I currently own 8 of the Micro Series and they're worth at least twice the price. I own the 4'6" UL, 5' UL, 2 of the 5'6" Light, 2 of the 6'6" Light and 2 of the 7' light. I haven't had any problem with my 4'6" UL for Trout in close quarters at all. Whoever wants to purchase these just one big tip: first: Check that the rod is straight with the guides and even more important, most of the rods your choosing from have blank roll so I always Hold the rod from the top of the handle or midway up the blank, grab the tip, pull down on the tip while holding the rod and if the tip is rolling go on the to next rod. An uneven blank will cause the rod to break prematurely. I haven't had any problem with mine.
Just got this rod to replace my 5'0 Shakespeare Durango UL. Can't find the Durango anymore. Caught a 5 lb largemouths on first cast. Stiff enough to Ser the hook in a big bass. Love it so far.😊
I have a couple of these. It's the first rod I bought when I got into ultralight trout fishing. I also bought a Crappie Maxx reel. Its a great combo. I still have it. For the price, there's no competition. It's almost on par with the Ugly Stik Lite Pro that Walmart used to sell. I have 3 of those and I will not get rid of them. Got them for under $25 on clearance. If you can find the Ugly Pro Lite get them , their replacement is not a true ultralight from what I actually seen.
I own 5 of the Ugly Pro Lite, 2 of the 4'6 UL, 2 of the 5'UL and 1 of the 5'6" light. Great rods for the money. their indestructible and the actions are really nice. Just a little on the heavy side.
If you can still get the Ugly Pro Lite , then get it. I believe they have been replaced by the Elites they may be about the same quality for about $50 though . I suppose the handles look better. I don't think they make them anymore. I did a little research. I believe Pro Lite was a Walmart version made for Walmart. I've bought a couple of ultralight reels lately. I believe I'm sticking my older XY 1000 Sougayilang on my 6'. My new Okuma Ceymar odt is more like a 500 size. It was supposed to be more of a 1000. I guess that's how they get that low weight without lower weight materials. Im kinda disappointed. I have a rod for it though . It has a very nice drag. $42 I won't complain too much. It was meant to be a mountain stream rod for trout anyway.
There's nothing wrong when it comes to Shakespeare and their rods. Their Their reels....idk. I believe they have some higher end reels. If you ever think about getting into fly fishing consider looking at Eagle Claw rods.
How did you try to unsnap the lure? You should never bend any ultralight-light rod at an extreme angle. They will most definitely snap on you. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Interesting. I think due to its budget quality / mass production there will be more likelihood of lemons. But hey, it lasted a year and it only cost $20.
Thanks for the vids and since you're in the military,( army?) Thank you for your service too. I let some people talk me out of it so i appreciate those thst do serve.
@@Tightt88 what do you do in the air Force? My son is enthralled with being a pilot or designer for building different planes and things with his Legos or Kennex.
