This Is A Great ULTRALIGHT REEL for a BUDGET PRICE!

- I recently picked up a new ultralight rod and reel to chase multispecies with. I didn't plan to make this video but after a few trips, I decided I should because I instantly fell in love with this reel! Plus, it is super affordable!
By now you obviously know I love ultralight fishing for whatever bites. That is exactly what I did on this trip. I used a few different plastics with my Mule Jigs and was able to catch 4 different species (although none of them were big). I truly am the Dinkmaster!

Started using this combo and absolutely love it! Thanks for the info
Awesome! Tight lines!
I have a daiwa reel with a rear click drag, I got it for my 14th birthday. I still have it, and lend it out sometimes to family. It's horrible, the drag barely works and is not smooth. It's heavy for It's size, and it's beat the hell up. I've now had it for 24 years this month, and despite all the downsides, it still works. After using pflueger and okuma for the last 12 years, I think I'm going to try this reel out. I've had two okuma reels that had broken handles within the last 2 years, kinda getting sick of contacting okuma to send parts to me.
They certainly don't make them as durable as they used to. I doubt this reel will last you 20+ years but it should do just fine for a long time.
Just bought this Daiwa reel 1000 size. The drag sounds nice. I put it in a 7 foot ugly stik carbon. Can’t wait to fish it.
Solid reel! Good luck :)
Perfect timing for this video. Just picked up a new ultralight rod and was looking for a reel and found your channel. Great content!
Woohooo thanks Bradley! Glad you like the content :)
I picked up this reel based on this video. I absolutely love it. Thank you
It is a great choice for the price. Tight lines my friend.
Did you buy the 2023 model or 2018 because i couldnt find the size 1000 2018 model reel
Crappie, bluegill, bass on the UL. That's a fun day Ethan. Those Keitech plastics are nice but they're not very durable in my opinion. I've used the bigger ones and they rip up easy. The Sojourn and Daiwa reel seemlike a great, afordable combo. I have a heavy Sojourn rod. Congrats on your 1st trolling fish, Dink Master Troll Monster!
Lol Dinkmaster Trollmonster. I honestly might do a full day of only trolling soon. Just to see what happens XD
I'd like to see that Ethan! I've done a partial day of trolling..does get a bit boring though. Maybe because I didn't catch any fish 🤣
You will need to hit up that deep lake for ice fishing!🎣👍❄🥶☃️
That is a great idea!
Daiwa is really pushing Pflueger (the longtime gold standard) in the affordable spinning reel market in my opinion. I love my RG-AB on my Ned setup.
For sure! The fact that you can get a reel that performs at a high level, has a strong drag system, and is lightweight for these prices is crazy! Super thankful I got this reel. Might sell my Pfluegers and swap more of these in.
I just bought a Daiwa Revos LT 1000. It’s nice, I like it but haven’t fished it yet. I do have a Pflueger President 2000 size. They are similar in size but the Pflueger feels like it was heavier built, and might be heavier. I have not looked at the specs yet. I will say the Pflueger is way more smoother. After having the Pflueger I was a little disappointed in Daiwa but have not fished it yet.
I love ultra light rods and great multi species fishing day for you so much fun catching different types of fish and those gulp minnows works every time
The Gulp Minnows are like fish candy dude! Thanks Sterling - I appreciate you.
Walmart has a $20 Shimano ultralight combo - 4'6". It's not fancy or whatever your expensive ones are, but has been a blast for me when fishing panfish and even 12" bass are a great fight. Anyone just wanting to test that side of fishing out I'd highly recommend.
Definitely! That is a solid price and it sounds like you can't go wrong :)
Is it a 1pcs or 2pcs?
Daiwa always has really good budget reels that don't perform cheap
I never used them back in the day but now that I am, I am falling in love with Daiwa across the board.
Ultralight has been my favorite style fishing lately! I do need a new reel for my new Okuma, I’ll have to check this out! I was just waiting the whole time for that boat to go by again!
Haha believe me that boat went by like another 12 times. I have no idea what they were doing XD
I love this reel, I have them on my light action rods and my ultralights too
Heck yeah! I was thinking about swapping out my pfluegers for daiwa as well
Well that didn’t take long. Lol, found my new ultra light reel. And I’m going to give the Daiwa laguna 1000 a shot on another 6’ light rod too. I’m binge watching most of your videos getting ideas and info.
Haha heck yeah man. This is a gem of a reel for the price.
@@FishAnything will this reel fit well on the Temple Fork Outfitters 6’ UL rod too? I’m going to pick that rod up also. I might even buy the Fishing 13 Architect A 1.0 size too.
