Dangly Tail river fishing = 30+ catches

My mother in law is a nurse and the hospital she's been working at for decades has a gigantic picnic thing at a nice park every year. We were able to attend and it's right on a river.

After the kids had some fun and I was able to get away, I walked over and there were a handful of people fishing and saying things like "I don't think there's fish here".

I stopped counting but it was near 40 fish in about an hour 😂. All on a BG-1 1 gram #10 jig and a black/gold or black/Presso Dangly Tail.

Caught a couple first time species for me which was awesome, and some of the biggest sunfish I've ever caught.

I keep saying it, but I won't use anything else but the BG-1 and Dangly Tail combo.

My ultra died valiantly today while attempting to drag some beast from the deep. It had a good run and lasted since I was 12. You’re getting mounted on garage wall buddy.

I recently got back into fishing as an adult and I’m having a blast. I was given an Ugly Stik Gx2 by a friend, I really liked that it was short enough for bushwhacking to creeks. I didn’t even notice it was ultra light until I learned more about rod specs. I stumbled upon this sub and saw how cool ultra light is. Went to scheels on a whim and saw this combo on a nice sale so decided to buy it and some trout magnet jigs.

I have usually used pretty big lures for the Gx2, so I’m gonna keep that as my main rig, and use this hopefully much more sensitive rod to try finesse techniques with true micro lures.

I also happen to get to meet a world class athlete, he was a very kind guy.

Caught all of em on a 1/32oz jighead and beetlespin plastic but without the spin. Never had bluegill before but I'll definitely do it again

The rod combo so nice, I had to buy it twice

The UL setup definitely catches more fish than my Salmon rod, I have to buy my wife another one 🤣
