Ultralight Spinning Rod

TROUT FISHING ULTRALIGHT SPINNING ROD?

WHAT IS A GOOD TROUT FISHING ULTRALIGHT ROD THAT WOULD BE UNDER 30 BUCKS. THANKS. AND WHAT SIZE TO? IS 5 FOOT TO SHORT? I WAS THINKIN 6 FOOT MAYBE???

UglyStik has no place being next to the word ultralight.

They’re garbage unless you’re going to beat someone with it….then I can see it’s value. Forego those POS’s, and move on to something a LOT better.

For that price, you’re options are limited. The Okuma Celilo and the Daiwa Spinmatic are, in my opinion, the best two you can buy. I like the spinmatic SLIGHTLY better, but that’s just because it balances out better with my $350 Daiwa Presso 2004. Odd that I would match that reel up with a $30 rod, but the colors match and after I put SiC FUJI’s on there, it’s going to be ridiculously light-tipped.

Anyway, those two SHOULD BE your only considerations. The rest of the trout sized rods aren’t even close to the feel and responsiveness of the Okuma and Daiwa offerings.

I live for ultralight tackle for any and every species I target. I fish a 2-6lb 9ft 6in custom built GLoomis for trout….and a $27.99 Daiwa Spinmatic.

Until the day comes when I can justify spending $500 on a hardly used trout rod, that Spinmatic will be used in its place.
