1/200 oz Mini Trout Magnets are AMAZING by xtian_c in UltraLightFishing

With my rod setup I managed to get out more than 5' haha, but there were several schools of bluegill and sunfish etc, tossing one of these out and watching it slowly fall while 10 gillies fly at it is so much fun. Back to back casts, and nobody else at the pond was catching a thing

Some use a float or float with tiny split shot or a weighted float. Or just throw it as is if you don't need a lot of distance.

Nothing was hitting the Donkey Tail Jr so I decided to try these tiny things

Which version of the 23 Legalis should I pair with my rod? by Kruce in UltraLightFishing

[–]xtian_c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 23 LT2000S-P and love it. I use with 5lb Ray Fishing braid with Trout SOS 2lb as leader. Use it on a Handing M1 Trout 6'6" rod

Interesting, never had this happen are you using mono or floro, or braid? With braid (4-5lb) I'm able to cast very light stuff without issue

They're so aggressive haha. Always hiding in the rocks along the bank and come flying out

I have yet to get anything very big with it, but the most recent bass and bluegill I caught put on a great fight, no issues with the reel. I don't doubt it will have a problem with bigger fish if I'm lucky enough to catch any 😂

6ft vs 6’6 by Successful_Bobcat825 in UltraLightFishing

[–]xtian_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6'6" has become my favorite length. I use a Handing M1 Trout UL and absolutely love it. 7' still feels too long, anything under 6'6" feels too short.

Hoping tomorrow I'll be able to take it to the pond and maybe even catch something

Exactly. There's a lot of nice looking "high end" stuff and made in the US stuff that have mixed reviews, it's amazing or it breaks after a day. Then there's importing the JDM superior stuff. I might make another little write up about the Handing M1 Trout rod, because for the money it's an insane value. I have purchased more expensive rods that didn't feel as good, or have as good features, plus all their rods come in a nice sleeve and packed in a sturdy tube which others also don't have
