The Ultralight Life - Fishing
Приєднався 1 чер 2017
I have been fishing seriously for over 20 years and have caught over 300 species of fish! 2 fish have been over 400 pounds, but my passion is light line angling. I am in constant search for the perfect setup and have bought/sold/traded many rods and reels over the years. I have a never ending addiction for technical fishing techniques and high end JDM tackle!

Most Versatile UL & BFS Lure Combo! Catch Tons of Fish! #ultralightfishing #bfsfishing
If you are interested in getting some of the Mule Fishing baits, please use my affiliate link to support my channel: www.mulefishing.com/?aff=7
In this video, I highlight two set ups that yield great results. I spill the beans on a system that has caught me thousands of fish.
One set up is a super ultralight spinning rod with 2 pound line featuring the donkey tail Jr soft plastic bait.
Here are the exact specs:
Rod: JDM Shimano Cardiff AX 62XUL-F
Reel: JDM Shimano Soare BB 500
Line: 2lb Trilene XL Smooth Casting
Lure: 1.25g iFish BG jighead and Mule Fishing Donkey Tail Jr
Link for rod: jdmtackleheaven.com/products/shimano-21-cardiff-ax-s62xul-f?_pos=6&_sid=025e15948&_ss=r
Link for jigheads: ifishtackle.com/collections/jigs
This setup catches tons and tons of numbers. I have had more 100+ fish days within a one month period with this bait than any other. When this setup doesn’t seem to produce due to conditions (muddy/windy water) or I am looking for that bigger bite I opt for my second weapon:
Rod: Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse 700c
Reel: JDM Shimano SLX BFS
Line: Varivas Big Trout Nylon 8lb (this line is super thin for 8lb, other lines I would choose 5-6lb). This Varivas line fishes similar to 6lb.
Lure: Berkley Fishing Money Badger Crankbait 1/5oz
Link for Berkley Money Badger: www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkley_Money_Badger_4_Crankbaits/descpage-BFMB4.html
Link for Megabass Griffon BFS: thehookuptackle.com/products/griffon-sr-x-bfs?variant=43405739098279&_pos=1&_psq=griffon+&_ss=e&_v=1.0
The Berkley Money Badger and the Megabass Griffon BFS Crankbaits have allowed me to go from having a 0 bass day to 20+ in some situations. The same could be said about jdm bfs spinnerbaits like the Evergreen D-Zone, but I seem to catch so many more with the bfs cranks.
This 1-2 punch has saved the day many times for me, and I am sure you will enjoy it as well. You can fish the bfs crankbait in conditions less optimal for the super ultralight presentation and still have a blast on light gear. Most high-pressure lakes do not see a lot of downsized presentations as well to give you an upper hand. Thank you for watching and be sure to like and subscribe if this is up your alley!

New sub here! Just gotta say like i_fish N troutmagnetman, you have got bitten by the JDM bug, brother. There's no going back to domestic rods if you're an avid UL fisherman. The hole only get deeper. Thanks for showing!
Lucky 🍀
Those look awesome!
They are rad 👍
Awesome video! How will it do for trout in your opinion?
Thanks! My honest answer is to avoid this model for trout. Stick with the daiwa presso lines of rods for trout! They are so awesome and multiple price points
@ thanks
Beauty, healthy looking fish.
Hard to find at this lake!
Are you fishing with like 2 pound test or something
2lb test all day
Awesome fish bro 😎
Thanks man!
I think it might be a sunfish, but that’s a tank
Very healthy fish!
Very healthy fish!
As much as id love to try this reel out, i just cant trust abu garcia anymore. Overpriced junk. I purchased several mgx and mgxtreme and these reels loos their smoothness in a season. And thats if you could keep the sideplates from flying in the lake. Their first generation revo premiers were pretty solid. Kept their smoothness for several seasons. Cant say anything great about the future generations. Should have went for quality over lightness. Live and learn
is this the lightest rod on the market?
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid. Stay off the jalapeños!
Your tackle choice is very similar to ifish UA-camr. Awesome gear.
That rod is nice!
