My Ultimate SUL

Not a spinning combo , not BFS .
It’s my Ultimate UL gill catching combo .
A 5’9”, One weight Redington Butterstick fiberglass flyrod paired with a Redington Zero fly reel , loaded with a 3wt weight forward line .
Weighing in at 145.26g for the complete combo including line , leader , and tungsten bead streamer . A mere 5.12 ounces .
That’s less than most ultralight spinning reels .
I need to check my 6’ St Croix Imperial fly rod with a Zero fly reel . It may be under 5 ounces being mostly graphite.

I plan on taking the Butterstick out tomorrow for a short forty five minute fishing trip while my wife has PT .

Such a super light wand that will bend into the handle with a five inch gill .
Hopefully pics tomorrow.

Truly a little rod. Must be fun with about any fish. I’d like to set up a GoPro and see you catch a 10” largemouth on that rig. Hope you have fun with it. You’d have a blast in the south Florida canals with the cichlids and Oscar’s that live there.

That sounds like a terrific outfit, gill. They will all feel like monsters on that outfit!

Sounds like an awesome light weight fly rig

Got to spend around thirty minutes this morning tossing a streamer and then a spider .
Caught nine . Most were small.
First fish was the best . And the other little guy was most colorful.

Nice. I'd hook my ear trying to cast a fly rod.

I heard my tungsten beaded streamer whizz by my ear once this morning. Got my attention . :)
The shorter fly rods are a little more difficult casting with weighted flies .

Those got the colors, don’t they? Glad it worked out and you didn’t have to go get a needle sharp hook pulled out.
