Ultralight Fishing A Brand New MICRO CRAW!
Vložit

- This micro craw has been in the works for a long time now so I am beyond excited to finally launch it. Introducing the Mule Fishing Burro Bug, a 1.8" crayfish imitator designed to catch multispecies on light or ultralight fishing gear.
Mule Fishing Product Release Video: • Introducing The Burro ...
In today's video, I took the kayak out and exclusively fished with the Burro Bug both on Mule Jigs and on a micro drop shot. Overall, it produced a lot of bites and a few decent bass along the way. Personally, as much fun as this was, I am even more excited to use this bait while creek and river fishing this summer.
There was a lot of thought put into the design of this bait, especially around the dimensions. It was important to me that the size was natural but also gave anglers the ability to rig in numerous ways. This bait can rig up clean on the entire Mule jig lineup as well as drop shots, split shots, and Texas rigs. Additionally, the bait is symmetrical so you can rig it on both sides to enhance the life of the plastic.

Thank you so much Josh!
Ordered! These are going to be 🔥 on the creeks for smallies
I am so excited for creek and river smallie fishing. Let me know how it goes :)
Just ordered all of them thank you for all of your hard work 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
THANK YOU DAN 👊🏽👊🏽
Just got them in the mail today Outstanding thank you 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Argh.... Ethan is like a dealer, always has the good stuff!
Crack for anglers...LOL... I just ordered several.. wait till he does a micro hellgramite or stonefly... :)
That would be good for some shoal bass
@@ldsudduthhanover and now you are an enabler! I love it...
Ethan is going to be the pond and creek guru with all of these awesome products that he has now let alone what he is planning.
@@FounderOf4 Happy to be of service.. :D
Lol sorry guys! I’m just trying to make stuff that helps us catch fish in a variety of situations 🤠🫶🏽
They look like delicious little fish snacks. Also got to appreciate the value as well. I would have figured 6 packs
I always try my best to keep things affordable and effective. I’m very pleased that 8 of these can catch hundreds of fish for a little over 5 bucks
Of course these drop right after I receive an order 😭😭😭
OOF Sorry about that Wendell. Thank you for the support!
Dude, you know exactly what to put out every time! I've been waiting for this exact soft plastic to come out.
That’s awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words and support 🫶🏽
Great new addition to the mule lineup!
Thank you very much, Josh. Tight lines :)
Love it man! Particularly love how much the claws kick. Gonna be a killer for what’s missing in most ultralight crawfishy presentations.
Thank you Hunter!! I can't wait to see what you get on it.
I just got my bugs in the mail, and wow, what a sick looking little critter. I cant wait to feel the thump of a nice crappie!
Keep me posted on the catches! Thanks so much 🤠
I finally ordered some today. I was killing it with the "trout slayer" micro craw, last week, but thats the ONLY other micro craw ive seen, so thank you for delivering exactly what us ulteliters need!!
I hope you love these as much as I do, Anthony! Thanks for the support
I ordered all colors. You're line of lures is superior. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Keith!
Another item to add to the mule lineup. Just ordered all the colors!
Thanks so much Mat!!
Man and I just reloaded with a bunch of Mule minnows… I need more $$$ 😂. Looks like a winner on this side of the screen 🤷🏻♂️ 👊🏼.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I have been! Thanks as always Brian
Wow thanks for the great upload. I'll have to pick some up for creek smallies!
Thank you! Keep me posted on how they work for you :)
Just ordered the GP and RH. Looking forward to putting them to work!
Thank you! Truly means the world to me. Lmk how the fishing goes :)
I think it's the best shape yet for your plastics!🦞 GREAT JOB ETHAN!!!🙌🏻🎣👍🏻
Thank you so much, Michael. I agree :)
Should be delivered today, hopefully I'll be able to get then in a creek this weekend 🙌
I’m so happy you’ve been having early success
I was playing around with this in the pool and love the action…great design Ethan! Can’t wait to try it out for real.
Keep me posted on how it works for you! Thanks Sean 🧡
Leaving this Saturday for a trip to Ohio and Tennessee, definitely getting some fishing in! Will definitely let you know!
Bout 2 go, wished I could try out a few! We are completely washed out down South as well, prolly be 2 weeks before water is about right!
