Quality for the money, I'd say go with an Eagle Claw Powerlight or Fenwick Eagle GT.
I have the 5'6" ML Powerlight and have been using it very heavily since March last year. Have landed tons of fish with it from 4" bluegills to a 6 pound 1 ounce largemouth. Excellent lifting power with the IM-7.
I have an older 5' L Fenwick Eagle II that I take with me while basically stream trout fishing. Flexible rod and light. Has the power to land some bigger trout, such as a 4 pound rainbow, and have fun with smaller baits and lures while targeting river smallies and panfish. |

Check out the new Ugly Stik GX2 Ultra Light.
I picked one up at Sports Authority and they are super sensitive, have great strength and at a very fair price.
I have about 5 different ultra lights and really like the GX2

| What is your price range? I would recommend taking a look at some St. Croix and G Loomis Ultralight rods. G Loomis will put you back a bit more than the St.croix. I really like the St.Croix premier series and they also have a trout fishing line if you checkout their website. |

Hi,
Checkout the graphite micro light rods from Bass Pro.
Just got the 4' 6" one (other sizes available) and reasonably priced.
Will handle 1/64 to 1/8 lures.
Has fast action and a fast taper.
Friend got one last year and let me try it and I really liked it. |
