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

[@cameronschweitzer3382]

Same

[@fishingwithdakota8978]

Nice

[@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!

[@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.

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.

[@srsykes1]

Love using ultra light for panfishing. Big crappies or big bull bluegills can be challenging.

[@adriankoekemoer2637]

Blugills

[@user-uu8oi1mr9g]

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!!!

[@leviporter7384]

I also use ultralights for trout.

[@lojofishing]

[@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.

[@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"

[@prestleywright7291]

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

[@lojofishing]

thanks so much

[@redfishandbass]

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

[@BentRodBassin]

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

[@robbrayder7532]

Me too!!!!

[@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

[@koolc90]

You inspired me to try fishing again. One skunk at a time

[@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.

[@FrankWolfeUDL]

"What is this rod used for" I don't know man I guess catchin fish lmao

[@TL-il1mx]

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.

[@perrystites9121]

Can you do surf rods for bass fishing? That would be awsome.

[@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.

[@blueboy1183]

Nice Bass! I always use ultra light tackle when wade fishing small creeks for trout...I have had some fun times with ultra light catching small mouth Bass!! Enjoyed

[@pimpshack81]

Oh hell the shenanigans y’all get in to 🤣🤣🤣 that’s why you guys rock 🤘🤘

[@ChamberlainCody]

100% love this combo 😂😂😂 I broke the reel and rod and just superglued them back together and its still my favorite rooster tail rod. Where I am its really hard to find bass over 4 pounds.

[@vaypr1446]

First and love your comments in googling squad vids 😂 they are so good!

[@lojofishing]

lolol

[@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.

[@jakeboran5365]

Lojo- “come on little guy we just want to touch you

[@lojofishing]

[@braxtongonzalez9157]

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

[@CRidley]

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

[@stewartgriswold5386]

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...

[@codylanders7681]

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

[@Cowboygreg6]

rod reels are made for ice fishing or used for rivers

[@GeorgiaBassmaster]

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

[@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.

[@Eagleeye223]

One of my favourite ways to fish is ultralight surprise 🤗

[@kevingrandke6075]

I love ultralight fishing I have three setups and my son uses one. Last weekend we landed over 27 bluegill and perch. so much fun!

[@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?

[@williamatta3279]

Awesome Fishing Challenge with Fishing with Norm Lojo Fishing !! Cheers William !!

[@lojofishing]

💪💪💪

[@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.

[@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.

[@Bigyear85]

That rod would be good for panfish

[@lojofishing]

True

[@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

[@LowBudgetBassin]

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

[@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

[@smithvegasbassassassin9406]

Awesome vid guys! Used for bream, crappie, and any small panfish! Love fishing with the ultra light rigs just for the fun of the fight! Keep up the awesome work fella’s!

Looks like so much fun. Ive caught big carp on 2 and 4lb test mono but never bass bigger then a few pounds.

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

[@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

[@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.

Great video feel bad for your boy Norm. I for one am glad they didn't have the kitty rods the ultralight thing was pretty cool. Roll tide

[@bjcox6695]

The 4'6" and 5' Shakespeare ultralights from Walmart are the GAS for panfish/crappie in creeks and little ponds, and hold up well even with things like a little ⅛-3/16 oz bitsy bug jig for little pond bass; just gotta give 'em a firm but slow sweeping hookset. 🤙 Walmart sells a chartreuse/silver Lew's ultralight with a pinch more backbone for itty bitty bass, but if you had to pick one I'd get the Shakespeare and strong-arm the dink bass 👍

[@bjcox6695]

Tl;Dr you use it when you're an IL boy in a position that a FL/TX boy would probably need a medium power rod. 👍 Public ponds = little fish here

[@psychoactivedan683]

Yeah you could even go down to a pier on the Sanfrancisco bay and sleigh jack smelt on a sabiki rig! With that setup!
