I LOVE This Ultralight Rig When The Water Is Cold!

Рет қаралды 23,989

Жыл бұрын

I hit this body of water a couple times in the winter/spring transition with limited success before deciding to take a different approach in search of redemption... On this particular day, I decided to rig up an ultralight slip float rig to ensure I slowed down and kept my bait in the strike zone. It was definitely worth it!
The ultralight slip float rig is excellent all year long, but especially when the water temperature is cold and fish are inactive. In this video, I explain everything you need to start fishing it as well as my tips for how to retrieve this presentation. Let me know if you have additional questions!

Hey dude, just picked up a new ultralight rod, and thank you so much for introducing and inspiring me to ultralight fishing with your videos.

It’s crazy how effective one little plastic with appendages works under a bobber or just retrieving close to the bottom. The horsefly and the zman tiny ticklerz are awesome for that. I’m excited that zman is about to release two new micro finesse baits that I can catch all the fish I want with!

Very productive cold water trip my friend. You're playing right off my sheet of music. I used to write about this type of fishing in Midwest Outdoors Magazine from 1994-2010. I'd talk with people at the winter fishing shows and the reactions varied but we had some real eye opening looks. Great stuff. Blessings Ethan

I see you fishing without that serious issue and I'm jealous lol... i did notice less of an issue with flouro... i was using a pre spooled reel with mono but I'm guessing that it was on the reel for so long even though unused it was just bad with memory... again just line twist issues and line preferences

@garylake998 Жыл бұрын

Ethan, when you were trying to remove the jig and plastic horsefly, several fish had clamped down on it. We all got to see just how stretchy that plastic you use, and is the reason it will last and not tear off the jig like many other micro baits thanks for the link to Charles, he is worth listening to. 👍

Don’t have much experience with a slip float. I’ve always used a peg style bobber, but I hope casting is easier for me and my kids without all the extra line if we make the switch. Smells like spring 😊.

Wow those white perch are really similar to estuary perch in Australia. A holy grail one would be 50cm but anything over 40 is super good. Some say they are pound for pound THE best fighting fish in Australia. Which includes barramundi (also a perch species).

Any reason why you stopped with the BFS gear?

@FishAnything Жыл бұрын

Nothing wrong with BFS but it just isn't as good for the style of fishing I do. I like BFS for tight quarters fishing with baits in the 1/16oz range. Stuff like river/creek fishing with lots of brush around. So ultimately, I feel BFS is pretty niche and not as versatile as spinning.

@heckemXD Жыл бұрын

I'm curious if you have any opinion on one piece vs two piece rods, I recently just started fishing and been getting into ultra light stuff. I enjoyed your review of the Dobyns Sierra Trout and Panfish rod and it's convinced me to order it but can't seem to decide if I want to order the one or two piece rod. I also ordered a little batch of your mule fishing stuff I'm excited for it to arrive!

@FishAnything Жыл бұрын

Personally, I think 1 vs 2 piece isn't a huge deal for good rods. I typically prefer a one piece because I have the space and I would rather avoid it coming apart, but my Dobyns is a 2 piece and I can barely tell. Plus you have the ability to break it down if you ever need to so that is nice. Some cheaper rods in multiple pieces can come apart easy or get crooked, but most high end multipiece rods don't have that issue.

I appreciate the feedback. Looking forward to fishing some creeks with my new mule stuff when it comes on Thursday. Thanks again.

Honestly that bothered me when editing the video. Sometimes, it is easier to spot stuff when you are looking for it. Always committed to keeping our waterways clean. Mule donates thousands of dollars every year to great organizations like American Rivers or Living Lands & Waters. Take a look at them when you get a chance - both awesome nonprofits.
