Jack Jones Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 I'm looking to buy an ultralight rod/reel that would be used with 2lb, maybe 4lb test. Lures would likely be 1/8th and under. Are there any out there that are reasonably priced and that would cast such light lures a decent distance? I put this under bass, but I'd likely be using it to target panfish, google eye, etc....

Wayne SW/MO Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Jack for other than trout I think a light with a fast or extra fast tip would work well. Something like the St Croix PFS60ULF or the Falcon FES-U-16 would work well. In my experience the normal ultra light rods in 5'6" or shorter range will handicap you on distance and accuracy. Reels with a small diameter spool are another handicap if you intend to throw the light stuff.. You can either bump up a notch in size or look for something like the Johnny Morris reel that has a larger diameter spool than average. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
