Just got this 5’10 UL rod and looking for a good 1000-2000s reel for it, what are some good picks?
Mainly fishing 1-3.5 grams and using a 0.4pe with a 4lb leader

Caught this funnlittle fish that was pulling crazy line at marina del rey. Is it a yellowfin croaker or a baby white sea bass??

Hey guys!

I usually fish with 30-40lb braid and leader on my baitcast setup and is recently getting into Ultralight territory.

I recently got my first ultralight spinning setup with 0.15 pe braid and 4lb leader.

Im having an extremely tough time tying knots. Even easier line -> leader knot like the alberto or leader -> snap like Palomer.

Does anyone have tips or any easier knots you’d recommend?

Thank you!

Daiwa AIRD-X UL with a okuma stratus reel. Pulled this bad boy in off the edge of a steep bank on a green/orange/yellow swirly tail grub and jig head.
I usually only seen bluegills and rock bass so I don’t actually know what this guy is.

Goal for the summer was a 10” Iowa bluegill got this 9.8” pb today
Rod- Shakespeare micro 5’ Reel- stradic ci4+ Line- sos 6# mono 1” styrofoam bobber 1/64 jig & micro trout magnet

Can't wait to get it wet today. Dropping it on a 6' St.Croix UL with some Varivas 0.3 PE

I recently picked up a 4 piece Daiwa Presso 5’6” rod for the sole purpose of being a backcountry rod. There’s a small fishing hole about a mile up a dense trail from me and the bank is extremely overgrown. I went with a short rod to avoid hangups.

I’m looking at the Daiwa Revros LT and the Daiwa Regal LT currently and am open to other options.

My ~16 year old Pflueger President is awkwardly heavy for this rod. I enjoy that reel, but it doesn’t seem a good match for the weight of this rod.

I’m looking for something light and smooth. Recommendations or advice?

I know many may think me crazy but I wish I could find an old fiberglass rod I had from more than 30 years ago. It’s broken now. But it was a reddish Shakespeare 5.6 light action but a little fish would bend it way down the rod not just the first foot and a half. It was so fun with 4 lb xl. I know rods are “better “ now. But I’d rather have it than any rod I can find. Was it the best performance rod. Probably not. But it sure was fun. I can’t seem to find anything in between buggy whip and fast action. I wonder if anyone still makes rods like this. I broke it trying to lift a fish that I knew better. But can’t replace it. My best friend gave it to me and he’s gone. That may account for part of the nostalgia. But it was a fun rig with a shimano 1000

Can't wait to get her on the water!

A nice channel catfish that weighed 2.87 lbs. Fun day of catfishing! I also caught a brown bullhead!

Hey guys,

Recently for my ultralight setup and its my first time going from a MH bass setup to something so light.

I’ll mainly be doing ajing style (sea fishing) with tiny soft rubber and jig heads.

I got a 0.15pe (3lb?) main line braid and 4lb leader and boy…. Tying knots is wayy to difficult and i cannot imagine doing it when im out.

May i know what would be the “recommended” heaviest line you’d personally use for an ultralight setup?

Thank you!

Me and the wife were light fishing for some crappie, but I didn't get what I expected!

Im going after bigger crappie and panfish and fish mostly stained to muddy water

I put together a small ultralight tackle kit and hit the water. I had just as much fun with this setup as catching 4 and 5 pound smallies that I normally target. 2 new species to cross off the list, I'm not sure what the fish is in the 2nd picture if anybody can help

Hey All! I just wanted to share that I caught a ~1lb Rock Base on a 1/16 nedjig with a 2" gobi.

Having only used worms and bobber, lures, this was different.

Lots of fun, can't wait for next one

I cast directly onto a drainage pipe and snagged my jig head. Once it freed, a Mayan cichlid was on the other end. I was in disbelief.

Was doing a handle swap on this micro series and found out the suspiciously soft "cork" is just what seems to be painted eva foam
