The only rods I can remember were the old Mitchell Zero Gravity rods. They came out in the 90's, I believe, and sold for around $50. A similar but cheaper option was the Quantum Xtralite series. They also came out in the early to mid 90's.

I'm not saying either of these were the same quality or action of a Japanese XUL or SUL, but both were attempts to make UL rods lighter than anything else on the US market.
