Our BEST Bass Fishing Rod & Reel Setups for The 2025 Season!

Every winter we load up on new gear while we wait for the ice to melt and then we get right to business testing rod, reel and line combos that we think will deliver max value and performance. This year we’ve got an insane set of combos we absolutely cannot wait to cast and catch with! Kayak, boat or bank it doesn’t matter there is a fishing combo that will put you in a position to catch fish.

Who put together the better set of combos and what higher end spinning reels do you want to see us test?

  1. The ark invoker 6’6 ML 1/16-1/2oz with the daiwa px bf70 is what I’m looking at for a bfs combo. Interested in seeing your guys conclusions on some of these setups, especially the rise series

  2. Not impressed with Cashion. I have broken 4 of their rods, and replaced 2. Way more fragile than any other rods.

  3. Iโ€™m
    Having trouble trying braid to flouro because of some nerve problems. I have wasted money on braid and took it off because I canโ€™t tie the knots I used to. My wife was trying to get me motivated and bought me a nice ultra light set up, I LOVE ultralight !Can you recommend a line that is good for crystal clear water trout ?Im having so much trouble tying braid that I went back to Trilene XL, with a flouro leader, itโ€™s a hair easier than braid to flouro. I orderd SOS 2 & 4 lb test, but then found out you needed a leader with that too, it hasnโ€™t gotten here and I ordered that PLine Hybrid 2& 4 lb. Itโ€™s so bad, I might bring that awesome reel and rod back and quit. I was hoping that Flouro hybrid would be good with out a leader.I learn a lot from you videos , thank you

  4. uhhh you dont buy a vanford but a rod of 300 dolar yessss that rod you showed of nsx 294 dolar uhhh you put your 60dolar reel on that ooh yes
