Not only giving away free tackle but also moving away from a hot spot so that them kids could have a good time, you sir sure earned my respect, new subd here.
Hey man, found your channel 4 days ago and love your vids. I wanted to buy some of your Mule jigs for my crappie fishing in the early June but found on your website all but your biggest ones are sold out... BUMMER!!! Keep up the great content!
Recently I've started trying to stop carrying an ultralight with me because I'm so confident with it that it hinders my learning of newer techniques... But UL has gotten me into creek wading and I've never enjoyed fishing that much. Thanks Ethan!
Haha that’s totally fair! It’s always a crutch you can lean on. Best to have some discipline and bring what you truly want to fish with and improve your skills with.
Great multispecies day with a ton of action. I've been doing exactly that lately; bringing a UL in case the bass bite is null. And if you catch a bass on the UL, that's just bonus! Great time out there Ethan!
Another great video and I'm real happy to see that more anglers is giving away lures to next generation fisherman. I do it a lot. Ultralight is the way 👍
I usually always have an ultralight or two in my boat. I use 1" gulp minnows and honey worms mainly. Like you, i often start chasing the smaller fish when the bass fishing isn't going as planned. A group of bedding panfish is a recipe for loads of fun.
I always carry two ultra light rods. I have one set up with mono for top water and jigs and one set up with braid for small crank baits. I recently caught a 4 1/2 lb bass on a Strike King Bitsy Minnow and I was glad to have the braided line, it gives me more confidence that I will land a fish without worry of my line breaking 🎣🐟😊! I love your channel, brother, tight lines 👍🏽!!!
You slayed them, great choice with the ultralight. Never fails me to turn a day around. And I too am a cocker spaniel with ADHD. When I'm not locked in I'm skylarking. Look at those fish wait is that a hawk or an eagle??? Squirrel!
Thanks to your videos, I just picked up that Dobyns Sierra ultra light rod so I can have a dedicated panfish setup. I have a couple of Dobyns Fury rods for bass fishing and they are great. Need something so I can throw those donkey tail juniors.
Ultralight seems to give a little bit more scope as to what you might catch. There's a time for big fish specific 'restrictive' techniques but isn't it nice to get back to a fun 'simple' approach to catch a bit of every thing
Smart man! I used to be soooo into bass fishing but I sure am glad I have discovered such a love for multispecies fishing. It is much more fun and usually more successful :)
Love your vids. Let me help you catch those big bass. Put on a Yamamoto thin 5” senko, any dark color. That color catches all bass. Hook it wacko with no weight. Cast it out let it sink and lift and repeat. Be slow and patient. Or site fish the bigger ones. If you only just want to fish the monsters use the the 5” fatter sized ones.
I always bring a ultra light rig with me know matter what I am fishing for walleye or bass because, at the end of the day I just need to feel a hook set
@@FishAnything Easy to catch too. I rarely catch them in my lake except at the spawn. I think they head to deep water after the spawn and are harder to find.
Hey you had a video that I commented on that was 11 months old titled “worst part about bass fishing” I’d like to know the exact set up you use I love it it looks fun as hell
Ethan you are truly an ultralight multi species wizard! I want to pick up some donkey tail and donkey tail jr's. What do you think would be the one best all around color to start with? I will be picking up other colors as well later down the road when the jigs come back in stock. I fish mostly weedy lakes if that helps
Thank you very much Daniel! Honestly I launched all 6 colors because I feel they will all have a time and a place but they are also all pretty versatile. If I could only choose one for any given situation, I would go with good ol' fashioned black. Can't beat it! Thank you for the support!!
Do you have a how to video on techniques for ultralight fishing? I'd like to see if you are slow retrieving or jigging or just letting it sit waiting for a bite. Love your vids bro. Ordered some lures from Mule and it's on it's way.
Thanks for the support! I made a video in the fall last year about 5 ultralight techniques you need to know. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/uRGC2Rpn9xQ/video.html
@@FishAnything Yep, saw that and many of your other vids. Love them all. But I was wondering if you have some where I can really see the technique in action. Like once the jig hits the water, how far down it goes before you jig it or slow retrieve or twitch it. Stuff like that. I always wonder if I'm retrieving way too fast.
I love it and appreciate how lightweight it is. Don't think you need to spend that kind of $ on a spinning reel unless you just want to go fancy from time to time haha. To be fair, if you fish a ton, the higher end spinning reels will last you a lot longer than budget gear. Pros and cons.
I have been using that Keitech Easy Shaker a lot lately. Very soft and tears up easily but it is a nice design. I think I prefer the Kut Tail though. Just experimenting!
Kayak fishermen talking about "monster fish" or "he smashed it" have never fished in the ocean or even a large lake. Those have real meaning of monster
Lol I won’t fight you on this but I will let you know that GoPros have wide angle lenses. If I hold a fish a long way away from the lens, it will look smaller. Have a good day!

