I was at Jenks lake this weekend, and saw a guy with an ultralight Mitchell's Zero Gravity 6' rod. He was able to cast 70-80+ yards or so with only a small weight (1/2 oz or so) and hit the underwater channel closer to the north shore from the south...he hauled in maybe 30 fish...total by noon.
Are there any decent rods equivalent to this for not a whole lot of cash? I did find one of these rods online but its a 5'6" not a 6'...
Albeit he was an old timer and probably very very experienced etc...but still the rod I think has a bit to do with this... I looked on the web and they have been discontinued since at least 2007 or before...
Any ideas folks?
I was able to come close to his casting using my custom 12' rod using a 1oz weight...
