You're the only one that I'm aware of doing this kind of analysis for ultra light fishing. Or that talks about 'technique specific' rods for ultra light. I would love to see a video from you in the vein of the 'tactical bassin' or 'hook-up tackle' videos where they talk about certain rods for certain types of baits. For example, do you like to fish trout magents, then get one of these 3 rods. Or do you like to float fish, get one of these rods, etc. There are tons of these videos on YT for bass, but not for stocked trout, panfish etc.

@@ifishcatfish That is true, and the same could be said for bass fishing (which I don't do), that you could use about any rod with any bait. But if there are certain types of baits or methods of fishing that pair well with certain rods (for ultra light fishing), you are the only one qualified to talk about it that I am aware of.

Hello, what a comparison great job!! Before 2 days i was thinking to get 510xul, but its only for small jig and small spoon. My goal is perch and river mullet, the perch is catching 80% with jig head and river mullet 80% with cranks/minnow/spoon. So in my bag i have spoon,minnow,crank 1-5g and jig 1-3g, the way is 61ml or 61l, if i go for 61ml i cant fish perch, and if i go 61l i will catch perch and mullet but will have not best parabolic i want to 😅 It is possible to compare the bend over 61ml and 61l, so i get finnaly decision which one to buy between 61ml and 61l. Thanks.!

So far I haven't had any problems and the biggest one I've caught so far with it is a 32cm from underneath a pontoon. Patience with the fight has been the key. My local is extremely pressured and casting unweighted plastics has been the answer most days. Not many rods can cast unweighted plastics well in Aus, but this presso sends them flying. I understood I was sacrificing alot of power, but power doesn't matter if the bream aren't biting your lures.

Another great video, just what I was waiting for. Good luck out there today! I have a few questions if you don’t mind. What in your opinion is a good quality rod for fishing soft plastics for small/large mouth bass in the sub 18-20” range? Have you ever tried on of the Tenryu Lunakia rods? If so what was your impression? Do you generally adhere to the line diameter rating of you JDM rods, or is it ok in your opinion to go over by 0.1-0.2mm? Keep the quality content coming, we all appreciate your time investment for our entertainment/learning.
@ifishcatfish Жыл бұрын
well fishing was horrible, but it was a gorgeous day, and i still enjoyed it. I don't know anything about big bass. I rarely catch anything over 14".. and I catch them on panfish lures. I have not tried those rods, but they look too heavy and too stiff for my kind of fishing. I think they would be amazing for 18-20" bass though. 0.2mm is way too much to go over. Maybe you mean 0.02mm? The lines I use range from 0.108 to 0.148 mm. Thicker line will affect the line lay, especially on shimano reels. Shimano reels lay the line in paralel coils and they can fit only so many coils from bottom to top of spool. If u put thicker line, now the coils won't fit and the line lay will start to look like Daiwa. That said, line lay is the only problem. If your line lay looks fine, and the line can fly through the guides of the rod OK - then you are fine.

I have the lunakia in 610ml. Love it! My main trout spoon rod. Very light and pairs perfectly with my 2000 luvias. Very thin but has enough power to keep you in control. It says medium light but its just as ultra light as my other UL rods. Rod is fast. Tip has some bend but its a tubular tip so it can only bend so much. When I weighed it,it was around 58 grams. Reminds me a bit of a major craft in terms of action, but a little more parabolic. Definitely would not recommend for jigging. Too stiff for that. But if you’re reel retrieving a lure I would definitely recommend the model I have. Don’t forget to buy a hook keeper with it.

@ifishcatfish2 ай бұрын
Not really. Its casts amazing, maybe even farther, because of the extra 3 inches of length. The only downside to me is the Fast action. The first half of the rod does not bend very much, so you play the fish only with the top half. Its really not bad, its not like extra fast action of the Corto.. But i just love the parabolic bend of the XUL and the ML. The UL and L have fast action.

Hi Victor. I have still not decided which rod to take. Answering these two questions, will help me in choosing the right rod. How do you think: Is the AIR AGS ML 6.1 version more parabolic than TFO TPS2 601-2 and more sharp than TFO TPS2 601-2 while jigging with 2g jighead? Is the AIR 51 OUL more parabolic than TFO TPS2 601-2 and more sharp than TFO TPS2 601-2 while jigging with 2g jighead? Thank you in advance, best.

