I consider Ultra Light Fishing to be 4# test and under .1/4 oz. and lighter lures or baits.What are you guys thinking?I use 2# test on a Shimano Sensilite 5'6' rod rated for 1-4 #test at the bottom of my ul range.4 lb test I will troll 1/4 oz Cranks on an UL Ugly Stick at the pinnacle of my UL ranges.
I started fishing ultra light when I was a kid. The pond that I fished, was a heavily fished county park pond. Being new to fishing I had a handmedown zebco 202 I only fished for bluegill there, (very very small bluegill) and the rod was good enough for a long time to come. It seemed to me though that these little fish might be more fun if I used a lighter rod. I was right I bought a cheap little rod, a cheap little reel, some 4# test, and when I caught that first fish I knew I was on to something I loved. There's been a lot of little fish, and a few big fish caught since then. While the equipment that I now use has gotten better, and the fish I catch are more likely to be bigger ( I did say more likely ), I am so glad I got Hooked on ultra light. If you haven't figured it out yet let me say it again I love to fish with ultra light. Let's hear from some anglers that share my love of ULTRALIGHT fishing fish tales are welcome.
Trout fishing in a small creek with jumping fish up to a foot long with 2#test is a blast! I wouldn't mind at all hooking and landing bigger fish on 2# test .It is a great feel with UL gear.
Derrick, I 'm sure more UL enthusiasts will be coming your way shortly. Thanks for starting the group.
Delete Comment Zack -Maybe get a rod rated for 1-4 lb test in your price range and a second rod rated 2-6 and get a good reel with a spare spool like a Pflueger .Use different line strength on each spool and save money swapping reels until you can afford a second reel.

I need to get a few UL setups can anyone recomend a few options depending on what they are used for.
I would like to get a nice one but really prefer to buy an inexpensive setup that I can use for BG, as I do not have much to spend at this time.
Thanks
