Ultralight Spinning Rods

nothing less than 6 ft. prefer 6'6''or 7' . I use Okuma and Browning "air stream" bought 2 airstream from this site . Guy was going to st croix models . No doubt they are awesome but I sure like his used stuff at half the price . MAINLY USE 4 LB. TEST .

No Browning rods like you mention on ebay right now. I'm an old guy and I prefer a solid cork grip like the old days.

In that case, you might just want to go with the Avid or a Loomis.

I don't see any JDM rods on ebay.

I've got a 7ft Avid UL, it's a great rod for Bluegill, should work good with 2# I've never used that but it will cast 1/16oz a long ways on 4#.

The Avid is what I'm going with. I normally use 4#, lots of bass in my fishing hole and they will grab a tiny lure in a second. I do want to try out the 2# also.

FWIW, I had the 6' Avid UL and loved it. I sold it (and kind of regret that) because I just had too many nice UL rods.

I much preferred the action of the six-footer to the longer Avids. YMMV.

I have a 5' and a 6' Avid in UL . They are great rods . I've mainly fished them with 4# .
Since lately , I've been throwing 1/64 Trout Magnets almost exclusively on 2#, for distance , I'll have to give the Avids a try with 2# and the TM's .
I've found a fast action rod casts farther than a moderate. Although the Avids are labeled as fast , they seem more of a moderate fast after using some of the Daiwa UL rods lately .
The Panfish and Trout series seem more a true fast action also .
Would definitely recommend the six footer also . Gillchaser

At one time, I had seventy rods. I'm down to thirty-one now and still plan on selling a few. ;)

Interesting. Seeing as you have an unlimited budget, most of the suggestions here already are quite valid. However, where the rubber hits the road, I find it difficult to surpass the B n' M lineup of rods; especially the 7' Sam Heaton's Super Sensitive (SHSS). It will do anything you want and they handle 2# test mono or braid effortlessly. Retailing for around the $50.00 mark too. JMO. :)
