skinny Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have been thinking of picking up a BPS microlite rod to use for perch fishing I have wanted something a bit more sensitive than my other rods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I bought one a while back for that reason and don't like it. IMO it is too sensitive. It's now one of the kids rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Too sensitive???? I love my ultra and micro lites. Combined with a 2-6 LB braid. If a fish even licks the bait you can feel it. If a walleye hits , it's pure fun ! Just make sure you have the drag set properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbaquial Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I like them. I got the 7'6" version. I use it for Panfish also. My only issue with it is that the tip is a little fragile. I think I've gone through 2 now? 1st one broke just cause I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. 2nd time, broke because I leaned it up against a tree.. when I went to grab it, it somehow got wedged and busted the tip. I'm now looking into getting the Daiwa Spinmatic-C Ultra-Light Series. Its roughly in the same price range I believe. http://lebaron.ca/pdf_files_sp11/daiwa_procaster.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Is King Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've got a 7'0" in UL. I really like it. It is sensitive and the action is great for fighting panfish. The extra length is great for casting those light jigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I bought an ultra light rod, 20-30 years ago, it quickly became my rod to catch bait with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexmedic Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I bought a 7'0 Micro Lite a few years ago. I got a small jig caught in some weeds and yanked it up to break free and crack! The rod broke at the fist taper in the rod, just past the cork handle. I then watched 6 1/2 feet of it slide down the line into 30 feet of water, never to be seen again! Took the little piece of rod I had left (and receipt) back to BPS the next week and got a new one - no questions asked! That break must have been a weak spot. Since then, I have never had any issues with the rod. I think they are great.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
