2023 Ultralight Gear Recap [Rods, Reels, & Line]

2023 was another great year of ultralight fishing! Not only did I get out and catch a lot of fish, I was able to continue experimenting with a lot of various ultralight equipment. In today's video, I just wanted to recap some of my favorite setups for the year. In the past couple seasons, I have focused primarily on ultralight rods, but in this year's recap, I wanted to talk about rods, reels and line.

"A man only needs so many different fishing rods." You lost me right there. Unlike. Unsubscribe.😂

I discovered your channel a month or two ago, and didn't know much about UL finishing before that.

My son wanted to go bank fishing at a local park today, so instead of my usual setup, I borrowed my 6-year old's 4'6" starter rod and tied on a Trout Magnet worm on a 1/16 oz jig head. I pulled 4 decent bluegill and a tiny largemouth out of that shallow, muddy pond!

Great, informative videos... keep up the great work.

Suffix nano braid goes down to 2-3-4-6lb. I have the 6 and 10 and it’s been great.

It’s a good thing my wife wasn’t around when I was watching this, otherwise she’d be asking me why I have so many rods and reels when you’re saying you only need 3😆🤣

[ChrisUong.English]

Have you tried the expensive tippet they use for fly fishing? Like Orvis, scientific angler, rio, etc.or do you just stick with the fishing line?

Have you thought about purchasing and trying the phenix bfs classic spinning rod? I wonder how it compares to the dobyn sierra trout/pan.

[marceloamador]

Daiwa braid PE line is way smoother thsn the daiwa grand braid, or just try any PE line

[rolyskirv]

Stick to daiwa and Shimano, maybe Okuma but Shimano and daiwa are the best. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Good video also by the way, keen for the next one👍

When you're using 6lb braid, you're not talking 15lb braid with a 6lb equivalent diameter. You're talking 6lb braid with a 1.5lb diameter equivalent?

Have you ever ran St Croix rods? I know alot of people in WI love em. If so how do ya like em for Ultralight?

[lementime]

[mohdsheflee]

[rickerer]

“A man only needs so many fishing rods.” Lies. Lies. Lies. Damn lies!!! A man needs ALL the fishing rods. 😂

[lexxzeanders]

U should try shimano stradic 1000 …. Good reel for ul games

[davidrauschenbach]

Thanks for the great information especially the addition of lines. Hope your family and you have a wonderful Christmas! As far as reels go found great deals on outgoing reels! Especially the Daiwa Tatula Lt!

[gleamtarrest]

Excellent vid. You absolutely have to try 2023 Diawa Legalis 2000 sp 2k size but it is no bigger than a 1k size.. the 2000 sp size has a super drag and the 4.8:1 gear ratio helps work those light jigs really slow & keeps it in the water column longer.

This is by far the best YouTube channel out there. Love your content and all of your products. Hope you meet you one day and maybe get the change to fish with you. Keep up the awesome work brother!! God bless and tight lines!!!

TFO has the Trout-Panfish II out now if you haven’t tested that one.

[GhettoFabulous]

Could you do the daiwa d-shock UL rod & reel combo?

I bought their 5'6 light combo only for the rod. And i notice the rod action and sensitivity is the same as UL rod.

I have been building my BFS arsenal over the past several months and have 3 baitcaster rods from Dobyns with Shimano reels. However, I have been using Fenwick HMG spinning rods outfitted with Dawia Tatula reels. All of them have V2 Power Pro braid, either 8 or 10 pound. These will be used for pond or out on the kayak.
My local tackle shop is starting to get more of the smaller BFS lures in lately also. I picked up some more lures from Eurotackle last week. Landed a 3.57 lb bass Friday using the Eurotackle crankbait on the 7' Dobyns baitcaster rod. It was a blast.
