Are you going to try ultralight fishing?

I love your addiction to UL fishing. So happy you’re enjoying it my guy, thanks for the shoutout! Keep on making that drag scream 🥰

Ultra-Light fishing is more fun than the law should allow for. I got into it back in the very early 80's when it was all the rage and never quite abandon it ever since. It makes catching Sand Bass and 2 lbs plus Bass a whole lot of fun!

My wife and I just went dink fishing for the last 4 days on our kayak/camping/fishing trip. We slayed them! A 1/32oz yellow/orange jig head paired with a orange/yellow curlytail grub with a beetle spin blade attached caught everything! We were amazed at how fast, and fun dink fishing was! We are definitely keeping this in our tackle boxes from now on. Thanks Jeff!

Caught around a 24 inch walleye on ultralight yesterday, using the 13 fishing defy silver rod, 6lb line. Was a great fight! Great video, keep up the good work.

I go with an ugly stick elite 7’ ultralight spinning rod medium fast action, penn fierce III 1000 reel, 6lb braid mainline and a 2/4/6 lb fluorocarbon leader depending on the situation. Absolutely loving ultralight fishing because I’m teaching my son how to fish with his ugly stick dock runner setup (I swear im not an ugly stick shill lol) and it’s nice to be able to match what he’s fishing for. I’m usually a saltwater fisherman because I live on the coast and love surf fishing and jetty fishing, so it’s nice to be able to target these smaller freshwater species and still get a fun fight out of them. Good bonding and teaching experience with the boy and a surprisingly addictive way to fish lol.

Agree with everything in this video. I always have my UL setup on hand, it's so fun especially when the big ones aren't biting.

Literally bought a couple colors of everything from mule fishing this morning the little one is super excited to open her stuff

You and online outdoorsman convinced me on the ultralight game. I picked up a quantum combo from Dick’s Sporting Goods and have been loving it.

I prefer a rod at least 6 ft. Makes it so you can whip a light lure further. If you bank fish it might be a problem, but works great from a boat. Big guides and more guides help with distance too. Reel not too tiny, light is better, but too small spool is bad for wind knots. One thing about ultralight is you won't get a sore arm fishing all day! I much prefer spinning, longer casts always. I only use revolving spool reels for heavy salt water.

I'm mostly fishing ultra light nowadays. I find it easier to fish through the weeds that are abundant at the moment, it's lighter to move around and I have everything in my vest or attached to it and I seem to catch more with everything scaled down but I still catch the odd big perch. Ultra light lures are really cheap as well.

Since I've began UL fishing I haven't had the urge to use my other poles lol
I'm using the TFO 6'6 UL rod and the Kastking zepher SFS 1000 with 6lb braid.
Each panfish you catch is like catching a monster every time.. so much fun.

I caught my PB largemouth on a yo-zuri pins minnow in the 50mm size, fighting a 6 pounder on an ultralight set up is something else

[nicholashubert]

Awesome video. In Colorado it is very tough fishing all the pressured ponds. Started rolling only ultralight couldn’t be happier I did. It is a lot of fun catching dinks when no one else is getting anything!

[bryanmasters]

Love the ultralite and finesse style of fishing! Thanks for sharing!

[kkomedykking]

my bfs setup is a haibo steed on a kuying teton 6’6 2-8g and i can comfortable cast a 1/32 oz jig on it. if you want to cast lighter lures on bfs gear use a shorter lighter rod so it’ll load up that light bait. great video👍🏻

[terribleatfishing]

I am addicted to my ultra light and BFS set ups. TOTALLY ADDICTED! Kastking BFS Zephyr on my Shimano Sensilite rod and ultra light is a Kastking Zephyr 1000 on a Kastking Resolute UL rod. Just ordered from Mule...looking forward to panfish fishing with them

[chrisyork]

I love ultralight fishing, have for a long time. Pretty much half of my tackle/ rods and reels is ultralight or light. Many bass waters here are littered with yellow perch, pickerel and fallfish. Catching a 20+ inch pickerel or a 2+ lb smallie on ultralight gear is great fun, I don't care who you are lol.

I caught a 2lb 16” smallmouth bass on my 7 foot TFO ultralight and 6lb straight braid with a 1/16 rooster tail and a 14” slab of a crappie on a 1/80 mule jig and mule horsefly… those 2 are a couple of my very favorite UL catches.
That horsefly on an super light jig drifts and falls so slow and natural through the water fish slam it

[seizedcarcass]

Finally got my hands on the gulp minnow heads. Hoping I can use the for tipping spinners and jigs and maybe by itself on some of the mini trout magnet hooks.
