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!

The bass pro XML ultralight is truly amazing for $100

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I was wondering if I can swap one spool into another reel model from the same brand?
Thinking about putting a shallow spool on a reel that had a deep spool.

Thinking of getting the Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite Graphite 7’6 Ultra light rod but not sure what reel i should pair up with it? I seen the shimano sienna fg 500/1000 or even the 2000 or pflueger president 20 (its on sale 59.99). If any one else recommends a reel please met me know.
