Okuma altera sea ATES-3000A + Fujin Sniper 270cm 10-40gr

I'm thinking of starting spinning. I have a 180cm set that isn't enough for me anymore. Is it worth buying, or are there better options?

Hi guys, I've been using my current setup for about 2 and a half years. I have Lineaffe Rapid Freshwater 1-7g and some low end 150p size reel. I use 0.4pe braided line by DaIwa. I mostly fish small creeks for trout and chub, and smaller lakes for perch. I feel like it's time for a change and looked into some rods and reels. I found Savage Gear SG2 Revenge UL Game 1-7g for about 65 bucks. Have any of you had this rod or maybe tried it? I mostly cast small jig heads and tungsten heads that are about 1g all up to 5g twitch lures like Duo Ryuki Spearhead. I also cast smaller spoons and wobblers. For reels I've looked into some DaIwa Exceler 2500LT (my friend has one on similar UL setup and works fine). So if any of you had any experience with this rod I'd like to hear it, or if you have any other suggestion on what I should get. I'm on a budget and wouldn't spend much more than this to be honest, and I'm aware I'm not gonna get some ultra high end stuff.

Daiwa Presso 5'6"

Has anyone used the 4 piece that can speak for its sensetivity? I'm thinking the 2 piece has to be more sensetive, but I wonder by how much. Has anyone here used both that can compare?

What to know about smoothness, build quality, and castability for 1-2 gram lures. Any noticeable other things that make you like one over the other?

I see the a51mc has a lighter spool so maybe has a slight edge in terms of spool startup, but unsure of how much a difference it makes in real life casting. b50 is obviously a round as opposed to low profile

It was windy so I had to step up to a 1/8oz Little Cleo spoon and 1/8oz Beetle Spin

Been getting more into vintage fishing reels, specifically ultra lights. New scoop just showed up. Working on getting an earlier version but the later maroon model is always fun to play with

Planning on taking to the local pond and fishing near the bottom. Pretty sure thats where fish are this time of year

Zebco Cardinal 3 gotta be one of my favorites. Even made a Facebook group for others interested https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1J7VNmHakY/?mibextid=wwXIfr

It’s been a stressful couple of weeks. Came home from work to a very nice surprise thanks to my wife and AI lol. Can’t wait to go back to fishing soon! (What would you add to this kit that might be useful?)

So far so good on my ultralight journey. Always looking for more tips, also any advice to stop hooks going rusty in the case?

Most lures are from China or Japan apart from a few rapalas that I've lost

In case you are on the fence of the fishing brand “Mavllos” jump it. Their fishing rods are some of the best out there. I have caught so many different species on their ultralight, and bass rods. They look killer, weigh nothing, cost nothing, and are incredibly sensitive. For example take this 30+lb carp on my Mavllos assault:

I recently acquired a Shakespeare 2052 to dip my toes into the world of vintage ultralight after seeing all of the cool finesse-tuned Abu reels. And I must say, I reelly like it. It is nowhere near as smooth and low resistance as my modern Daiwa reels with its lowly single ball bearing in the rotor, but like a good whiskey, smoothness isn’t everything! The low gear ratio paired with the ratcheting anti-reverse makes it effortlessly easy to get into a slow and steady retrieve for micro spoons. The compact size and dense weight also was not a problem, it balanced perfectly just in front of the reel seat on this 6’6” TFO T&P2. The only gripes I really have with it is being used to modern conveniences like not being able to manually close the bail and no drag clicker. If, like me, you have only ever fished with modern reels, consider dusting off your dad’s old Mitchell and give it a spin!

Spent most of the afternoon dinking around with small gravel pit 'gills on a nymph and bobber. Nice surprise on the carp and it felt good to put a real bend in the rod. Size 16 nymph, guess it was just in the right place at the right time. Might be the smallest fly I've caught a carp on and was surprised it held strong to landing.

Been exactly 1 yr and 3 days since I started chasing after a walleye. Finally caught one. They like the Mule horse fly in this specific area.

Been fly fishing since moving out west but decided today to pull out the UL setup. First rainbow was a 20in 3lb-ish rainbow. Caught these with the trout slayer trout magnet kit

Setup:
6’6 daiwa presso
1000 jdm daiwa legalis
5lb iron feather braid attached to 5x tippet

Spent yesterday hunting bluegill. Ended up finding them tight in the brush of fallen down trees. You had to get right in the brush to get them to bite. After snagging up a few times, I decided to rig up a micro EWG Texas rig. No more snagging up and pulled the fish right out!

Rod was Leelands TCB with a Daiwa Legalis 1000S paired with 2lb. Trout SOS. A few pics of some of the nice bluegills.
