I have had the itch for a new rod, and wanted to find an ultralight. There's a lot to choose from but I have no need to spend large money for the rod. Made a trip to BPS today and handled what few they had in stock. None of the $100 and over in UL as they are in Daytona and lean more toward the salt water stuff. Browning, BPS micro lite, and a few others but found nothing in a UL that I could see me fishing with. What I did decide on is a 5'6" light action Lightning Rod, a 2 piece. Hung a president 6920 on it and really liked the balance and feel of it. Fit the budget too. Now comes the frustrating part, line. They didn't carry and most of the sales staff had never heard of Nanofil. All I could do was look to the sky and ask for patience. They also knew zip about the different braids. Thank God I had read up on it some and got a spool of Power Pro Slick in 2lb size, hi vis and plan on using the 4lb clear stren for a leader for now. I think I have overfilled the spool and will probably have to take some off tomorrow when I get on the water. I'll post my results from tomorrows trip, I'm REALLY looking forward to this......Skeet
