Nicely done! Loved seeing the new jigs in action. I want a BFS reel but the lower price ones are all on back order until June or later. Looking more and more like a Christmas gift lol
No fashion just fishin! 😂 great vid as always 🤙 hope you’re staying safe up there, heard about the dam breaking. This flooding has been crazy with all the rain we’ve had in the Midwest. Should have my new mule jigs and my new rods today, ready to hit the water!
Sloppy Joe, Slop Sloppy Joe. That looked like a ton of fun Ethan! I've got to get out with my BFS and try for some of those river smallies. I like that 1/16th oz with the micro swimbait. I think its a good combo for most water conditions.
Excellent video. Have any fly fishermen looked at you sideways fishing baitcast gear for trout yet? Lol I was fishing the headwaters of the Rifle over in Lupton before the season closed and got a few looks and comments.
So if you remember I was talking to you about doing a micro bass jig. Heres what I have come up with so far. 1/32 Weedless round ball head jig Mustad size 6 hook Half tab green pumpkin barb wire skirt A few strands tan of living ruber 2 inch twin tail grub. Still in the testing phase with it. I need to play with the weed guard. It's hard to find the balance between too heavy of a weed guard where you set on a fish and never see the jig again and too light where you get hung up on a twig and never see the jig again. Needless to say I have lost a few already lol
My dad's an immigrant and always wore socks and sandals, to my embarrassment. After becoming a dad myself I discovered how right he was. Nothing more comfortable than socks and sandals.
@@FishAnything I didn't expect them to be so hard to find locally. The trd's are everywhere. Found the trd craws, hogs, and finesse shadz. But still have yet to see the slim swimz 😵
Alright man, I can't take it anymore. I just ordered the stuff to set up a BFS rig. I've been slowly replacing all my spinning setups with casting setups and this might kick out my last UL spinning setup. Looks like I need to order some more Mule jigs.
QUESTION! Hey man don’t know if you will see this but I need some input on a fishing kayak. I’d like something max $1000CAD and i would like for a sit on top with a nice food up seat. I’m a bigger guy 230lbs and would like something of a flatter type. I’d prefer a paddle kayak over the pedal type. A big thing would also be storage and maybe some rod holder mounts. If you have any good ideas you can get back to me on this comment. Thanks man!
For that price, I would consider the Jackson Bite or an Old Town Topwater. Otherwise, keep your eyes our for a used Native Slayer or Bonafide! Buying used is always a good way to save some coin and still get a great rig.
Sloppy Joes and SmallJaws; now that’s a good day (and a mondo Rock Bass). So you got your BFS reel from AliExpress? Are they reliable; I found the one reel for $55 in RH and shipped from the US. Just wondering if AliExpress is legit? I also saw that BPS has a Mr Crappie 6’ Light Action Casting Rod available and it’s cheap. My son has the Mr Crappie UL spinning combo and in all honesty; the rod really isn’t that bad.
I love the idea of the Mr. Crappie 6' L Casting rod. Good idea! I bought the Fishband GH100 from fellow Team Dinker but you can definitely target AliExpress. Just target a supplier who has sold a lot and has good reviews - you won't have issues. If you can pay via PayPal, that is super secure and always protected as well.
My dad (85 years old) doesn’t worry about fashion either. Black sandals, black socks, black gym shorts, and a black t-shirt. He’s quite the sight :)
He sounds like the man I aspire to be! :)

I just saw that Piscifun just released one for really cheap. Might be worth a look!

Hope you have been catching them! And yeah that dam breaking looks insane and sad! Thankfully I am nowhere near all that. Thanks for watching :)
LOL I like how your always talking Food when done fishing. Nice fish. No way I would go wading this time of year. Keep hookin um.
I’m glad you’re picking up on that. I’m always starving after fishing 🤣 I am a big time eater 🤠
That was absolutely fun!! Awesome video! BABAAM!!
Thanks Mosierboy! :D
BFS + Ned rig sounds awesome!!!
It has been a fun way to fish for sure!
My fave BFS bait!

