    Wait.. a 7-FOOT TFO Ultralight? I recall a 6-footer that you reviewed, and a 5-6 that you featured in your giveaway...did Santa leave that 7 under your tree? Clever fellow that Jolly Old Elf. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas, Ethan. Treasure these moments - it won't be long before you're placing Charles' first fishing rod in his hands..undoubtedly followed minutes later by a lesson on the magic of the Ned Rig. :-) . Great to see you're still able to fish; as a life-long southerner I anxiously await watching you shiver and shake your way through some ice fishing soon. Thanks for another great video, and very happy New Year to you and yours.

      @@FishAnything thanks! I’m saving up for it and then I’m gonna start a fishing/ aquarium channel. I’d just like to say thank you so much for inspiring me to start ultralight fishing. It’s by far the most fun and exhilarating type of conventional fishing. I had a 16 inch walleye on the other day but the teeth cut the line! Also almost had a master angler crappie but then the paper lips got the best of me!

    Nice work getting those ice cubes to bite. You definitely gave me a bit of an ultralight itch I'm more accustomed to steelhead. And the occasional trip to my local lake crecent in Washington state for some Beardsley trout. But you have me looking for a new ultralight setup. Haha

    I caught some fish on that 2 lb xl trilene the other day. It was fun i used a trout magnet with a float. Then I swapped to my other ultralight with 4 lb test and throwed a double trout magnet rig out and caught a crappie, smallmouth, and like 20 rockos. I'm telling you like an hour before dark those fish were aggressive in this slow deeper creek. It probably helps that we've had unseasonably warmer weather here in NW AL. 👊👍

I didnt know until i looked at my order that my spinning reel is actually graphite frame. i take care of my things but i was wondering is this setup a good start? Also i love to use my highvis braid so can i use the braid and just attach a flurocarbon leader or what would your advice be?

    • @FishAnything

      I personally haven’t noticed much difference in reels based on frame materials. As long as you’re buying from a reputable brand, I think you’ll be fine. I’ve got sub-$50 reels that I’ve put through the ringer and they are still kicking butt.

    Cost?

    • @evanramee796
      @evanramee796 3 роки тому +2

      I think that the smaller diameter spool helps the small ultralight line escape while casting easier. You would probably get worse casting distance with a giant spinning reel.

    • @FishAnything
      @FishAnything  3 роки тому +1

      It’s predominately to cut down on weight and balance a rod better. Additionally, I use light line so I don’t need massive capacity. But to be honest I prefer a larger diameter spool because it gives me better casting distance and lower memory. Ideally, we would have access to shallow spooled 1000 and 2000 size reels. Would be better for UL fishing!

    • @FiciousCritik
      @FiciousCritik 3 роки тому

      @@FishAnything I ignored the balance aspect, but you did not. 👍
