Are you going to try ultralight fishing?
If you send me a rod 😁
Maybe lol
Ultralight or light fishing is 75% of my gear.
Oh yeah! Just ordered a Daiwa Alphas and Megabass Hyuga bfs setup. Can't wait to give it a try 😁
I’ve wanted to but I’d need a cheap rod because my normal one just snapped. $130 down the drain
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 🥰
🙌🔥
Ayyyy ;)
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.
what length rod do you use?
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!
Yes!
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.
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.
Love the ultralite and finesse style of fishing! Thanks for sharing!
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 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
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.
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👍🏻
Yes, very good video I'm definitely going to start doing this. I mean this weekend maybe now I'll start catching some fish. Been waiting for a video like this.
Literally bought a couple colors of everything from mule fishing this morning the little one is super excited to open her stuff
Did you have any luck with any specific one?
@@UsnRoberts horsefly is always a good one and the minnow
Loving the Defy Silver!! Running the 7ft rod with a Piscifun Flame 2000 reel.
Love BFS fishing. I throw the Dobyns 700C paired with a Daiwa Pixy68 SPR... Great combo 🔥
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.
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!
I have been ultralight fishing for years. I can always out fish people with light pole and light line. Sometimes I use a LONG (IE:12 foot) floppy pole as well with 2-4 pound test line. Lots and Lots of fun. I have never used a BFS Casting reel yet. I am working on building a rod specially for that purpose and will use it this year (In West Michigan)
Dude I love ultralight fishing, always have my ultralight in the truck ready lol. Great video 👍🏻
Thanks browski, just got my first ultra light setup so I really needed an tutor on this
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.
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 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
This answered many questions for me man. Thanks!
Another good old skool (heavier) UL lure is something like the Mister Twister/Johnson Beetlespin rigs. Great for pulling bigger fish off a weedline.
Thank you very much for the interesting video. I wish you a great fishing trip!
Oh dear… again more stuff to make hubby buy ;) My Tahoe is getting full!
I love ultralight fishing!
I have not fished Ultralight in years! I have three rigs that I just went through last week inspecting. one I will have to get my kids on.
I use vintage ultralight gear, Penn 716, 716z, 420ss on vintage Eagle Claw Featherlite rods. My baitcaster is a 40 year old Ryobi micro left hand. Go to lure around my part of VA is silver or black rooster tails, small cranks, and light jigs.
I use 2 or 4lb fluorocarbon line.
Thanks so much for the video and all you do, just got me some mule products, can't wait to get them and try them out with my new DEFY 6'6" ul silver and i paired it with a pflueger President pressp225x, newbie to the channel and now subscribe, thanks again.
I use the salmo pro finesse 3-14g rod with a kastking summer 500 reel and mostly inline spinners. I fish Uk waters
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
It's always funny for me watching ultra light videos cause in my state (New Mexico) trout is the most common fish with or without other species in the same pond lake or rivers/streams and a lot are stocked only with trout or catfish so you just have to run ultra light if not doing bait for trout at least. To get after the few places with like bluegill though these tips are nice. Also the rooster tails, small spoons, and like aglia in line spinners are widely sold here because that's what trout will hit usually and I've found more so than bait.
Cool review bro ultra light fishing is awsome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing
Baits look awesome
UL fishing is the best. Just got the Horse Fly and taking them out tomorrow!
Smacked some blue gill and a couple dink bass today on the horse fly in pasture fire and black!
Ultralight is my favorite type of fishing! Hard to fish much else these days. Always getting on at least some nice panfish and occasionally some great bass! Mule fishing is fantastic!
I think the one problem with ultra light fishing is if the water has a bit of a current or is pretty deep. I find it hard to catch anything if the water is running pretty quickly, usually catch just as the lure hits the water when it's like that.
Great video man
I love my defy silver rods.
thanks buddy
Nice vid
Try the Yozuri Ail Goby (gold/black), it sinks fast and has an independent moving tail and a wide side to side you never seen. Your jaw will drop. You could burn it but it will turn on its side, but very attractive to lockjawbass hugging the shore .
I’ve recently ventured into the ultra light world and think it’s funny that I ended up with the same Zephyr & Sensilite combo. I’ll be honest, it’s been really hard for me to adjust to the ultra light BFS rigs that are truly light weight. The mini cranks, mini jerkbaits and that plopper you have work fine but it’s impossible for me to get a single 1/32 jig head to go where I want it on this set up and I’m really glad you pointed that out as it was driving me mad. These other BFS channels are always able to bomb out 1g trout magnets and I just don’t have that touch yet. I’ll have to stick to an ultra light spinning rod for that.
