If You Like Ultralight Fishing, You Should Try THIS RIG!

[@RamonOutdoors]

A buddy of mine calls that rig the double slab stacker. I haven't used it much, but it seems very effective. And you're right, when you become a parent you are constantly tired but eventually you get used to being tired.

[@FishAnything]

I am getting used to it already haha and that is a good name lol maybe I will get more creative with it!

[@geofffangerow4560]

Ethan, Just received some Donkey Tail Jr's from you in the mail this week. Took my son in law out and we had an amazing multi-species day! Both of us never had to rebait either. Thanks for being apart of the first father son in law fishing trip!

[@FishAnything]

This comment makes my day! I not only love the fact that you are putting them to use... I especially love that you are doing so with family :)

[@sergioc928]

I bought my first ultralight after watching lots of your ultralight videos and the next day I slayed 19 bluegills! the amount of fun fishing with the UL is indescribable! This double jig rig will be used next time I’m out fishing, thanks a lot man keep up the great content!

[@FishAnything]

So happy to hear it!! Keep up the good work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@fishingthedream7386]

Thanks for the inspiration! Because of your videos, I purchased an ultralight president/basspro combo. It’s been amazing capturing such a huge variety of species on a tiny jig. My ultralight has brought new life to my fishing experience for sure! Thanks again…also, my wife tried my new ultralight and it’s hard to get it back haha so she is into the ultralight game too.

[@FishAnything]

Haha this is awesome Jacob! Seriously, ultralight fishing is so much fun. Never know what you're going to catch next!

[@Plee92]

U made that double rig tie looked super easy and the visuals were clear

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Peter! Just takes a bit of practice.

[@cuttlefishpie3731]

I like it when you talk to the fish! ‘Stop it! Stop it! No don’t do that!’ You are a real life piscine Dr Dolittle!

[@FishAnything]

Haha I can't help myself when they squirm and flop!

[@Steve_Balboni]

Thanks for still pumping out content!!! I like the way you tied that. I have used the sabiki knot before and it just takes a while. It's a pain. This is so much better. You da man!

[@FishAnything]

Awesome! Thanks so much Ben! I’ll have to check out that knot too 🤠

[@anastaciolopez1434]

Fatherhood is the best. Wait till you take them fishing. The great times that await you. Thank You Sir.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I am loving it! I won't wish away these young days but I definitely look forward to the days he can come fish with me :)

[@carloscalvo9567]

I’m barely getting into ultralight and just found out about you page. I’m addicted lol. And congrats on your newborn!!!!

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much! He is now 10 months old haha time is flying!

[@johnhanes3450]

Dad life. Fishing moments become fleeting for a good while.

[@FishAnything]

All good! Just thankful for the trips I do get!

[@jeramyh9344]

I never get to fish as much as I like too. I used a double 1/64oz jig rig trying for perch and caught a 7lb Pike. I also used the same rig to catch several Rainbows over 3lb.

[@FishAnything]

Awesome! The double jig rig is so much fun :)

[@zephyrus7258]

Thank you so much just found a new use for my saltwater umbrella rig

[@FishAnything]

Right on!

[@willtrotter8178]

Just wanted to comment and say that I have become a donkey tail jr, addict. It’s about the only ultralight bait I’ll throw at the lake. This weekend I caught not only sunfish, but also perch, lmb, striper, crappie, and a few surprise channel cats! Will be ordering more within the next few weeks!

[@FishAnything]

THANK YOU SO MUCH WILL! So happy to hear that you are putting the gear to good use :)

[@TheHunterFisher]

Yepp. Trying this tomorroow

[@FishAnything]

Let me know how you do brotha 🤠👊🏽

[@kenappleby8481]

Dude, I love it! I'm gonna be trying this out the next time I'm out with the Mule Jigs! Your comments absolutely cracked me up. I'm totally down for you doing a mini series of testing out colors :)

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Ken! Let me know how it goes :) And yeah I might just have to do that!

[@sterlingwilson1565]

Great video Ethan 🎣👊love the double jig set up I definitely have to try that rig with the ultra light

[@FishAnything]

Hope you pop some big ones on it!

[@F.A.R.T]

Definitely appreciate the instructions on the rig! Going to try it. Thanks!

