to get the bend in the tip i would want,i would need to find a 2 or 1 weight rod. The ones i have found are extremely expensive. So i'll stick with spinning rods for now

any of you guys ever think of taking a fly rod blank and then putting the cork handle kit that they use for spinning reels and then putting that on the fly rod blank?? I think tht would make an awsome ultra light rod, say a 7'6" 3 weight fly rod or somethihng like that....

I had one of the Quantum Micro's. Was telling the son about them the other day. Funny see them mentioned here. I had the little 4' or 4'6" with the little underspin. Come to think of it I could use one of those underspins.<br />
Anyway. My current favorite UL setup is a St Croix. Triumph 5' and a Shimano Symetre 750. Love it.

I have been a big fan of Jim Gronauer's articles in Infisherman about ultra lights. Not wanting to spend mega bucks for a custom rod like his 2 wt flyrod blank, I searched for a commercial rod that fit my needs. I found that the Bass Pro Shops Wally Marshall Mighty Lites WMM80-2UL, which is an 8foot IM6 graphite rod good for 1/64th oz. to 1/4 oz. is great. The key was using 2 lb. Fireline, it is so strong, yet like a spider web. I use it on a small Quantum 10 Snapshot reel. You should use a…

Good luckj with your quest. I do find this rod harder to fish in a kayak, but it's so much fun.

I also am constantly in search of a better, lighter, gill rod.<br />
so far the best I have found is the 5' shimano convergence UL rod.<br />

best action I have yet to find.

The micro lights I first saw with Quantum name on, were fiberglass and buggy whips. Then they came out with IM6 versions, then other names began to appear on the blanks. My two say Browning, but I believe them to be same blanks. Have 5',6',and 7' lengths here. The BPS micro-lights I think are the latest re-incarnation. steve b

I like my old Quantum Microlite rod and the tip broken a long time ago. Lot of fun on 2 lbs test line and small lures! I suggest that you can check out Bass Pro Shop Micro lite rods. BPS have 4 ft 6" and 5 ft Micro Lite rods for $45! I use BPS 7 ft 6" UL Micro Lite rod and I like it very much! I just bought a St. Croix 7 ft Ultralight rod recently and It feel real good. I can not wait to try it very soon!<br />

Yeah Walt, I bought mine about 14 -15 years ago, I think from Walmart. My then 13 year old some broke it in just fine with a 3 lb Channel Catfish! That little rod can be seen in action by that same son of mine (Corey) 15 years later at Lake Barrett, CA. while he battles some very large Bluegills by clicking on the above attachments. I gotta find one of those rods!
