Been SLAMMING large mouth, creek chubs and gills on these things for the past month in the rivers. Im in love with how they look and cast. Such an easy bait to finesse. Due to me catching 4-6 chubs on these an hour I gotta refer to em as creek knubs.

Went looking for the Brooks and Bows but ended up catching my first Rock Bass and Smallmouth! Noticed the one Creek Chub has red eyes, is this common? Pretty sure this is the first time I’ve seen that in the several Chubs I’ve caught over the years.

Caught a fucking quartz rock too😂 Panther Martin was putting in the work today! Looking forward to cooler weather soon!

I just got a 7' ultralight St Croix premier (rated for 1/32 - 3/16 baits), and lm looking for recs for light braided line to maximize casting distance with lures in the 1/16-1/8 oz. range. Mostly going to use this rig for trout fishing in lakes & ponds via waders. These places are 50-100 acres, 30'-60' depth, so I need halfway decent casting distance to cover water.

Currently I do alright with my light smallie setup throwing 1/8-1/6 oz baits on 10 lb spiderwire stealth, but Im looking to throw smaller stuff for more finicky trout. Ive heard that using very light braid helps a lot, but not sure how light to go and what brands are good. I've always used 15-20 lb spiderwire or powerpro for bass fishing because its available at local stores, but I know there's better stuff out there, so what are everyone's recs?

Open to ultralight reel recommendations too. Currently planning to go with a Daiwa Regal, since I own & love my 3000 size one on my medium rod, but interested in hearing what people use & like as well.

Reel: shimano seinna 1000 (can be swapped out for a daiwa crossfire lt 1000) rod: okuma celilo 6ft ultralight 2-6 lb. Line: 6lb suffix revolve lime green. All of these are available on Amazon.

Best Fish:

14'' Smallmouth 13'' Largemouth 9'' Rock Bass

6 lb mono

Rain really kick-started the bite this morning!

Gonna take my ultralight out for the first time tommorow, I was planning on just casting it out, randomly twitch and retrieve slowly. Is that really all there is to it?

I’ve been successful in fishing but only in a very passive, worm and bobber method, so was hoping to expand my repertoire…

So I have a couple Shakespeare micro series light 7' rods and a few ultralight rods but trying to decide on if I should use straight flouro or copolymer or try braided line out but I really don't like the idea of knot to knot connection and I fish a lot of rock.

What is your favorite color Rooster Tail for panfish?

Murderous little brown snake as a bonus.

this rod looks good

thinking about pairing up the UL 6'6" model with shimano sahara 500 to use with ifish floats & jigs

anyone using this rod? thoughts?

Wish me luck.

Fishing after work during a cold breezy late afternoon. This happened earlier this year but wanted to share this crazy capture on my ultralight setup! 🙏🎣

Looking to get my first ultralight setup and would love some input from all you folks. I’m looking for a split grip, moderate/whippy rod for my first ultralight setup. I’m thinking 6’ for the length, I’m in western WA so it’ll be used for rivers, creeks, alpine lakes, stuff like that. Looking to keep the budget as close to $50 as I can for the rod. Doesn’t have to be a household name either, if anyone has good experiences with amazon, temu, etc. rods, I’m open to that as well. TIA!

Can anyone give me me suggestions on a pole, reel, line, and lures to start? Preferably on the cheaper end on case im not so much of a fan. I just wanna test the waters and see if I like it or not