Bummer! We have had a ton of rain this spring up in Michigan. Our rivers are slowly coming back down.
Just bought a lot😂😂 great video as always.
Thank you so much, Adrienne!
Congrats on the new release! Can't wait to try them out when I place my next order
Thank you so much :)
Good stuff. Just ordered a selection to get us going.
Thanks so much Tim :D
I love your videos!!! Also I love ultralight fishing!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks Sasha! Tight lines :)
I sure wish I had somewhere to go fishing! I wish I had a friend to go fishing with! No friends after the first year since wife's death!
I am sorry, Jon. Hang in there and I will certainly pray for you. I definitely think joining some kind of local support group could be a great way to get in touch with others going through a similar loss.
@@FishAnything I have been going to those just haven't found my place if new chapter of my life!
Great ultralight video Ethan. Looked like a blast, the same one we had Saturday before the cold front pushed through the Chicago area. Lots of healthy bass but no giants. It's getting fun, just need the weather to stabilize. It's ultralight and light action time brother!!
Heck yeah Brian. One day at a time. Before you know it it will be hot :)
Great addition to the lineup. Can't wait to give it a try
Thanks Jeff! I’m really excited about this one
Dang Ethan, now you come out with something else I have to buy! I already got the Bronco Blades.
Haha I’m sorry Ken!
@@FishAnything You make good stuff and you stand behind your word, it’s a pleasure doing business with you. I just placed my order and can’t wait to try them out.
I am so excited to give these baits a try. I am a Creek fisherman, so I'm sure I will catch a ton of fish with these lures. I ordered one of each color. Awesome video by the way!
Thanks so much for the continued support! Keep me posted on how they work for you!
I’ll need 10 packs!😂 just as I said i was going to cut my fishing spending 🤦🏼♂️😂
Cut down on other things, like eating. Problem solved
@@CatchReleaseRepeat did that. Got lots of jigs and plastics! Worth it
Haha sorry bud! Thanks so much for the support. I do not recommend cutting down on eating for more gear though :D
@@FishAnything haha just kidding about the eating. But did get more mule jigs and plastics! Can’t wait to try the burro bug on the back of a tiny keitech tungsten guard jig.
I’ve been fishing micro craws for a few years now and I do like them. I don’t know if I have any with the flappy claws though. Definitely want to try it.
I think you’ll like them! 👊🏽
Dangit i just place my order this past weekend, guess im gonna need to order again now
And done!
Haha thanks again buddy. You know I appreciate you!
A good product sells itself. The only problem is that your whole line up are good products so i have to buy one of everything.
Didn't even finish the video simply paused and put the order in for the lure. Super excited to try it. Thanks for awesome video.
Truly appreciate that Thomas!
Great video, great looking bait, ordered 2.
Thank you so much Mike!
Been waiting for these!!! Ordered even before I watched the video! Yes sir! My Spring time Mule jig and soft plastic order should be here tomorrow, but I'm even more excited to get these crawfish! The others were basically replacements / backup stock. I must say I've never caught a fish on a drop shot of any size, but I'm gonna try the micro drop shot rig with the craws as soon as I get them. I fish a very grassy bottom pond in NC so I'm hoping that will be the trick that works now that it's starting to grow again. It was 84 degrees today! What happened to SPRING???
Oof sorry spring skipped you! And thank you so much for all the ongoing support. Keep me posted on how the craw and drop shot works for you!!
@@FishAnything I mostly fish in an "old" pond where the fishing has gone from Bass in the 5 - 9 lb. range several years ago, to if and when you do catch bass, they are 1/2 - 3/4 lb. average. I mostly pan fish fish it with ultra lite gear now. My first 5 casts with the Horsefly on a 1/64 oz. mule jig produced two crappie. I caught two bluegill and one crappie on the craw, but only after switching from the drop shot to the 1/64 oz. jig head. The fishing has just been really slow partially due to the nature of the pond and partially because of our NC weather. It's so up and down right now. We went from a couple of days with highs of 80 degrees back down to 40 - 45 degree lows at night and 60 -63 degree highs during the day. It's crazy! Bluegill and Bass moved onto beds for 2 - 3 days, then they left. I'm still waiting to catch my first drop shot fish. I dd make a really cool catch for my first Mule Minnow 1.2 fish. 1/64 oz. mule jig with the Dakota Sunrise 1.2". A White Perch! Slammed it! It was the last fish of a 5 fish 5 hour day! Fished the drop shot for about an hour and a half then went to the 1/64 oz. mule jig head. 2 bluegill, 2 crappie, and the white perch. Blessings!
