Fishing With The FENWICK EAGLE Ultralight Rod! [First Impressions]

In a recent video, I talked about how I plan to pick up numerous ultralight rods and make videos using them. Well, here we go again! This ultralight setup happens to be the Fenwick Eagle 5'6 Ultralight rod. It is a Moderate action which was a bit new to me. I usually fish with Fast action ultra light setups so it was definitely a different feeling using this.
Check Out This Rod: amzn.to/3fX5457
Overall, I feel like this rod is pretty solid. I wouldn't really consider this rod a budget-friendly option but I also wouldn't consider it expensive. I paid a bit less than $80 which I would consider a mid-price range. Personally I think that cost is justified with the high quality cork grip and nice reel seat. Very comfortable setup to fish with.
I think this rod will especially be good for tossing little spinners and other small treble hooked baits. Because of the moderate action, this rod really flexes deep into the blank. Pairing that up with trebles would help soften the hookset and land more fish. I would consider this an awesome ultralight trout setup for that very reason.

Ethan buddy, your ultralight rods tend to be 5' 6". It's been my experience that longer rods, in the 6' 6" or 7' range, offer more advantages. You can cast light lures farther for sure, and the length also helps with hook sets. Also, I believe the longer length with all of that flex helps fight the mondos you might hook on your light line. Of course I grew up fishing steelhead on 8' and 9' rods, so a 7' rods feel like an average length to me.

[@adamkaralus5468]

Agree there. I fish a 13’ ML for steelhead and feel confident handling 25-28” fish on 4-6# test but only because of the long rod. The slower the better

[@FishAnything]

Yeah it’s all about personal preference and what you’re targeting! I love the shorter rods because I tend to be tossing my Mule Jigs around in search of panfish and small bass. The longer rods feel wonky when sidearming from a kayak. If I was float fishing for trout and had some open casting area, I’d for sure go longer! Pros and cons to each, but I can assure you that more ultralight rods are going to be purchased lol so maybe I’ll get a 7’ soon

[@backwoodsadventures9661]

For years I’ve fished for trout and only used rods that were within the 7 ‘ range. I looked down on rods any shorter than that. Well now that I’ve been mainly kayak fishing. My attitude sure has changed. Half of my losses are actually due to long length of the rods and struggling to net them. So now I’m actually in the market for shorter rods

[@JohnJames.]

I just picked up two sweet diawas , one 7 one 7 1/2 light and ultralight , full cork sliding reel seats, they don't make them like they use to. Now to get reels

[@jefferycervantes3008]

Agree 100% i been fishing ultra light for over 12yrs and still today ultra light is 95% of my fishing

[@p0wderhound03]

I have that exact same rod/reel set up. I use if for cutthroat trout and Kokanee in the mountains of Idaho. I've caught 18" trout on that rod and it handled it like a dream!! UltraLite for life!

[@FishAnything]

This comment makes me very happy. Literally said it was going to be a dope trout rod and boom, you say this :D

[@analogoutdoors]

I use this rod in combination with a 1000 size Regal. You are correct that this is a true UL rod. IMO it is a perfect UL rod. I use it for panfish, especially Redbreast and Bluegill on the Shenandoah River. I have another, older UL rod that served me well for probably 25 years, but this rod is such a pleasure to use it's hard for me to take any other UL setup. It will also handle 1-2lb Largemouth and Smallmouth just fine. One slammin' nice rod.

[@FishAnything]

Sounds like a blast! It’s a great little setup

[@lewistavares3193]

I've used this exact fenwick rod for the better part of two years and have caught plenty of 2-3+lb bass and pickerel with no issue. Typical day on the river is 15-20 small mouth around 1.5-3lb. I've fished off short bridges and the rod will hold a 2+lb pickerel shaking through mid air no problems. Definitely good for anything under 6-7lb I'd say if you aren't trying to pick it up out of the water without a net

[@FishAnything]

Love to hear it! I really enjoyed fishing with this rod while I had it. Fenwick makes good stuff.

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Got my boys fenwick eagles years ago and they still have them! Hope you enjoyed the holiday weekend!

[@FishAnything]

I definitely enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend. Very thankful for this country :) and that is awesome, the Fenwick Eagle is an absolute classic and still kicks butt.

[@Cornelius798]

I just ordered a 6' 9" medium/light Fenwick spinning rod. Can't wait to try it out.

[@FishAnything]

Hope you catch a lot of fish with it!

[@ajgreen868]

I only use ultra light when trout fishing at my local lake from the shore. I’ve caught some monsters in it. Bugged was a 28” rainbow. And int her things is the fenwick eagle is one of the best rods I have ever used. Specially for the price point.

[@FishAnything]

That’s awesome! It’s a great little rod

[@madmullets]

Im a BFS/Ultra Light frantic its truly is a blast fishing when you just cant horse a fish in. St. Croix makes some real nice Ultra light rods. My go to BFS bass rod is a Mastercraft Speed Style BFS. Only downside is BFS can get $$$. Ultra light spinning is the way to go if you are ready to get in to ultra light fishing. As long as you learn to work your drag you can get some nice monsters on light gear.

