Five Ultralight Techniques You Need To Fish This Year!

[@atoadigi]

As a bank fisherman I always start off with a small jig 1/64 or 1/32 oz under a float with either a gulp minnow or donkey tail jr. That usually always prevents the skunk then spend the rest of my time using and experimenting with other techniques. Thank you Ethan for your videos you are the one that has gotten me addicted to ultra light fishing!!!!

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

I have caught several bluegills over 9 inches on the DT Jr., so I can recommend it as a bait to target big 'gills.

[@FishAnything]

I love it! Sounds like a good way to enjoy every trip :) Thanks as always for the support my friend.

[@travisnorton7194]

What size gulp minnow ?

[@atoadigi]

@@travisnorton7194 I use the 2-1/2" gulp minnow and if needed I'll cut a 1/2" or 3/4" off if they keep striking the tail and are not eating the hook. I like using the 2-1/2" instead of the 1" because it will usually prevent the really small ones from hitting it and bass will hit the 2-1/2" size. The 1" will catch a ton of fish but you'll get a lot of dinky ones. 1" is good to use for kids so they keep catching something

[@Gstar5150]

I hate gulp baits they are so nasty, the whole point I use a jig is so I don't have to touch nasty nightcrawlers 🤢. You should try the Bobby Garland jigs, I love the Black licorice color, monkey milk, Blue Thunder, Twilight and so on.

[@mikew.762]

I’ve been fishing ultralight rigs for over 20 years many of the lures and rigs you showed is exactly what I use and catch fish all the time

[@FishAnything]

Awesome! Ultralight is such a fun way to fish. Tight lines Mike :)

[@inannashu689]

I pulled a 22 pound catfish across a lake on 5 ft pole with 6lb line with no leader,took me about an hour to very slowly bring the fish in but after that I was completely ultralight fishing from then on out.

[@FishAnything]

Sounds like you have SKILLS! Nicely done.

[@inannashu689]

@@FishAnything Just lucky lol

[@ClearWater7.62]

Whats a good size reel for a 7'6" ultra light rod, rated for 1-6 lbs and 1/32 - 1/4 oz weight. Budget $100-160

[@rodj9902]

A great video explaining everything! I’m just an old guy…70, getting back into fishing … thanks big time Plus it seems you have lots of great followers… best to everyone, let’s catch some fish and have a great time on the water 👍😎😄

[@FishAnything]

Thanks so much - holler if I can ever help out further! Tight lines my friend :)

[@Girlwholoves2fish]

I need to try that double rig! I love that you just dont talk bout your baits but you also talk bout others!

[@FishAnything]

You definitely need to try it! And yeah, it always drives me nuts when I watch someone that just pushes their stuff the entire time. I fish my stuff because I believe in it but I will never say that there aren't other good companies out there too. Good to have a variety :)

[@thomaskurata2548]

Thank you for your video. You speak with high intelligence backed by obvious experience. I've watched countless other videos with hosts who explain nothing about how they're fishing or what techniques they use. I'll continue to watch your videos so I can become better. Thank you!

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much, Thomas!

[@divin777]

I love these videos because I felt guilty and stupid for using them on the water’s edge. Most fishermen here use a single jig or a dropshot while I try to find what makes a better selection so I’ve combined a jig as a weight for my dropshot and a foot or so higher a single hook for a soft bait( creature or a small ribbed gummy worm). Sometimes I just decide to use the jig leaving the small hook free as I’ve thought it’s invisible. My surprise was that there were times I’ve got more fish on the free hook than on the jig itself. The fish have an insane visual perception under the water.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah a double jig rig / drop shot hybrid. Definitely a good option!

[@malibujoe01]

This is a great video for two reasons 1. I love your detailed discussion. It is never a bad time to learn a new technique. 2. I learn something in all of you videos with a table top and discussion. Please continue to find the time and energy to put out this type of content 🙏 I also made an order for your products, so good on you Sir!

[@danthompson1467]

Glad to see you back on with some great tips . I went down to the river today and looked it over lots of ice on it but running hard . But it was a nice day in the 30’s got my blood pumping for spring and the day I can get out the mule jigs and pop the the small mouth 😎🎣🇺🇸

Heck yeah Dan! Stay warm out there buddy - can't wait for you to pop some smallies too :)

[@mattbrown5511]

I just got back into fishing after a 25-year break. I am now a disabled veteran. I learned quickly to go out with a small box of pre-made jig rigs to attach to a swivel. It works for me. I'll look up your products.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Matt! Gotta find something that works for you and stick to it. Tight lines :)

[@mattbrown5511]

@@FishAnything With my injuries, I have to be able to change lures/rigs easily. Nerve damage sometimes makes it difficult to tie knots. Tighlines and full strings friend.

[@yep.fishing]

The double jig makes so much sense and I have flirted with doing it but have felt it's a "naughty' technique. Also you can increase your casting distance but still get the benefit of a lighter presentation.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah the casting distance gain is a huge benefit for true ultralight jigs.

