Fishing With Light Gear In The Wind

[@bubblebreeze1635]

Caught my biggest bass of the year yesterday with a donkey tail jr. Had my Old 18 Authentic UUL bending similar to your new custom rod. Spiral wrap UUL rods sounds like a good idea. All the guys I see with those types of rods are salt water slow pitch jigging rods where they bend deep with large fish. So an UUL light bending deep with a bass on the end might help. I heard they can help with casting too. I read on a bass forum that a guy was slowly switching to custom made spiral wrapped rods because he's a believer in the casting.

That donkey tail jr is quickly becoming a confidence bait for me.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks so much for sharing! I’d love to see a pic of the bass if you ever have a chance to share. Email or Instagram! Tight lines 🤠👊🏽

[@bubblebreeze1635]

@@FishAnything I have another one to send too!! One on BFS and one on UL spinning. I've been trying out one of the Magic L rods.

[@andrefloresca1324]

My buddy acid wrapped his bfs rod and it really helps with managing lighter lines rubbing on the blank and overall sensitivity of the rod. Read that it also helps with casting distance, but can't confirm.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah that seems to be a popular thing for BFS guys

[@snotshovelinfection305]

I was really hoping you would have gone more into depth on that bfs rod with the spiral line guide configuration... Hopefully more on it in the next video?

[@FishAnything]

I’ll be doing a video with more depth once I get on a better bite with it!!

[@brianathern9154]

Great approach to fishing the wind. I like that you kept options open. I show up with a game plan and find the wind blowing and its what you decide to do next that matters. Confidence baits are almost always a solid plan B. Glad you got to work out the nice new red BFS stick

[@FishAnything]

For sure! Thanks Brian

[@poimendave9536]

Bless you Ethan and your family.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Dave!! You too :)

[@tylerhoch4534]

You should do a bfs only challenge with your new rod

[@FishAnything]

I’ll try to do that!! Thanks!

Shoutout Chris! 👍

He’s a great dude 🤠

With the first few nice days of the year here where I’m at, and got to try and stir up some bites at my favorite bass pond. The water itself wasn’t all that warm and there wasn’t much movement and bites were few and far between. Looking through my terminal I found some small 1/32 mini bucktail jig heads (just something I picked up from Walmart one day) both in chartreuse and white, and decided to put a micro swim bait on to flair the feather out to make my own skirt. Cut to the action where that tiny jig with just the perfect amount of movement and small profile and slammed bass from tiny half pounders to a solid 3 the rest of the day. I’m very excited to try this setup with a mule minnow 😮

[@logannewman4532]

I typically watch your videos and feel a bit of envy. This week...I'm over the moon with the weekend I had on your product. You saw the pics. If you ever visit Arizona, I'll send you every one of my honey holes so you can go make some videos.

[@FishAnything]

I’d love to get down there and fish with you someday, Logan!

[@losingbigfish9473]

Great video I’ve been caring he got of ultralight the spring and it seems like finesse drop shot, understand or overspin and a mule minnow has been what I’ve been carrying all year

[@FishAnything]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@calebprice304]

Have always wanted to get a BFS set up and might have to do so now. Awesome videos and products. Tight lines and God bless

[@FishAnything]

They are fun but definitely not a must have in my opinion. It’s more of a nice to have for me.

[@Roamingrightnow]

We dove headfirst into ultralight! Dobyn’s rod. Check Shimano Vanguard reel. Check Mule assortment of plastics. Check Thanks for the education. We really enjoy your channel!

[@FishAnything]

You have good taste!! 🤠🫶🏽

[@BloodRuin]

My understanding is that spiral wrapping guides is pretty common in fly fishing

[@FishAnything]

Interesting! It’s kind of new to me personally

[@CYOTsNiper]

You were reading mind with this video!!!

[@FishAnything]

Happy to hear it! 🤠

Wonderful vid! Keep it up 👍

@@FishAnything your welcome

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video still have to get some of your mule fishing baits

[@FishAnything]

Thanks for the support!!

[@shawneldridge4465]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 for sure here nicely well done on catching these fish, also another great video like always. i went out Sunday morning and stayed out there for 4 1/2 hours. unfortunately, I only caught one sun fish and two pickerel fish. At least I caught fish but wasn't what I was going for, I was trying to catch some trout.

[@FishAnything]

Tight lines Shawn!

[@OGAmmoMonkey]

Have you ever thought about using a dropper loop?

[@FishAnything]

I have been thinking about this for some perch rigs but I have never used it.

[@freddyj5845]

I just a Daiwa Kage in a 7’ 1”. Would a Vanford 2000 reel work well with it? Or should a stick with a 1000? Thanks!

[@FishAnything]

Sorry for the delayed response. Both would work but the 2000 would be my choice.

[@seizedcarcass8440]

Can the ultralight drop shot be used effectively on a bfs setup?

[@FishAnything]

You could definitely do it. I prefer spinning but there is no rule here technically.

[@jasonschaal8968]

is the key to fish downwind in windy conditions??

[@FishAnything]

I actually prefer to fish into the wind if possible. The crosswinds are the biggest thing I prefer to avoid. It’s all about line management.

[@calebprice304]

How do you tell what reel is a BFS

[@FishAnything]

They are usually called out / marketed that way. It’s basically a standard casting reel with lighter components and a shallower spool to help with casting tiny presentations. Typically pretty pricey for the good stuff, otherwise some Chinese gear like Kastking offers more affordable options.

[@StumpkillerCP]

Cast downwind and position accordingly. It ain't rocket surgery.

[@FishAnything]

I actually prefer to cast and fish into the wind. I feel it makes it easier to properly work and control my bait

[@StumpkillerCP]

@@FishAnything As a fly fisher I avoid upwind like the plague. Carries over into spin and bait-casting. I surrender.

[@charlielong9667]

What kayak is that?

[@HDMIxCHIEFS]

Anyone know what rod he's using?

Phenix Elixir for the drop shot
