It sounds like it:


Shakespeare Mirco Series 7' Spinning Combo

In the competitive ultra-light market, Shakespeare Micro Series combos feature best-in-class value and now sport an all-new look.

•Graphite composite rod with ultra-light actions
•2 Ball Bearings for a smooth retrieve
•Ported spool filled with 4 LB. line
•Smooth multi-disc drag system

I don't see any actions listed for their UL rods, just lengths.

The Micro ultralight is going to be slow action ,and the Micro light is going to be moderate action. What kind fish and lures you will be using ?

No, you’ll be fine.

There is a universal objective system that measures any rod's action as well as it's power and frequency values. It is called "Common Cents System " or CCS. There are data sites that have applied this system to many blanks and rods. It measures action by quantively measuring the exact deflection angle of the loaded rod. You can then make a accurate comparison to any other rod or blanks. I have measured every rod I have ever built. The results from this testing procedure eliminates subjective opinions and deals in objective values.

Apparently I know less than I thought. I thought for small fish to have the ultimate experience you wanted an UL fast action. Am I correct that you want an UL, but the action is more related to the casting than the retrieval of the fish?

Don't overthink the purchase of a $20 rod. The UL Micro will be fine for what you want to do.
