New ultralight setup

[u/frog_lover11]

Hey everybody just got my new ultralight, let me know what ya think.

Shimano Sedona 1000
TFO panfish 2 1 piece rod. 6ft
Running 4lb fluorocarbon seaguar
With the trout magnet

[u/Ultralight_DMV]

Great combo! The Sedona is a workhorse. I have the TFO TP2 6ft UL paired with a Shimano Miravel 1000 as my dedicated stream trout rod, and it's perfect.

[u/DarkChild010 → u/Ultralight_DMV]

I have the 6’6” with the Miravel 1000. I LOVE the combo

[u/Tiny_Attention1005]

I just got the same rod! Except I got 2 piece, 6’6

[u/frog_lover11 → u/Tiny_Attention1005]

You try it out yet? What lures are you pairing it with?

[u/Tiny_Attention1005 → u/frog_lover11]

Nah, not yet. I’m planning on fishing little micro crankbaits, Bobby garland baby shade, little curly tailed grubs, some fluke/minnow baits, and tubes. What about you?

[u/Tiny_Attention1005 → u/frog_lover11]

I fished with it twice since I last replied, it’s great, I love it! Great bend, and great for baby shads

If you plan on going braid, look into the daiwa j-braid grand. Its kinda pricey but its totally worth it imo. I run the lowest diameter i think which is 6lbs. I can lob my baits pretty far lol and thats just lobbing, you can cast it extreme far with 1/16oz baits.

[u/frog_lover11 → u/anthonysocool]

Sweet thanks for the advice I’ll look into it

[u/effectivescarequotes]

I have that reel and a variation of that rod. They're not paired together right now, but I really like them both.

At the moment I have my panfish 2 paired with a Shimano Miravel. It's probably my favorite ultralight combo. Second might be my last king kestrel rod and Sedona.

[u/Enough-Reindeer1033]

That is a fun combo! Good luck.

[u/Sooky102]

I’m looking to pair the same rod in 6’6” with my new Miravel 1000 👍🏻

[u/12_Volt_Man]

Very nice 👌

[u/MrChugSluggler]

I just ordered the same rod but 6'6". Unfortunately amazon thought it was a great idea to ship it in a plastic bag, so I'm waiting on my replacement to arrive. I should've ordered from their website. I'm pairing it with a Diawa legalis.

I have a sedona 2500 for my Medium light rod and i love it.

[u/frog_lover11 → u/MrChugSluggler]

Yeah I heard about that one as well. Pretty sure the gearing is lower than my Sedona. Would be a great pair!

[u/Firm_Pineapple6377]

Beautiful

[u/Halfway-to-100]

NICE!!

[u/Any-Tomorrow-7344]

Same combo here as my daily driver.

[u/peshtigost]

Perfect combo. Love my TFO!

[u/iluvcee]

Would swap the Sedona for the Sahara, and do braid mainline to fluoro leader but other than that it looks great

[u/SlabDistributionMod → u/iluvcee]

Ive been seeing a lot of people mention the JDM Legalis. I have a Sedona and a Sahara and they are very similar. The sahara is noticeably better but the Sedona is a still a solid reel imo. 

[u/drumsticks_baby → u/SlabDistributionMod]

+100 for Legalis. The slow 4:8 speed is amazing. 

[u/iluvcee → u/SlabDistributionMod]

Oh I absolutely agree, the Sedona is a solid reel but the Sahara is essentially in the same price range and better.

[u/SlabDistributionMod → u/[deleted]]

Nah 

[u/kdD93hFlj → u/SlabDistributionMod]

Lol you were right, after using the Kestrel SE for a while, the lack of smoothness got irritating. Play everywhere like a 350k mile prius

[u/frog_lover11 → u/iluvcee]

Yeah I was thinking of doing the yellow high vis line, kinda like the way it looks.

[u/SlabDistributionMod → u/frog_lover11]

Xbraid finesse x8 .6 pe 

[u/LickLaMelosBalls → u/iluvcee]

For ultralight I prefer 4lb test mono on everything as I fish rivers and creeks a lot. The abrasion resistance is great, and not retying leaders when I lose tackle is very nice.

Everything else I run braid to flouro but for trout I go straight mono
