\n<\/span><\/p>\nUltralight or UL spinning rods are the lightest fishing rods available.<\/p>\n
Ultralight fishing is a whole fishing religion with its own philosophy and many followers. For a long time, such fishing was inherent only to sportsmen, as the catches can not boast of large sizes, but enjoy the variety of nibbles and species composition of catches. I think there is no fish that could not be caught on UL.<\/p>\n

If you designate the entire working test range, it is conditionally from 0.1 g to 7 g, of course 6-7 g with a stretch can be attributed to ultralight fishing, but some rods have such a weighting.<\/p>\n
UL spinning rods are of all kinds: short and long, with a super-fast Extra Fast or slow Regular, classic rods under non-inertial reels and casting under multipliers, but all of them have one fundamental difference, which is in the different types of tops. Namely:<\/p>\n
\n- Solid tip<\/li>\n
- Tubular tip<\/li>\n
- HardSolid tip<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nSolid tip<\/strong> is a sensitive monolithic inlay made of fiberglass or low-modulus carbon. Such a tip visually conveys all the irregularities of the bottom and shows the most cautious nibs. This type of tip is mainly preferred by fans of micro jigging, because in addition to visualization solid allows you to smoothly animate the bait. As a result of its softness, the solid is not suitable for fishing on currents and at least some stubborn lures.<\/p>\nTubular tip<\/strong> – classic hollow tip, less informative in the transmission of visual information than the Solid tip, but has the best qualities in terms of tactile sensitivity. The level of sensitivity is proportional to the cost of the rod due to the design features and type of materials used, so a quality microjig rod with this type of tip costs from 10-15 thousand. Tubular is considered to be the most universal tip. Such a rod can be fished both on the current and in standing water. There are also no restrictions on baits, the hollow tip perfectly copes with the animation of microjig and spaced jigs, with blades and wobblers, both crankbaits and minnows that require jerk animation.<\/p>\nHardSolid tip<\/strong> is a monolithictip<\/strong>, like the usual Solid, but the most rigid of the aforementionedtips<\/strong> and at the same time the most fragile, because it is made of high-modulus graphite. This tip has shown itself best of all in sea fishing – Rock Fish, where it is often necessary to conduct the bait by undermining and at the same time the tip should not fall through.<\/p>\n<\/span>\u041a\u043e\u0442\u0443\u0448\u043a\u0430.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nIn ultralight spinning fishing use the minimum reel sizes from 500 to 2500 size. Since the thinnest cords and lines are used in such fishing, the selection of the reel should be approached very carefully. In addition to size and weight, an important factor is the quality of laying, because if the reel winds unevenly, it is easy to get a beard when casting. The thinner the fishing line or cord, the higher the requirements for the quality of winding. And, of course, do not forget about the friction. As a rule, the more expensive the reel, the softer and faster you can adjust the friction brake and prevent cord breakage at a powerful nibble.<\/p>\n
According to the size of the reel can be conditionally correlated with the following rods:<\/p>\n
Size 500-1000<\/strong> works perfectly with spinning rods that have an upper test range of 1-1.5 gr – these are the minimum weights that practically do not load the mechanism, so you can take a lighter reel without fear of replacement at the end of the season. Most often these are microjig spinning reels.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nSize 1000-2000<\/strong> depending on the power of the reel is perfect for rods with test up to 3-3.5 gr. There are powerful reels in 1000 size, which perfectly cope with such loads, for example, Shimano Biomaster 1000S, there is even a load on the friction up to 5 kg, and there are reels like Stinger Innova Ultralight, which, despite the budget, have an excellent winding and perfectly cope with the thinnest fishing lines and braided cords, but in pursuit of a small weight have not very powerful mechanism, as a result, such a model in 2000 size is undesirable to use with heavier loads.<\/p>\nThe 2000-2500 size<\/strong> is ideal for rods with an upper test range of even more than 7 gr. In such reels is already powerful enough mechanism and catching fish even a few kilograms will not cause harm, as well as the wiring of stubborn crankbaits against the current.<\/p>\n
