My favorite fishing gear is Ultralight spinning and pan-fishing.
In the early 1960's a friend showed me his UL setup, a tiny green Alcedo Micron reel on a wispy St Croix rod and I was hooked.
Sounds like a neat rig! Got any pics?
Welcome!
Oh, that Alcedo was my friend's outfit.
I bought a pair of Garcia-Mitchell 308's with a Garcia Blue rod and a Garcia Gold rod, still have them.
Then I bought a Quick Microlite reel that was built like an anvil but it had a single blade on the front and the line would catch on the blade instead of the spool. It was stolen when real estate showed the house.
Around 1974 a fishing store owner told me I had to come in and see a new reel he just got in. It was a Daiwa SS No. 1 and once I held it and turned the handle there was no way I couldn't buy it. I also picked up a 5'-6" Fenwick UL rod and it's still my favorite combo.
