I use the Shakesphere microlite line for my bluegill setups. I think the rods are only in the $25ish range so pretty cheap, but I like em so far. I have a 7ft ultralight that is kinda whippy and a 5'6" light thats not very whippy at all. I havent done much casting things like beetle spins yet but I want to start to more this year. I figure the 5'6" light would cast those pretty good, I can sling a 1/16 oz jig a decent distance with it.
