Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on April 19, 2012 at 5:11am: Thanks for the welcome to the group and as you can see from some of my photos I like vintage rods and ultra light and fly in particular. I'll be posting a pic from yesterday of a fairly decent Bass (GREEN CARP) , THAT I got on a crappie jig and a 40+ year old Garcia rod.

Comment by Tony Livingston on January 30, 2012 at 8:05pm: Patricia, that is awesome! I love a big fish on an ultralight! Excellent catch!

Comment by dick tabbert on January 29, 2012 at 7:24pm: Patricia that's neat that you caught a seven and a half pounder but what's really neat is you had the intuition not to hoarse it it. Great job and if you have pictures send them we love pictures. GOOD FISHIN...

Comment by Patricia Ramirez on January 29, 2012 at 7:16pm: I like ultra light fishing, and last friday i could catch catfish on it so i want to share, it was 7.5 pounds and 68 cm., with a 1/8 jig and 4 pound line, the bait was turkeky winies. And the fight was like 7 miutes.

Comment by Israel Dunn on January 19, 2012 at 4:00pm: I bought a St Croix ultralight last summer at a Musky expo and had so much fun catching bluegills that I ended up on this site. So excited to find a group that enjoys these whippy rods.

Comment by dick tabbert on September 23, 2011 at 9:12pm: A little about myself. I love ultra lite fishing. I probably own 15 ultra lite rod and reels. have a couple Abu Garcia rods and have numerous Berkey rods. Reels I have mostly Pfluegers. For the money they are a smooth running reel and very reliable. I do have other reels but in my opinion I like my Pfluegers the best. I fish small spinners and jigs hoping to get into small spoons. I use 2,4 and 6 pound fluorocarbon line. Some top water with a rubber spider it works great for me. Have fun fella's and GOOD FISHIN..

Comment by Jeff Workman on May 20, 2011 at 1:09pm: Thanks Mark!

It is a nice combo. My wife got the same reel (only next size larger) and a heavier, shorter rod.

Someone just gave me a gift certificate for Cabelas so I may give in and buy another one of the 8 foot rods.
