Tiny reel I will give you that, but the rod makes no sense.
Who ever modified it with the cork, not getting the two finger and grip and then a fighting butt. If you wanted cork on it a nice sleek smaller cork handle is available.

Yea i added the cork handle and the cork butt end,here is another pole with a bit larger cork handle and 3 Tiger Oscars including an Albino Oscar!!!
The orange line in pic 2 is 2wt

I just don't get why so short on the holding cork. In the video you are holding the rod with last two fingers on the cork. Why not put a cork handle to support your whole hand.
Here is a "0" weight rod.

Preety sweet i just watched the video,the 0 weight rod looks like a lot of fun plus i bet you can fish with it all day!
The cork by the way i kept it short so it wouldn't cover the label on the rod[frown]

caught a bunch of small ones,some are hybrids which mixed with other species of peacocks released by aquarium enthusiast, nearby homeowners stocked this lake so its like fishing in a fish tank lol

Few clips from other places towards the end plus some a little bigger maybe up to 2lb.Later I noticed i was using
1 wt fly line ordered by accident i think u see it at 6:00.Only noticed later when comparing the line to the 2wt

Just saw that youtube vid. Man that was painful to watch. AK took 4 minutes to land that fish. I'd practice with an ultralight fly rod just a bit so not to be clueless how to land a medium size trout with one before filming and posting it online. Ouch my head still hurts after seeing that. Plays into all the stereotypes why not to use ultralight gear. He should stick with tying and taking credit for other people's flies.

I guess I am clueless as well. O wt in that current?
You have had practice with that weight so I guess you would know.

It looks like he jumped from a 6 wt to 0 wt without any experience with anything in between. The lightest I own is a 1 wt because there is no accepted standards for the 0, 00, and 000 wt rods and lines. Most truly fall in the range for 1 wt by the accepted standards anyways. More just a marketing gimmick than anything else (nothing is bought, everything is sold). Bill Byrd had a nice discussion and testing of some of this but I think his website has been down for a few months. With just a touch of practice it isn't really more challenging to land a fish that size with that 1 wt than a 3 or 4 wt. Sure to land a truly big fish quickly takes quite a bit more practice. But that was a medium size trout in a small river with medium current.

Nearly spooled on the mini FS free spool fly reel []
This reel has a lever which I never seen before on a fly reel.
Also,I believe the lever goes in the back since its a right hand retrieve but since I'm lefty its facing forward instead of backwards[cool] Edit: 1wt floating fly line and 1 lb Nanofil leader
