Today is my first time fishing with the Shimano ultralight budget fishing combo from Walmart. I am out in the boat with Victor from i_fish. Its a cold day today so we start out fishing at the warm water discharge near the power plant. I catch a variety of small to medium fish including bluegill and yellow bass. The budget ultralight combo is holding up so far, although it is a bit floppy for my liking. Stay tuned for part two where I get to put the cheap Shimano FX 1000 to the test with some larger fish. #realistic #fishing

Saw Alex do some proper twitching today! Slowly converting him to the Ultralight side : )
Nice day. No offense, but that guy sure does talk a lot. Yes, edit his thumbnails 😂
I almost bought a $13 Shimano reel a bunch of years ago to try out. Even the El cheapo Shimano reels were still better than the other cheap reels. I think they overbuilt them to get you hooked.
All those kids catching fish and sending them in to you is awesome. They always put a smile on my face.
Two pound line lasted all of 5 minutes for me today. Its no good in a rocky river.
I hope that the kid submissions are parentally monitored…
I have a shimano rod I bought from a consignment shop. It’s the best ! Still learning how to use it in different environments
Good video Alex 🤛
Ever since I got a Shakespeare ugly stik for Christmas one year I have never looked back I truly believe it's the best bang for your buck!
Wait, you’re fishing with i_fish, that’s awesome
That is a noodle of a rod for sure! But I have 2 of those reels and they work great for the price point.
Hope part 2 is better, love to see some white bass. 👍
I break these 30 dollar pricepoint ultralights pretty easy.
Great video Alex!
Ah love a good old fashioned cliffhanger, Alex!
I have been using Shimano FX rods and reels for years. I have 2 FX 4000 Reels that are about 29 years old. O have a FX ultra light setup for 5 years now. For the price you can't beat them.
I love ultralight fishing. 6# test line fighting bass and crappie it really makes it fun
I LOVE THE WAY THE SMALLER FISH MAKE THE ROD BEND AS IF YOU CAUGHT A MONSTER .
I love ultralight fishing. I keep saying I'll do a year challenge where all I use is an ultralight. However, some are super-floppy. I either use the Berkley Lightning 8' ultralight or a light power rod. There doesn't seem to be a lot of options out there for light power, though.
Good video, Alex. Might be telling my age but, who was drinking that RC Cola? I drank that a lot as a kid!
Great fishing session with the new ultralight setup! Cheers man!
Glad to see the collab with iFish, great video my brother! Thanks for keeping it realistic!!
Dude talks too much. I fish with my friend and we literally just enjoy the silence of fishing.
I was looking forward for this, every time this two get together the result is a very entertaining and informative video.
