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!

BEST LURES: This 1-2 Punch Saves the Day Any Day! 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!

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!
Nice Rod but I would've paired it with the Soare XR!
Would love to have a xr!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!!
Great combo!
Thank you!!!
What version do you think would work good for trout magnet size lures?
🔥🔥🔥 #Foconoultralight
🔥🔥🔥😎👍
Overkill bass combo
All I had at the moment. If you look at my channel I catch bass on 2lb line as well….
Lee Brian Robinson Donna Garcia Mark
😎👍🔥
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 🫡💪🏼💯🔥
Incredible casting skills young man 🎉
Thank you 😊 👍
I have one of those and every single charm came off except 2 and it was the boat and fishing hook
Dang lol mine have very low miles 😂😂😂
Heck yah. Best sound in the world.
Absolutely!!!!
Just picked this up and put it on a st croix 7' light extra fast w/ande 4 lb mono. Loving it so far
That’s a great setup glad to hear it!!!!!!
I have Daiwa Legalis LT1000S. How would it pair up with th JDM Daiwa Iprimi?
Yes would pair lovely! That 1000 reel is gonna weigh a little more but totally will do good with the 60xul!
Shimano Soare 500 is suitable to pair up
What reel are you using on your Iprimi? Size 2000? I appreciate
Yes! 2000 luvias lt
I have the Iprimi 5'10" sul and paired with the Iprimi 1025 reel. But really like that Luvias
Those rods have a tonne of guides don't they? What are the rod specs and guide count?
Unsure of the guide count, most Americans casting rods have a lot of guides throughout the blank relatively speaking I’d have to see. It works well for the rod and its bend. The whole rod is specd weird. It is extra fast on the label but has a tip for reaction baits, and its parabolic bend is far from extra fast. Essentially it is a bfs moving bait rod rated up to about a 1/4oz lure
Kyle, I just ordered a 0.2-0.8 rod. Give this XUL thing a real shot
Awesome! The spinning stuff is my wheelhouse not so much Bfs… you went with the mifine?
❤ ultralight ❤ daiwa
😎👍🤩
Love that rod action! 😮
@@RetiredFisher51 the iprimi line of rods are special!!!!
Sweet
😎👍
I have these! im gonna try them today, hopefully they work! What color did you use?
The ones colored like a catalpa worm, and the bulldog color along with brown base patterns were awesome for me
Small boats are just the best❤
Nice, I have that rod, was wondering if it was worth taking with me backpacking since it's ultralight, or if I should get a more travel friendly maybe telescoping one for travel.
They make the travel version of the presso!!! Have you seen it?
@@TheUltralightLife No I haven't, i'll check it out!
Ok , gonna trust ya
You won’t be disappointed!
How you liking the reel so far? Just got the JDM diawa rebellion rod and I'm gonna order a tatula 200 on my lunch break today
That tat 200 is a great swimbait reel. The 300 is overkill for baits under 4 ounces. I used the 200 with deps 250 with no issues!!!!
What exact grub is that bc I’ve only seen some smaller or some bigger
Hey this is the bass pro shops store brand. Go to the panfish section and the 1” option is there. One of the best I’ve used action wise and cheaper than most
Why don't we ever see the giant
@@danco7051 hey danco, this is for the equipment content… never about big fish. Why don’t you ever post anything besides leaving comments 😂
Have you tried any major craft sul rods?
Have not. Played with a finetail and it’s been recommended by alot of great guys. But I didn’t get to fish it in detail. Any you recommend?
The BEST BLUEGILL LURE that I have found is a torn off piece of Styrofoam cup on a hook. To attract them I hock lugies into the water! 🤣
The hawk tuah 3000
How long ago was this video recorded?
2021!
Will I notice a significant difference when switching from a Dobyns Trout and Panfish rod with a Shimano Ultegra reel and 6 lb Daiwa J-Braid Grand 8X to a Shimano Soare XR rod with a Shimano Vanquish reel and Varivas Infinity 3, given that both rods have solid tips?
Absolutely the jdm setup will blow the dobyns out of the water and I’m a big dobyns fan. Have had over 20 of their bass rods
Line setup please
Was running daiwa presso jdm nylon line (orange color, orange box) from Asian portal fishing 3lb test. Breaks way easier and is thinner than 2lb American monofilament
@@TheUltralightLife thanks for tht info..
Nice catch 🎣 great combination set tackles 👍
Thank you!
I’m 63 I live in south east Ohio. I used the same twister tails in white and tore the crappie up in lakes
I meant to put in there “ when I was a kid”
That’s awesome man! What’s the biggest fish you’ve gotten with this? Mines 7lb largemouth. Hoping to get a 10-15 pound blue cat one day
Understood!!!
@@TheUltralightLife My largest fish on these is a 3lb white I really don’t bass fish much I grew up on crappie. I’ve just recently started fishing for saugeye tons of fun they put up a good fight
You talk with your hands and we cant see how it is rigged,you jerk the bait about in the air
Mr Karl Smith I would like for you to post the same video. Do it all in one take, first try. It’s just a grub on a jighead?
I definitely love 1/32nd oz heads and have pretty much exclusively settled on that weight on my ultralight rod. You can swim em a lot slower. I’ve been digging a lot of the stuff from eurotackle, like the bug bodies they have. Nothing like having the occasional big channel cat smacking it too!
1/32 oz is the gold standard for ultralight fisherman and Gods gift to panfishing. If I could only have one that would be it without a second hesitation!
What line are you using
Either 2lb or 3lb Varivas twitch master. I recommend the 3lb over the 2
i have a question. i have a 2018 g3 17 sportsman pfx and it weights around 2000 pounds. i currently have the base model minnkota terrova and i am wanting to move up to a more powerful TM, maybe a 24 volt system. i have read that there is a formula to have a TM. it saids that 2 pounds of thrust for every 100 pounds. that saying i should not have anything over 45 pounds of thrust. i know there are people out there that do not follow that. minnokta saids that if you put if in spot lock it will not work right. i would to know your option on this thank you
I ran a 24v ultrex on a similar boat and it worked great. I would get the ultrex and love it brother. Spot lock was a beast on my tracker 17
Is this the Daiwa Iprimi 56xxul?
Yes!
That’s unusual for there to be nobody at the point, every time I go there there’s nowhere to even breathe
This was pre Covid. Old footage. Been a mess since
@@TheUltralightLifeOh I see, but yeah that place now is just flat out unfishable, way too many guys
is that 2500 luvias?
2000s!
doesnt work
Some people log on to this from shared wifi and waste even more time posting the most foolish things. Please tell me how it doesn’t work.
That’s an awesome take
Thank you!!