All about dialing it in. But also the sensilite is too stiff
Tfo 7 foot trout rod diawa spinmatic diawa presso uglystick elite I love ultralight rods and compact reels
Happy fishing master
Been UL fan longtime & got g/kids into it now So Much Fun every fish is a challange also ;)
We use a super mini float w/jig rig!! Keep the bottom tangles fm happening also. Hard 2 find the original cork float's fm long ago. Also Use 4lb mono seems 2b afforidble & works well Share hints alsways my Motto ;)
Some of the most fun a guy can have mule jigs and donkey tails are amazing 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Been doing ultralight fishing since -98 somewhere. Still having and using the rod I bought back then, a Shakespeare ugly stik lite 5ft. However here in Sweden it's a pain to find baits and gear for it, seems almost no one likes it 😔
Dude love the vid, what other reels would you pair the zephyr???
I have a super cheap ice fishing setup (HT Ice Blue 36"). I might pull the reel off of it, and throw it on my new 5'6" ultra-light rod, and see what happens.
Might just do that 😊
I love ultralight fishing I do it on the ocean for lingcod and rock fish with a trout rod
WOW!!!!! That impresses me.
That chartreuse 1/32 oz. Mule jig with a black Donkey Tail Jr. is money. I'll slam fish on that all day every day.
I just toss spinners , if fly fishing isn't working. Mepps black furry is a slayer, I caught a solid 20 inch cutt throat, on a drift in a shallow stream. But also catch 30 lb chum on my 6wt, just now got a 4wt and two mid nineties diawa, full cork , sliding Fuji reel seat 7 , 7 1/2 foot ultralights.
I got that same ultralight rod in 7ft
Hey just incase you didn't know, a 2000 Daiwa is a 1000 body with a 2mm larger spool diameter
Ethan really makes ultra light fishing looks fun
I love him and his products are awesome. Love mule jigs
@@CoreyL984 I haven't tried it yet. I'm in the same position as Ethan right now lol
Nice Fishing Pole!
Thanks
Ive caught avariety of fish with that lil donkey tail jr bass bluegill crappie yellow perch.
I have the exact same setup and love it! What would you use line-wise on this, as far as flouro? I'm currently running it with 4lb mono but thinking about moving to flouro. Great info, thank you!
I tried 8 lb braid to 6 lb fluoro and I love it!
@@aaanglers Sweet! I'm giving that a try right away, thanks man! 👊
Guy's im going to recommend an AliExpress braid,is the ashconfish branded and is so good is not joke, don't shed color,is super supple and awesome to makes knots and don't fade or absorb too much water
I love dinks!
Whats the Whopper plopper you have tide on looks awesome
The whopper plopper 60 size
I just got in a tatula 100 and 150 not too long ago and working on getting that set up as my ultralight big casting rig. You mentioned the BFS, would one of the two that I'm setting up work the same?
They should work. Bfs is just made to specifically cast light lures
In-line spinners are so under rated. People don't realize "old school" stuff still kills em!
Rooster tails 👍🏾. They have their place.
I mostly fish the stockers in the Northern California lakes. They hang out a few feet from the banks so mini jigging is what really works.

Kastking sfs zephyr
2lb xxx izorline all the way through.
Sierra slammer crappie tubes.

Check out the Aether from Sixgill... quickly became my favorite ultralight rod. It is more expensive but they offer bogo deals a few times a year. Keep an eye out and pick up a few for you and Paul.
St. Croix 7 foot panfish rod
Just curious how you pick people for your live feeds. I’m a kayak angler from upstate NY and huge wacky rig angler. I also have a RUclips channel but I’m just a little fish in a big ocean at this point
We pick awesome people with good vibes 😂 hit us up and let us know what you bring to the table!
@@aaanglers awesome ultimately I’m all about growing the sport of kayak fishing and fishing as a whole. Plus promoting different brands I’m pro-staff for a few companies Enigma fishing Venom Lures Screwy Lewy just to name a few. leatherstockingangler is my RUclips and Instagram But I do like watching You and Paul your videos are entertaining and you crack me up sometimes. Plus I’ve talked with the owner of Xcite Baits. Awesome down to earth kind of guy. So that’s me man. Just a fishing guy from upstate NY. Not far from the baseball hall of fame and some really good fisheries
Thank you for this! Just finding it as I start to understand venturing into an ultralight rig.
My question, on the ultralight, why 5'6" as opposed to 6'6" or even 7'0"? I've always tended to like longer rods up in the bass (medium or medium-heavy) spectrum, so just curious since I'll only be starting with 1 rig...
Better for wading in rivers, that’s the main reason
@@aaanglers makes total sense, and thank you for responding! I'm going to stick with a 5'6 to start as a close buddy who I fish with on a boat says it'll work just fine off the boat too!
Just found a ultra light spinning combo in my garage didn’t even know I had it. 🤔
🙌🔥💯
Bass trout chubs bluegills ultralight fishing
Hey man! Thinking of getting some type of panfish rod for all species on sunfish and crappie, small bass, etc. Now i know that this video is about Ultralight rods but how would a Light power rod do. Mostly thinking of getting that because when i fish crappie jigs tend to hook bigger bass half the time. I dont want a rod that just cant move the bass but i still want a great fight. Looking to throw 1/64-1/8 ounce jigs. Would a light be able to do this?