[@FishAnything]

Hope you have fun with it :)

[@mattyschell1973]

Dude, Ethan, thanks for the how to at the end of the video. I was having the hardest time following the on the water version but then again, I have ADD when it comes to knot tying. Im interested to try this on heavier line with the Spark Shad for Smallies. Gonna try to give it a go. Also, you aint kiddin about no time and always tired haha. These little months old nuggets are a handful!

[@FishAnything]

Right on Matty! Let me know how it works for them smallies -that sounds like a blast :) And yeah man lil' Charles likes to keep us up some nights haha but he is actually really good most nights so I am thankful for that.

[@Michael-yt3wz]

Great video and great jigs! Awesome job

[@FishAnything]

Thank you!

[@meyercamden]

Never tried this before, gotta try it on my next outing. Thanks for the tip!

[@FishAnything]

Hope you have fun with it!!

[@devinperreira6059]

Siiickkkkk! Love to see the new vids

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Devin. Thank you :)

[@FitzYakin]

Great rig. I've used similar with live bait (leeches and minnows) when fishing for bullhead and perch. Used to get doubles all the time when the fishing was prime (March for bullhead and April on the St. Lawrence for perch). Definitely a cool setup with jigs and soft baits. Especially in testing out the effectiveness of colors for a given situation. Great day of catching Ethan and glad the family is doing well. Parent life can be exhausting and time consuming for sure but all worth it.

[@FishAnything]

That sounds like a blast Fitzy! Yeah life is busy these days but I am loving being a dad 🤠🧡 Hope you’ve been catching lots of fish! Got your horse flies headed your way 👊🏽

[@FitzYakin]

@@FishAnything can't wait to try them out. I haven't been out fishing much lately (been doing lots of family stuff) but going to try and get my youngest out one more time for panfish and I want to try the Horse Flies.

[@evanslaton5588]

It is a very effective rig, for sure! I also always do the surgeon's loop for my top jig, but I also do the same knot for the bottom jig. I believe that loop gives the jig a lot more action and darting if it's not rigidly tied.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Evan! I will have to check out that surgeon's loop knot! Thanks for sharing :)

[@nathanm2571]

Nice idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@FishAnything]

Of course! Thanks for watching :)

[@Henry-xh8ec]

I'm going to have to try this rig. Which of the ultra light rods is your favorite. You need to do a video comparing them all. Then you need to test different ultra light reels.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I have been planning to do an ultralight rod update for a while. I might save it for a rainy day and film it inside though :) But my current favorites are the Dobyns Sierra, 13 Fishing Defy Silver, and the Temple Fork Trout & Panfish!

[@chasintrout5531]

I'm so excited my daiwa presso came today.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah! Go put some flex in it!

[@ownvideofootage]

You know what? I'll try it tomorrow!... Cheers!!

[@FishAnything]

Awesome! Hope you catch them good :)

[@jonpogue427]

Team Dink is Popping!👍🎣❤

[@FishAnything]

YEEEEAH BUDDY!

[@johnhanes3450]

Also, took your horse fly out three days ago. Caught two really nice bass, 20 bluegill, and one catfish. All that on one horse fly LOL

[@FishAnything]

THAT IS WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR :)

[@DannyKam4]

How do you like your tfo rod? I’ve seen your video on it. I almost picked one up last weekend but I went with another rod from a company called Tica. It’s their Spinfocus series rod and it is really nice for the price!

[@FishAnything]

The TFO is a super versatile UL rod. Big fan!

[@adamkaralus5468]

Like the knot, might try for the looming steelhead season. I’m sure free time is tight there in the Outdoorsman household but any plans for hitting up staging salmon? They are probably showing up at piers soon if not already up in MI

[@FishAnything]

No plans but who knows! I need a guide lol

[@mattnguyen1672]

Just bought some mules and donkey tails from Ethan I’m still at work just dying to go fishing to try them out when I get out!

[@FishAnything]

GO GET THEM! :)

[@Rockford-Rail]

Got my horse flies in today and hit the creeks and got a smallie right away. Any plans on making bigger ones? Keep up the great work!

[@FishAnything]

Right on! Glad it is working! Maybe someday, who knows!

