Ultralight Bass Fishing with a MICRO CRANKBAIT!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- As mentioned in my previous kayak fishing video, I took a quick break from tossing the chatterbait to throw a Micro Crankbait! Thanks again Micah for sending me these tiny crankbaits. This particular bait is the Strike King Bitsy Minnow and I had a ton of fun using it!

To be honest, I missed a few bites which I believe is due to two things: 1) the short rod gave me poor leverage to drive the hooks home and 2) the treble hooks are very small and many fish probably missed the hook point.
I definitely suggest picking up a few micro crankbaits and taking the ultralight challenge for yourself! You can find these particular crankbaits right here: amzn.to/2Jn6pUj

Just ordered some of these. Been bass fishing for years. I just started ultra light fishing a few years ago and I find myself fishing this way more so now than anything else. It’s super fun to fight a monster on UL gear. Great video 👍
Thanks! Ultralight is a blast
Absolutely love the ultralight fishing. And yes keep at it with that crankbait because it is possible to catch a decent fish. Pulled in a 3lb large mouth off of a red mini crankbait with a 4ft ultrahigh rod. Great content I can watch you fish ultralight or fly Rod anytime
That’s awesome I definitely will! And thank you for the support my friend, more ultralight to come! Definitely want to bust out the fly rod more as well 🤠
With all your UL knowledge I'd love to see a revisit of these little micro cranks, jerk baits, and top waters as I'm trying to learn them myself.
Will do - thanks for the support!
Love the bitsy minnows. Also the yo Zuri snap beans are great too. I use a 7ft ultralight just to gain casting distance. Great vid man!
Stay tuned 😉😉😉 and thanks again for the cranks I am going to have a lot of fun with these little guys.
What ultralight rod do you have, I was looking at the 7ft ugly stik elite ultralight
I've always kept my drag a bit too tight when I ultralight fish, then loosen if needed. BUT it has cost me a couple of times when I forgot to loosen it. And you gotta try the 1/8 oz Rat-L-Trap. It's called the Tiny Trap.
Yeah I’ve been thinking about that bait! I used to have one or two but need to pick up a new one. Thanks Tim 🤠
Love ultralight fishing. If you haven't used them yet, I would recommend Stike King Rocket Shads. Their one of my favorite things to throw. Tight Lines!
Interesting! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check them out 🤠
Deja vu from many years ago. Springfield
.Bass Pro 4 miles from home...James River crappie...several area creeks...the picture is framed! Before we moved to JC I gave about 50 mini-cranks away to a friend who liked to fish creeks. As you so aptly demonstrated, they are lots of fun on light equipment. Best of luck when a big mambajamba grabs your lure! Don
Haha when big mambajamba bites my lure, I’ll be in for a ride! A fun ride 😁😁
Ethan I finally did it I broke down last week and micro sized my baits i caught a lot of fish from a couple of ponds locally. Thanks for getting me to down size I'm really enjoying it.
That’s really great to hear Larry! Isn’t it so fun?! Don’t get me wrong, I love busting bass on a big jig as much as the next guy, but there’s something about finessing fish with tiny baits that makes me freak out 🤣🤣
I need to learn what the term "fun" means in fishing. This video really taught me. Unfortunately im stuck in my way. More power to you bro
Can’t fake fun and you’re having fun with that micro action. Love it man, might try it myself
The Micro Fish Maniac is at it again! 🤠 I’ve got a ton of plans for more ultralight action this year. So pumped!
6'6" ultra light and the same lure you used but changed out the hooks to one size bigger. Landed more fish with the hook change. Before I would hook them but they would jump off. Always have fun on the ultra light.
I think I need to make those exact same changes! You are a smart man Dan 😁
Good stuff, friend! Feeling the tug of the line is always a thrill.
Especially when the line is super light 🤣 thank you!!
Trick to these bitsy minnows is to NOT set the hook. Allow the fish to set itself by getting tangled in multiple hook points. It's counterintuitive, but it's what works best with these tiny trebles. I had a TON of success using this exact lure throughout the summer. Great multi-species piece.
Totally makes sense! Thanks for the tip Jake :)
They’re so much fun! We’ve got a few of these in my kids’ tackle boxes too.
I bought a cheapie amazon bulk package of 10 tiny crankbaits and had a blast throwing them for panfish and a few small bass (and even a little trout!) last week.
That’s awesome!!! I’ve seen those kits on amazon and have always been quite intrigued. Glad to hear they work 😁
Just looks like straight up fun!! I'm fishing the NYKBF May Online Tourney but I think this will be my last month of fishing these tourneys. I just want to go out and play around with different things like this; ultralight fishing. Just have fun fishing. Thanks for bringing out the kid in us Ethan 🤪
Woot woot! Maybe you’ll start playing around with UL gear and catch a 6lb bass and win the tourney, who knows?! 🤣 that’s more my speed these days too, just fun fish. I’ll probably tourney fish more someday but now I’m just enjoying making my own schedule and focusing on various techniques.
