I remember that color combo working there when we last fished together, seems like they really like it at that location. My local lake, they will eat anything as long as it has a chartruse head. 🤙🐟
Haha fanny pack season!!! Yeah yeah yeah! Gosh dang I love that bank fishing for smallies. A couple of nice chunkers. Change to the pond for some largies (and a crappie for good measure). Didnt know they had a Whopper Plopper 60. I thought the 75 was the smallest size they had. I've got to pick one of these up. I'm glad you got to bend that new Dobyns rod Ethan 👍
This is definitely not whippy! It’s like a toned down Texas rig rod. Stout feeling but has bend when the pressure is applied. Soft enough tip to give it casting distance on 1/16oz jigs. I’d say if you want a bfs setup for ned rigs, this is a great option. The Shimano sensilite 7’ L is also great for about 1/3 the price.
What’s the weight of those small lures you throw for bass? I usually do 1/8, haven’t tried smaller because I haven’t found a nice rod to throw 1/32-1/16
What's up ethan I just got my first order crime mule today. I was wondering if you could recommend a good ultra light spinning rod and reel that I can buy for around 125$
Hey there River Rat! Thanks for the support first off. Secondly, for $125, I think you will be able to get a very nice ultralight rod/reel. I plan to do some more experimenting with rods but I would look into something 5 to 6 feet in an UL power. I like my Daiwa Presso 4pc Travel Rod and my Shimano Sojourn. I have also heard good things about the Okuma Celilo. For a reel, I would get a Daiwa or Shimano in a size 1000. The Revros LT 1000 has been really good to me and it is like $45!
Yeah I try to show it usually but sometimes it is pointless and I don't want to waste your time. I only snagged a few times that day though - broke off one jig. I tend not to lose much gear but that is predominately because I use really light weights which do not get bogged down on the bottom.
Hard question to answer. It is definitely a higher quality rod but if I did it all over again, I would probably just fish a Sensilite. They have an almost identical weight distribution and taper to them.
BFS and Ned rigs were made for each other. Perfect combination.
This setup is perfect for this kind of gear!
It feels great to 'christen' a new rod. Good for you!
Haha heck yeah man! Always a great feeling :)
Thanks Ethan. Keep up the good work!
Thanks my man! Hope all is well :D

Yeah the Pasture Fire does well around here. Lots of lakes have so many small Bluegill that I think the fish like orange.
For sure!
Yes; a Bfs video 😃
I got you Gary :)
I'm a power fisherman to a fault, but BFS is taking my fishing to another level.
That is awesome to hear!
great vid!!!
Thank you 🤠👊🏽

Yeah the new WP 60 is going to be a lot of fun for us finesse guys :D Thanks Fitzy - have a good day!
I was there may 2nd by miller Creek it was maybe 6ft lower than your video I got the skunk and a 3 mile hike the spawn is not up there yet
Not sure that we are fishing the same spot! I am unfamiliar with Miller Creek!
@@FishAnything I commented to a different video dont know how it got put here 😆
Hi Ethan, what reel do you have on that rod. I would love to be able to cast a Mule jig on a casting rod.
This is a Shimano Aldebaran BFS 12 XG!
I've caught more fish off the pasture fire donkey tail than any other bait. It really is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Thanks Charles I am really happy to hear it is working so well for you!!
good vid keep them up
Will do thanks Ashten :D
You think #15 braid would be overkill?
It should be fine but I don’t think I’d go any higher
How whippy is that rod? I want BFS but not a limp noodle. And I love me some Dobyns. Have 3 of their rods

I like 1/16oz Mule Jigs for my Ned Rig gear :)
What line and size did you use?
I think I was using nanofil of some type in this video but I have since switched to 10lb braid

The fish weren't biting that day im surprised you caught 2
I am one with the smallmouth
I know you don't show it, but how often do you get snagged? Do you lose a lot of jigs? Just asking.

Is that a suf700c or suf701c
700C!
Love my 700C
Definitely a nice rod!
Is the Dobyns worth the extra money over the Sensalite for bass fishing?
Hard question to answer. It is definitely a higher quality rod but if I did it all over again, I would probably just fish a Sensilite. They have an almost identical weight distribution and taper to them.
@@FishAnything Good to know. Thanks!
is it worth the extra $$ over the sensilite?
Hard to say, but I don't think so. I would honestly just get a Sensilite for $50.
@@FishAnything my old sensilite is at the bottom of a lake and I really enjoyed it, I agree, worth more than the price you pay. THank you
Does that rod work for trout
@@fairladyz9957 ultralights are perfect for trout
👍
:)
5:57 Nope, not that way 😹
team dink!
4 Life :D

You da man J.T!
Hey bro what’s the reel and the line this would be perfect for my location
Shimano Aldebaran 12 BFS XG with 6lb Nanofil!
