[@nancysullins9612]

Hey I just want to thank you for getting my husband all hyped up about fishing again. He is disabled and had gotten away from one of his passions. Then he started watching your videos and now you are all he talks about. LOL He really enjoys your videos. So thank you again it does my heart good to see him so happy.

[@FishAnything]

Oh my gosh this comment just made my day. Thank you so much for sharing. Feel free to reach out any time - I would love to do something special for your husband to keep him excited about the fishing. The support means the world :)

[@nancysullins9612]

@@FishAnything just hearing back from you has made my husband's day. He watches you all the time. He thinks you're just awesome. Thank you very much Ethan you have really made a change in his life. He is working on getting some mule jigs. God bless you and your family and as always you are in our prayers.

[@Scottttyboy]

After fishing mostly Medium - MediumHeavy rods for most of my life this year I finally bought my First 8 ft UltraLite Rod for Trout & Crappie and it’s probably become my favorite style of fishing, throwing a lot of Mini Jigs & Spoons has caught be a lot of Trout and surprisingly a lot of bass! I’ve been throwing some lighter Ned Rigs and have been absolutely been killing it at my lakes. Unfortunately the longer 8ft rod doesn’t do to well at my tiny creeks and I don’t have any shorter ultralite rods, too many trees and shrubs around for me to even cast. That rod would be amazing to use at any creek or even backpacking to my local mountain lakes. Anyway, great video and I’m excited for more!

[@FishAnything]

Best of luck Scott! So happy to hear you are enjoying the UL fishing too. I will actually be giving away a few more UL rods on my IG so stay tuned there as well if you have one.

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Very glad to hear that TFO reached out to you; thanks to both of you for doing this. I already own a TFO trout / panfish rod, so not interested in the giveaway, but thought it worth mentioning that I bought my 6-footer based largely on your review that you linked in the description. These are beautiful and great-feeling rods; I could easily see my 6-footer becoming my favorite UL rod. The "How It's Made" video for the TFO conventional rods is fascinating; it really shows the level of care that goes into each one. Thanks for another great video, Ethan!

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

Thanks for the kind words! We hope you continue to enjoy your 6' Trout Panfish rod!

[@FishAnything]

That is so awesome. Really enjoyed reading this comment and reply. That very rod is quickly becoming one of my go-to setups. Hope to hear some fun fishing stories from you in the future Olde School :)

[@natewebb4059]

I am glad to see that companies are starting to appreciate your channel. I appreciate that you stay unbiased and modest. That is hard to find on the internet.

[@FishAnything]

I do my best, Nate. If you ever think I am not being humble and unbiased, you may virtually slap me in the face :)

[@CREEKFISHING423]

You're right about the bigger browns feeding on the smaller ones. For several years I've thrown the same lure for consistent brown trout. A 1/4oz Joe's Flies inline spinner. I have a few videos showing what color and techniques. Basically, gold blade and brown body. Gold and black will get hit as well. If I switch to a chrome blade I mainly catch rainbows. I have to say though, where I fish,

[@FishAnything]

The big brownies are insane! They eat big. Gotta get back out there and try some larger presentations!

[@gregpowers5669]

Because of you I’m doing more light and ultralight fishing and enjoying it more. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make your videos and look forward to each and every one.

[@FishAnything]

THANK YOU GREG! Glad to hear you are having fun with it!

[@nicholashubert4834]

I got the TFO 6 foot After watching your videos. It has become my favorite Ultralight fishing rod I have. Thank you for you for your great videos!

[@FishAnything]

That makes me very happy to hear! I love the heck out of that rod!

