I've only been able to find ONE rod maker that uses high modulus graphite for their ultralight rods.
Anyone know why this is? Higher modulus = lighter, more sensitive

You can get a lot of rods that have a high carbon content that are cheap....but......those rods will break if you look at them hard. To get a good rod with high content that will hold up requires you to spend more money because to make those blanks cost more money. As to lightness of rods I have quite a few under 2 ounces....and some at the 1.7 ounce mark. Currently eyeing a rod that comes in at 1 ounce.

My Norsemen Outdoors ESP rods are 40ton High Modulus Graphite.
Cashion CRT I ain't sure these are available anymore.
Norsman ESP powerlite
Very good very thin braid on a good graohite rod will accomplish the same thing.

thin wall high graphite rods only last a short period of time unless you baby them , keep that in mind , if you really go hard at the fish with them they typically give up after a few thousand ,,,,,fyi