Always carry an ultralight rig! It's the key to never getting skunked and still having a blast on the water!
that is a fact
Charles - the fact that this comment has 10 likes right now clearly shows that you are a very smart and wise man :)
@@FishAnything I mean, most days I'm not very wise but one thing I do know is one of my favorite ways to fish is with an ultra light!
Not only giving away free tackle but also moving away from a hot spot so that them kids could have a good time, you sir sure earned my respect, new subd here.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!

Keep your eyes peeled for stock. They are great jigs!
Thank you so much! I am so sorry for the inconvenience but please stay tuned, I am working diligently and should have them back in stock very soon :)
All ways carry a ultralight with my my bass gear 😆 NICE catches and get a micro power pole on your kayak
Oh my gosh I would love a Micro Power Pole. Tell them to send me one and I will happily use it haha I ain't paying for that fancy thing.
Recently I've started trying to stop carrying an ultralight with me because I'm so confident with it that it hinders my learning of newer techniques... But UL has gotten me into creek wading and I've never enjoyed fishing that much. Thanks Ethan!
Haha that’s totally fair! It’s always a crutch you can lean on. Best to have some discipline and bring what you truly want to fish with and improve your skills with.
I always make sure to drag my ultralight along 😂 tight lines Ethan
You'd be crazy not to! Too much fun :)
Great multispecies day with a ton of action. I've been doing exactly that lately; bringing a UL in case the bass bite is null. And if you catch a bass on the UL, that's just bonus! Great time out there Ethan!
Exactly! I feel like you and I are the same angler lol
@@FishAnything we ate fishing brothers from other mothers 🤣
Good KStater, being a good ambassador to the man and the kid on the dock. And you are right always pack an ultralight!
Thank you Kevin! Go Cats :D hope you have been catching some fish lately!
Great Video! 👍🏻😎 My wife thought it was so nice of you to help the kids out and give them lures. 👍🏻💯
Thank you J.T! Just doing what I can to help inspire a love for fishing :) that is what it is all about!
Awesome video!!! I always carry my ultralight with me as well...tight lines 🐟🎣
Thank you :D ultralight is the best!
Ultralight 4 life!!! The official rig for Team Dink!!!! Great video Ethan, thank you!!!!
Thank you Tom! Yesssssir it is. UL 4 LIFE!

Exactly! We only have so much time to fish, might as well catch something :)
Just watched this video in October. Good on you for giving the kids some tackle to try. Great video and thanks for making it.
Thank you Paul :) Always gotta spread the love with the next generation!

Sounds like a great system! A 4.5 lb bass on UL is nuts! Nice work :)
You slayed them, great choice with the ultralight. Never fails me to turn a day around. And I too am a cocker spaniel with ADHD. When I'm not locked in I'm skylarking. Look at those fish wait is that a hawk or an eagle??? Squirrel!
Haha glad I am not the only one!!
Congrats!
Thank you!!
Yer the man E-Money! too cool of ya to hook that family up!
Thanks ferrr showin n sharin amigo! :)
Of course! Just doing what I can to help folks appreciate the sport of fishing :D
I always carry 3 light action rods and just one baitcaster. The dark crappie are the males. They get really black like that around the spawn.
Yeah that is what I read! And yea, I pretty much never leave home without an ultralight these days lol
Everything about this vid was just plain awesome
Well you just made my day :) thanks for watching Matt!
Most excellent day!!!
Thanks JP!
5:29 was that bubbles from tpb 🤣. I love this channel
Lol I have fun with it :) thank you for the support and kind words!
Awesome video great day of fishing and the ultra light never fails love it
Ya buddy! Thanks for watching as usual Sterling :)
You had a great day in the water, thanks for sharing. Spaghetti sounds good for dinner!
I LOVE SPAGHETTI. Thanks for watching David :)
Thanks to your videos, I just picked up that Dobyns Sierra ultra light rod so I can have a dedicated panfish setup. I have a couple of Dobyns Fury rods for bass fishing and they are great. Need something so I can throw those donkey tail juniors.
Oh man you’re gonna love it! That rod is the bee’s knees
@@FishAnything it is supposed to get into the 50s later this week so hopefully I will get a chance to take it for a test run and catch some gills.
Ultralight seems to give a little bit more scope as to what you might catch. There's a time for big fish specific 'restrictive' techniques but isn't it nice to get back to a fun 'simple' approach to catch a bit of every thing
Yeah with my busy schedule, I just find that I have a lot more fun with UL gear and going after anything. Much more relaxing!
👍
Multi species is the way to go. Never leave the house saying I’m going bass fishing. Just fishing.
Smart man! I used to be soooo into bass fishing but I sure am glad I have discovered such a love for multispecies fishing. It is much more fun and usually more successful :)
@@FishAnything agreed. Usually turns a day of fishing into a day of catching. Using light gear makes it just as fun
Love your vids. Let me help you catch those big bass. Put on a Yamamoto thin 5” senko, any dark color. That color catches all bass. Hook it wacko with no weight. Cast it out let it sink and lift and repeat. Be slow and patient. Or site fish the bigger ones. If you only just want to fish the monsters use the the 5” fatter sized ones.
Heck yeah you can't go wrong with Senkos! Thanks John :)
Great video!! Are you going to come out with a full tour of your kayak soon?? Keep it up!!
That is a good suggestion - I will keep it in mind and try to show it off more in the future. Thanks Yowty!
Awesome video! would love some more trout vids
I will have to get out there and chase a few!
Dang, Is that the Sierra Ultralight?! Its AMAZING
This rod kicks butt!!
I always bring a ultra light rig with me know matter what I am fishing for walleye or bass because, at the end of the day I just need to feel a hook set
Your darn right! Sounds like we are the same :)
That looks like a fun day. You got into a mess of crappie. Hope those kids tore it up on the donkey tails when you left. good stuff
I sure hope so too! They had a ton of crappie by them so I expect they did just fine :) thanks as always for the support my friend.
Spawning crappie are always really dark up in my neck of the woods at least. (CT).
Interesting! They are really dark black like that this time of year when the males are protecting beds. It is really neat!
@@FishAnything Easy to catch too. I rarely catch them in my lake except at the spawn. I think they head to deep water after the spawn and are harder to find.
It's the lucky hat I'm telling ya! Lol
Great day of fishing right there man!!!
Haha so it's not my skills??? :)
@@FishAnything ok... But everyone needs a lucky Mule fishing supply hat in our arsenal 😁💪👊💯
Hey you had a video that I commented on that was 11 months old titled “worst part about bass fishing” I’d like to know the exact set up you use I love it it looks fun as hell
I replied! Thanks for watching Evan!
Try marabou jigs like 1/64-1/32 oz including 1/48 oz. Also please try trout magents.
Thanks for the suggestions! Always looking to try new gear :)
Ethan you are truly an ultralight multi species wizard! I want to pick up some donkey tail and donkey tail jr's. What do you think would be the one best all around color to start with?

