Nice to read about guy's using ultra light rods and reels. I did years ago, Mitchell 308 on a Garcia 3206 rod, it was super. Recently got a new ultra light for crappie fishing. 5' Ocuma UL rod and Ocuma Ignite iT-10a reel filled it with 4# yellow Kastking mono. Haven't had it out for crappie yet, lake is full of weeds and algae right now. But, took it to the river fo small mouth and it was great. This is I think my third Ocuma reel and about the same number of Ocuma rods. Boy do I like them but don't read much about them.
