had a play with one of these today and it was awesome except id rather a one piece in something this light, anyone else comment on other ultra light rods that they personally have?

I'm using a Phlueger Trion 7 foot 1-3kg and although it's a cheapie it works fine. Down the track though I'll be looking at a Loomis or a Nitro Vapor.

i want something lighter and more noodley, i have a few 1-3kg rods but i want something for a bit more fun chasing whiting/herring, will only run 2-3lb line

[agz_67]

perhaps a daiwa saltist light rock fish??? only played with these in stores though

[Tonka-T]

Daiwa luvias 1-3kg or samurai 101 would be some other options

[JIM1]

herring dont deserve $400 worth of rod lol, $200 would be about the max i think, the hurricane one i got the link for would be awesome but the ferrel looks super weak

[redfinfisho]

i got a daiwa steez amraan 2-5lb

I brought a 101 about two weeks ago, and I gotta say I love it, it's rated as a fast taper, but IMHO it's medium/fast so it can work jerkbaits, poppers etc effectively aswell lures more suited to a fast taper.
It's quite ballsy for it rating too.
I'm running a daiwa fuego 2000 and it balances perfectly. Just another option.
Cheers stealth

Agreed mate, I run the exact same setup and love it, trying to stop myself from buying another 101 at the moment, but they are just so fun

I've got the Trion 1-3kg. Not a bad little rod. I have a 2-6lb Loomis too. It too is a nice rod.

A lot of people over look the new Tcurve Revolutions because they don't have the fuji guides, the ones they come with do the job just fine. I have the 7'2, 1-3kg Tcurve and love it, I have more expensive rods with the good guides but still prefer Tc for all my light fishing, there very underrated in my eyes.

I have a Loomis S842-2. It was one of a special run made purposely for breaming with a extra short butt grip.
It's rated at 2-4kg but it fishes 2kg perfect.
It's heaps softer than my DSR 8200 which they rate at 2-6lb.

I dont know how light these are but you said you wanted something noodley and im thinking these are noodley since they are for HB's.

what he said but would rate the 101 as much better.

also have an SR-842 and the above two rods are definitely lighter in action

if you want more exotic, i also have a graphiteleader calzante 7'3 2-6lb and i'd rate that above all for what you want to do as it has a super light tip, k guides and looks sexy

lots of rods and differing opinions .. i say just buy and try lol

I've owned a few different high-end ultra light rods, generally running 2 or 3 lb fluoro on a 1000 sized reel.
My present version is this http://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/p...e-elzs-66.html
It is beautifully crafted, noodley with a fish on but stiff and reactive for casting small lures miles... I've landed some rather big carp on it just for fun!
Spending an extra 100 or 200 dollars on a top-shelf ultralight rod is really worth it when you can get something as exquisitely crafted as some of the JDM trout-stream rods...