[@FishAnything]

Darn right! I totally agree :) UL is the most fun way to fish!

[@Brunnen_Gee]

Omg, I took a bite of cereal right as you smashed that bluegill into the kayak, and then I almost spit said cereal all over my monitor.

[@FishAnything]

Lol sorry dude I am not liable for any broken devices due to cereal laughter :D

[@williamtrent9813]

What's up Ethan just wanted to let you know I caught a 3 pound largemouth on the donkey tail junior, I know how proud you are of it and for good reason. I just put an order in for the regular size and can't wait to try them out. Keep up the great work. Your content is much appreciated

[@FishAnything]

[@Videona]

I got one 8 foot today so let's see. How's it fairing?

[@Videona]

Boy takes a while to get used to compared to a faster action..just saying.

[@FitzYakin]

Great little rod for a moderate price. For some applications I think a moderate action can come in handy. Sometimes I like a moderate action UL when throwing those spinners with treble hooks. Always fun and a great time hanging out with you on the water Ethan 💧😀 LOL, I'm starting to see a pattern that you like to throw things at your friends.

[@FishAnything]

Yes whenever we fish together I would suggest wearing a helmet 🤪

[@FitzYakin]

[@anastaciolopez1434]

If you could, buy any rod reel combo for micro fishing which would it be. I am turning 56 and my kids said that could get any rod reel combo for micro fishing price is not to be worried about. I value your input.

[@micahspilker9322]

I have some higher end UL rods (st crois legend elite and g loomis trout and panfish) I actually like my dobyns Sierra better and it costs less than half as much.

[@FishAnything]

Hey there! If you are talking about multispecies ultralight fishing, I’d go with a 5’6 - 6’ UL rod and a size 1000 reel. I’d use 2lb trilene sensation monofilament. For reels, I suggest any Daiwa or Shimano in a price point you’re comfortable with. The higher priced reels tend to be lighter and have components that will last a lifetime. For rods, a Dobyns is definitely a solid choice for the price. I love mine! But another I am about to do a video on is the 13 fishing defy silver for about $50. I feel it’s a solid UL and doesn’t break the bank. Hope this helps! And thanks Micah for your input, hope you’re well buddy.

[@Henry-xh8ec]

I really like the ultra light rod reviews. I had a okuma celilo 6' ultra light on order as i watched your review on it. Like you, i wanted to try some new rods. I also recently bought two Shakespeare micro series ultra lights. Decent rods for the money.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I think I will be picking up a Shakespeare Microlite soon! Thanks for the feedback, I definitely want to do more videos just like this one.

[@TheHunterFisher]

Definitely might have to look into getting a decent Ultralight myself, gotta appreciate the best of both worlds with BFS and UL Spinning! That rod seems great for tiny jerkbaits.

[@FishAnything]

Haha heck yeah buddy just don’t be like me and end up with 6 ultralights 😭🥲🤪

[@FirstAlarm59]

Tried out my UltraLight for the first time, this past weekend. It was perfect for catching a ton of bluegill, and other sunfish, although it can catch other, larger, fish. I used 4 lb mono, which was the perfect line to enjoy the fight that even small bluegill can put up. The only issue was the I had to add a bullet weight, because the wind was strong, and was playing havoc with the line, prior to adding the weight. Definitely glad I bought it. It won't take the place of my medium, medium-heavy, and heavy rods, but it isn't supposed to. "The right rod for the right situation."

[@johnradice4235]

Hi Ethan gave my son on his sixteenth bd fenwick eagle 4 ft 9 in gt ul sadly he passed away September 2021 I’ve been using it since I love it he had it forty years still nice

[@FishAnything]

I am so sorry for your loss. Hold on to that rod and think of him every time you fish with it.

[@brianb1936]

Been trying to decide between this and the defy silver ul for dock fishing white bass with the occasional 2-3lb drum. I use 1/16 jig head on a bobby garland baby shad. You have any idea which might suit that better?

[@FishAnything]

I’d definitely go defy silver because of the fast action

[@jasonsfishingagain312]

I know nothing of the Eagle, but have fallen in love with the light power HMG. I tend to reach for it more these days than my ultralight's. I prefer the reel seat and longer handle, and it casts amazing. It helped me net a pair of doozies this weekend.

[@FishAnything]

Very nice! I used to have an HMG Casting rod and I always really liked it. Fenwick makes some really nice stuff for a fair price.

[@Goober523]

[@FishAnything]

Lol I made a video on this rod. LOVE IT!

[@leomortimer2565]

I decided to ordered fenwick eagle ultralight rod after your review! I wanted a moderate action UL so I cast my treble hook lures and this seem to fit the bill. I like the 5'6" length (I'm a shore fisherman/bank fisherman) and that it's a two piece! I also decided to try your 1/64 oz mule jigs as well! I can't leave those panfish all by themselves, they need company! lol!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks so much for the support, Leo! And yeah, this rod was a fun stick. I kind of wish I would have kept it haha I keep testing rods and swapping them out. This one, I miss.

