Hey man thanks so much!!! Honestly. Those donkey tails are the best lure I’ve used for multi species fun. I just got off the water this weekend tying to catch crappie out of my simple plastic bass raider boat… I caught two SLABS but the bass and bluegill could not leave it alone. Great pond lure 100%
Outdoor angler? aka Fish Anything got me into ultralight fishing! Good to see you collaborating with him! Great looking lures! And looked likr you could catch fish all day long, no matter what!
Just subscribed. I like JDM rods it’s just a lot better quality built. You just convinced me to buy this rod based just what I wanted to used it for. Thanks for a thorough review.
Thanks for the support and kind words man! I eat sleep and breathe this stuff. I’ve been working a LOT lately but I’m still researching and experimenting. Glad that my schedule is clearing up soon to really dial in more videos!
Hey mate, recently stumbled across your channel and reviews, great content! I haven't seen any new uploads in a while, hope all is well. Cheers from Australia 👍
I have been thinking about getting a Cardiff!!! What’s your favorite lure for that rod? I want a Cardiff bc that line is just a shimano staple for the light tackle game!
@@TheUltralightLife awesome I have it paired with a 22 soare 2000 literally feels like a feather I’m thinking bout ordering another I don’t wanna put this thing down lol
I saw your vids in suggesting videos. We south east asian are really love ultraligth but not like that kind fishing. We use ultraligth or sul or xul set to fish wahoo snapper or any fish that behind the limit.. we dont exced 6lbs of rating of braid at max 4ply or we use ester line for pulse extreme gaming.. hoping to see your nxt video to hunt some 3to4kilo of grouper or snapper using that set up. MANTAP!!!😊
This is great! Anyone have recommendations for a sensitive rod for jigging and "bottom bouncing" in little streams with a 1/32 oz crayfish imitation? I do a lot of ultralight stream fishing and I want very badly to find a rod that is both sensitive and has 1/32oz right in the sweet spot for casting and jigging. I'm not a fan of slow action noodles. That's why I came here 😅
They make this exact rod in short options like 5’4 and 6’0 that would be a great option! I have a few Yamaga blanks rods I need to test out to see if they are money for this or not. I have about 5 rods and 4 reels yet to test/use!!
Thanks! My honest answer is to avoid this model for trout. Stick with the daiwa presso lines of rods for trout! They are so awesome and multiple price points
Will I notice a significant difference when switching from a Dobyns Trout and Panfish rod with a Shimano Ultegra reel and 6 lb Daiwa J-Braid Grand 8X to a Shimano Soare XR rod with a Shimano Vanquish reel and Varivas Infinity 3, given that both rods have solid tips?
That’s a very good question! It’s the best of both worlds in comparing those two actions, I feel like it is extra fast in my hand by the way it receives bites, but it definitely has a more parabolic bend once setting the hook. Have you ever used an “ajing” style Japanese rod? They are very unique in this respect. What would you like to use it for?
@@donsavanhbounlord4528 hey man! Trout magnet and inline spinners like rooster tails were my go to for the longest. I’m going to try the mule fishing donkey tail jrs in my trout waters. Yes I do fish for them! Mainly in the spring and fall. But really those baits and some hard baits were my bread and butter. Very limited on soft plastics for trout. The magnets were hard to beat.
@@TheUltralightLife right on! I have some trout magnets, spinners, cast master’s and some 1.75” paddle tails. I’ve never used trout magnets for trout before only for blue gills. Those Donkey tail jr’s looks bad ass. I’m going to have to get me some. Thanks for the vids. I didn’t know what Ajing was. Lol. I want to get me a SUL rod. I’m still doing a little research. I’m still trying to figure out the metric system the rest of the world uses. Lol.
🤠👊🏽 keep up the good work dude! Thanks for working with Mule 🧡
Thanks so much for everything Ethan. What the industry needs 💯
Any discount codes we can use?
This is the second time I saw Mule fishing recommended. Will definitely check them out. The product looks amazing.
They have the best ultralight lures. No joke
Ethan is awesome and makes GREAT baits!
Absolutely!!
Glad your back brother!
Thanks Mike I really appreciate! Look forward to all your stuff to come too! Hope that shoulders doing well
Took a gamble on a Soare xtune mb because I have always wanted a travel rod. Oh boy I’m glad I did.
As always good fishing brother. You turned me onto Mule Fishing. I’m gonna have to get me some Donkey tail Jr for my local ponds.

Beautiful rod & setup ❤
Thanks!!
I’ve heard good things about those baits!
They are straight up awesome!
Damn bro. We're on the same wavelength! I use Mule jigs all the time. My favorite is the burro bug and the horse fly. Just outstanding
Shimano makes my favorite rod. That ultralight looks sweet.
Shimano never drops the ball brother thanks!
God bless you my fellow OR RN angler 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪

I juat got a Shimano cardiff nx 5'4 ul from jdm tackle heaven and paired it with the vanford 2000 its fantastic!

Wow really nice view. 🌄. Thanks for Sharing. Feel wanna join you fishing 🎣

So glad to hear that!!! How are you liking it?

Please add close up image of your rod from top to bottom so we can clearly see every details.

Amazing set-up you have there!!! You mentioned you're using a Daiwa Presso line is that a braid or ester line? Thanks
Hey! This was actually a nylon (mono) line!
Do you like the soare ss more than your daiwa air AGS? Looking forward to your Yamaga blanks reviews!!
The daiwa air ags 510xul is my top rod by far!!! Me too I look forward to using them a lot!
This is great!

Sweet combo. Great video.
I'm curious to see what your surprise reel is. Shimano Vanquish or Daiwa Airity or Exist SF.
Haha even more of a surprise! Neither of those. Not quite exist level!
Thanks!!
Awesome video! How will it do for trout in your opinion?

3, given that both rods have solid tips?
Absolutely the jdm setup will blow the dobyns out of the water and I’m a big dobyns fan. Have had over 20 of their bass rods
Does that rod feel more like a extra fast action or fast action?

Great job with the review. Killed it...surely you are using a teleprompter...you were reeling off info on the rod like a seasoned salesperson
Sometimes I get lucky 😂 thanks brother glad to be back
Awesome vid and review. What is the reel?
Hey thanks a lot! it was the shimano miravel 1000!
@@TheUltralightLife do you fish for trout? If you do. Do you have any recommendations for soft plastic baits? I only have trout magnets. TIA

anything similar to this with backbone but under 6ft?
I would get the same exact soare ss ajing model but in the shorter length!!! It’s awesome
Im in malaysia. How can i get it ? 😢
I order rod’s from JDM Tackle Heaven, Digitaka and Asian Portal Fishing. Do any of those ship to Malaysia?
Какая здесь катушка?
I know you have to have Mule Fishing Horse Fly's by now, right? Brim killers! ...and Crappie. ..tell me you've seen i fish channel.
Yes to both inquiries! Victors cool and the horse flys are some magnets! 🧲
The rod design is bullshit. I want a full handle like my rods I now use . These are for pretty boys😂
There are a lot of factors and engineering put into this design, yet none to please “Tom-s8y2u” apparently