@@michaelwright956 Yes, this reel will fit perfectly! I would personally stick with Daiwa over 13 Fishing. I have used both brands and Daiwa definitely has a cleaner drag and more sturdy feel to it.
Sir Dink a lot! Nice job. I just ordered a 7’6 micro ultra light. Can’t wait to try it out on Thursday. Ready to rip some lips.
That sounds like a fun rod to launch small baits with. Hope you get some good juju going with it soon :)
I picked up one of those diawa reel's. A 2000 size. I like it haven't caught anything on it but it cast's well. Put it on a 6.6 ultra light. Looking forward to the warm up.
Hope you make that drag scream this spring! Tight lines 🤠
I recognize this place! There are a bunch of Warmouth and big bass and pike in the deep water structure if I am correct!
Great video and nice multi species day!
Yeah I want to go back and chase bass with a drop shot. I think it will be magical! TBH the only reason I tried this spot is because you mentioned it has Warmouth. Can't believe I didn't find one!
They are in the pads and on the drop offs in the summer as far as ive seen. The skinny section in the middle of the lake has a big deep drop off with a ton of structure as well.
Ps a weightless sekno kills it here!
Nice catches, I’d be happy catching all of those smallies, especially on the ultralight setup. I’m gonna check out that reel, looks real nice, great vid!
Thanks. Jim! I had a great time with it despite the fact that I couldn't manage a bit bigger fish XD
Nice video! I dig panfish fishing. Nice reel/rod combos......definitely will be checking those out!
This reel is a steal of a deal. Call me Dr. Seuss.
Great stuff! I have to agree about the revros reels. I enjoy both of mine. I have the revros lt 2000 and the 2004h. So many good reels out there. Sometimes its hard to decide what to grab haha.
Yeah it is definitely hard to decide. So people like you and I buy them all and then have too much haha
@@FishAnything truth 🤣. Been enjoying my penn fierce and quantum throttle reels too. They are a tad more and a bit heavier but solid with an aluminum frame haha. But the revros is a bit smoother and cheaper. The aluminum frame is a bit overkill haha.
You should check out the Lew’s Lite Speed Stick reel. It’s $20 at Walmart and 30 at Academy. I bought the Walmart version. It has to be one of the lightest reels out there. And it’s really smooth for a 3BB system.
I will definitely look into it! Thanks for the intel :)
Mmmmm. Nachos. Good stuff and fun fishing.
Nachos & Ultralight fishing fuel me
Keitechs are murder but you’re definitely gonna go through a lot of baits. Great content thanks.
Thanks John! Yeah I totally agree!
I've been using this reel for over a year now...awesome reel...casts a mile
Glad we are on the same page! Also sounds like I am late to the game XD
@@FishAnything better late than never :p
Ya . Got an ultralight rod 6 ft on Amazon canada for 59$ just waiting for it to be shipped. Just waiting for a few pay checks to get the reel I saved in Amazon canada for later . It's should be decent for trout. I'll probably buy a 5 ft rod too just for smaller aces to get into. Lol. But ya love the video...
Awesome! Sounds like you are getting geared up with some good stuff :)
great and awesome video this is. when it comes to ultralight fishing rod and reel combos, i go to cabela's. they are affordable and great stuff. for a rod and reel combo i pay only $30.00----$45.00
it's good enough for me and catching trout
Thanks Shawn! Don't have to spend big bucks to get great gear!
@@FishAnything 👍
Easy shiners are killer but tear when a fish looks at it. You can’t beat slimswimz for finesse swimbaits
Yeah I totally agree. Slim SwimZ are better for sure. I wanted to try the Easy Shiners because of the smaller profile. Only 2" long and really mimics small forage well. Too bad they are so dang soft.
You should try out the piscifun reel it is cheap but, good drag and light. Love the content.
Thanks Kenton! I might have to try one! I appreciate the recommendation.
A cheaper alternative to this reel is the Shimano fx. It's very sturdy, it outlasted my Shimano Sienna and I dropped the Shimano fx many times on rock and grass and it's still in great condition 👍
I will have to look into that. Thanks Leo!
What size shimano reel did u get?
@@sicboy83 size 1000 for bluegill.
@@beaubien3116 Thank you for the quick reply! That one is cheap on Amazon 19.99
@@sicboy83 yeah its definitely worth the money from my experience.
I just ordered my kayak you probably think I have ordered like 3 kayaks but what happened is bass pro cancelled my old town 2020 120 pdl old town blamed bass pro and bass pro blamed old town so we never got to a solution besides that I just ordered my kayak the new model too the old town 106 pdl sportsman 2021 model tight lines Ethan great vid
Hope this one gets in with no issues! Best of luck buddy :)
Online Outdoorsman keep up the great work Ethan
It's not just all fun. There's skill involved in catching fish that small, with their tiny little mouths. Fun day, anyway. Like you, I can't justify paying big buck for UL gear either, but I'd like to try a high-end UL rod some day, because the cheap ones all seem too whippy and not very sensitive.
