2 tone z71 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 looking to go perch fishing on Erie soon...could use a ultralight as the rest of my gear is kinda heavy ...any suggestions
l2p Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Maybe worth checking one of these out. Picked up a 7ft UL years ago for 40 bucks, hard to beat for the money. http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Micro-Lite-Graphite-Spinning-Rods/product/10204875/
NANUK Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Check out Rapala F2 ultralight rods, nice crisp action, 4 models to choose from,
Hooked Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I picked up a St. Croix Panfish series rod last year. 6' UL paired with a Rapala R-Type spinning reel. Awesome rod I have to admit.
dave524 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Don't go really noodly on the rod, perch on Erie are frequently in 40 feet of water , 1/2 oz. sinker and long hooksets are better with a stiffer action . edit: the ultra lite I use on small creek trout is not the one I use on Erie perch.

My Erie perch rod is an ancient 5 1/4 foot one piece, Fenwick HMG, very light but rated for 1/4 to 5/8oz wts. paired up with an ultralite reel and braid , I find it ideal.

2 tone z71 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Posted March 30, 2014 ok guys thanks ill just use one of my medium rods
