Fishing with 1 LB LINE (ultra ultralight)

Just wanted to try out some 1 pound fishing line for the fun of it. Super ultralight fishing turned out to be a good time pulling in fish left and right.

Very versatile line....you can catch fish and floss your teeth in the same trip!!! Another great vid brother.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

haha, teeth flossing will be on the next video

[@michaelantony1446]

Never saw 1 lb line..crazy novelty

[@danielh2049]

Back in january i bought some 2 pound testline. Never tried it before but cant wait try catch bunch bluegills other fish see how it do. I normaly for past 3 years used 4 now going try 2 pound even with catfish

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i never thought about using it for catfish, that would be nervous on 2 lb for sure

[@danielh2049]

@@CreekFishingAdventures ill just have to set the drag down

_This place is incredible Congratulations, beautiful video._ *Hug!!!* 👍🎣🐠😊

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thanks

[@detroitjim1]

Very cool Super ultralight fishing .... Just watched my Personal Worst (PW)ratio of KZbin video to advertising .....commercial every 3 minutes

[@jimmywilson1388]

Great video, I love using ultra light gear... It’s definitely a lot more of a challenge...👊🏼

[@donzinon4744]

Nice it a mono, line, i actually having issue making knots for my P.E #0.3 braid to the leader. it always get cut ... i really can't help it xD

[@joespafford6499]

I think I have to work on my casting before I go to 1 or 2 lb line. I use 4 lb now I don't have a break off when I cast but I know I cast kind of aggressively

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

You got me excited to use the 1lb now lol I’m gonna have to find that spot, you’re always slayin them there 😂

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it has been good to me

[@thomasbroking7943]

Good for you. I tried 2lb 1 day, wind blowing it everywhere constant snapping..ng for me.. I love 4lb on an ultralight rod & reel. I've caught tons of bass, many 3 & 4 pounders enev a 6lb stripper. And its soft enough to feel a fly land on the line

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

4 lb is probably my most used and the most fish caught on it

[@daneastin3960]

Great video I really in joy your Adventures I love fishing small streams keep up the good work

[@anthonyalmager2947]

Nice video, I really enjoyed it! I’m a fan of fishing light and small tackle every so often, I usually do it when I take my daughters and wife fishing, we catch a ton of blue gill and sun fish. It makes it very enjoyable for us all.

[@CheeseWater.]

3:18 that was a bluegill you can tell if they have like a dark purple or black spot on the top fin

[@jamesaritchie1]

I use ultralight gear for nearly all my fishing, but one pound test is really more for micro fishing than anything else. Two pound test is the lightest I think most fishermen should use. Some of the line test records the IGFA keeps are astounding. I'm several years out of date, but the last time I checked, the record fish on 2 pound test was a 98 pound shark. But the most astounding record is a 573 marlin caught on 4 pound test. To make this even more astounding, when the IGFA tested the line used, it actually measured in at 3.55 pound test. I don't remember what the record is for 1 pound test, but maybe you can set a new record. But be careful. Trying to set and reset your own personal best on light line and an ultralight rod can become an obsession. I think 4 pound test is a good place to start because it's heavy enough to allow some mistakes. Then, when confidence builds, move down to 2 pound test, and then down to one pound. Or just stick with 2 or 4 pound test and keep trying to catch larger and larger fish.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yah im probably not going to be using it a lot, 4 lb line is my favorite to use for all sorts of fish

[@Legallyblindoutdoors]

Nice job man I've watched Richard gene catch big crappie an redear on 1# line

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i will have to look that up

[@billybuckshot6909]

I bought that exact rod a week ago, but I went with the Shimano reel instead, those pfleugers seemed pretty smooth though. I was on the fence between the two. For $16, that rod is pretty sweet.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Oh yah, you can’t be upset for the money

[@mynameisnotcory]

I run with trilene extra strength 4lb mono...that shit is actually 40 lb test...i’ve pulled huge carp and catfish and even flipped 7lb bass no problem....yet my 30 lb braid snaps every chance it gets

