Well I am thinking about wooly worms. Look alive enough and with my skills it definitely looks in distress lol. I did note that is was upside down I put the hook in like the video showed and didn't think of the eye. Good catch though. I just want to do more then the standard fir a tail that sell everywhere. If it works I will let you know.

ok this is my first attempt. i got a fly tying beginners kit and i tried in jig form. this is the intent for bass and panfish. ok this one is to thin but it was a first attempt. please tell me what you think. and any suggestions please let me know.

sorry for not getting back to you all. I had a small stroke and haven't made it to the store yet. i will let you know what i do get and that was a very good post i agree that a 7' rod would probably be best and light action might be better for dead lift ability. i am making my crank baits since i am laid up for a bit. 1" wooden. the size is comparable to a Rapala countdown cd-1. will start a post in home made soon. thanks for the help The duck

Thank you rocknfish and cephkiller for your suggestions. I think I like cephkillers best. I was looking at that one. But that brings me to another question in ul how important is the lure weight? I know the 6'6 is 1/32-1/4 and the 7' is 1/16-1/4 is there any advantage to use a 1/32? I don't believe I have seen a crank that small personally but I am also not in the know. I am also wondering if I should get that rod and move up the reel to the next higher so I get 6 lb line for a possibility. (Just thinking of utility) I doubt I would go over 4 lb line but should I step it up so I can swap spools with a 4 and a 6? Sorry for all the noob questions but I don't really know anything about ul fishing. (well no blue water experience that is) Thanks again for all the help so far The Duck

Hehe yea that is the source of my headache I cant find a specific combo either. It seems when we pass 5'5 the picking start to get slim. I read in one book that the writer cast them on 1 lb test linenot something I am depending on but I will give it a try for fun. I don't maintain high hopes for it to work. But ty for the direction. Just one question 750 or 1000 series reel? What brand? I tried to google 1000 series and got wildly different reels.

I was thinking about 4lb test.. and if it has a spare spool I have heard that if you put 1-2 lb test you can cast flys with a spinning rod.(not sure if this is true but might be fun to try) I would like to try that. So I do wonder how long the rod should be I have heard everything from 4' 12' I would like to use crank and wagglers mostly I have the rebel ul crawfish and that is the kind of tackle I want to use mostly. That and thrill bobbers I got hocked on the stealth. Very cool for windy ponds.

Hi all, I am new to the board and new to fishing. More or less I have done the red and white bobber fishing with dad when I was young. I am much older now and would like to complicate fishing. LOL What I am looking for is an ultra-lite or super ultra-lite. I thought this would be easy so I grabbed some thrill bobbers/wagglers and went down to bass pro shops and asked what kind of reel and rod he would recommend Well what I got in return is more information then I think I ever want to know. However no definitive answer. I have gone through 4 books on ultra-lite fishing and have searched the net, now I am more lost than ever. From what I understand there has to be a Zen like balance between the rod, reel and the line. This is where I lost it. hehe So please help me with any advice you can, and please keep it simple this is making my head hurt. hehe I am looking for a ul or sul that I don't have to build(I will work up to that), under $100,spinning, must break down into 2 or more pieces, and have some length to it(I am basing this on what I have read, keep in mind it has to be able to cast from a sitting position and always from a dock, I am in a wheelchair). I am hunting bass and any pan fish. Thank you for your help