I absolutely love the little swimbaits on my Mule Jigs. Crazy confident in this little rig for just about anything that swims!
@@FishAnything me too! Going to use it soon for some river smallies. I think it will do very well 🤞
As you know I love rock bass thank for giving them some appreciation 😀👍🏻
Rock Bass are lovely :)
Do you need like heavy braided line for smallmouth bass? Say like 40 to 50 pound braid, is that too much?
I think that’s too much for smallmouth. I’d use lighter braid if I could. 10-20 is fine!
@@FishAnything this is spoiling a bait caster I meant. But is 40-50 ideal for largemouth?
@@FishAnything the baitcaster for the smallmouth. Sorry for not being more clear.
would it make a big difference if I don't use a BFS reel with this rod? I got it with the intent to help me cast spinners better.
I think you can use that rod without a BFS reel but just be sure not to overpower it. Try to stay within the ratings and don't use too heavy of line.
What rod and reel are you using? What pound line?
Shimano Aldebaran BFS XG / Shimano Sensilite 7' L / I can't remember the line. Might have been nanofil.
Excellent video. Have any fly fishermen looked at you sideways fishing baitcast gear for trout yet? Lol I was fishing the headwaters of the Rifle over in Lupton before the season closed and got a few looks and comments.
Haha I usually am pretty isolated when trout fishing but I’m sure I’ll get those looks soon enough 🤣🤣
What song where you jamming to at 6:14
Bus Route by Tyler Childers - straight banger!
where did you get the bfs reel at?
I literally bought it used from a fellow Team Dinker - Micah! 🤠🕺🏼
So if you remember I was talking to you about doing a micro bass jig. Heres what I have come up with so far.
1/32 Weedless round ball head jig
Mustad size 6 hook
Half tab green pumpkin barb wire skirt
A few strands tan of living ruber
2 inch twin tail grub.

I like the owner microspin jig
@@sunnyyang7880 Do you mean the keitech micro jig?
@@chasingthefish9042 actually it's mono spin jig lol
My dad's an immigrant and always wore socks and sandals, to my embarrassment. After becoming a dad myself I discovered how right he was. Nothing more comfortable than socks and sandals.
100% agree XD SOCKS AND SANDALS MUST MAKE A COMEBACK!
I caught my first fish on a donkey tail Jr and a 1/80 ounce mule jig today it was a nice bluegill.
That’s what I like to hear 😍😍😍
Nice! I gotta find some of those slim swimz lol.
Dude I’m telling you they are my confidence swimbait
@@FishAnything I didn't expect them to be so hard to find locally. The trd's are everywhere. Found the trd craws, hogs, and finesse shadz. But still have yet to see the slim swimz 😵

Always welcome your business :D And yeah the BFS has been a ton of fun! Definitely won't kick out my spinning UL gear though. I like both too much :)

Online Outdoorsman thanks!
Where can we buy your jigs?
They are available at www.mulefishing.com 🤠🧡 thank you for the support
I’ve never seen a rock bass before. If you hadn’t called it I’d have thought it was a weird color for a crappie.
Haha yeah they are a weird fish! Mostly in the north but in the Midwest as well.
Do you put mustard on your sloppy joes?
I can't say that I have before but that sounds delicious. Next time I eat one, I am def throwing mustard down.
Just had to ask. Thats the only way ive had them haha.

BFS!
Thanks to you 🤠👊🏽
That first rock bass was a total meatball. Wearing sandles can also get you hurt, mister
Truly was! And yeah they can if you’re not careful!
You should sell this combo to me. I’m a left handed fisherman. Left handed bfs are impossible to find. Any left hand reels for that matter
Lol I have had too many folks ask me to sell it to them to count! I am keeping it - I like fishing left handed :D