[@ronaultmtd]

I just put together a new UL outfit...here in Southern Maryland I predominantly do inshore light tackle salt water fishing for Stripers, redfish, Speckled trout and big white perch...when the winter season drops the water temps below 50 degrees, I put my Hobie Outback up until Spring season. I get out the Compass and fish fresh water lakes...watched your channel for the first time and learned a bunch (I am 76 tons of offshore big game experience- but monster fishing no longer appeals to me) my new outfit is a Legalis LT 2000 with 8# braid on a BPS 6'2" panfish Elite light power, fast action. Our local lakes are fairly small impoundments of less than 1800 acres, fairly shallow but with a few deep,pockets of 25' (+). Fish species are chain pickerel, crappie, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed and bluegills...twice a year the state stocks with "put and take" rainbow trout of approximately 1 lb. Size...14-16" fish...a few trophy fish are mixed in the stocking including what they call "Golden trout. I have been looking to order your mule jigs and soft plastic baits, but notice you use extremely light heads and tiny plastics. My UL outfit would have a tough time tossing and effectively fishing these. What do you recommend for my setup? I was thinking 1/16 as the lightest jig, but I really have no piint of reference if that is optimal. Thank you for any assistance you may have for my post. Ron Ault

[@FishAnything]

Hey there Ronald! I think your setup will cast anything over 1/32oz effectively. I would probably select some 1/32oz Mule Jigs for the Bluegill/Sunfish (but they will catch all species) and the 1/16oz and 3/32oz for the Crappie/Bass/etc. The Donkey Tail Jr and Horse Fly pair up best on the 1/32oz whereas the Mule Minnow 2.2 or 3.2 will work on all of those jigs. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for the support!

[@jihohan6677]

I love using my cellilo rods. In fact I used my 6’6” to catch some crappie today. I like them so much that I own 5’6” and 6’ as well. I wouldn’t mind trying out TFO rod. Dinks or not at least you’re catching!

[@FishAnything]

The Celilo is another solid option but I definitely think you'd love the TFO. Best of luck on the giveaway!

[@johngrawey7039]

Hadn't fished in ten years because I just couldn't seem to make the time available. Started watching your channel and realized I had lots of locations close to me and bought a few ultralight rods and reels. Tried a St Croix after one of your reviews and it had been a great rod. I seem to use the chartreuse donkey tail jr and the ranch hand horse fly most often and have caught bluegill, bass and catfish on these. Got the purple jig heads coming and can't wait to try them out. Spent many evenings watching or rewatching your videos. Glad you have time to fish with your new addition to the family. You are just beginning to find out how little time you will get to call your own.

[@FishAnything]

Love that you’ve hit trout season. These videos are always cool to transition into something a little different. I’m super jealous that we don’t have any trout streams around here.

[@FishAnything]

I am anxious to get back out there and search for larger brownies!

[@arnie210]

You create one of my favorite channels man! UL fishing is so underrated. I’m always adjusting/perfecting my rod arsenal and I love the details you add to your reviews. I have the TFO Trout Panfish 6’6” Light action that is pretty sweet. I’m looking to pick up an ultralight version but can’t decide between the 6’ or 5’6” for creek fishing. If you could keep one just for the creeks which would it be?

[@FishAnything]

If you are specifically in creeks and there is a lot of overhanging limbs and brush, I would go with a 5'6 rod. Personally, I think the 5'6 13 Fishing Defy Silver for $50ish would be my choice. But if you don't have too much brush to navigate, you could definitely get away with a 6' rod which will give you just a little more leverage and casting distance. Thanks for the kind words :)

[@theonlyfinsguy]

Hey man. Great video! I have always been a huge fan of ultralight fishing, and its great to see folks like you promoting this awesome kind of fishing. I do have one question for you: what is the biggest fish you ever caught on an ultralight?

[@FishAnything]

Honestly I am not sure. Probably the pike I caught in a recent "The Pursuit of a 10" episode on my channel. I caught that big ol' slime critter on 2lb test!

I know you enjoy using a lot of light tackle fishing gear, so you should give these a try. They are called 1/32 oz vmc pro series crayfish jigs and the 1/32 oz vmc swim baits. Both are good for trout, crappies, panfish, smallmouth and largemouth bass and even perch too. Nice fish catching there and that rod and reel spinning combo is excellent. Another great video

[@jkdesigns1717]

Mmmm that's a beautiful rod! What I would not give to have that to replace my old 5' 6" crappie ultralight! Whether I win the giveaway or not I will definitely keep that in mind for a new rod! Great video also, those browns are so fun, we have soooo many spots here in Colorado that look very similar to where you were fishing, those little creeks are the best!

