ULTRALIGHT FISHING - IS THIS A PERFECT COMBO? Revros + Presso 

Thank you for watching! It’s a fun combo!

I’m really liking it, so far!

Thanks so much, Cody! I’m loving it so far.

Thank you, Domingo!

Thanks so much, Joe!

Thank you, brother! I really appreciate that.

Thanks, Ron! I know… the one problem with fishing is all the cool gear!😁👍🐟

Yessir! It’s music to my ears.👍🐟 Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

It blew my mind! Had to be careful fishing the creek to keep from casting out into the trees on the other bank.😂

Yes, the 2lb has some drawbacks. The sensitivity and casting is amazing, but if you accidentally hook a big bass, very hard to land if there is any brush to hang up on. I have been using 4lb on my reels more lately. In the Fall, when fishing for crappie from a boat, the 2lb does well. I’ve been wondering what 10lb braid would fish like? Have you ever tried braid? I haven’t.

The only braid I have is 50lb test on my medium heavy Pflueger Monarch baitcaster combo. For my ultralights, I have 6lb and 4lb mono SOS line from trout magnet. Their mono line is strong, but it is prone to line twist. Maybe you should do a video with light braid tied to a fluoro leader on your new ultralight?

That’s a good idea! I haven’t tried SOS line yet. I usually use Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon 2lb or 4lb on my reels. I like it a lot. I may pick a spool of braid up and test it out.

Thanks, Stacee! I know, right? That’s the problem with fishing… too much cool stuff to buy.😄👍🐟

Thanks, Mike!

Will do, Jim! Thank you for watching!

I really like it!

Thanks, brother. I think you’re right… always room for one more! These Pressos are incredible. I’m definitely going to pick another one up in a different length.

Haha! That 2lb line makes all the difference. Like casting thread!

@@pistolcreek How was it throwing the trout magnet with the 6lb braid? I seen people saying it’s about the same which is ridiculous if that’s true! 👌

@jake_6.2 I have never fished braid before, but have heard the same thing. I think the 6lb braid is close to the 2 or 4lb mono in diameter, but don’t quote me on that. Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you

Thank you so much 😀

Haha! Thank you. How do you like the Legalis? I have looked at those and thought about buying one. I’m betting they are excellent like the other Daiwa reels?

@@pistolcreek I enjoy the Daiwa Legalis LT. I have two one that is a 2000 size and one that is a 2500 size. Both are great on the water. I use braid with a fluorocarbon leaders.

Seems like you can’t go wrong with a Daiwa!

Haha! You’d like it for tossing those Trout Magnets around.

Shimano is great, too! I really like some of the Shimano reels.

You might try using a lighter fishing line with this combo. Something 6lb test or under. Another thing that helps keep your line from tangling on a spinning reel, is flipping the bell with your hand after each cast instead of flipping it with the handle. Hope this helps.

Yes! The rod that came with the Revros is nice. I bought it for panfishing, but like you, decided it was better for tossing small crank baits and spinners. The Presso is very nice for panfish, though. I have never tried braid. Is it difficult to get used to?

I like braid and fluorocarbon, but really the only reason I use braid for panfish is the smaller diameter. Braid is not hard to get used to on spinning setups in my opinion.

The diameter is what interests me about it. Thanks for the information, friend!

I have the Daiwa Revros LT 1000 on my Presso rods and a Daiwa Regal LT 1000 on my Bass Pro Micro Lite

Thanks, I really appreciate you responding! You be safe, look forward to future content.

@robertwall5626 Thanks, Robert!

I just looked those up. Wow! They look really nice. How does it perform? Is it a smooth reel?

yes they have a nice drag I have caught some very nice bluegill with it.@@pistolcreek

You’ve convinced me to check them out! Thank you for sharing. Time to order another Presso.😄👍🐟

The Presso 5’6 and Daiwa Revros 1000 is a fantastic setup for that use. Another great rod in this same size is the Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite Graphite 5’6. If you are looking to pick a nice starter Ultralight combo up, I’d consider the Shimano Sienna combo. Walmart and a few other stores carry the combo for around $52 or so. Great little Ultralight setup for the price. Any of these will be really enjoyable for urban creek or pond fishing. Depending on the size of the fish you are targeting, using either 2 or 4 lb test line will be a difference maker, as the thinner line allows you to cast small lures farther and provides more sensitivity. All that said… if you do decide on the Daiwa combo, I think you will love it. So nice!