[@fish2reelaxfishing662]

That Rebel “Crickhopper” is crazy good. It is the best fishing, ugly, hard bait out there. If the float rig gets you fly fishing I am all for it 😂 “Spring is Coming”

[@FishAnything]

Haha love it! That little bait is definitely a bit ugly but it sure is a fun bait to fish. I look forward to tossing it around in the evening this summer.

[@TheSouthbreeze]

I'd like to see you do a video on your yellow kayak. It looks fun and not a lot of trouble. Love all your videos on ultra light fishing, keep them coming!

[@FishAnything]

I might have to do a fishing rig walk-through video at some point. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@brianathern9154]

All of my favorites for ultralight fishing spare 1, the tiny inline spinners. Another great video Ethan. I love using a variation of the drop shot and some old crappie double rigs. Although for live bait it gave me the double jig idea before I saw it years ago. I try to start my newbie with slip floats, ice jigs and wax worms to get familiar with it. And buddy if I've got 1 then it's probably 50 varied ultralight crankbaits..Rebel, Rapala, Yozuri, Matzuo, tiny lipless rattling baits. You hit a home run with me on this one. What a blast!!!

[@FishAnything]

Always learning new rigs, but these five are pretty hard to beat!

[@GuysGuideService479]

When I do the nonslip mono loop, I put the overhead knot around my index finger. That way I can keep everything tight while completing the knot and adjust how big I want the loop before taking it off my index finger for final tightening

[@ricarthobeekay5256]

On a Canadian fishing trip last year I used a 6 ft medium light rod with 4 lb test mono, a 3/16 oz jig with 2 in gulp minnow and out fished all 3 of my buddies for both smallmouth and walleyes. largest walleye was 28 in.! They all wanted my “magic minnows”.

[@FishAnything]

That had to be a blast!!

[@anthonyanticouni9293]

[@FishAnything]

Happy to hear it is working well for you! Tight lines :)

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Thank you for the great tips, Ethan. The micro drop shot has been very good for me; I also use 1/8 weight. Was surprised the micro Ned rig was not more prominently mentioned in this video; that's another one I have been playing with. I grew up fishing double (sometimes triple) jigs on the saltwater grass flats; fun days indeed. Just wait till a largemouth and a pike each grab one of those jigs. Game on. Hoping that you and yours have a happy, safe and prosperous 2022.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks OS! Yeah a Micro Ned Rig would fall under the number 1 choice for me - jig & plastic. Hope you're out there catching a few :)

[@johnathonhoneycutt4346]

Awesome technique tips video. My order from mule arrived yesterday with a beautiful array of jigs and plastic my new 13 fishing ultralight arrived aswell so I'm ready to go. Time to scratch that itch. Tight lines Ethan.

Must apologize right off the bat as I have not been hitting the like button or subscribed yet but that has to change as I am addicted to watching you catch such beautiful albeit small fish but the enthusiasm and fun you have going about it is awesome!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks so much for the support. No need to apologize :)

[@54kasey]

I always have an ultralight rig with me on my kayak but have tended to use it as a backup in case my other rigs aren't producing. I'm gonna concentrate more this year on the ultralight stuff, and I appreciate these tips :). We're facing a week of at or below zero temps up here in Minnesota this week...can't wait for spring!

[@FishAnything]

Always smart to have one ready when the larger species aren't cooperating. But yeah, I would love if you gave it more time this year. I have done so and man, I love it so much! Cheers to a lot of donkeys this spring :)

[@RTanna89]

Love the ultra light drop shot, had great success with it last season. Found out about switching out the weight with a need rig right when ice showed up, dying for spring to get here to try it out.

[@FishAnything]

I have thought about that but I typically avoid it because I feel it is more natural to just use one bait when fishing a slow presentation. I might have to experiment a bit this year with that!

[@CommonManBrewing]

My go to bfs UL technique is a size 4 or 2 EWG hook and soft plastic in the 3-4” range. Plastic could be a finesse or drop shot worm, a TRD or a micro creature bait. Weight of the hook and soft plastic creates a very slow/natural fall to the bottom and usually get inhaled on the initial fall. Produces in heavily pressured fisheries. Great vid Ethan!!

[@FishAnything]

Awesome! Sounds like a good way to catch a lot of fish :) thanks for watching and sharing.

[@funfish-mg1bg]

My favorite by far are micro crank baits! It amazes me how small a fish will take it. Also in my opinion more fun than throwing a cast net for live bait for nighttime cat fishing at the camp site. Great video, looking forward to trying the vertical technique... Eat, sleep, fish!

[@FishAnything]

Micro crank baits are always a blast :) Good point!

There is actually a category of fishing called "Micro Fishing" that is gaining popularity. Most pre-made items have to be purchased from overseas, but I make all of my own micro gear and I am sure others do as well!

[@k62g58]

Loved this video. As I have gotten more into fishing after retirement, I'm always looking for new ideas and techniques. I'm adding a double jig to this year's fishing. With Santa's help, I now find myself skewed towards ultralight rigs which I had lots of fun with especially last summer. Fishing a new pond with an ul rig and expecting panfish or maybe a small bass, I unexpectedly landed (seemed to take forever) a 24 inch channel catfish. It was a blast.

