looking for a rod

[chetc]

well the bass pro micro lite in 6.6 is out of stock here at bass pro shops and cabelas in Hamburg pa, the more i see that teton trout combo over at grizzly jigs, maybe my wife would be happy with at for getting lighter lures a little further.

I have the Eagle Claw featherlight, its fiberglass, wippy and heavy.I much rather the Shakespeare Micro rods.

I just noticed this:

... say she has a daiwa rod now 5 1/2 ft med action ...

I have a 5'6" medium action St. Croix, and I would never use it for 1/32 jigs. A light or UL rod will load up much better with a 1/32 oz jig.

Any of the rods that have been suggested will work better for her.