I definitely agree with what you said. I have been debating selling a few of my UL rods to upgrade to one I like better. We will see.
You need to restock some of those Mule Jigs!
Believe me I am working on it! Hopefully won't be too long now :) stay tuned to the email notification list & social media, I will be posting a lot once they are back.
This is all new to me. What is UL fishing all about?
Using light line and gear to target a broader range of fish and increase the fight
I'll ask you a million questions buddy. Choice between a PFluger Presidential, Presidential XT and a Shimano Sadno ??? And I need to fill my tackle box with Mule jigs . Finally someone else other than me that loves Ultralight.
I assume you meant Sedona? I would go with the Shimano in a size 1000!
@@FishAnything yes sir I'm sorry
@@FishAnything do I just need to send you an email on your Mule website for you to send me what I need for fishing in my area of central Kentucky. Not for free of course
You should try out the new Shimano Sienna 500FG, its 30 bucks and its very high quality imo
I will have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion :D
Hey! Loving your videos! I just subscribed and bought a Sojourn! I was wondering what is that jighead holder you have with you at 6:25?
It’s just a cheap fly box from Cabelas!
Got the Shimano for my birthday and I love it! What’s with the floating blue barrel?
That shimano will last you a very long time. Can't complain about my Sienna at all! And the barrel was tied off to the tree or whatever the heck was under water. I guess it is to keep people from running over it when the water gets lower.
I'm a Daiwa Regal man myself.
Heard good things! Never used that model but I have a few of the Daiwa reels and always enjoy them :)
Ethan, you have to try the 1/64 ounce mule jig on a 4 inch or 5 inch Yamamoto kut tail worm. It's a dirty little number and I smash the bass out here on that. I catch a bunch of dinks, but I've caught 4 pounders on it too. Try it I guarantee you won't regret it.
Interesting! I definitely will try it. Going to go add some to my Discount Tackle cart for my next order as we speak.
a 5 feet rod with him looks very small but for me, its pretty big
I am 6'5 so it is a bit short haha
Have you tried the lews mr.trout? I’m looking for a spinning reel for my ultralight set up for trout and was wanting a cheap reel under $50
Hmmm I haven't tried it but I will have to check it out!
I am using a 1m68 fishing rod, power Light. What size reel should I choose?
What is the kayak you are using
This is my old kayak, the Native Manta Ray PDL. Not made anymore.
What size reel works well for an ultralight. I have a 7ft canyon creek ultra light rod. I’m thing 2000 sized reel.
I prefer size 1000 for most applications, but with a 7' rod, I think the 2000 may be a bit better for balancing purposes.
@@FishAnything that’s what I was thinking. Thanks!
I bought the REVLT1000 but everywhere I look for that specific rod it looks like it is out of stock! Any other suggestion to pair with the REVLT1000?
Hmm I’m sorry they are out of stock in so many places! Daiwa is having a hard time keeping up with demand from the sounds of it. I would suggest finding a 5 - 6’ UL rod that isn’t too “whippy”. If you can pick it up and shake the rod tip and it holds pretty still (doesn’t have too much noodle action), that is what I look for. My Shimano sojourn is also a good rod!
Did you say 2lb test? I just bought this exact reel and I was thinking 4lb.
Yessir I personally like 2lb test as I can cast it further and the bait has a more free flowing action. That said, 4lb works great too!
does this reel have a bearing in the line roller?
That is a good question that I am not sure on. It is a sub-$50 reel so it probably has limited add-ons.
I have the same reel but bigger
Solid reel for sure! Was considering a size 2000 to go with it.
Nice reel, wrong side🤣😂
I have been debating switching my spinning reels to the left side but haven't done it yet XD
First, first, first. New video time!!!!!!
YEEEE you will like an upcoming one for sure!
@@FishAnything I'm excited to see what this mystery fish is!
dink master!
Staying true to its name XD
Is that a good ultralight combo?
Yeah it definitely is!
Do you ever eat the crappie?
I really should keep them more often but I usually release my catches. I am thinking about trying to go catch crappie to keep this fall though. I love them golden crispies :)
Second!!!
:)
Keitech are the ultimate junk plastics. Every bite means that you need to replace the Bait
They certainly work well but they are frustrating and expensive.
I should have ur followers name my yak!
Lol you might regret it XD
@@FishAnything nah!!!
V
Ethan do you shave your legs or are they naturally hairless? lol
This is an odd question lol I do not shave my legs. I guess I am just not a hairy person.
@@FishAnything love you just the same, bro.