[@shermanou1337]

I am curious about you said, “this rod is not too fast that still does well with triple hook”, what does that mean? I do realize that I get more hook up on a spinner when I use a 7ft vs the 56ul. When I use a 56, I always get hit but doesn’t hook up. Is there something to do with the action? Thanks

[@FishAnything]

Good question! Due to the hook shank and guage of a treble hook, a slower action rod tends to absorb them a bit better and lead to better hook-to-land percentages. A fast would typically be less ideal however this rod has enough flex down the backbone that it should still do well. Does that make sense?

[@jameshollwedel903]

UL rods on the short side are my favorite for exploring small creeks and ponds with which most people don't bother. The smaller size is helpful for both hiking in and negotiating along the bank. Also, my grade-school age kids can handle a 5'6" wayyyy better than a 6'. Love your enthusiasm and kid-friendly videos - keep it up!

Trout fishing seems to be hit or miss for me. It's either on fire or cold as ice. Inline spinners are the only thing I've been able to get bit on.

Also just received my Mule Fishing order yesterday and already caught a small bass with them in the short time I had to fish today. Can’t wait to put them to good use again next time I’m out fishing.

[@FishAnything]

Than you so much Adrian! I am very thankful for each and every person that does click subscribe. Means the world - holler if you ever have any questions :)

Brand new to your channel. Kind of just ran across it. Awesome giveaway opportunity and great video. Glad I came across your channel.

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much for stopping by! Best of luck with the giveaway. Winner will be randomly drawn this coming week.

Big fan of TFO, I've had multiple fly rods for hill country bass fishing. I'm excited to see their UL conventional being gout to good use during trout season! Greetings from Texas!

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

Thanks neighbor!

[@jorgegzzm]

@@TempleForkOutfitters anytime! I'm always proud to support Texas businesses 🤠

[@FishAnything]

You Texans are about as loyal as they come :) I hear really good things about their fly gear but I don't do a whole lot of that. Thanks for the support Jorge!

[@jburke187]

Always enjoy your videos, and love using the mule jigs and the donkey tail junior. Great stuff, and your plastics last forever. Bring us more Bluegill videos!!!

[@FishAnything]

More bluegill vidoes to come I can promise you that! Thank you John :)

[@davidkirby5526]

I own the 6’6” TFO Trout&Panfish rod . I use it mainly for fishing micro jigs , 1/80 and 1/100 size , under a weighted float for panfish . I believe the 5’6” is more suited to throwing lures and jigs in the 1/64 and larger range . Been looking at the 5’6” model , but it’s been out of stock most places I’ve looked.

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

Thanks David! We have it in stock on our website right now!

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah, sounds like we fish very similar! Glad to see that TFO is back in stock :)

[@scotthooten5967]

Glad I found your channel. After watching your videos, I ordered a Dobyn's Sierra 6'2 panfish rod. It just arrived yesterday, hoping it gets warm enough here in Indiana so I can take it for a test run. What size Mule jig do you think works best with the Dobyn's Sierra panfish rod? I am hoping to have a stocking full of mule jigs and donkey tail juniors this Christmas! Are you using a Daiwa Regal reel in this video? In your opinion what do you think is the best ultralight reel for under $100? Also thanks for giving all of us fans a chance to be part of the giveaway! Minus my Dobyns rod all of my gear is sized for bass, walleye, and pike so it is awesome to have a chance to win some ultralight gear. Definitely want to do some more perch, crappie, and bluegill fishing. My local pond is stocked with bass and bluegill. I usually go after the bass but some of the bluegill are dinner plate size and I have caught them on bass lures so I think I will be slaying them next year with the donkey tail junior!

