Reply With QuoteThanks for sharing DB, will definitely pick up one of those rods. $50 is a great price. I have 2 St croix UL rods that I love, but they are more expensive.

Best Ultralight Rod
I wanted to ask the question and share my experience. I'm a little rogue in using spincast reels instead of the more common spinning and have always struggled to find a good, sensitive, ultralight rod. 95 percent of the market is heaver rods for bass fishing. I've tried many, but by far the best is the Okuma SST Kokanee Graphite Rods in 7 1/2 foot. There under $50 at Amazon and are amazing. I typically fish 1/32 oz jigs on 4 pound line in water as deep as 15 feet for Crappie and gills. I can feel the soft thump of a fish picking up my jig and tell the difference between hitting brush vs a fish. Where I probably notice it the most is the soft pickup of a Sheelcracker in deep water. Sheelcracker will pick up a jig off the bottom, if you don't recognize it, when you take the slack out of your line they will drop it without you ever knowing. The ability to feel that pickup (much like fishing a plastic worm) allows a hook set.

Well I was using field and stream inferno rods but they quite making them. I like the 5'6 lighting rods but there around $50. They make some great rods if you want to spend a lot of money. I'm looking forward to see what everyone uses because I'm going to have to replace a few soon

You guys have some really nice ultralight rods. For a “cheap” decent rod, try Lew’s Wally Marshall Speed Shooter. For the money, it works quite well for ultralight casting.
