Redhed Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Hey all, I am getting tired of stealing my dads finesse rod so I want to ad an ultralight to my arsenal, what do you all recommend? for pond fishing. funny you should ask. i wanted the same thing bc i broke my other pond rod. i dont spend much on pond rods but i dont go ultra cheap either. i went to wal-mart (something i dont do often) and found a reel from abu garcia called the cardinal (spinning rod) for 35bucks (the smallest reel garcia had there) with 5 ball bearings. i then saw a matching rod for 35 bucks still a garcia cardinal in medium light action... i cant tell you for 70bucks how pleased i am with the rod and the reel. she tosses weightless worms with ultimate ease. i use 6lb yozuri hybrid on it. it is a medium light action so setting a hook in a pretty large bass will take an extra oomph in your swing set but for those picky fish it works great. i use it for all small baits and weightless plastics. if you just want to bass fish with it then get a medium in 6'6" not a medium light. mine is an all purpose rod.

NateFollmer Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 http://www.cabelas.com/p-0066932124203a.shtml I love the Diawa Crossfire combo from Cabelas. I use it mainly for trout, but it gets in the river sometimes too. Quote
endless Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Bass Pro Shop will have their Micro Lite Elite spinning for 39.94. I almost bought it for Valentine's day but didn't. Well I will this time! The reel seemed very smooth and post to be 8 bearings. The pole is a one piece. I think I was looking at the 4'10 or something like that. Quote
