Reply With QuoteYeah... and fishing with a float, sensitivity shouldn't be an issue anyway. I suppose hopping a tiny jig on the bottom of 25 ft. of water sensitivity would come into play.Originally Posted by dbowling

Ah didn't realize that's what you're paying for with a more expensive rod.

Yes,that and lightness,but they are just as fragile as a cheap rod, and you'll be crying more when you break 300$ rod as opposed to a 25$ rod.

I was curious about that too. If they were stronger or more rugged. But if they break just as easy I'll stick with a cheapy!

The most I ever spent for rods was fifty bucks, of course those broke too,now I just buy the 6'6 Shakespeare micro series.

Most I've spent was $80 for a Lews American Hero baitcaster combo. I use it for bass but I've caught quite a few crappie on it!! Its so much lighter than my 2 Diawa combos.
But yeah $25 is about as much as I want to spend on an UL.

If you got Amazon prime you can get a 6'6 Shakespeare micro series rod for $22.53... I love them.

on the Shakespeare micro series rods, I have several in different lengths and ratings. Wally's don't stock all of them and I special ordered some 7.6" ultralights rated 2 - 6 lb.

I have owned all sizes of the Shakespeare micro series rods but the 7’6”. The best I found, for the way I fish, is the 6’ and 6’6” for casting. I shoot docks with them, pitch jig and float, and pitch jigs, all very well. I use the 7’ , I have two, for trolling and find the a little ungainly for close quarters. I also am not gentle with them and have not broken any of them on fish, only on abuse. I have broken every cherrywood I ever owned. A 6’ micro and a 1000 series Quantum Optix would be a great combo for under $40 with the 6’6” rod coming in a close second. 4lb line and you’ll cast a 1/32 jig farther than you ever dreamed.