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

im about to give up on braid, to much structure in most places i go, i also really like 4 lb mono

[@johnradice4235]

Great video brother in Christ I've been ultra light fishing for about 10 years now and there's always something that will bite small and micro baits 😎🐟

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes sir, you can always get something

[@adamcedarwall6049]

I pulled in a fat 26in carp on an ultralight with 4lb test creek fishing last month talk about a fight so far it's the biggest fish I've caught on that setup.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Wow that’s a fight. I need to go carp fishing

[@christopherwood2290]

0:08. John's trailer has some scrap ductwork sheet metal. No more. Now it has his pedal kayak in it!

[@christopherwood2290]

Hope you are out fishing making us another video dude!

[@markwilliams3678]

You should include a mailing address you’d be surprised at the stuff ppl would send you

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i have sort of thought about that but i would have to give my home address or pay for a po box

[@zzzzzz...9902]

I use a half a pound, its all anyone really needs, honestly. I got 50 lb catfish on half a pound, took 4 hours but it was fun. Good times. Edit: I had it custom made for me, the line.

[@markburnstein5546]

Microlite rod. 👍

[@user-wo7rp6bc6t]

Looks fun!

[@MrElvisr27]

Perfect reel for the video. I love fluger!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes, i recently bought the presidential for my bass rod, its smooth

[@christopherwood2290]

0:28. This is why I love CFA. John is always coming up with cool stuff.

[@DAsh-wi1zc]

A lot of fun, that! Same setup in the Wallowa Mountains of northeast Oregon for eastern brookies in the alpine lakes is simply the best!

[@PHFishingBiking]

😁👍 That's awesome It's always fun fishing with light line and gear!

[@samsonk2077]

gotta love spillway fishing. It’s probably the fastest way to catch a ton of fish, although not a ton of big fish live in spillways

[@sammarkey672]

That is my current small creek setup. I also really like the Okuma Avenger reel.

[@michaeltichonuk2176]

I use 2lb Trilene Sensation leader and haven't had any issues. Well, cant see it but that's my old man's eyes, not a Trilene problem. It was what I caught a few of my red eye coosa'a with. BPS microlight combo. Main is 4lb mono (tourney tough) ...leader is usually 8, 10 feet. My ultralight is spooled with that Trout Magnet, Leland Lures 4lb...I didn't order correctly from Amazon and got green. Doesn't seem to bother fish. I have used Trilene Sensation as leader with that too. Great products both. But your video is Outstanding!! Of course!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

good info, thanks

[@lonedobie1]

good test

[@FishingWithBIGD]

Some nice ones man, I did not know they even made 1lb line ...lol

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it was hard to find

[@JCSanto]

Going to make me a ultralight rod n reel combo just like that one you have. Love Phleuger and I have a 5'5 Micro Series rod already. Going to buy the Trion Phleuger . What you think Brother John. Any suggestions would be highly obliged. God bless you . 👍✝️

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

sounds like you got it figured out, i like the 2 lb trout magnet line for that setup

[@christopherwood2290]

9:13. Looks like the spot John lost that huge bass on the minnow.

[@765outdoors]

Used to use 2-4lb all the time for carp. Used a penrod extreme for a while but a 10-15pound carp snapped the rod with 11ounces of drag. Still got the fish though

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

thats so awesome

[@johnbaker4847]

ha, ha... love it! Sure throws dirt in the face of all the guys who won't use anything less than 10 lb. (I use 6lb all the time to catch dinks and bluegill up in waist deep grass) Only thing left is to use cheerio's, lure them in, and club them with the rod. lol Great Video!