My go-to rod is a 4' 6" rod. I love throwing small cranks on it. I landed a two foot long catfish on that rod with 4lb test and it was the single most thrilling fight of my life. To bring that fish in without getting broken off on that light of line felt so epic. I've put heavier line on it since but the micro setup is still a great way to have fun.
Lucas - this comment makes me very happy 🤠 I bet that fight was intense!! Hopefully I run into a fat cat one of these days 🤣
@@FishAnything Most of my fishing these days happens in 30 minute stretches at my local suburban creek. I grew up in a small town and it took me years of frustration living in suburbia before I realized I could go fishing and have a good time even if I didn't have access to what I grew up thinking of as good fishing spots. There may not be any monsters in my little creek, but that micro rig makes an eight inch sunfish feel like a significant catch; an finding the occasional spotted bass or channel catfish is a real thrill. But probably the best part of the micro rig is I can just keep it in my car with a little Plano box filled with the essentials. So whenever I get the itch and I have a few minutes to spare I can just hop in the car and have a line in the water within 5 minutes of pulling out of my driveway. It's been pretty amazing.
That’s exactly right! I love that you are like me and cater the sport of fishing to your area rather than just give up on it. You can always find ways of making your local fishing spots fun!
@@FishAnything I honestly just wish I'd realized this sooner!
I’ve also found if you leave like 2-4 ft of line out when your casting and almost fish it like a fly you can get really good distance
Good intel - thanks for sharing!
Loving the ultra light fishing videos! Keep then coming! Gonna buy myself a nice set up for Christmas CANT WAIT!
Heck yeah! Hope you crush them on the new setup 🤠🎣
Nicely done with the micro. Now what 2 go pro's are you using ? Escipally the one on the pole. Looks like some type of power source.
No power source, just a string tied to my kayak to be safe haha. They are both GoPro hero 5’s!
That is so small I’ve never seen those before. Nice!!
Yeah buddy! They have been around a long time and are known to catch crappie well. I figured small bass would terrorize them too. Definitely going to play with it more in other bodies of water 😁
Online Outdoorsman yeah I could see using that for crappie and finicky bass! Thanks
Bust this same lure out everytime bites are slow bluegill crappie bass everything hits this thang and nothing swims better than them idk what it is but fish love it
It is a classic little ultralight bait!
I bet it would be great for crappie around brush piles
I bet you’re right 😊 I’ll have to try that!
Micro Baby!!! Great Job!!!
Micro Mania!! Thanks man 👊🏽
You mentioned wet leg. How are you dry from your knees down. Maybe I havent figured out that part of kayaking yet, but I get soaked through knees down from water off my paddle! Nice fish on the ultralight gear!
I think that just takes some time! Focus on smooth paddle strokes and “being one with the water”. When you slap the water, not only do you get less speed, you get your legs wet. You’ll get a feel for it my man!
Nice video man!
Thank you! 🤠
I always use that bait for crappie.
I’ll have to see if I can find some shallow crappie soon! That’s awesome 🤠
Could you do a video about should you put braid on a spinning reel or not
Right on Tyler! I’ll definitely speak to this in an upcoming video but to answer your question, I prefer braid on spinning reels 99% of the time! It’s preference-based but I genuinely think it performs better than mono or fluoro so that’s my recommendation. 10# hi vis with a fluoro leader
what actions if good for these ultra light treble baits
I honestly think a fast is still fine. Maybe a moderate fast, but because the hooks are so small, I don’t like too much flex or it’s hard to bury them and keep the fish pinned.
interesting.. Not start throwing 12 in swimbaits..
Believe me I’m thinking about it 🤣🤣
What rod is that??
This was a little Shimano Sojourn 5' UL
I have question hope someone can help me im trying figure out what size of reel to get i have 5 ft ultralight spinning rod and 5'6 light power want to know what size of reel to use i have size 30 and 25 done some research some people are saying use 500 or 1000 would i be able use biggest reel as possible i can hold more line want do panfish crappie and bass trout would love here back. From someone
Happy to help! I would get a Daiwa or Shimano size 1000. If you go pflueger, get a size 25. Will be perfect 🤠
@@FishAnything ok thanks i really appreciate it love ur channel god bless for the reply wish you best hope ur channel blows up 🙏
Post more!?
I try my bestest! Making videos with a full time job is tough but I usually post 2/week
Online Outdoorsman hard work. Proud
