I have a 7' B&M Wally Marshall Signature Series that is really sensitive and a great rod...but around $50. The Shakespear Micro Lites are not bad for $20. I have had the 4'6" and 7' and prefer the 7' but would like to try something in between, say a 6' or 6'6."

They make the Micro lite in a 4'6, 5'5 and a 7 footer. I have two of the 7 footers and they are great rods for the money. I have them paired with a couple of 500 series Mitchell Avocet reels I got on clearance from Academy. I spent only $50 for both setups.

Have a 7' Micro lite with the Avocet for a "guest rod". Easy to cast - will land big fish. Great combo for the money.

Okuma is good quality so that's good to know. I guess I always thought ultra light equaled shorter rods. I didnt know people had 7' rods for ultra light. Besides getting a farther reach while vertical jigging what are the advantages of a longer rod?

Longer casts and easier hook sets.

my favorite ultra is a 7 foot one pc. Tica they no longer make . I have a 6 footer just like it and love them dearly .
but it seems to me in many cases its about what do you want to spend and whats your objective with the lighter tackle .
I love a real strong arch on my rod and a fast tip and want to feel the fish . others want to really fight fish and go with softer set ups .
some go quite the opposite and want to wrangle them in .
my Berkley Cherrywood is stiffer by far than my Tica and so is my Shakespeare ,but I have other rods that are much softer than my Tica as well .
I have a duck commander BnM that's a wet noddle of an ultralite and a bream will wear you down on it .