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

haha, i like that

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I caught a four pound trout on two pound mono. It was a real challenge. Fishing in the ocean on my boat (sold it three weeks ago) my favorite setup was a really light conventional setup with 10 pound braid and 6 pound fluorocarbon leader. Yes, I'll lose a lot of leaders but the challenge is so much fun.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

I defend enjoy lighter setup for fish rather than oversized stuff

[@feralgrandad4429]

Great video, real fishing :-)

[@monkeyman4131]

Well now, you've really hit a new low ! " Low " in line test any way. That's crazy man. I never use less than 8# test. The lines are way better now than back when tho. Still More Power to ya ! You are a true " Fisherman ". Tom Daytona Beach, FL.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

Haha, you know I like trying things

[@deepiper6529]

Ok I am impressed! I fish 4 lb mono alot and I have reeled in bass, catfish, panfish, trout. I thought I never would fish with anything lighter than that but seeing this makes me want to try 2 lb mono.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

2 lb is definitely fun and it will hold up pretty good

[@larryjones5295]

Got a couple of spinning reels 1 ultra lite recently gonna try it out today. Really looking forward to it.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

hope you have fun with it

[@scchris1]

Lots of rain and cold weather here as well, I'm lucky to catch a fish at all. I am always impressed with how many fish you catch.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i go out a lot of days without catching stuff, but i have been putting a lot of effort into it recently

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

Man you have great videos! Always enjoyable. Those beavers will scare the poop outta ya. Got one in one of my fishing spots here. About stepped on him last year. LOL

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

especially when your trying to be all quiet and calm and they make a huge splash

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

always appreciate the support

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

Creek Fishing Adventures The pleasure is mine my friend!

[@danielwood5510]

When you broke off at the hook, if you run super light line tie a palamar knot. Love your videos 😁

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i will have to try that

[@firemandan5959]

Ultra Light is the way to go when you just want to have a great time fishing.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

it was actually more fun than i thought it was going to be, but a little stressful

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

@Ron Krzaczyk i got a new setup with 4 lb line that i think i might try doing some smallmouth fishing with

[@jigginwithjeff3050]

Not to bad for 1 pound test line

[@tinkmarshino]

I used to little creek fish with 2 lbs test.. what an adventure.. But then mostly It was just an excuse to walk through through the woods in the water... Still, I did find some fantastic little spots.. and caught fish that were shocked by finding food that fought back.. Man those two bass & the bluegill are nice little fish for 1 pound test.. Your right about ultra lite fishing... I did the same and finally was fishing with 2 lbs test a lot more than others.. though I never fished with more than 6 lbs test to begin with unless I fished for salmon and steelhead.. then I went to 8 lbs test..... I notice a lot on these fishing show that they just yard there catches in skimming them across the top of the water.. the fight was always the thing for me.. and when you use lite tackle you can't just yard 'em in like a tow truck pullin' out a stuck Well thanks for the share.. carry on! car..

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

i dont get why these people just winch the fish in as fast as they can then toss them off as fast as they can, its nice to enjoy the moment

[@tinkmarshino]

@@CreekFishingAdventures I agree.. where is the fun... let 'em run.. play 'em a bit Oh well to each their own eh? there is more to fishin' than catchin' fish.. Carry on my brother..

I can barely tie 4 pound mono! I don't think I could tie 1 or 2 pound mono.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yah it is not fun to have to re tie

Man I was planning on fishing this afternoon but as my luck goes it’s raining lol so it’s looking like I’m going to try again maybe tomorrow or Sunday. Nice video 👍🏻

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

looks like it will be raining all day saturday, maybe sunday will be nice

[@JeffGeraldFishing]

Yep. looks like today I’m going to re spool a couple of rods and go though my tackle and get my creek backpack and other tackle boxes restocked

@@JeffGeraldFishing sometimes that can be fun also, i need to re organize my stuff also

Now that's ultra lite... Nice job

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yes indeed

[@nathanmayo1918]

Gotta be extra careful not to "overheat" the line when tying the knot.

[@CreekFishingAdventures]

yaah i did that a few times

Nice, I'd be so paranoid I'd break off every cast 😂 looks fun tho

yah i probably wont use it again, but it was fun to play with

Way to thin for me, I have used 3lb but don’t think I could ever do 1lb
