    Default My Ultimate SUL


    Not a spinning combo , not BFS .
    It’s my Ultimate UL gill catching combo .
    A 5’9”, One weight Redington Butterstick fiberglass flyrod paired with a Redington Zero fly reel , loaded with a 3wt weight forward line .
    Weighing in at 145.26g for the complete combo including line , leader , and tungsten bead streamer . A mere 5.12 ounces .
    That’s less than most ultralight spinning reels .
    I need to check my 6’ St Croix Imperial fly rod with a Zero fly reel . It may be under 5 ounces being mostly graphite.

    I plan on taking the Butterstick out tomorrow for a short forty five minute fishing trip while my wife has PT .

    Such a super light wand that will bend into the handle with a five inch gill .
    Hopefully pics tomorrow.

    Truly a little rod. Must be fun with about any fish. I’d like to set up a GoPro and see you catch a 10” largemouth on that rig. Hope you have fun with it. You’d have a blast in the south Florida canals with the cichlids and Oscar’s that live there.

    That sounds like a terrific outfit, gill. They will all feel like monsters on that outfit!

    Got to spend around thirty minutes this morning tossing a streamer and then a spider .
    Caught nine . Most were small.
    First fish was the best . And the other little guy was most colorful.

    Nice. I'd hook my ear trying to cast a fly rod.

    I heard my tungsten beaded streamer whizz by my ear once this morning. Got my attention .
    The shorter fly rods are a little more difficult casting with weighted flies .

    Those got the colors, don’t they? Glad it worked out and you didn’t have to go get a needle sharp hook pulled out.
