I fish with light action rods, but use 2 lb. mono on them. Last week my old bass fishing habits crept back in (first time fishing this year) and I broke off the first two trout magnets with a hook set. I feel horrible that two big bluegill had to swim around with those in their mouth and hope they don't suffer long term. After that, no problem, I just reeled up and fish on. No real need to set a fine wire hook, but sometimes I get too excited. I ordered an ultralight rod when I got home hoping to soften things up a little bit.

Good job Randy. I love reading your posts on this place you go. Many years past, I had a few places to go to catch fish like that. Those memories keep me looking for another spot like them, keep me coming back.

Love reading more and more about ultralight setups . Great pics and info Alphahawk!!

It is amazing how long U/L tackle and finesse techniques were overlooked. Even today, on some sites you take a look at an U/L thread or article and you have to smile.

You had those fish cornered for sure! Pretty ones!