@@RetiredFisher51 thanks!! You have one?
That is bigger than every fish i have caught
@@ImAKitKatBecauseYes you’ll get em man!!
It's for salt or freshwater?
I use it for freshwater but can use a Nasci for both!
The red craw and shad.
🫡
What is the thrust
55!
Please add close up image of your rod from top to bottom so we can clearly see every details.
🫡
What model is that rod?
Dobyns 700c
Power handle??
No power for the 500 size, too small
Watching your video is as satisfying as watching the grass grow.
Still better than somebody that has to comment this in the middle of the night
I have been fishing ultra lite for crappie for the better part of 50 years. But not only crappie but blue gill are a lot of fun.
Awesome so glad to have you here! I love it so much!
Does that rod feel more like a extra fast action or fast action?
That’s a very good question! It’s the best of both worlds in comparing those two actions, I feel like it is extra fast in my hand by the way it receives bites, but it definitely has a more parabolic bend once setting the hook. Have you ever used an “ajing” style Japanese rod? They are very unique in this respect. What would you like to use it for?
Yo
Yo 😎👍
Love ur videos
Hi Mr. Im just a kid i love these fishing videos and love to fish keep up the work have a good day
Awesome and thank you! What do you fish for the most?
imagine a time when all you had to do was row out to the weed line and catch them all day long
Still like that in some lakes, including my home lake. I have many videos using my other boat. That has no electronics and catching my bigger crappie. It’s all relative. This lake is 100+ feet deep in some places, and without livescope I wouldn’t have found this fish. In comparison, another lake a few months ago the boat caught 100+ off a structure you didn’t need any electronics to find. Just your eyes. I will say, I’m no longer a fan of using livescope as a main method. After the arcade like experience
Paired it with a GLX 842C. My weightless, Senko combo. 💎 Bought rod in 1994, _Pre-BFS._
Pre BFS! I have been using some very light action fiberglass crankbait rods for the longest! A 1994 GLX? Gold!
@@TheUltralightLife I don't have a fiberglass rod. I might like one for topwater. Please suggest a good (light) one.
Sweet....bring em on out....🎣on
That’s the plan 😎👍
5:33 Yes. Let it run . Slow cranks. OG 🔥
🤩👍
4:05 I set my drag the same way. Like to hear that drag screeeeammm . 😂
SCREEEAAMMM
Beautiful rod & setup ❤
Thanks!!
Im in malaysia. How can i get it ? 😢
I order rod’s from JDM Tackle Heaven, Digitaka and Asian Portal Fishing. Do any of those ship to Malaysia?
Awesome video. I just started UL fishing and have so much more fun than searching for huge bass and getting skunked half the time from the shore.
So glad to have you join the UL community! Everyday is a blast!!!!!
Creek rod!!! Oh man!
Should be a very unique stick!
The Clearwater is an awesome rod!
It really is!! What weight do you have?
I miss my mom also!
🙏🙏
The bird is saying fish killer fish killer
Haha 😆
one of my fave baits! Caught so many different things on it!
Definitely a staple for so many fish!
Nice Rod but I would've paired it with the Soare XR!
Would love to have a xr!
I would have paired the cardiff with a cardiff 🤷🏻♂️
@@slothandturtle8036 Yeah ever since they redesigned it and made it just as lite as the Soare I agree! 👍
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!!
Great combo!
Thank you!!!
What version do you think would work good for trout magnet size lures?
Ordered a ghost blade
🔥🔥🔥 #Foconoultralight
🔥🔥🔥😎👍
Overkill bass combo
All I had at the moment. If you look at my channel I catch bass on 2lb line as well….
I just ordered this same rod and a Legalis LT 2000s-p to pair with it. I’m stoked. Great review.
Awesome!!! Let me know what ya think!
What website did you order the rod on?
Ultra light fishing ❤ from Malaysia
😎👍👍👍👍
I usually use power bait and gulp minnows to catch it and it always works
Nice!
Ultralight delight!🎣🎣🎣🎣
Bro throw a UL uncut video out see how it does 🫡💪🏼💯🔥
