Q:
In my quest for the perfect ultralight spinning rod, most of the ones I have found (Cabelas.com, basspro.com, dickssportinggoods.com) are more suited for beginners than experienced fishermen. Anyone know a good brand for ultralights? A particular model?

I have an uglystik lite an I love it. Has cork handle,strong(its an ugly),and very sensitive. Check it out,I'm sure you'll like it. I had mine for years and still the only one I use. Save your money don't buy over priced junk. Price dosent put fish in the boat!My reel on it is basspro mega cast.
I have two St.Croix ultralites (4.5 & 5'). Love them. Also i have a Flueger 5 footer rod/reel combo that was fairly cheap and works well.
i bought a gander mtn classic 5 foot im7 ultra light last year and put a little pflueger reel on it , its a great little rig for brook trout
St.Croix Rods. Shimano Reels. Stren Line. The most dependable durable combination that you could ever hope for. Good Luck.
look at temple fork and loomis. both have moved into spinning rods.
I have an Ugly Stick with a little pfluger on it. I love it.
Look at falcon rods they are American made i have a 6 foot ultralights they are around $70 but is the best rod i have ever used. use a shimano spinning reel and theirs nothin better
I have used a Falcon 6 ft. UL with a Mitchell 310 for several years. I use 4 and 6 lb test, depending on the water I am fishing. Shimano, Penn and Pfleuger all make good UL reels. I have used and still use a Pfleuger Purist 6.5 ft fly rod, 5 wt, with an open face reel and have had excellent results with bluegill, crappie and yellow perch. Hope this helps.
