I recently started using specialized baitcast gear for my finesse bass fishing. I fell in love using baitcast gear for finesse techniques! I just acquired my first ultralight baitcast rod for panfish trout. I bought the Major Craft Fine Tail 54UL baitcast rod. I will be pairing it with my Daiwa SS Air and 4 lbs subline sniper. I will update when it comes in for sure. First trout trip with it is planned for end of July. Anyone else using ultralight baitcast stuff?

At about $500 for the rig you mentioned plus the cautions Daiwa imposed on the reel you can be sure I will not be trying it. I felt guilty when I paid $80.00 for a Daiwa Goldcast outfit with an Agility trout rod.
I hope you enjoy your new outfit. Finesse fishing is fun regardless of the rig used. Let us know how it works out.

210 amateur angler used to be a frequent poster here and on some of the other boards. He got deep into fishing ultra light baitcast gear. I remember he really took a shine to the Diawa Pixy baitcaster. I'd do a search for his handle and/or try to pm him. It was all one word if I remember correctly.

Why do you think it is more fun than UL spinning gear? I'm glad you enjoy it, but am just curious as to why.

That's a cool looking trout, where did you catch it?
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

For me it is just something about being able to use a baitcaster for super light lures/baits. It offers the advantages of instant lure control on cast, more accuracy, and a high speed gear ratio to boot.

That's a cool looking trout, where did you catch it? We were fishing the little red river in Arkansas.