[@FishAnything]

Ohhhhh Scott you will truly love that rod! That is a perfect setup for the 1/32oz Mule Jig. I pretty much have one rigged on it at all times. Tight lines my friend - hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!

[@scotthooten5967]

@@FishAnything thanks for the reply! The rod is amazing, it has been warm enough the past couple days here in Indiana to do some fishing. So far I have caught a few large mouth bass with it and it handles them without a problem but they sure can make the rod flex. I let Santa (my wife) know that some 1/32 mule jigs would be great stocking stuffers so hopefully I have a stocking full of them!

[@uwuziel]

Ultra lights are some of my favorite rods. I've never been huge on sizing my fish up, just love going out and catching them!

[@FishAnything]

That is a dang good mentality :)

[@Henry-xh8ec]

Another day trout fishing is better than not fishing. Small fish can still be fun. Looking forward to more trout action.

[@FishAnything]

Can't wait to get back out there and find a bigger trout :)

[@ArcticGator]

Been wanting to get a little ultralight setup like that for years, something small enough for backpacking as a few of the places i regularly hike here in michigan look like they might have some good fish in them but the woods are pretty thick and gnarly and i ended up losing a few too many lures the one time i tried lol

[@FishAnything]

100% agree. Portability is so key here in MI! Good luck :)

[@larsius]

Thanks for scratching that fishing itch! We are between open water and ice seasons here in MN, I'd take a rotting log day of fishing right now!

[@FishAnything]

This time of year is challenging haha I am so ready for ice!

[@salvatoremarino8421]

Nice trout fishing! Always good to see a video from you.

[@FishAnything]

Thank you :) I appreciate the kind words and support!

[@ShawnMua]

I love my TFO, they're amazing! Shorter rod works wonders in areas with lots of vegetation like you said.

[@TempleForkOutfitters]

Thank you!

[@FishAnything]

Dang right! Glad to hear you are loving yours :)

[@deandregibson542]

Big fan of TFO, have three of their rods from a ML, M, and H for myself and my uncle has one of their discontinued 7’6 H spinning rods that handles stripers like a dream. Can’t wait to get ahold of one of their ULs

[@FishAnything]

That is awesome! I want to try their bass gear at some point too!

[@christianmadsen1469]

Great to see a trout fishing video. In my area we have a lot of small streams with trout, so this was kind of my thing. 😁 Try the Rapala X-Rap in the smallest version, trout seems to love that. All the best Christian from Denmark

[@FishAnything]

I need to try the X-Rap! Thanks for the recommendation Christian :)

[@LukeDehtiar]

I have found the 5'6" length to be about right for the environment you show in the video. It is also good for the kid that is ready to step up from the cartoon spincast.

[@FishAnything]

100% agree! I love the 5'6 and 6' lengths for most of my UL fishing

[@Scottyhooksetfishing]

Have been considering buying this rod, heard great things about it…..great video.

[@FishAnything]

Don't think you can go wrong! I have loved using it!

[@RileyReneau]

What sizs reel are you using? I cant decide if a 500 or 1000 would be better for my 5ft ul rod

[@FishAnything]

Size 1000 has been my favorite!

[@serp9365]

There’s nothing better than catching those cold trout

[@FishAnything]

Only thing better is catching a donkey trout XD

[@dirk419]

Love the the short ultralight rods, so versatile. Hoping to get into trout fishing at some point down here in southern Michigan around the Battle Creek/ Kalamazoo area

[@FishAnything]

You aren't too far away :) Hope you make time to find some trout this winter!

[@whiteyxj8367]

I have really been eyeing some TFO stuff seems like real quality rods I haven't had the best of luck with trout this year but been killing the pan fish on the mule jigs and plastics!!

[@FishAnything]

So happy to hear you are putting the gear to use! And yeah TFO is solid - definitely pleased with my gear.

[@murkywatersfishingco.22]

good videos man. Glad to see your videos. You’re the one who got me into ultralight fishing

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much! Happy to hear you are enjoying it :)
