Bass2124 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Looking for a one piece ultra light/light rod under $100 in the 5'6"-6'. I read a lot about light tackle/small baits and the success and enjoyment of it and tried it this past summer and had some fun with it using a $25 ultralight spinning combo. I think I want to upgrade with a better rod and match it up with a 500/1000 size reel. Any suggestions? Quote
I.rar Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Older model Daiwa procyon with the Fuji components from fleabay would be my pick. I have mine paired with a Sahara 1000 and it's a blast to fish. Quote
Evan K Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I have a St Croix Premier 6' UL rod. I like it as well as my other Premier rods, except that it is rated fast but has almost a slow action. Super whippy. It can be good or bad depending what you're fishing for. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted January 11, 2016 Super User Posted January 11, 2016 I used to use the 6' Quantum Tenton Trout rod. Not overly expensive, but it was a nice little rod. It got me through my college years living close to a lake with a stunted bass population. It was very whippy, but I'd fish 4" rubber worms on it and managed to hook plenty of fish. Quote
blckshirt98 Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I've caught a bunch of trout on my Shimano Sojourn UL rods (4'6" 1-piece and 5'0" 2-piece) and they only run $30-35. It looks like the 1-piece is discontinued but they still make the 2 piece. Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 12, 2016 Super User Posted January 12, 2016 B n' M offers a nice line-up of UL rods, well under your price limit. Match that with a 2920 Pflueger President (about $50.00) and it doesn't get much better. JMO! 1 Quote
Ads7633 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 St. Croix, both premier or triumph would be around your price range. They make fantastic rods and I like their ultralights more than their bigger rods. Lifetime warranty, you can't go wrong. Quote
