Yes, you can cast a one gram lure using baitcasting gear. There are a number of reels designed to cast ultralight lures. This one is the Flight Feather Kingfisher BFS Reel on an Magic L Handing Rod casting a one gram Trout Magnet with no modifications. Just be sure to educate your thumb!
Decided to run down the road to the local pond (Bethany Lakes) and see what was biting. Brought the KastKing Zephyr BFS Reel and Ultralight Lures and left the fly rod at home. Plan was to fish Roostertails but switched to a Mepps Inline Spinner since the Trout seemed to be interested in them – specifically, a copper bladed Mepps Inline Spinner. Trout were following the spinner but not striking which was promising given they ignored gold, silver, and black.
For fun and games, fished only the copper bladed Mepps Inline Spinner to see how many fish I could catch. Worked the banks of two of the four ponds at Bethany Lakes… “Main Pond” and “Back Pond”. Caught a number of fish – Bass and Bluegill.
Check out the video, and do guess how many I caught…?
