BEST LURES: This 1-2 Punch Saves the Day Any Day! Catch Tons of Fish #ultralightfishing #bfsfishing
If you are interested in getting some of the Mule Fishing baits, please use my affiliate link to support my channel: www.mulefishing.com/?aff=7
In this video, I highlight two set ups that yield great results. I spill the beans on a system that has caught me thousands of fish.
One set up is a super ultralight spinning rod with 2 pound line featuring the donkey tail Jr soft plastic bait.
Here are the exact specs:
Rod: JDM Shimano Cardiff AX 62XUL-F
Reel: JDM Shimano Soare BB 500
Line: 2lb Trilene XL Smooth Casting
Lure: 1.25g iFish BG jighead and Mule Fishing Donkey Tail Jr
Link for rod: jdmtackleheaven.com/products/shimano-21-cardiff-ax-s62xul-f?_pos=6&_sid=025e15948&_ss=r
Link for jigheads: ifishtackle.com/collections/jigs
This setup catches tons and tons of numbers. I have had more 100+ fish days within a one month period with this bait than any other. When this setup doesn’t seem to produce due to conditions (muddy/windy water) or I am looking for that bigger bite I opt for my second weapon:
Rod: Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse 700c
Reel: JDM Shimano SLX BFS
Line: Varivas Big Trout Nylon 8lb (this line is super thin for 8lb, other lines I would choose 5-6lb). This Varivas line fishes similar to 6lb.
Lure: Berkley Fishing Money Badger Crankbait 1/5oz
Link for Berkley Money Badger: www.tacklewarehouse.com/Berkley_Money_Badger_4_Crankbaits/descpage-BFMB4.html
Link for Megabass Griffon BFS: thehookuptackle.com/products/griffon-sr-x-bfs?variant=43405739098279&_pos=1&_psq=griffon+&_ss=e&_v=1.0
The Berkley Money Badger and the Megabass Griffon BFS Crankbaits have allowed me to go from having a 0 bass day to 20+ in some situations. The same could be said about jdm bfs spinnerbaits like the Evergreen D-Zone, but I seem to catch so many more with the bfs cranks.
This 1-2 punch has saved the day many times for me, and I am sure you will enjoy it as well. You can fish the bfs crankbait in conditions less optimal for the super ultralight presentation and still have a blast on light gear. Most high-pressure lakes do not see a lot of downsized presentations as well to give you an upper hand. Thank you for watching and be sure to like and subscribe if this is up your alley!

    @rogerharvey3835 Před 4 dny

    I’ve been using that exact rig for over a decade now. Super ultra light, 1” grub, 1/32oz jig head. And have caught slab gills, monster crappie, both large and smallmouth, even a few small stream walleye and a handful of respectable pike. I don’t only fish that rig exclusively, but my smallest ultra light is dedicated to the 1/32 oz jug and it is never far from hand. I’ll often still fish, minnows and shiners under a slip bobber, while casting that jig. However, when it comes to bedding bluegills, nothing will beat fly fishing, size 12 or smaller nymph will often catch gills one after another when they’re even refusing garden worms. I get the idea that when it comes to spawning gill’s you can’t fish too small. I look forward all winter to fly fishing for bedding gills from a float tube late may and early June, absolute favorite season.

    I have been ultra light fishing since I was about 8 or 9 ill be 45 soon. I still use this similar set up. I use to use white or a chartreuse grub. One mourning me and my neighbor went in my small boat we tied to a old natural gas well and caught over 100 bass. They were so schooled to that spot that day.

      The iprimi rods are not sensitive at all. Presso line much better all around

  • @72twist
    @72twist Před 21 dnem

    I've heard that part of the rod (the gap) referred to as a "spigot", the raw carbon section. It supposed to be that way. As the graphite slowly wears away from repeatedly taking it down and putting it together (thousands of times), it can shorten to the point that the two rod ends will not fully seat. It prolongs the life of the rod. I tend to keep my rods together, so its not an issue. I've heard you can bring it back with dry graphite spray if it gets to bad.

      I get your frustration but have fished 30k+ acre lakes growing up my whole life before live scope. This fish would have never been found if it wasn’t for the sonar in deep water. That being said. I beat the bank more than I scope and actually fish about half my trips on a boat with no electronics at all (pelican bass raider)

      Yes I’m aware. But when running next to no drag on 2lb line it’s inevitable in some scenarios if the fish is over a pound. I still see very little line twist issues fortunately but get what you’re saying.
