The Winner (Best Ultralight Spinning Reel): Shimano CI4 If cost is no matter, it doesn't get any better than the Shimano CI4. When it comes to line capacity, drag power, durability, and overall weight, the CI4 is the best of the best. Their large spool diameter means rocket casts, tangle-free line management, and quick retrieve speeds. I doubt that BBB or Shimano (well maybe the Shimano) will handle either very well. I fish a mix of tenkara and UL spin, and they both have their place. I use a Daiwa Liberty Club 5'10" telescopic ($50) and Revros 2004H reel ($45). Works great for medium sized bass and trout. 4.2 Carbon Fiber Rods. 4.3 Fiberglass. 4.4 Line and Lure Weight. 4.5 Eyelets. 5 The Best Ultralight Fishing Rods. 5.1 KastKing Crixus Fishing Rods,IM6 Graphite Spinning Rod. 5.2 Shimano FXS 2 Piece Spinning Rod. 5.3 Ugly Stik Elite Spinning Rod. 5.4 OKUMA Celilo Graphite Lightweight Ultra Light.
