Fighting BIG Aggressive Fish w/ ULTRALIGHT Walmart Gear (Crazy Fight!)

[@lojofishing]

Do any of you guys use ULTRALIGHT gear like this???

[@tonziecannon9441]

Who won the giveaway

[@vaypr1446]

I usually use it when I’m fishing for like bluegill size smallmouth in creeks. It’s fun.

[@AreaHQx]

Rebecca Collins... Congratulations btw!

[@AreaHQx]

I do.. Mostly for bait fish.. And trout fishing 🐟

[@joeybasstard8133]

Yes sir. I use Ultralight gear like that for panfish and trout. From 4’6 rods to 7’ Rods. Incredibly fun especially when you hook into a 10-15lbs carp while going for sunfish. LoL. Good video as usual lojo.

[@codyhill3249]

I use ultra light and micro light rods for trout and sunfish and crappie

“I would buy this for my 8 year old son” I will continue to out fish people on ultra light rods with light test. Don’t sleep on it!

[@richardmorrison4907]

Same here I love ultra light fishing such a blast hooking 2-3 lb bass while crappie fishing

[@vmoffei]

I fell in love with ultralight fishing too. I bought my first ultralight to trout fish and now use it to multi-species fish and have a blast doing it when the bass bite is tough.

[@blaccsilverstaff5484]

I always outfish with ultra light......

[@theawkwardoutdoorsman8329]

That "Walmart" ultralight is my favorite rod! I have caught some nice fish on it, and it is a blast! Ultralight fishing is the best.........also, the brand is Shakespeare (Stren is the line brand). Great Vid Lojo!

[@carloscruz7317]

For a challenge I use ultralight for bass and 4lbs test and use my skill and drag to land the fish. Take your time and and really make it a sport.

[@mxbaseball5492]

you shouldnt disrespect the ultralight community

[@NoNo-rk5yh]

Facts fam 😑

Yup same here

[@johnblossom8447]

I have a super light rod and spinning reel for stocked trout. They can be skittish and I use tiny hooks, too, like size 10. Some of our trout in Colorado are smart and avoid anything that looks a little different, so, small line, tiny hook is what works.

[@lojofishing]

nice!!!

[@ianmilligan8517]

Ive had 3 of those rods in the past and let me say they are a blast. I used them for catching almost anything from little bluegill and crappie to big carp, catfish and even aligator gar.

[@austin79761]

That's probably actually my favorite rod reel combo that I got from Walmart because it's so rediculous. I've caught everything from bluegill, to crappie, to rock bass, to small largemouth bass

[@Naxatthedoor]

It can even catch larger stuff like small largemouth, those guys really underestimate a true ultralight rod

[@rossbowman202]

LOJO those poles are for catching huge bass and pro fishing skills. 🎣

[@BuckeyeBassMaster78]

"I love ultralight gear,caught some monsters with them over the years,just caught a 38 lb. Grass carp 3 weeks ago,took a hour and a half to land,caught it on a neg rig while bass fishing super fun"

My 11 year old twins used those same combos for 4 years, we just upgraded them. They may be light duty but they held up just fine. I used to use an ultra light trigger spin for crappie but I haven't used it since we moved to Florida.

[@BentRodBassin]

I freaking love Walmart tackle! Honestly it's the best bang for your buck!

[@snowboardman420]

I have that same rod/real combo and I love it. I use it for catching bluegill on beds. When they hit it hard I have had a nice size gill almost rip it out of my hand. Turned into one of my favorite rods I own.

[@prestleywright7291]

I love and really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work and thanks for inspiring me!

thanks so much

I use a 2000 brutal. Last king spinning rod and caught my first pb. 9.15lb on a 6lb line .. all about playing it and tiring it out .. love you flick .. keep it up

Normmmmm ok buddy glade to see you back.sorry you didn't land one maybe next time.lojo I have a couple of those rods mostly use them for crappie and panfish or bait as we call it here in Arkansas. Awesome videos guys.can't blame you for not getting the cameras wet.

[@tristanmarrello8344]

[@clayjohnson8777]

ultralights are for gills and crappie mainly but catching bigger fish on them is a blast but that you found out in this vid. love the vids keep it up also i have to say you are my favorite youtube fisherman.

[@codylanders7681]

We refer to those as creek poles. Easy to cast around overhanging trees on the shallow creeks

[@brettleisy356]

the great misconception is they must be for small fish, everyone goes at least 1-1 when picking line weight. I usually use line that is 75% of expected heaviest possible fish I'll catch. even when not on ultra light gear. so if I expect a 8lb max I will pick up 6 lb line. if you look up records, specially the state ultra light records they usually are around the 3-1 or 4-1 ratios. 15-16lb fish on a 4 lb line. yes the fight is VERY long, but is amazing fun. most fishermen go 1-1 to just purely hog them in, but the lighter line can make the difference in them even biting or not.

