Slow morning at the pond

I got to spend a little more than an hour and half this morning at the town pond .
I think the fish took Sunday off .
I’d fished a variety of Trout magnets and Bobby garland baits for about an hour before I caught a small bluegill .
That was after I switched over to my drop shop rig with a Bobby Garland Itty Bitty swimmer .
Wound up catching four .
I had competition today , two families and a bass fisherman. Nobody was tearing them . And one family was using live bait .
Combo today was a 5’ Rosewood UL paired with my old Shimano Stradic 1000 spooled with 4# Mist green P-line .

Nice fish, gill. That is a sweet U/L setup you have there.

Thanks Bob , I enjoy fishing with the little Rosewood UL rod .
I own rods costing four or five times than these do , but right now they’re gathering dust .
Fun little rods for just over $30 .
I’ve got two of the 5’ UL spinning rods and a 5’ UL baitcasting rod , I use for BFS .
I’m waiting for a 5’6” UL spinning rod to show up any day now . It was only $4 more .
It takes 4-7 weeks to get them , but are worth the wait IMO .
I wouldn’t be surprised if the same people aren’t making some of the JDM rods for other companies.

Nice fish. Nice little combo as well

Sometimes them fish just don't want to cooperate! We can always look forward to that next trip out.

Good fish and a rod I’d like to try. Like I need another.

With me ,it always +1 . LOL !
I can’t help it .
If you like a short 5’ ultralight rod . It’s a bargain IMO .
It doesn’t have a hook holder , but I can remember when rods didn’t come with them . Doesn’t bother me .
It has a solid , fast tip . Oh and it’s a two piece with spigot ferrules . Feels like a one piece .
It’s just fun to fish with .
Usually after a week , I’m on to something else , but I’ve been playing with these for awhile now . Keep going back to them .

Very nice
