Been looking at TFO offering a combination fly /spin 6'0 med flex rod was wondering if anyone has any experience with this combo rod, I've handled combination rods b4 but they didn't feel like a fly…Continue

I have used ultralights for years and I started out with the usual 5 footers. They work great and they surely have their place. However, the past year or so I have stepped up to rods measuring…Continue

What's a bateau ?
The rods that I fish UL on...
Luhr Jensen 7' UL rod with BPS TinyLite reel spooled with 4# low vis flouro
Eagle Claw pack rod (light fly/spin combo) with a Quantum snapshot 6# mono
Browning 5' 8" rod with BPS Extreme Tourney reel with 10# nanofil
(numerous other larger setups and a couple of fly rods not relevant here)
The Luhr Jensen is my primary and only true UL (though the Eagle Claws is a very light rod) though all 3 of those can cast some fairly light lures.
The pack rod is usually just for its intended purpose - taking along on a mostly not fishing trip where I may get a chance to fish.
The Browning has a little more backbone and it's what I use if I am casting/jigging in "snag city" or if I decide to take an occasional bass cast with a larger lure. It has the best reel of these 3.
Most of the time I am in my kayak with the Browning in the rear rod holder and the Luhr Jensen in my hands, lap or front rod holder.
Leo;; last 3 years I have been using a quantum- q-vex 10 reel;; super smooth;; 10 ball bearings;; NICE little reel;; reasonably priced I like it REAL GOOD!!!
I still have a old;; Daiwa- 1000 C spinning reel ;; need to get it fixed;; I wore the bail out on it;; LOL!! great little reel for panfish!!
Love the old Daiwa. Just got two from a friend, and they were made like a freaking tank, with 2 of 6 bearings in the Jupiter Z series.
Here's the lowdown Carl: Top to bottom : Ugly Stick/Daiwa Sweepfire 1000B,4# test ; Four Piece Eagle Claw /Penn 101 ,6#test; Ugly Stick, Daiwa Spinmatic 500 T ,4# test ; Saint Croix rod , Pflueger Supreme, 4# test ; Shimano Sensilite ,Pflueger President ,2# test
those are some good rods John;; what kind of reels are those
Nice find Doug!