Fish on!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH BUDDY!
Illegal here though Bed fishing..Ive got into UL myself this summer. Normally carp fisherman but branching off.
Wait... It is illegal to fish with an ultralight during the spawn? That seems odd. What if you are targeting smaller game fish?
@@FishAnythingOoops sorry Not what i meant it use to be illegal to cast in a spawning bed in this state. Although apparently im told not anymore...
Do you have a how to video on techniques for ultralight fishing? I'd like to see if you are slow retrieving or jigging or just letting it sit waiting for a bite. Love your vids bro. Ordered some lures from Mule and it's on it's way.

5:27 you sounded like bubbles lol
LMAO! Dude I never realized that while editing but holy crap that sounded just like him. I wish I could do that voice more now. I don't know how to XD
Just found you today. I like your vids! new sub
Thank you so much!
hey thank you , whats net you are using , hard find net which not tangle to your bait hooks ?
It’s a cheap “Foreverlast” net from Amazon. Was like $25!
What are those long, ultralight worms that you're using here?
I was using keitech easy shakers in this vid to start!
what finesse worms were you using on the mule jig there ?
Keitech Easy Shaker
Hey Ethan is that reel a 1000 or size 2000?
Size 1000!
I can’t tell you are standing on that kayak. What is it?
Old Town Sportsman PDL 120!
How do you like that Tatula spinning reel? I have a harder time dropping that money on a spinning reel vs a baitcaster. Worth it?
I love it and appreciate how lightweight it is. Don't think you need to spend that kind of $ on a spinning reel unless you just want to go fancy from time to time haha. To be fair, if you fish a ton, the higher end spinning reels will last you a lot longer than budget gear. Pros and cons.
It is like trying to catch bluegill and catching bull head instead
Nothing wrong with that lol
What type of worm is that?
I have been using that Keitech Easy Shaker a lot lately. Very soft and tears up easily but it is a nice design. I think I prefer the Kut Tail though. Just experimenting!
Do you have any trout vids coming up?
Not at this time but I will definitely keep this suggestion in mind. Thanks Rusty!
How do you haul around your kayak?
I eat my wheaties and toss that hefty fella on my roof racks lol
What rod and size reel is that
I’m asking about the gloomis and shimano setup what size both the rod and reel
Discontinued G Loomis GL2 Mag Light Drop Shot Rod / Shimano Stradic Ci4 2500 --- this is my absolute go-to Ned rod/reel.
Kayak fishermen talking about "monster fish" or "he smashed it" have never fished in the ocean or even a large lake. Those have real meaning of monster
I like to think that random commenters on CZcams are typically the best fishermen and know more than anyone else.
@@FishAnything negative, not just some rando, just done enough fishing to know the difference 😆
No matter the size of fish you caching fish
Dang right 🤠🤪
Always carry a micro fishing rig and never get skunked
Dang right!
This is how one ends up putting a single grain of rice on a micro fishing hook.
#TeamUltraLight for sure. Don’t leave home without it. Another fun video.👍
Lol nothing wrong with downsizing to make sure you catch something!
That bass is no near two pounds! Let's be factual!
Lol I won’t fight you on this but I will let you know that GoPros have wide angle lenses. If I hold a fish a long way away from the lens, it will look smaller. Have a good day!
