Ultralight Fishing With The SHIMANO SENSILITE [First Impressions]

The Shimano Sensilite only costs $50 so it is yet another budget-friendly ultralight rod option. But how does it perform? Well, I took this rod out to do some testing, and overall, I am very impressed. That said, it has specific things it does really well, so it may or may not be good for your style of fishing.
This rod is very fast action so I found that it is a great option for ultralight jig anglers (especially if you like Sunfish & Bass). Due to how fast it is, I probably wouldn't pick it up if you plan to fish a lot of treble-hooked baits or pursue fish with softer mouths. Anyway, I loved this rod personally because I always enjoy a fast ultralight rod. I also really like the way it is designed aesthetically. It is very comfortable to fish with and it balanced well with my Daiwa Revros LT 1000. I have also picked up the 6' Light action rod and that feels equally as comfortable. I would be very curious how the 6'6 feels - I bet that is a stellar rod.

Dude I'm so glad to see someone else who casts with their right hand and then passes the rod to their left. I though I was the only person who did that.

[@tasuk3ru]

i got the sensilite a couple days before i got my 13 defy silver and i was able to catch a bunch of big bass on it, my first impressions were amazing!

[@mariorodriguez7895]

I don't understand why people put braid on a ultralight setup

[@desertboy9632]

What reel are you using

[@northernmichiganangler6400]

The jigs getting yeeted from the tackle box made me Laugh out loud 🤣 glad you got to put that rod through the paces tho! No shortage of fish feedback!

[@THEBIGK4HUN4]

What kind of jig box is that ? Is there a name for it

[@joeyb3102]

Why would that rod not he good for trout? (From the guy who just bought it for trout)

[@alinator117]

What 50$ish rod would you say is good for those mini crank baits with the treble hooks like you used in the video? I have a small crank bait that I got like the snap bean, but only have a Ugly Stik GX2 6'6'' medium power moderate fast action with 10lbs mono line. I can't cast the crankbait very far and I'm also interested in a lighter rod.

Where did you buy your watch on this video?

[@shermanou1337]

The industry term is call rod torque, when you say balancing. it closely related to how you feel the weight of the rod. You probably can't feel the difference between a 80g rod and 120g rod, but the balancing spells it out. You should try the 13fishing defy sliver 7ft UL. It is amazing for moving lure.

It’s always the smaller channels that catch the best fish and actually have interesting videos. been watching the channel for a while love the content

[@RamonOutdoors]

Cracking a beer on a work day while fishing is literally the best thing ever. LIVING THE DREAM.

[@evolemorej7983]

I got the 6'6 Ultralight Senselite Rod & definitely love the look & feel of it. For the Reel I strapped on the Shimano Sedona Fl 1000 with 4lb fluorocarbon. Haven't done much panfishing yet but I'm excited for Spring/Summer to come back around up here in Minnesota.

I have the 6’ Light and the 6’6” Ultralight in this rod and they are both awesome. Had them for over a year and have lost count on how panfish I have caught on both of them. Super light, very sensitive and a workhorse rod. Caught numerous 2lbs+ bass as well on both rods and even a couple eater walleyes on the 6’ Light. You won’t be disappointed in purchasing one of these

[@samuelwarden6285]

I started to buy the Sensilite before I bought my defy silver. I wanted the 6 1/2 ft version and they were sold out. That's one of the reasons why I got the defy silver. That and your review on ithe silver sold me. I bought it in ultra light and light action in 6 1/2 ft. Both versions of those rods are great. 👊👍

[@willtraveltofish]

Picked this rod up 3 years and absolutely love it! Now if I could only find the casting version!

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Miller Lite. Wow. I am old enough to remember their original "Tastes great, less filing" ad campaigns from back in the day. Some true laugh-out-loud commercials, especially the ones with Bob Uecker. "I must be in the front rowwww.." So funny watching you switch hands with that spinner. Still loving my Defy Silver, but it sounds like the Sensilite is a great rod for the money. Thanks Ethan!

[@bmartin1785]

Dude you’re my spirit animal whipping out the back pocket Miller Lite

[@FlyCastFilms]

Cheers to that 🍻 Fish can't resist those Mule Lures 👀 Solid looking combo!

I really enjoy your take on all things fishing. My first ultralight was a 7 my next was a 5'6 got them in winter time, finally got to put fish on them. I think I prefer the 5'6 for lures , and the 7 for float fishing. Dipped worms last night , and I was catching lots of pike minnow. I have to try the beer, I was cracking beers early morning salmon season, none since
