Unboxing videos are popular because people check them out in order to better help them decide if they want to purchase the product or service. Unboxing vidoes are wildly popular no matter the type of hobby or type of product. I personally like them.

Personally, I've probably spent 3-5X more time reading and watching videos than I have spent fishing for bass. I think there comes a point when you have to just get out there and learn via trial/error. What would probably help me the most is going to a location that is very active with bass. That way I absolutely KNOW I should be getting bit and if I'm not catching anything, it's user error. Unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating right now. Frankly, I don't see a lot of fish activity from other anglers at the reservoir either. So it's very possible that there are lower populations of bass than I hoped at my location. Or perhaps due to the colder weather, they just aren't active enough without knowing the honey holes within the water.

I'm running into the same situation personally. I've always bank fished and have never had issues pulling in decent cats. This year I decided to dive into bass for the first time and have had no success at two close by reservoirs. These reservoirs are suppose to be stocked with bass (among others). The second reservoir has some decent cover, specifically the very NW corner where there are tons of in-water tree trunks. I'm starting to think I have a "dead hand" when it comes to feeling a bass bite. lol Currently using a Fenwick HMG medium fast action spinning rod with a Pfueger Presidential 30, 10# PP Braid, and a 10# Seagaur RL leader. I've thrown spinners, cranks, chatters, and weightless senkos with no success. Thinking about trying to drop shot since that more closely resembles the tight line catfishing I do. Also starting to wonder if I would be better off going straight fluro to help feel the bite more. I kinda feel like the braid is giving me too much slack and I might be missing the bite from the very beginning.