You would need an ultralight or even a feather light to get away with 1/64 oz. I believe the TFO Panfish Pro II comes in those options. Also we have an ultralight dropping with Monsterbass this fall that will cast 1/32 oz and lower.
How do mule and Z man act when in box. I know they are similar. But I can wanna combine a couple of boxes
They eventually melt, but can play together for a short time
Question? Can you use a ice rod combo ? Yes I live in Florida.
Sure, or like an ugly stick dock demon
Triple surgeons knot prevents fluorocarbon knot failure
What action will get you a farther cast? Medium fast or light fast?
Depends on the rod, reel and line. With a good reel, light small diameter line and a whippy rod, you can get some good distance on light lures. We like Varivas BFS line to get the smaller diameter and good strength. All of that aside, if you are doing ultralight you really need an Ultralight or light rod.
I can’t find the defy silver in 5’6” shortest I find is 6’6”. Any experience with that length or a good alternative?
6'6 would be totally fine. I now have a 7 ft ultralight panfish II from tfo that I love.
Should you use a spinner or a baitcaster for ultralight fishing? Also why not use a baitcaster for ultralight? And do they even make baitcaster setups for ultralight? Thanks for the help.
Spinning is preffered. They make baitcasters called BFS
Spincast ultralight is the bomb
UL means more action. If you don't have a long time to fish each session just downsize your gear.
Whats the reason for running braid if you are doing 9ft leader? No hate just curious
sensitivity, easy casting, visibility
This is a good video but your didn’t explain that it’s was your set up that doesn’t allow you to throw those tiny 1/32 lures. Because it’s is very possible with that kastking reel lo a lighter power rod. Good information overall
is there a reason why ultra light spinning reel with 500size max drag 3kg or below were more expensive than 1000s/2000size reel?
Depends on the reel. Same brand/model should not be more expensive.
Would you recommend the sensalite spinning rod?
Never used it, so I’m not sure
New to ultralight. Where are you getting your tackle from ?
mule fishing
What is the Braid company you have on your spinning rod?
Power Pro
I have an okuma celilo 9', buddy has an 8'. He is able to cast about maybe 10 feet further. But will a 7' go even further?
I don’t think so
when I go fishing I carry 3 box of lures but only 1 lure I used.. hahahaha
Can you plz link the shimano rod i really want to get it for cristmas
Shimano sensilite, i got mine at fish usa
Did u get those fish on the wall custom made or bought? And how much did it cost the one me and my son got was $300 for a remade peacock bass of the pic of the fish we caught
Those are like a really old pottery piece from my Grandfather
@@aaanglers wow blessings bro🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 that taxidermy fish is nice tho if you ever had one you don’t want lmk I’ll buy it?.
Have you tried the Tsurinoya Dark Wolf Ultra S50? Any thoughts 👍 👎 ?
Have not tried it yet
@@aaanglers
Thanks for the reply.
Seems real popular over the Zephyr reel.
It looks like they improved the brake system on the newer release this year, will have 2 try and find the article, post, FYI.
I would think a magnetic brake system would be problematic with the reduction of metal in the spool creating the necessary eddy current an issue.
Probably stronger magnetics then in regular reels, which can cause other problems.
Just looks like an interesting reel, I believe in the $70 price point range.
Is it still ultralight if I’m runnin 30lb braid, caught 12 lb blue catfish on the Walmart special
Ultra heavy light
Can I use an ugly stick dock runner as an ultra light set up?
For sure
I love UL fishing but i dont have money to buy. 😔 u have raffle or giveaway sir!😁
No weightless rigs like Texas and wacky? Is it possible
it's possible, but no reason. Throw on a light weight and it falls super slow anyways
Is the Sensalight casting rod a two piece or one piece?
1 piece
@@aaanglers ok. I really wanted the rod but I think it will be too hard to transport for me but thanks a lot for actually responding
Can you use that same spinning setup in saltwater?
Not likely. You really need a salt specific set up
@@aaanglers do you know any salt specific ultra light gear? I live in Annapolis MD and been wanting to get an ultra light setup for salt and fresh water.
I guess ultralight has a different meaning in fishing than it does in backpacking :-P I'm trying to figure out what a good setup would be for mult-day backpacking trips to mountain lakes for trout fishing. Any suggestions for that specific use case?
Eagle claw makes a telescopic rod and reel combo and it's pretty cheap. It is ultralight and would fit easily into a backpack. A small plastic case with a few roostertail spinners and a few trout magnets and you would be ready to go. With hardly any weight or much bulk.
How do I join "Team Dink"? I'm sure I can become president or maybe a chairman of the team. And, how do I get a Team Dink sticker?
Lol, he might sell them on mulefishing.com