[@FishAnything]

Oh boy a 24" catfish must have been a riot on an UL! And I am so happy to hear you are enjoying the videos and the style of fishing. Lots of fun UL content planned for this season :)

[@Michal_Bauer]

It's interesting that most of this methods would be illegal or borderline illegal in my country (mostly due to lawmakers being somehow out of touch and real problem with poachers). Great chanell anyway, I'm going back to fishing after 20 years and I build my self some nice light (but not ultralight) rig. Your videos are really helpfull.

[@Henry-xh8ec]

Great info, Ethan. Looking forward to more ultralight videos. Also love the rod comparison videos.

[@robertveith2255]

I love the peg float I too use it for trout also !!!!!!!

[@FishAnything]

Such a fun little rig!

[@stevescuba1978]

One additional method for floats....use a small clear bubble float, fill it halfway with water, put a small swivel on thebterminal side of the float and 5-6' (or 1.5x the depth of the water)of leader to a fly, streamer, or even small spinner. I've used this in creeks, rivers, and lakes with great success. The best is a pistol pete fly with a small spinner on the front. Its a trout slayer, and ive caught plenty of sunfish and bass too. Its one setup for multiple bait choices and scenarios. Add a top and bottom bobber stop, and you can get really creative with fishing depths, obstacle avoidance, and ecen use the current in a stream to pull your lures and keep them out of the rocks.

[@nathanm2571]

Great video! 1/32 mule jig with DT jrs have caught me a lot of creek and lake fish this last season. Good advise with the rapala floating above weeds. I tried that once last season with good results.

I usually remove the split-ring and replace it with a Berkley Cros-Lok snap. With light line there's always a chance of getting your line nicked on the sharp ends of the split-ring and breaking a fish off.

[@mitchellandking]

If you fish with a flurocarbon trace leader, these have a clip and spinning connection which makes changeover really easy, means you don't need to always re-tie if you are tight on time. I rarely tie the lures to the line anymore. No drop in catch rate either !

[@shawneldridge4465]

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New happy Year's as well. When I do my trout fishing I always use ultralight gear, I think it's the best way ever. During the fall and cooler water and temperatures, I like to use the most lightest jigs that I can find. Like a 1/32 oz vmc crayfish pro series, 1/64 oz trout magnet or I'll use a Berkley powerbait 3 inch orange peel floating worm, using a 1/64 oz trout magnet jig head. It does work wonders. I'm so glad you did a video I was wondering if you were going to do one sometime soon. Great information, great video and I enjoyed watching too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I just got my mule jigs, and UL rod and reel. Yesterday went to the lake to fish off the shore using bobber set up being it was cold. I got zero bites. I think my presentation wasn’t good becusee of the set up I used. Gonna use different knots to make a better presentations Thank you for teaching what works.

Give it time! Fishing in cold water can be a challenge, as it is important you find the right areas. Presentation is key, but it’s only effective if you’re around fish.

[@RworldKM]

My favourite finesse jerkbait by far is the OSP Asura Durga. Comes with a magnetic weight transfer so at 4grams it flies like a bullet. Swims beautifully with a nice slalom whether you retrieve it fast or slow. You can jerk it aggressively, but whatI like to do is retrieve it extremely slowly, with a few quick jerks every 5 seconds. Any fish that sees it will follow and that sudden jerk makes it attack instinctively.

[@FishAnything]

Good feedback - thank you for sharing. I will check that out!

[@RonMTube]

1/4 ounce? Bite your tongue! Just kidding. Fish however you want. Thanks for the vid and for being an ambassador of UL.

[@yep.fishing]

Ethan, if I was retrieving a plastic 2ft under a peg float do you think the little wake the float creates scares or attracts the fish?

[@FishAnything]

I think floats can spook fish in really clear conditions or highly pressured areas. Otherwise, I don't think they make a huge difference. They may actually attract fish in certain places.

[@yep.fishing]

[@hughbrown6023]

I'd like to learn more about your kayak and why you chose it.

[@FishAnything]

The Old Town Sportsman PDL 120 is a solid rig. To be honest, I chose it because I got it for free. But it is a dynamite rig for serious fishing trips. At this point, I would like to potentially exchange it for something about 30 lbs lighter but still featuring pedals. Not many options out there, but I would be willing to sacrifice stability/storage for speed and convenience of transport.

love the videos~ i sent burly some EPF swim to test out against the DNKYjr bc i'm pretty confident DNKYjr will win. I live in philly and big fan of EPF, but i gotta admit your Donkey Tails are amaaaaazing and 100% outperformed the EPF swim for me (shhh don't tell leo sheng)

Haha that is epic! Leo is a badass and I have nothing but respect for him. Glad to hear the Donkey Tail Jr is working better for you though lol

I have a suggestion. Try using a quill float. It's a little different technique like bobber fishing. Even more ultralight. Just a idea.

That looks really interesting. Thank you JP!
