With so many great ultralight fishing rods to choose from, both very expensive and inexpensive, what's your favorite rod? What do you fish with? I'm curious as to what other fishermen use.
I think mine is a Daiwa Spinmatic 401 ULFS. It's a short little rod that works out great while fishing from my float tube where long casts are not needed. Many times I am fishing straight down. I have this rod matched up with a Pflueger President reel and 2 lb test Maxima mono and have used it for a couple of years now. Although this rod is an inexpensive one (under $40), I have caught some very nice bass, catfish and big carp while out fishing for Bluegills and Redears. My non-fishing co- worker recently gave me his new Berkley Trout Dough 5 ft. rod. The bright green color is kind of wild, but it has a cool handle and feels pretty good, so I guess I'll be giving it a try.
