Ok so I'm gonna be in the market for a new pole soon. I wanted to get a light or another ultra light. My question for you guys is......whats your favorite CHEAP "trout pole" set up. I already have an ultra light cherrywood that I love. So I was wondering if I could get some outside input on this matter. I just want to hear about your rod/reel setup. :)
Thanks,
Kevin

I own the Daiwa Spinmatic rod and reel set up.
You can get the rod for 4'6" for 25.99 to a 8 foot for 35.99
i have the 4'6" i wish i had the 7 foot or 8 footer to get a better cast on lighter jigs.
the reel is about 24.99
these are decent ul rod and reels and you can catch them for a good price

i've caught some 5 and 6 pound bass with this combo on 2 pound line plus countless smaller bass and many trout and it has never let me down and has a pretty smooth flowing drag even at light lines. Also has enough backbone to set that hook good.
they also make a spinmatic pack rod for about 37.99 that is four peice 6 to 7 feet tall.
check um out. They are a great deal for a pretty good ul setup
