I picked up a 6'6" Shakespeare Micro w/light action and gave it a shake. Felt much better than a lot of the other rods that I've looked at, and a ton better, to me, than any of the ultra light rods found lately. Long story short, I put one of the reels on it tonight when I got home, and spooled it with 100yds of Vicious 2lb and tied on a 4lb leader. Still looking for the right UL, but I'm looking forward to trying this one soon. I think it's really going to shine, casts a 1/80 pretty well in the backyard.

Found a micro series light action rod for 9 dollars and change . it is my float/fly set up for bream .

I had two Abu vendetta's in the 6' and 6'9" light version and really liked them, they both got broke in kids tourney I helped with a couple of years ago. I replaced them both with vigalante's and like them as well as the vendetta's. BUT what I really like is my 7' medium light Fenwick Eagle with a moderate tip, that has become my go to rod with a pfluegar trion reel. Man, that is the best rod I have ever fished with. I have some more on order, another just like the first one, and a 6' light with moderate tip. The first thing that amazed me was the casting accuracy with 4 pound test mono. Some might say that the rod doesn't make that much difference in accuracy, but believe me it does. I have a micro light, a lightning rod, and the two vigalante's, and I can't do near the stuff with them that I can with the Eagle. I am pretty sure I will being going all Fenwick soon on my pan fish. I am going to get one for another worm rod for bass and see how it is also. Just my thoughts, but I really like the Eagle's. Also, I caught a 6 pound catfish today with the Eagle, had to play him a little, but got him in.

later...don

I had a 4'6" fenwick that went for a swim with the help of a friend and just never replaced it. I have enough short rods but look for the longer options. Haven't gotten to a fenwick dealer yet but they are also on my list.

Biggest test of my Shakespeare micro so far. Handled like a champ but I was easy on her cause I would've swore it was a 3-4 pound bass

I found a vigilante 5.6 at my local WM. It was 36.00 and my granddaughter was with me and guess what she claimed it. How could I say no, it really made her happy. I liked the feel of it really well and will get another for me. Oh she said I could use hers when she's not with me.
