Who has a 7’ Shakespeare micro series UL rod?
Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone had a Shakespeare Micro Series rod that is 7ft and is an ULTRA LIGHT…….I have this exact rod but it’s a LIGHT. I found it to be too stiff for throwing 1/32 jigs at distance….so I wanted to buy the ultra light one. If anyone has this exact rod and can post some close up pictures of it so I can see how it compares I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.

My "Light" 6.5 Shakespeare Micro Series rod, cast an 1/64 oz. Trout Magnet about the same distance as my 7 " Ultra light" Shakespeare Micro Series rod. I bought it thinking I was going to get a lot more distance...I didn't .

I don't cast small baits too much but from what I have read on here the rod is what makes the difference.

It definitely is a piece of the puzzle but the weight of your fishing line does as well.

Have you tried Gliss line. It cast better than any line I've used but is so small of diameter that it hard to tie. I use it dock fishing in the winter also on ice spoons.

I have the light 7’ rods also, 2 of them . With 4 lb line it will cast a light jig very well. With 2lb Stren Crappie you will have to stop it from going into the trees, casts way better than 4 lb. never used the UL rod of that length.

a stiff rod no matter the make should cast better than a softer version of it ?

I have one. Don’t use it that much due to a recent purchase, but used it all of last summer. It tosses a 1/64 trout magnet fine. Happy to send you any pictures, just let me know what you need. Definitely an entry-level Rod, I can tell that my ~$60 Pflueger is nicer.

Up until recently all I've used is light action rods. I bought an ultralight rod (Fenwick Elite Tech River Runner) last year and it doesn't cast 1/64 oz. jigs any farther than my light action rods with 2 lb. test. It is more forgiving in the fight and so I don't have to be quite as careful fighting the fish, but I don't notice any significant distance in casting. Can't speak in general or specific to the Shakesphere rod question you've asked though.
