have any of you tried the 6'6 or the 7' ultra light or light rod for casting light jigs?.. got a shimano sahara 1000 for Christmas and and would like to match with a light good action rod for throwing 4 lb test a small pear bobber and fish stalker slab tail on a 1/32 head for the upcoming shallow bite
I really like the Shimano Sahara 1000! I have three of them on 5'6" Wally Marshall Signature Series rods. Some have told me the Sahara is overkill for crappie, but I really enjoy the smoothness of the Sahara and I have had great service out of Shimano reels. I use them for casting & shooting w/4# Wally Marshall Hi-Vis line. The 5'-6" does a great job, but like you I am wanting to try the 6'6". I feel it may give a little more casting distance. I plan on purchasing one before spring myself. That should make a really nice set-up.
