were crash just sold them in his store there wasnt many made by St croix it's a awsome rodive reld in many on it I wore out a quantum smoke on it but I need some more powerful rods and sharper hooks u look at them hookson a buck tail and there huge it's nearly like taking a number 6 nail and trying to pull it threw a pine tree thanks for the video I figured this out to late I always threw plugs then I started slinging different stuff but this man is correct no pull ques if u got to get a 8 or 9 foot catfish stick I'd been better of with one of those than that damn Jordan Lee quantum it's leaving hear tmrw to thanks again

Diawa wilderness rods are 20 to 30 dollars. I've caught 20 pound catfish and stingrays bigger than a stop sign on it. Quantum 40 dollar reel. Best 60 dollar setup you could ever buy. as far as a Fishman who puts a whoopin on his rods. cheap, replaceable, but very reliable

I think maybe you can get a sharper hook by actually drawing the file toward you, going against the grain. Much like when you sharpen a knife. Otherwise you're left with that filing edge. I've found this to be true anyway. Love the insight. I'll be purchasing longer rods lol

Another mistake is the Lexa 400, had two from factory with worm paws snapping and worm gear sliding. Had another that would bow the pinion and drive gear outwards to the point the teeth didn't touch, causing drag to slip on tight cranks. Now I'm off topic.

Great video, I-m more of a casual fisherman and usually try to fish for walleye and catfish, but recently I found out that the mon river in southwestern pa near where I live has some musky in it and I-d love to start catching some. But thanks for the tips!

Anyone know of any documents proving that the stocking of trout or any other species will have a positive effect of musky size and or population? Trying to get my local forest preserve to get involved in the musky population

A good way to tell if your hook is sharp enough is to touch it against your fingernail. If it sticks, you're good. if it slides across your nail, it's not sharp enough. Cheers!

Would 8'6- be suitable as a utility rod for a bank fisherman. That's the size I keep coming back to. It's difficult to cast that longer rods in certain situations.
