The Shakespeare micro series is a good rod. I broke mine, my fault not the rods, and have caught 5lb spotted bass on them with 4lb test. Great UL rod for the money. It will do the job.

Fishing for Crappie the other day, got a nice tug on a small swim bait, i set the hook and low and behold it was a large bullfrog. First time i ever had a frog bite a lure. Enjoy your channel.

Feels like old times when I started watching you were wading small creeks

[markreece]

I love it when you get back to the basics

[williamduke]

I have some nice rig$, and I have some old slow glass rods and Mitchell reels I bought 60 years ago. I’ve had a lot of fun. This video was a blast.

[micahgrim]

Lovin this one! These are what drew me to your channel, John!

[FishinPhysician]

I really fell in love with fishing when I started watching your channel and learned about the Trout Magnets. I think that was six years ago, now? Time flies

[maryannegreenslade]

I enjoyed this one John, Love it when you catch multiple species 🐟🎣🐟🎣

[stanleyackley]

Love doing that in the spring, for big males.

Here in NH they just opened my local dam for the Winter, and the base now has a few pools teaming with fish. Temps surprisingly went up to the 70s the other day, and I managed to catch 13 fish, including my first Rock Bass! Great way to fishing off the season for me.

Love fall fishing, so nice to be done with the heat, nice creek fishing!

I really got back into ultralight pan-fishing in the last year. Did a lot of it with noodlely fiberglass rods when I was a kid. Pflueger made good reels then, as they still do now. Good stuff man👍

I have a rig that cost close to $500 between the rod and reel, and that rig you were fishing with today is actually pretty good for the $$$ you spend on it. You can still really enjoy a fishing day with equipment that doesn't break the bank, as long as the reel is decently smooth and has a good drag, you can make good and accurate casts with the rod, and the rod has enough sensitivity that you can enjoy the taps, the bite and hook up, and the bend of the rod and the pull on your line. That looked like you enjoyed yourself pretty well! (Nice to see Chris in one of your videos, even briefly. I recognized his spot from his videos.) I usually thread all my Trout Magnets (any soft plastic, actually) with the lighter side down. I feel that more accurately imitates the color patterns of all out baitfish. Dark on top and lighter colored on the bottom. I'm looking to buy the Bass Pro Micro lite 6' 6" 2 piece while I'm visiting my mother-in-law this Thanksgiving. I want to leave it at her house so I have a decent rod to fish with whenever I get a chance to visit. Better than trying to take a rod with you on a jet! The reesl fit in my carry on camera back pack and I can even bring a couple reels spooled with different size line. A little fanny pack with some Trout Magnets, Zman LarvaZ's, Bobby Garland itty bits, etc., some forceps, line cutters and 2 spools of SOS 4 lb and 6 lb. mono for leader, and I'm good to go!!! Less than a $100 investment to leave at her house and a whole lot less of any hassle on the jet. That jumping bluegill was epic! Blessings!

Definitely. My favorite kind of fishing never know what you're gonna catch. But when you do start catching them They just don't quit.. A friend of mine used to tell me whenever you hook yourself.
You're hooking a big land sucker. Great video. John, I want to do this so bad.

Gotta love the micro series. I have a light 7ft that is my go-to panfish float rig, but I’m actually considering using it for a bass drop shot rig. I’ll know by this weekend.

[brianathern]

That was a great video and grass roots basic. I love fishing with ultralight spinning gear and some of my older and cheaper stuff are near and dear. I have at least one Shakespeare Micro rod and cheaper to moderate priced reel. Once my buddy and brother Ricardo finds a newer fisherman getting started we send it to its forever home and I pick up another one. Kids or adults it doesn't matter because they all have a blast. And I second the motion for you and Chris to do a little head to head ultralight fishing challenge. Loser cooks and cleans them is my added twist. Blessings John

[heatherlandskron]

great video and great fishing!! look like you both had a great time fishing you and Chris.!! love your videos and channels!! have a good day and week. take care and god bless.

[JulieDeOutdoors]

I love watching you catch sunfish, they are my favorite to catch myself.

[CopleyintheCreek]

You and Chris should do a 2 hour 1v1 micro derby. 3 or 5 smallest fish. Winner buys dinner

[ipokefan]

Man, I’ve been using all kinds of trout magnets all summer and haven’t caught anything except for smallmouth. I’ve seen sunnies follow magnets but they never go for them, and perch just aren’t interested in the slightest. I’ll have to try it again once the water cools down some.