One more thing, just have found that i'm having daiwa presso 5'6 4pc rod ;). I have measured it and it have about 1,2mm on the tip and about 6.1mm on the bottom. For me, this rod has a sharp tip even with 3g jigheads while jigging it's a fast action rod for me. It's very good for jigging for me but a little too stiff action while fishing perches. So the Air AGS with the same sharp tip but 20% more soft/parabolic blank would be perfect ;). Looks that 510UL should fit, but not sure if the presso and presso air ags could be compared.

@@lmps5806 You understanding of Action is wrong, and that is dangerous when u watch my videos. The 4 piece Presso has very SLOW action. SLOW action is just another word for parabolic. It has nothing nothing nothing to do with Recovery and 'Sharp Tip'. It simply describes the SHAPE of the bend curve. If you make a rod very STIFF, as this horrible 4 piece garbage that i hate, it will appear to have fast recovery and sharp tip because it is so stiff and overpowered. That is like ML power rod, it has nothing to do with Ultralight fishing.

U want to ta have everything in one rod and that's not gona happen because the properties required for sharp tip don't allow parabolic bend. I think the Yamaga Blanks is the closest to what you want and is still one of my favorite rods and i am never selling it. If u buy the XUL and u throw small jigs u will like it. Because it is so short, it doesn't wobble even tho it has parabolic bend. But if u buy the longer ones u will probably wish the L was more parabolic or the ML have sharper tip. For the heavy jigs i recommend Yamaga Blanks

Hello. First, thank you again for so much detail review, perfect. I'm going to buy my next UL rod mostly for fishing perches in EU. The most often I use 1-3g jigheads or cheburashka hooks with 1,5' tantas or 2' keitech easy shiners with jigging and twiching. Will the Light version AGS 61L handle 3g jighead + 2' keitech jigging with still relativly sharp tip? For example, I'm using the TFO TPS2 601-2 and for me it's tip action could not be slower. How could you compare the AGS 61L vs TFO TPS2 601-2? Best.
@ifishcatfish9 ай бұрын
The Presso has MUCH faster Recovery, if you understand what that means. The term slow action of the tip is meaningless, u probably mean slow recovery. Action is attribute of the blank, not the tip. Anyway, the 6'1 L has extremely sharp tip and extremely fast recovery. HOWEVER, as i said in the video, this is not Light power rod, it is a true Ultralight. The fact is that your load is just a little too heavy for Ultralight. You can still fish it but this much weight will overload the tip. Don't confuse overloading the rod with what u call slow action or slow Recovery. I would say the limit of the Presso rods is about 2.5 g head. If you want to fish 3 gram and still have sharp tip, you should watch my review of the Yamaga Blanks. That blank has more power and will stay sharp even with 3 gram
@lmps58069 ай бұрын
Yes, you perfectly summarized what i wanted to know. The most important for me, is the real rig weight that will no overload the tip during jigging. For me it's important to always have the ability to make crisp/sharp/dynamic jig from the bottom. Regarding this, in your opinion what is the max lure weight for the 510XUL and the 61L? Best.
@ifishcatfish9 ай бұрын

Hi Victor, you say the 61ML is soft and parabolic, would you consider it wobbly? In California, we mini jig for trout with very soft and wobbly rods to impart action on the mini jig. I am looking for a JDM rod to fill this niche, but I am having difficulty finding a soft wobbly rod besides the discontinued eradicator slow tapers. Thank you. If not, do you have recommendation on a slow recovery wobbly parabolic rod that weighs around 50g and is readily available for 1 g jig and?
@ifishcatfish6 ай бұрын
It is not wobbly but also it is not as sharp as the L model. L model is fast action and is sharp, but mostly bends from tip. The ML is very parabolic, but still has fast recovery and i wouldn't describe it as wobbly. It is MORE Parabolic than the Eradicator. The Eradicator action is more parabolic than the L but less parabolic than the ML. However if you are talking about 1g jigs, both the L and the ML are the wrong models, as they are UL power rods that load better over 1 gram. You want the XUL model that is was created personally by God himself for 1 gram jigs. Don't even ask me questions about action or wobbliness, its a waste of time. If you are casting 1 gram jigs, you want the 5'10 XUIL model. It loads so nice without being a noodle.
