I feel the same way about Berkley Atomic Tubes, they are a tiny white tube that I bought for panfish, then I started catching everything. I have been hammering Large Mouth, Small Mouth, Pike, Perch, Catfish, all on these tiny tubes. I have people approaching me all the time because I’m pulling in Fish left and right. They’re great for lakes that are highly pressured with fishing, I wish I knew about them back when I was fishing local tournaments.

Brother, what a great easy to understand tutorial video that helps both new and old fishermen to fish simply and catch fish! It is also nice that it is affordable for everyone. Blessings, Rob

Hey Rob, thanks for the great feedback and kind words. That was my goal! Take care and have a great weekend!

I have been ultra light fishing since I was about 8 or 9 ill be 45 soon. I still use this similar set up. I use to use white or a chartreuse grub. One mourning me and my neighbor went in my small boat we tied to a old natural gas well and caught over 100 bass. They were so schooled to that spot that day.

Awesome man!!! I love that to this day this set up is pretty darn hard to beat. So many memories going to random places in a small boat as a kid trying to catch as many species as possible. Ultralight fishing is great

I just found your channel and interesting that I found this particular video right now. For some reason the bite has been slow for me this year. I fish a lot of creeks and even the tried and true trout magnets have been slow. This past weekend I swapped to a 1/32 ball jig and pack of 1ish in Yum curly tail grubs that have been sitting in my bag since last year unused and bluegill and redbreasts are hitting them. Best weekend I have had yet this season.
