Which spinning rod is the lightest?
The lightest rods suitable for inshore fishing are blanks marked as UL (ultra-light). The lure weight for such options is between 1/16 ounces and 1/8 ounces (between 1.5 and 3 grams). Some manufacturers label their lightweight blanks as SUL (super ultra-light) and XUL (extra ultra-light). Shorter rods (6 feet and give or take 6 inches) with a test of 1/64 ounces (0.5 grams) are designed for thin lines. Such rods aren’t rigid as they need to bend from lighter pulls but come in varying builds. While medium builds are suitable for an even bait wiring that attracts fish with its own game the very fast builds allow the angler to play with the bait himself.