[@charlesforest5323]

I've never tried the double jig rig. I have done the donkey rig with flukes for bass and it absolutely owns! Especially in fall! Edit: parenting gets easier the older they get! You will have a life time fishing buddy in no time.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Charles :) And yeah I fished that rig a time or two back in the day. You definitely need to try this for ultralight fishing!

[@terribleatfishing]

I am so impatient, I want my order now!

[@FishAnything]

Lol patience is a virtue! Glad you got the order though :) I will be checking out that unboxing soon!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Max :)

[@deaks4570]

great 'informal' fishing video. Enjoyed

[@FishAnything]

Thank you! :) Hope all is well!

[@deaks4570]

Yes thanks. Been busy sorting a new method for carrying my new kayak on the roof of my suv! It's good when you figure out a solution. Simple things!!

[@ronnetaylor7866]

Have you had the chance to try a diawa kage UL rod? I found a 6'1 ul at a local sports shop and it is now one of my favorites. There isn't too much information online about this rod but it is simply awesome

[@FishAnything]

Dude I wish you would find a second 6'1 model. That rod is on my list but I can't find it anywhere! I want the 1pc 6'1 rod. I will test it one of these days.

[@appalachianfishing3984]

Having kids will wear you out man! It's better when they go fishing with you!

[@FishAnything]

Can't wait to take the little man fishing :)

[@appalachianfishing3984]

I have 5 old enough to fish, when we go I spend 95% of the time baiting hooks and casting rods 5%actually fishing.

[@vernonsimmons4578]

Looks good!

[@FishAnything]

Works good too :)

[@MrBoomer-jl2gw]

Florida bass fisherman here. Gotta admit, ultralight fishing is so much more fun than bass fishing. Its a good break from the usual technical work involved with bass fishing.

[@FishAnything]

As an avid bass angler, I switched to doing a lot of UL fishing and now I rarely bass fish anymore. Totally agreed!

[@Digitalv0id39]

How important do think it is to somewhat match the jig color with the soft plastic color?

[@FishAnything]

Color definitely makes a difference but I think pairing specific colors together isn't that big of a deal. I like to match them up if I want to be natural but if the water is cloudy, I like to add some "pop" with a brighter head.

[@Steve_Balboni]

What computer and software do you use for editing?

[@FishAnything]

I edit in Adobe Premiere on a Macbook

[@RJZS1]

dude you'd probably love fly fishing, your basically nymphing with this setup

[@FishAnything]

Haha yeah I tend to UL fish techniques very common in the fly world!

[@kianmar1901]

i like to do this with 1-2inch power bait grubs it works and it fun

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah!

[@HookinDinks]

Hmmm, I may have to give it a try… Now I need more donkey tail colours lol

[@FishAnything]

Haha love it! Let me know how you do with this rig. You can always use two of the same color too (especially if they are hitting it well)

[@alfredosantano8844]

Hey I am interested in knowing is it a canoe that you use while fishing

[@FishAnything]

It’s a old town discovery solo 119!

[@plutoplatters]

change the color around.... to test the which hook they hit..... most..top bottom ?

[@danthompson1467]

Great vid

[@FishAnything]

Thank you Dan :)

[@patrickhartman6818]

5 bass today 3 over 2lbs the best day I have ever had

[@FishAnything]

Awesome! So happy you had a fun trip :)

[@natebonebusta]

Quick tip: Swipe left from the edge of your lock screen on your iPhone and you'll open your camera up!!

[@FishAnything]

As much as you'd assume I am good with tech (because I make videos), I have no idea what I am doing lol

[@plutoplatters]

I've a Old Town Pack canoe 11ft... get yourself a 4 ft piece of paracord and make a lanyard for the paddle... then no worries at all.. about it drifting away.. I put my paddle IN the water floating next to the boat... NOT in the way at all ...

[@FishAnything]

Smart idea!!

been fun to make ONE of the 2 jigs a realllllllllly ugly or weird color ..just to see if it mattered

[@FishAnything]

For sure! That is why this rig is fun - you can experiment quickly.

[@TABurns42]

What's your go-to ultralight rod/reel/line setup right now?

[@FishAnything]

I have several haha but my top 3 are as follows... Dobyns Sierra, Temple Fork Trout & Panfish, 13 Fishing Defy Silver

[@FishAnything]

As far as reels go, I like any Shimano/Daiwa size 1000 and my favorite line is Trilene Sensation 2lb test!