👀 that little jig there looks totally awesome and epic, for sure it does. Also I know exactly what you're talkin about here.
Here in Pennsylvania, it's been raining, thunder and lightning and very windy as well plus a lot of the water is up like really high.
I haven't really been out fishing lately myself and that stinks because of the weather.
Nicely well and please keep up the great work that you've been doing.
Thanks Shawn! Hope you get into some big ones this spring :)
@@FishAnything
You're very welcome and I thank you as well
Already put my first order in!
Thank you very much, Jason!
Been waiting for this one! Lets go!
YEEEEEEEHAW
Got my donkey Jr yesterday and immediately hit a beautiful crappie on third cast.
I LOVE IT! Thanks Clifton :)
That new beat looks sweet.
Thanks LBF! Hope you are having a great spring.
Can't wait to give them a try picking me up one of every color thanks for the awesome video my friend
Thank you so much, I appreciate the support.
My local creek is FULL of little craws so these are gonna be perfect for me!!
Heck yeah!!
ETHAN! I just placed an order for your jig 1/32oz and donkeys! I cant wait to toss them in the ponds here across Lake MI (Im in WI).
Amazing - I truly appreciate your support!!
Got a bigger order lined up I'm hoping to get the cash for before late June where I've got a really nice friendly derby at a private stocked pond (bass, catfish, perch, bluegill, etc) that I know has so.e.savage bluegill and perch bite.
We'll see, if not I'll still post a update using the black horsefly and 1/80/1/64 mule jig, got a feelin it's gonna rock out there!
Thanks so much! I hope you crush them in your friendly derby. Keep me posted on the results :)
Ethan I have just received my burro bug. Thank you sir for a very fast delivery
Thank you again for the support :)
Dang Ethan. You're going to take more of my money 😂. Those look great. I'm new to creek fishing. How do plan on presenting these in a creek?
Haha sorry Vince! Thank you for the support. For creek fishing, I will fish them on a light Mule Jig primarily. You can also run them on other tiny skirted jigs and texas rigs though
Just put in my order.
Thank you so much!!
Just like Mark said. As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I thought "welp, gonna need to put in an order soon" haha
Haha well you know I appreciate it, Matty!
Dang, now I need to order some…lol. But seriously I do run across a lot of small pond bass, and these would be perfect.
Hope you put them to good use :) thanks for the support as always!
Looks great! Will be a nice addition to the plastics lineup!
Thank you Aaron! I appreciate the support.
Thinking free rigging it?! Nice looking bait!
Dude, a micro free rig would be amazing!
Definitely worth a try! I don't really use a free rig but might just have to try :)
As a local I like trying to guess where you’re fishing at. Always happy when I can figure it out even if I e never fished the lake before.
Haha heck yeah man! If you ever see me out and about, make sure to say hi!
Ordered 👏
Thank you so much!!
I’ve seen hundreds of bass this week. I might’ve caught one. I’m about to give this drop shot a shot. I haven’t wiggled one of those in their face yet. 😂
They can sometimes be challenging when they cruise around! I like making long casts with slow falling baits. Tight lines man
Definitely will be ordering these!
Thank you so much Jorge!
Looks juicy. Like the pasture fire and rodeo clown options.
Thank you Jessie!! Truly appreciate the support.
Ab to place my order rn!! 🔥🔥
Thank you so much :)
Just bought a bunch :)
Truly appreciate it!
the diawa kage is my favorite rod
It’s a really solid stick! One of my top favorites too
You should try out the REBEL crickhopper ultralight hard bait! Absolute banger in my area!
I love that little bait!
