Just restocked the 1g Babyfish Micro Wobblers with 6 new colors added to the lineup.
These tiny handmade baits from Indonesia have become a favorite for ultralight anglers chasing trout, crappie, bluegill, perch, and more.

The bass pro XML ultralight is truly amazing for $100

Interested to see how these work on UL tackle, just picked them up

Have caught far bigger largies that fought way less. Fun fight in the river today

I’ve got a handful of Daiwa LT spinning reels in different models / sizes but I haven’t used a shallow spool reel before. I see a lot more of them offered for JDM and wondered why there weren’t more available in the U.S. Anyone have experience with them as far as casting better/worse/same?? I figured if they offered much more advantage you would see them in the US more often too.

I am sure there are other vendors with the same rod “re-badged”.

Four things I like: 1. Strong for bass light enough for blue gill 2. 6’6” good for casting distance. 3. Long butt handle 4. Eyelets are big enough that a braid-fluoro knot doesn’t hit. 5. Inexpensive.

The company name is Linnhue. They have a few different baits I can see. They recommend NED or dropshot. They are scented and float. $2-$3 for a pack of ten. Oh yes, stretchy material.

Eagle Claw 6’ Ultralite rod fitted with a Scylla 1000s 4oz carbon fiber reel with 8.8lb drag. 6lb mono with 8lb leader.

This rod was a bit longer than I like, but I couldn’t quit picking it up and wiggling it at the tackle shop. I was expecting to spend more on a rod for a bait caster that I went there looking for, but it was cheap, so my extra money bought this wet noodle. (I may name it Al Dente)

Anyway, got home and my extra reels were smoked, so I went to Amazon and picked up this fun little dude. Was advertised as a finesse and trout reel. But I’ll tell you after this last weekend, it catches little tiny bass, whitefish and largescale sucker fish all day.

If you see these yellow sticks in the store, don’t hesitate. They are a blast! Little 3-4” bass looking like you caught a tiger shark. Also an excellent and super smooth reel that worked flawlessly for 6hrs on the River.

EDIT TO ADD: last pic from my boat has my 4.5’ ugly stick. The zebco 33 micro trigger cast is just out of frame.

St Croix Premier 6'UL, Shimano Sahara 1000 and 6lb fluoro. Coming from a 4'8 uglystik this feels like a whole different type of fishing!

Just put this travel rod setup together and really liking it so far. Very lightweight in the hand.

Rod: Mallvos Resolute 6 foot, ultralight 4 piece. Very sensitive and doesn’t feel too much like a noodle. Can feel very light taps from small Bonefish.
Reel: Hauton LS500 off Aliexpress, cheap, feels surprisingly nice
