What equipment can be considered ultralight?
If you’re thinking of putting together an ultralight set, be on the lookout for some tips on what materials might belong in this lighter setup.
sticks
Rods commonly used in ultralight fishing can range from 2lb to 14lb and range in length from 4ft (1.20m) to 8ft (2.40m). I particularly like the 6’ft (1.83m) poles.
Reels or Reels
In ultralight fishing you will come across many more reels among anglers of this modality, not discarding the lighter reels, with better performance with small baits. However, these reels can cost a lot more than the useful ultralight reels, which vary between sizes 500 and 2000. In addition to giving you a more accurate cast, the reel will not form hairs, more common in reels.
lines
Fluorocarbon lines can be a good choice for your ultralight fishing, not discarding nylon, but fluorocarbon will give you greater efficiency in the hook by not having the elasticity existing in common nylon. The most suitable lines are from 0.25mm to 0.30mm.
baits
Speaking of baits for ultralight fishing, we can say that spinners lead the preference of anglers in this modality, followed by soft baits and plugs. Using baits of a maximum of 10g should be seen as an important point in the assembly of your ultralight set. Find here spinners , soft lures and mid-water plugs and surface plugs for your ultralight fishing. You can also use Jigs , especially when fishing for Bass and Corvinas.