Loved the video just put my order in can’t wait to get everything Thanks for the awesome products as always❤
I hope you crush fish on them! Thank you 🫶🏽
@@FishAnything i’m out here now caught the most fish i have in awhile 2 blue gill and lost count on bass probably close to 10 though ❤️
That lure is my favorite so far. Your just trying to make me broke lol
Haha that isn't the goal! The good news is that you can catch a lot of fish per pack :)
I'm not a creature bait guy, tbh I haven't used a horsefly yet. Maybe this will be the lure that does it for me
Hopefully it does! To each his own :)
Lol, had to switch over and buy a couple packs! Now i can finish the video!
Thank you so much that really means a lot Steve!
Just ordered mine
Truly appreciate it, Joshua!
Dadgummit Ethan! More well thought out and effective lures that I HAVE TO BUY?! 🤣 wtf dude?!
While you're at it, why don't you just make a 1.8" stick bait that's perfect for micro ned rigs... 🤔
Haha chop off the claws and watch what happens with these… 🤠
always fun to watch whatever you fish for but... pike mission anytime soon?
Definitely on my list. I’d like to do a pike series and a smallmouth series this year if I get the time
Man I finally hit a pb yesterday afternoon finally caught a 2lb crappie on a float and fly
Awesome! Congrats man!!
Think this will be a killer micro shrimp mimic as well by cutting off those claws!
Or maybe just stick with the Horse fly.
Oh well, will have to try both :)
Haha well you need to let me know how it works for you! It is definitely a beefier bait than the Horse Fly.
@@FishAnything I have a BFS rod ordered since Christmas but they haven’t gotten to ship it out yet, but I definitely will.
I’m waiting for the new Calcutta conquest BFS
I've been really digging my Mule Fishing baits and jig heads. They're so durable. 🔥🔥🔥
That’s the goal! Thanks so much 🫶🏽
These look fantastic! What color or colors would you recommend for dirty water? Most of the ponds/creeks in the areas I fish are not the clearest bodies of water.
Thank you Benjamin! I would go with the Black and Blue for dirty and the pasture fire or rodeo clown for stained.
@@FishAnything Thanks for the tip! I’ll be purchasing some soon!
#Foconoultralight Nice micro lure 🔥🎣
Thanks Bruno!
Ethan , I love the videos and your channel is my favorite. One question..what kind of table keeper do you use for your jig heads? I was hoping you sold that on Mule fishing. Thanks and keep the great content.
Thank you so much, Steve. When you say "table keeper" what do you mean? If you are referring to my little jig box, that is actually a cheap fly box that I simply added a Mule sticker to.
Ethan what are some of your personal choices on a good affordable ultralight setup? I love running your Mule products but the only ultralight stuff I have knowledge of and use is during ice season.
There's a ton of affordable UL options out there depending on your exact budget. Check out Ethan's backlog of rod reviews. He covers just about everything that's available out there.
Thanks guys, yeah I’ve got several videos but here’s a few to help. First, it all kind of depends on your definition of “affordable” because that can certainly vary for each individual. The shakespeare micro series rod is like $20 and works just fine, but stepping it up to the $50 price range, I loved my 13 fishing defy silver. My general rule of thumb is to buy a shimano or Daiwa 1000 size reel in my range. A sienna 1000 is just fine and it’s super budget friendly.
Love the idea, already ordered one. But I’m also curious, what type of Kayak is that? Do you have a video on what kayaks you recommend like your rod videos?
Thank you so much. I used to make more kayak-focused videos but kind of got away from it. This is the Old Town Sportsman PDL 120.
Got mine, but I still haven't caught anything on them yet.
I guess I need to work on my technique.
Fish it slow and let it do the work for you. I typically catch most fish while it sinks or it’s drifting.
@@FishAnything going to give it a try on some bluegill and crappy on Saturday.
You ever think about reviewing phenix ironfeather braid?
Definitely have looked into that line. Plan to get one of their rods too!
Just put in an order for some of these! They look great. Gotta ask, what line are you using?
Spro Finesse Braid is the pink one and Daiwa J Braid X8 Grand is the green one. I used a 4lb Yo Zuri Hybrid leader on both. Thanks so much for the support :)
Just curious but are you in the Midwest? I just found your channel and it seems your ponds seem similar to ours here in wisconsin. Loving the videos by the way
I’m in Michigan! Probably very similar fishing 🤠
Ethan just to let you know I already ordered a package. I don't have Instagram so I was letting you know
Truly appreciate your support!
