Daiwa Presso Rod
Does anyone have any experience with Daiwa Presso rods? I'm thinking about getting an eight footer as my first ultralight. I'm thinking to pair it with a Pflueger President spooled with Seagur's new braid, Smackdown. The 10lb test is only .005 diameter. Any thoughts or suggestions?

sounds like a great setup... i own pflueger reels and also own daiwa spinmatic rods...series just a notch under the models you selected. im very happy with them. my favorite length UL rod though is a 5-5 UL. that length rod is probably around the most popular length for UL selection for bluegilling.... what made you decide to go 8ft? i use my 8ft daiwa spinmatic for tossing slip bobbers or fixed bobbers.
i just read the reviews on the smackdown line... sounds awesome. 10lb test at a 2lb test mono equivalent is amazing.
hope you have great luck with your new gear.
