    Default UL Rod Suggestions


    Looking to pick up 2-3 UL rods for bobber fishing, cheaper ones for loaners to keep in the rod locker. Looking for cheap, but decent, UL in the 6-7' length. 1 or 2pc. Any suggestions? Not jigging rods, just used for tossing small spring or slip floats for crappie/bluegill.

    Thanks!

    You can get Berkley Cherrywoods at WM for around $20-25 ... but, I'd get a medium action in them if inexperienced anglers were going to be using them.

    A 7' 1pc med action Cherrywood spinning rod at WM would cost about $23 (free shipping on orders over $50) -- Berkley Cherrywood Spinning Rod - Walmart.com

    Thanks for the suggestions guys! I looked up all of the suggested products but they didn't really jump out at me.
    Although ugly sticks would be the most logical rod for newbies, I would use these rods as well if needed and I really don't like ugly sticks.
    The BPS micro lites, I have had a few of those in the past.. great rods. However I have no BPS near me and the shipping costs and snail mail from them is unbearable.
    I looked up the inferno and only found 5' in the UL, I want 6-7' for ease of casting lighter rigs.
    Cherrywoods are probably just what I need however again I haven't personally seen them in the longer UL lengths. I really need UL because we do fish a lot of light rigs for bluegill up here for bluegill (3/8 pencil bobbers, BB split shot and #8 hook with a waxworm).

    I was browsing through fishusa little bit ago (still a site sponsor?) and saw quantum xtralite rods and noticed they had a 6'6 UL for $22.. sounds like the perfect "rod locker rod" to me! Ordered a few of them and some "needed" baits. I have tons of UL reels in the garage from ice fishing so this should work out perfectly.

    Thank you very much for the suggestions, even though I didn't listen to any of you!

    I've got a couple of CrappieMax UL that I personally use on a regular bases when dock fishing an they work great and there in the 20 buck range.

    You never did say what your budget was. With that information we can narrow the field down for you much better.