Tried my first ultralight tonight, inherited a nice older Shimano combo with a lil 500 series reel. Threw a small mepps aglia with a bucktail, almost caught the legendary 4lb koi in my local lake 😅 kinda glad I didn't, I was scared the rod would explode

I have a rod similar to that that is a eagle claw. Super flexible and fun to use. I primarily used it for little stocked rainbow trout. It was fun to catch a million of them. This is a awesome challenge. Great video. All my rods are like this and I just moved to TN so I haven’t bass fished with them. And this gives me an idea

Glad I bought one of these little rods for my little dude after watching this video... I put some 10lb spider wire on there just in case. I was worried a little bit about how flexible it was but now I’m stoked to get him trained up on it...

[@jimking2299]

A short ultralight rig is great for fishing brook trout in small, overgrown creeks.

[@TheMrpalid]

How does this ultralight rod compare with the more expensive ones like the St Croix?

[@Liamk24]

One of my favourite ways to fish is ultralight surprise 🤗

[@chrisrocha6805]

I bought that combo for my son and liked it so much I bought one for myself. My biggest bass was about 3.5 on this set up. They feel like a whale on that thing. The only thing I did differently was change out the line to 6 pound test spider wire. Great video man. Loved it.

[@Bigyear85]

That rod would be good for panfish

[@lojofishing]

True

[@aggietommyjones]

I caught a bass off that exact combo this morning. I bought it for fishing a small pond behind my apartment for bluegill and bass with feather light baits. It’s perfect for just quick trips and you can’t beat it for $20. My Walmart never has them anymore tho

[@westonmavis6566]

This are no joke the rods my wife and I use for crappie fishing, and we’ve hooked into some very large fish and landed them. A ton of fun!!

Man I have brought in 8 pound bass on these decent rods the reels are a little cheap so I bought the 7ft rod like this and put a Trion reel on it love it

[@LowBudgetBassin]

Good to see Norm is back, prolly my favorite gooligan in your circle🤣👍

[@purplephoenix4238]

I use these exact rod and reels when I'm crappie fishing off the bridge with a lantern dropped. They actually do really good. I've pulled up 10-14 inch crappie from the water up over the bridge.

[@flynfatman]

Lojo I've been ultralight fishing for years I've always taken my trout poles with 4 pound test on it to The Ponds to catch bass you just have to know how to play them my PB on an ultra-light is a 10lb Mudcat that was an ultralight Diawa four and a half foot pole with 4 lb test mono

[@SnazzyBeard]

A true sportsman right here.

[@PauloCesar-ui7fp]

I use one here on brazil but for fish like 2 to 10 pounds it takes alot of hard work to take them out but its very fun at least

I use ultra light for crappie and trout but I have caught a bass on it before. cool video👍🏻

[@neilferris1623]

Awesome video man! I’ve always used ultralight gear for panfish/crappie fishing! Put a small crappie jig on it and drop it straight down and jig it. It’s a blast to fight them on a set up like that.

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

ultra light gear will make dinks fun to catch. I use my sons 2' barbie rod for fun sometimes. Nice video brother!

[@te1e.]

I love using ultralight rods and reels, in my opinion they are much more exciting.

[@SnazzyBeard]

Agree.

[@BudgetFisherman]

Gotta do more ultra light vids, love ulta lights for pond hopping but I wouldn't use those super cheap combos for anything more than a backup or travel setup, 6' ultalights with good 6lb mono or 10-15lb braid and 1/16oz or 1/8oz jigs makes for a fun day

[@minnorbucketfishing2695]

I have 2 of those small combos, I use them during crappie tournaments for shooting under docks. They work pretty good for that, in my opinion

[@fishinnshootin689]

Bro ultra lights are the best. They never break, you feel everything, just throw 20 pound braid on n you can throw almost any weight lure and catch any size fish. I actively use ultralight setups for big carp and cats

[@Tyler_B.]

I know this is an old video but up here in the PNW we use 7’ light and ultralight for trout and panfish. Before I got into salmon fishing in my teens all I owned was a 7’ UL with 10lb braid.

[@lyman135]

These guys are supposed to be a fishing channel, and they act like they've never heard of ultralight gear. Then they talk down to it like its for little kids. The whole point of it is that it takes more skill. You have to use patience and finesse, not just stand there and then yank it in all ham fisted like. Why would ultralight be for kids? Just because they are kids, they are going to catch smaller fish?

[@rrrr635]

[@dmindset]

I leave my 4'6" rod in my one vehicle just for random stops if I happen to find a little pond with some bluegills or sunfish, or even some bass, and I sometimes use it in saltwate to catch little snappers, etc. I use like 8-10 braided line with 10 or lighter mono or fluoro leader. Ive actually brought in some pretty decent sized fish on it.

[@bradenclark8885]

I have that rod and I like to use it for camping trips when I want to bring something super light weight. Works well for creek trout.
