Rated 5 out of 5 by Troutfish68 Unbelievable !!
I have purchased 5 of these Micro Lite Rods over the past several years from 7' to 8 1/2'. They are the most incredible lite action rods for Trout I have ever used. If you like ultra-lite rods, you can't beat these. Three days ago I hauled in a 6pound 5once Rainbow Trout with my 71/2 foot rod with ease. You can't go wrong !!

this is the third micro lite rod i have owned and i use them for bream, crappie and trout. not much more fun that you can have than hooking a good hand-sized bluegill on one of these rods. i would highly recommend these rods to anyone who likes to match the equipment with the game.

I purchased two of these rods after having been disappointed with rods I paid twice as much for and reading the reviews. When I first received the rods they appeared to be inferior. However, after using them a minimum of three days a week for four weeks I was impressed with their durability and feel and that is what matters to me. I highly recommend these rods.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ArthurG Favorite UL rod
After reading all of the reviews I decided to purchase the 6' model. I am not disappointed. I am particularly pleased with the softer action and the guide set. Most UL rods available today are far too stiff for light lines and light lures. Many if not most of the UL rods available have guides that are too small to acheive good casting distance. The two complaints that kept showing up I handled this way. Many reviewers complained about not having a hook keeper. I have been using the frame on the first guide as a hook keeper and it works fine. The other complaint was the the reel would come loose during use. I did find that the lock ring would come loose during use. I put a couple drops of low strength thread locker on the threads and that solved that problem. This is an excellent rod for the money. It is well thought out and very well made.

A:
In short I believe that graphite rods are more resistant, accept more mistakes for newbies to not be as crisp and are a lot more light.
A:
Glass is heavier, more uniform flex throughout the rod...Graphite is lighter and affords the builder greater control of flex/speed/weight. Graphite stores more energy in desired places on the blank. much better performance....Details:

The rod has two pieces on the cork handle to hold the reel, but the two pieces just slide up and down the cork handle. There aren't any threads on the cork handle or on the two pieces which hold the reel.Answers
A:
The slip ring type of reel seat is not my favorite. You probably need to purchase rod handle tape that is made to compensate for such difficulties.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
That's called a Tennessee handle. You tape the rings in place once you find where on the handle you want to place the reel. This rod features Tennessee handle and conventional screw lock handles. The screw lock, contoured cork handles are some of the best out there for UL, L and ML rods. Hope this helps.Details:

the action on these rods say that they are FAST action, so that means that they should be a stiff rod, cuz i no that their is (moderate action) being the flimbsiest rod, then their is (moderate fast) being more stiffer than moderate, then their is (FAST action) wich is the stiffest rod, so can someone pleas help me if they know anything about the stiffness in these rods especially in the 4ft and 4ft6 rods?Answers
A:
the 4-6 has some backbone. I cast a 1/8 oz hula popper and can land a 3-4 lb bass easy. big trout too.A:
I just purchased the 4' 6" version and it is fairly stiff for an ultra light. It has a good deal of backbone/
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Yes they are pretty stiff. Very fast tip with plenty of backbone in the lower 2/3rds of the rod. The longer versions of the rod have a little bit more give in the middle, but still have a lot of backbone and are still an excellent combo of sensitivity, strengh and soft but fast tip. They can cast a 1/32nd oz jig out of site. You'll be happy with these rods!

A:
These are all pretty stiff no matter what rod you get. They are all really versatile.
