Ultralight Fishing
Ultralight game has taken up the momentum again now because it was introduced long ago. We could hear almost everywhere anglers will be talking about Ultralight fishing no matter they enjoy it or they don’t accepting it.
In Malaysia this phenomenon has now disperse throughout the country. It has become one of the sport fishing style that ventured by various age groups and gender. What is specific ultralight fishing able to offer pure satisfaction regardless the fish. As we all aware the earth now has changed. All good reef fishing spots have been damaged with developments and lots of rivers eliminated forever. The fish human population is decreasing and we may hardly find spots with a lot of potential for monsters. So , everything still exist now are tiny fish and we got to adapt our fishing setup to match the game.
First you need to find the meaning of ultralight fishing. Ultralight is NOT meant for big fish or region with lots of structures. Use the common sense before taking virtually any risk that can do problems for your fishing. There are few things you need to understand very well and all these need time and efforts through on-field knowledge.
You need to discard all the negative impression you have first before seeking ultralight game. You need to understand the motives and processes we took to educate and give you know-how. For me we must try various things because knowledge is available in different ways and forms. Often we need to do something that is not acceptable to educate because that’s in order we can explain for others to understand.
The initial thing you need to understand is we Have no fish like in US, The european countries or Japan. So , use your brain and common sense when you need to go fishing. This goes to everybody who read this article. Appreciate your target fish, common fishing spots and select your rod (setup) correctly including other accessories that required. Locally, we have prevalent targeted fish like Indo-Pacific tarpon, peacock bass, tilapia/ cichlids, Burmese trout, tiny hampala, small copper mahseer or/and lots of other seafood within the same size. Therefore , with these in mind you may want to get trout fishing rod to be able to get the maximum feel the moment fishing. Normally, a good trout rod will allow you to cast up to 4g of lure weight effortless. They come with quickly or moderate fast (preferable) action that will give you extra feel when you having a battle with the fish with duration usually 5 feet approximately 6’6 feet but today there are several trout rod longer than usual. It depend on your angling area (adjust based on the fishing location) and this depend on your own tastes.
Example: Kanicen Nix - Sengat, Zuna, Trapara, Berkley Cherrywood, Daiwa Presso, Shimano Scimitar and many others.
For what reason many still having uncertainties? Let me clear some of the doubts and may these give you some knowledge and ideas that you can use when you want to test different game. But if you are aiming fish (example: giant snakehead, snakehead types, barramundi, lady fish, and other type of aggressive fish) for more challenging area like weeds and structure then you may desire to use Bass fishing rod as this rod is more solid, include good strength and stronger than any ultralight pole that will allow/assist you to pull the fish from their area. Another advantage is it will allow you to moulded higher lure weight normally up to 7g.
Example Largemouth bass Type Rod: Kanicen Nix - Leebass, Kanicen Nix - Sailang, Abu Garcia - Bass Beat 2, Nemesis, Discovery, Solpara, many others available in the market.
Is it wrong to use other type of rod for these fish? No it’s not wrong. No one will put you in jail. It’s your choice and decision of course. Just make sure you follow same rule of thumb 6lbs for ultralight.
Personally, Least expensive you to try all these game properly and get the idea behind it. If you look to have fun with more then I would suggest you to balance and match that to get the most out of it mainly because different game give diverse pleasure.
Rookies will never spend time to read. They just whack anything for the sake of trying it. And this group of anglers normally will think that ultralight can do anything similar to other games. This is wrong. It might but not everything and will not have same concept just like medium or heavy video game. Ultralight is not intended for heavy game because it will not have strength to push/pull big fish out from heavy cover area. You can expect to break your line and worst case break the rod if the setup is not properly balance or handle.