Although I never realized where these were made
HOLY SHIT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT IN THE Z---- MAN MATERIAL THE FINGER MARK HERE IN OZ WOULD JUMP ON THAT. RIPPER VIDEO CHEERS FROM AUSTRALIA.
This is a high durability, flexible material similar to some other bait manufacturers! Thanks Brett :)
@@FishAnything looks spot on . See bait junkie JIG heads now are the master of the z material now JIG heads would be the ducks nuts for the micro plastics this now will change the way we fish in a big way .
Maybe you are catching the new species the wait watchers skinny perch
I am good at catching the fish that are on diets.
Dude! So good! What size / style hook did you use for drop shot? Sorry if i missed it. New sub and soon to be customer. So smart. Thank you!
I believe I was using a Hayabusa Finesse Drop Shot Hook size 4
What jighead box is that?? Maybe you should brand them and re sell them?
: )
Someday I plan to do some gear organization! This is just a cheap fly box with a Mule sticker on it.
Zman Makes a lil finesse crayfish. I rip big river smallies on it this time of year. Zman also has a smaller bait called the crustation imitation...lol super fun to throw for dinks and river smallies no big bass on yet but i hooked a giant muskey on it a few years ago. watched him cruse up to it and slurp it in....didnt land him but he towed my yak around for a while.
I primarily bfs fish rivers . I just had your donkey jrs out the other day for stocker trout.
I'll defintley be adding this to the rotation. especially since your going to have it in ranch hand. Brown pumpkin colors dominate rnd my way.
Do you make your jigs? my 16th ounce do it mold always leave my heads loose??
Hope it works well for you! Thanks so much for the support!
All of the jigs from Mule are custom molds so I unfortunately can't help you with the Do It :(
@@FishAnything Ty for answering. Ive been hunting around for another finesse jig mold. Ive tried a dozen sizes and brand hooks for the same effect.
P.S. just ordered size 4 ewg hooks for a weedless donkey jr. experiment. i think split shotn them in riffles and runs for trout will be killer!
Do you have the information for what color of these crawfosh work for what water?
Clear: Ranch Hand, GP Black Flake
Stained: Rodeo Clown, Pasture Fire
Dirty: Black & Blue
Since your what i would consider a refined ultra light angler. And sorry if you have said it before I've only been subbed for about 6 months. What line do you use ?
I use a variety, but I tend to gravitate towards 6lb braid these days. My personal favorites are 6lb Spro Finesse Braid and Daiwa J Braid X8 Grand.
Just ordered all the options. Those redeye bass won’t stand a chance this year.
I fish a spot on a river that's loaded with micro smallies and mondo 10" rock bass. This little craw is going to absolutely crush em!
Jim - definitely send pictures of those Redeye bass if you get a chance! I’m so jealous. And CRR, I totally agree and plan to do the same!
@@CatchReleaseRepeat I don’t catch many rock bass, but I live for the redeye bass. Did the mobile basin redeye slam last year on Mule plastics, and plan on it again this year.
Fishing only requires patience for people who only fish a set rig. The kind of fishing that most of us do is more akin to hunting. I also just think there is something more sporting about fooling a predator to attack an object that you are using to imitate the behavior of prey than it is to drop a ball of food with a hook in it and hope that something eats it. The activity of working the presentation is amusing on it's own.
Sounds to me like we have a very similar perspective :)
Is that a new rod you are testing in the beginning?
The Fenwick Elite Light Finesse Rod is one I have been playing with for a while and I will have a video on it soon!
What is the best pro cure to use what scent
I like the panfish one!
Do you deliver to Canada, Ontario Canada?
Yep! Thank you :)
I got a question for you-I bought a shimano Sedona 1000 - waiting for it still but what’s your opinion on it?
I think it’s a great option for the price! Tried and true!
@@FishAnything gonna put on daiwa presso 6’6”.
What hook do you use for a drop shot?
I like the hayabusa size 8 drop shot hooks
What brand are those gloves/mittens Ethan is wearing?
Turtle Gloves. Small Michigan company - good people!
Thank You appreciate it.
😂
