I have some UL stuff. Most of the rods I fish are Light action
When I got into Crappie fishing, I quickly bought a bunch of UL gear. I like them... but I'm just really not used to longer, UL stuff. Those 7' UL rods are like thin pool noodles. Ha! They just bend at the slightest touch. I don't know... I'm still a newbie at Crappie fishing, but I wanted to try something different. This may be a mistake, but I'm going to try it anyway - moving to a light power setup for one of my rigs.
I found a Fenwick Elite Light Finesse Spinning Rod (6'3", Light Power) and paired it with a Pflueger President size 20 reel. It's odd, because Pflueger's sizes don't correspond to the normal "size" groupings. My Abu Garcia Revo X size 10 is significantly bigger / holds more line than this reel. Turns out (I wasn't even aware of this until they arrived) - the rod and reel almost match in color (and balance) perfectly.
Looking forward to using this combo soon!
All the best,
Glenn

I have a 7 ft UL and it’s totally a noodle. Great rod for brim, but even then almost too light. Next one will be a light power. That is my preference

That looks like a nice rig. I am not fond of long UL rods either. Mine are 5 1/2, 5 and 4 1/2 feet long. I have two of the 20 sized Presidents on two of those rods. I really love that reel especially for the price. I just wish they made a shallow spool for it. I hate having to put backing on before winding on the 4# mono I use on them.