@@pistolcreek Unfortunately I live in the UK and there is no Walmart or BassPro shops here, Fortunately Im off to Mississippi soon and landing near a BassPro. Hopefully i can do a bit of fishing there with my grandfather-in-law.

@andrewwillis9759 Good luck! Check Amazon if you have access to that. They sell the Daiwa rod and reels, for sure.

Those are great buys! I have a QZ-750, too. It’s a nice little reel for something so tiny. The folding handle with the cork knob is a nice feature. That thin diameter braid should work out nicely. Thanks for watching!

@@pistolcreek For sure, definitely going to need something thin. I use sufix 832, its thin strong and true to its diameter according to tests from the line laboratory also the ghost-white color it comes in is absolutely my favorite I can see it perfectly above the water and it seems to nearly disappear under water. Really cant decide 6lb or 8lb 832 though. I live in Colorado so I definitely want to use some trout magnets in moving streams and pressured ponds. I also want to try to throw some z-man micro finesse jigheads/baits, in good sized DEEP lakes, on this setup for some smallmouth and walleye too, probably the 1/20oz jigheads. What do you think 6lb or 8lb? Regular berkley vanish for leader so what # of leader do you think will match?

@@Bovined. The only thing I’m sure about is that the thinner the line, the better when it comes to casting light lures like the Trout Magnet. That said, I imagine the size of the fish you are fighting, water current, and underwater hazards like sharp rocks might be determining factors on exactly what break strength you can get away with. I almost always fish 2lb test because I target panfish like crappie and bluegill. But… I will say that the Trout SOS 2lb is CRAZY strong. If you set your drag, you can land some very large fish with it. I’m not very knowledgeable in this area, but would suggest starting with the thinner lines you have and setting your drag to 30% or so of the lines rated break strength. Now braided line is a whole other animal, and one I have zero experience with. But, there are plenty of folks here on RU-vid to learn from if you are interested in it. As for leader material, I am still learning about it, myself. That ghost-white line sounds great.

@@pistolcreek Hey thanks for the input! I think I will go with the 6lb sufix 832, its the same diameter as the trout sos 2lb. I cant stand using anything other than braid as my main line because of memory/coiling reduced sensitivity etc. Once youve used the same crazy sensitive rod with all 3 types youll know what i mean. Not sure if it relates to spinning but thats what I've always done on baitcasting set ups for largemouth in Texas where I grew up. Good rod blank + Braid + Tungsten, you can feel everything!. I've never used something so ultralight and/or light in line so this will be an interesting comparison. Think Ill pick up 8lb berkley vanish $8 for 110yd for the leader. To tell ya the truth, I have basically no experience with most of the species up here in Colorado, theres little to no largemouth or crappie here, and back in Texas we dont have trout, yellow perch, walleye, kokanee or pike and smallmouth are extremely rare in texas. So Im kind of trying to figure out this light weight fishing myself haha, completely different from what Im used to. Im used to chocolate milk colored water and up here theres FEET of visibility, its crazy different.

The 6lb braid is nice, I was able to fit nearly the entire 150 yard spool all the way down to the plastic on the line package/spool, on the daiwa qz 750 which is good for it being such a small reel. was pretty windy today in elevenmile canyon but I was still able to work through very fast moving water and around large boulders. I think if there werent a million people there or if I had gone to a different stretch of river I wouldve slayed the trout on the trout magnet today, regardless was fun to cast it around with good accuracy and the rod felt so damn sensitive just reeling over a rock. No break offs even though i got wrapped around a few boulders in fast current.

I’ve never used the Exceler. It looks really nice. What’s the difference in weight between the Exceler 1000 and the Revros LT 1000? Is it significant? I just bought a Daiwa QZ-750 that is really light, but haven’t tried it yet.

@@pistolcreek its about thirty grams lighter and it really fits my hand(which is pretty small) and it balances out perfectly with the 5ft6 model. we dont have the qz here but man that reel is light !

@ccn5065 What area are you in, if you don’t mind me asking?

@@pistolcreek i'm actually in south east asia

I am using Trout SOS Copolymer 2lb test line, with no leader. Thank you for watching!

Actually, I just realized the line in that video was 4lb Mono Bass Pro Crappie Max line with no leader.

@@pistolcreek thank you! i was intrigued by the orange line!

@@EdtheTrashcan The color is called “Orange Camo”. It’s pretty solid line.

@@pistolcreek just found it on the cabela’s website! appreciate the response! just ordered the same rod and reel you used in the video so gonna have to set it up
