Ultralight Spinning Rods For Trout Fishing

[gotmuddy]

I bought a 7' medium action pro qualifier rod for my jig fishing rod.

We were missing a budget. $30 Bass-Pro Micro Lites are hard to beat if money is an issue. 6'5" is my peferred jigging rod for 1/8 oz and 1/16 oz. If money were no option and you don't care get the Falcons.

Finally someone agrees with me!

Sadly, gentlemen, money is definitely an option. I still haven't found one that I like that fits the budget. Still looking.

I use an ultra light ulgy stick and I like it . But the cheap o micro spin UL shake spear spinning rod with the cork handle had tons more feel. With that and rod (it was a gift to me)you could feel a minnow sneeze near your bait. It broke on a snag . But hey it lasted 8 months and I got some bigger bass and trout on it and I abused it. I see it every time when I go to wall mart . Now it comes bigger spooled reel on it. For 19.99 you cant beat it if your on a budget. It was probably the the rod I caught the most fish on in my life. I have had a bunch of ultra lights in my day that one gets an A++++ for feel and a C for durability . I will most likely buy another as an extra rod . Fish on!!

I agree with BredMan that Phil at Lilleys landing has some very nice rods in 6' and 6.5' lengths at a fair price. Check with him.

Thanks for the heads up. Planning a trip to the Landing in the spring.

I use both...in the parks and rivers, I use a 7 foot UL rods. I find it really helps with casting and landing fish. On the small spring creeks, I use a 4.5 rod. I feel it helps me keep the casts low in the heavy overhang.

Gentlemen:

Thanks for the advice. I would up with 6'6" UL rod and matching reel. Cabela's was nice enough to keep the cost down with a sale. It's strung with 4# fluorocarbon and does a nice job of getting the light stuff out into the lake or stream. I plan on using this quite a bit past trout season. It'll make a good rod for crappie as well.

Flurocarbon has no give for jig fishing, I've tried it so if you plane on fishing jigs other than jig n float you will need mono. I use flurocarbon 2lb as leader material but I use green mono on the spinning reel.
