I really like the Quantum Ultra light rods. I like them because the tip of the rod is so sensitive for fishing species like soft biting walleyes to having enough strength to fight the larg Montana bulltrout. I personally use the 6-12 lb test setup and a 6'6'' rod. The 12 lb test could come in handy if you got in some pretty weedy areas. I use mine to fish all acrost the state and I love it, I once caught a 20 lb sheeps head on It, that was a heck of a fight.

Guys, the man said ULTRA light, I use a six foot rod with a fast tip, a browning ice fishing size reel and 1 lb test mono. Favorite lure is a 1/16 or 1/32 oz rooster tail. This setup will catch tons of smallies on shallow summer time rivers and a 3/4 pound fish feels huge, hook into a 2 pounder and you'd swear you have moby dick on the other end of the line.

Appreciate the feedback from everyone.
my favorite setup is a spidercast spidermite with 1 or 2lb mono with a 6'6" rod. When you set the hook on a crappie or small bass or even a good sized perch it will bend from tip to tip.
Again I appreciate the responses

I use Japanese style ISO 6'6", 2-6lbs rod with no foam or cock grip. 4lbs Maxima dark brown mono on Ecooda Blackhawks 2500 but the reel size as the same as Daiwa 1500. Awesome reel. Very smooth and no line twist. The rod tip is fine. But the excitement is the strike. It felt like a big fish hit you. I love this rod. My lures is always Johnson Bettle Spin jig only 1/16 Oz but in Flour Chartereus colour. Other size or colour doesn't work for me.
Have hit more than 100 young 12" snakeheads 4 times in 2 1/2 hrs. Rapala,Storm and Duell 1 1)2" minnows, I got ZERO strike. Snakeheads are good fighters.
If I go for big fish, I can get only a few