[@fantomphoenix6170]

Should check out the old 18 suppressor rod, arc angler uses his for BFS redfish, and he has a stress test vid of him lifting a 5lb weight, and it looks very good. 20% off with his code as well. Brings it around $200 I believe And for a $30 option, I got a zebco crappie fighter in the 12ft model, absolute blast for tossing jigs up into a damn and drifting them through for smallies and rock bass

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I looked into it! Definitely more of an investment but it looks like a heck of a rod. Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@skj468]

How do you like it compared to the okuma? What’s been your absolute favorite ultra light so far

[@FishAnything]

I like them both but for different reasons. The Okuma is solid for a sub $40 price point and is pretty versatile. This is higher quality and probably better for trout fishing but it also costs more. I’m still in the process of figuring out what I like most. Once I have a better idea, I’m going to do a big ultralight comparison video!

[@fishingwithvin]

Cool deal man I'm looking for one in the 5 to 6 ft length but something pretty nice, I'm looking forward to more of these reviews dude!

[@FishAnything]

Definitely plan on reviewing several more rods lol. An excuse to keep buying them :D

[@davidarwood6264]

I've been using a FENWICK Eagle 6'6" medium fast for about 6 years now. Well it's about 6'4" now.😅.It's still great. I use it for trout and panfish. I use everything from trout magnets , roostertails and everything rebel makes. I've caught a few solid 3lb largemouths with trout magnets .They have never swallowed it though. Always right in the lip . Anyways.....I may try something new this year , but there's nothing I don't like about my Fenwick other than the color. It's the older gold Eagle.

[@dougoconnell990]

Love the series, hope you'll try the Daiwa Procyon 6'1" ultralight.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks for the recommendation! I have about 20 I want to try and this is on the list lmao 🤠🕺🏼

[@MichaelRomero]

I have the new Diawa procyon reel it's an amazing reel for what you pay for. Basically the same thing as my ballistic but not as light. Oh and half the price 😆

[@M.Redsky]

how well would a 2500 size reel work on a UL unit? Is that advisable?

[@FishAnything]

I personally feel that would be a bit larger than necessary. It will work fine but I recommend a size 1000 reel.

[@micahspilker9322]

I really like a moderate ultralight for crappie with their soft mouths.

[@FishAnything]

Great point Micah! Maybe I should make this my designated Crappie rod O_o

[@MichaelRomero]

Fenwick make awesome rods I have an HMG. they're not cheap rodes so I don't think they belong in that category. They are great rods for the price.

[@FishAnything]

[@jonpogue427]

I like when you do reviews on gear and lures.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks for the feedback JP! I enjoy doing this sort of video so you can expect more 🤠

[@carlitosverduzco3643]

I prefer a modern action bc the rod bens more and that equals more fun 🎉 good video man thanks for posting.

[@FishAnything]

Fair! Moderate is just fine for that deep bend, but I prefer fast just for bite detection and hooksets. No wrong answer - personal preference is key!

[@boydrid]

The best rod I ever had was an ultra light. I could feel a minnow swimming while hooked to a very small jig. I was fishing for hybrid strippers at Clinton lake near Clinton IL. Fish allergy made me stop fishing for the most part. That is why I can't remember what rod it was specifically.

[@FishAnything]

Dang! Sorry you had to stop fishing. Ultralight truly is the best!

[@RonMTube]

Moderate action rods are great at protecting light lines and light lines help you get those 1/64 oz Mule jigs down deeper.

[@FishAnything]

That makes a lot of sense. I personally haven't had any issues with faster rods with my line but I could totally see how on a bigger fish, that moderate action could take a lot of pressure off of the line. Good callout Ron :)

[@andrewgreiner8066]

Love Fenwick rods great quality

[@FishAnything]

I agree! Can’t go wrong 🤠

[@shawneldridge4465]

Is it great for trout fishing and crappie fishing, anyway I always use a 1/64 0z, a 1/32 oz, and a 1/24 oz. Great small sizes and nothing heavier than a quarter. I will say it does look like a nice rod and reel that's for sure. Maybe I should look into getting one myself

[@PHFishingBiking]

Hi I have a fenwick Eagle rod and recently picked up a berkley lightning rod for $35.00 and it feels much more better balanced and uses lighter guids and feels much more crisp and responsive I like it a lot better than the eagle rod... maybe you should try a lightning rod in a UL action it might be good. Nice video.

[@FishAnything]

That’s a great suggestion thanks! So much can be personal preference but I’m all about giving it a try!!

[@MimeswithRhymes]

The Field n Stream UL is sexy but the eyelets are so small I can’t use bobber stops, unlike this rod which casts great. It’s my second favorite rod.

Hi Ethan, is that rod a 1 or 2 piece? Nice job!

[@mojondro]

I have a modified ugly stick, now is a beautiful stick,so is a moderate action and i combine braid with the rod so is a bit more fast to make the hook set

The Donkey Tail Jr. was designed to be fished with the 1/80oz through 1/32oz Mule Jig. These jigs are currently out of stock but they will be back very soon! Otherwise, any jig that has a small enough hook. A slow fall is key to drawing bites. Upsize your jig when fishing deeper or in heavy wind. Hope this helps!
