Well i got out today with my new 6.6 fast action and an Okuma reel with 4 lb trilene. I threw Some Mepps aglia spinners, a Kastmaster, and a mini crank And was killing the bass! I think the large ones arnt active yet but with the light gear it was soo fun.

That is awesome to be catching them this time of year with a UL set up. I have a 7' Okuma UL rod mated to a small Abu G Cardinal.

You're dead on with how much of a blast UL fishing is. 8-)

I love UL fishing.  There is nothing like it.  Actually, topwater fishing is better, but I love UL fishing.  It really tests your skills as a fisherman and it is so fun.  Every fish feels like a monster. 

I fished almost exclusively with UL stuff for years until I got into frog fishing 5 or 6 years ago.  If the fish aren't banging on frogs my goto setup is still an UL rig with inline spinners.  It doesn't get much better than a 6 or 7 lb. catfish on an ultralight rod.

Ultralight is great. 4lb powerpro has improved my overall experience. You get the feel and sensitivity of braid and you still have a small enough test poundage to keep it sportsman like for the fish.

Yeah, the large ones arent active. That is why you couldnt get them on a mepps.

I caught a 5 last year on a 5'6 Light and 4# Trilene. Midday on a beetle spin. Great fight, took about two minutes to land.

I want to do it more this year. I'll probably get some small circle hooks and throw Zoom Finesse Worms when I just feel like slayin' fish all day.

Definitely tests your angling skills.

My PB smallie was on a 5' UL.  Try a 1/16th oz jighead with a Tiny Ika...

Yea I love that too I mean I love frog fishing actually the most, It is my favorite lure. but the ultralght is amazing I mean It really does feel Like you have a monster everytime and It gives you a better fight too.

"Yeah, the large ones arent active. That is why you couldnt get them on a mepps."

Is that sarcasm?

Can't slip anything past you, can he?   

when the shad start there run here in VA I like to set up the UL and have a blast with those little buggers!

Ultralight to me is 12 lb. test and a MH rod.   ;D
