Best Pack Rod Dec 16, 2009
By Fishing Jo
I've had one of Daiwa's pack rods for many years. At that time it came in a rectangular carrying case and the guides were thread wrapped - rather than taped. As a friend has had one with the "T" shaped case for 25 years, it must be somewhat older than that. Because it can be broken down to such a small size - it is an excellent rod for canoe portage fishing trips and for hiking in through the brush to the best trout streams. I have caught everything from 12 pound northern pike to brook trout and pan fish with this rod. In recent years my wife has purchased one as well. While it will never have the natural feel of a one piece rod, it does surprisingly well for coming in five pieces. My wife says it is my lucky rod, and after many years of "borrowing" it from me - I bought her one of her own. She loves to fish for bronze-backs and has already put fillets in the frying pan numerous times.

MiniSpin Still a Great Buy Sep 26, 2010
By jflann
I have had one of these for over thirty years. I bought this one for my son. The MiniSpin is still an excellent way to take a high quality fishing combo wherever you go. It is not the rig for chasing huge fish, but I have caught pike on mine, and my son caught a four pound bass with his the first weekend he used it. This is a serious light spinning outfit. I recommend getting a second spool and filling one spool with four pound line and one with six. The four pound line works great with this rod and reel for things like crappies and smallmouth bass. Much more fun than just hauling them out of the water with a stiff rod and ten or twelve pound line. Six pound gives better results where there are weeds or bottom obstructions - you don't lose so much terminal tackle. The plastic latches on the case will wear with time, so I use a large elastic band to hold them closed. I highly recommend this package.

Best Ultra Light Spin-Cast Pack Rod in my Collection Apr 01, 2012
By Great White
I am an avid Fly-Fisherman although not a purist, a backcountry guide, an outdoor writer ( You think?) as well and I simply LOVE this Ultra Light Combo! I spend an average of about 150-200 days a year on the water so the gear I choose must be the best. If too many fish are taken on flies or they in turn are not taking what I have to offer, I love the flexibility of having a great spin-cast reel on my pack. I bought mine from the Cherry Creek Orvis Store just about six years ago and it still functions like the day I purchased it. Unlike the review from "Ultralight-Hiker" on Amazon who "couldn't determine" what the weight class of "ultra-light" pole is and stated:
"I would never buy any product that advertises its self as ultralight and then does not list its weight. I have searched at least 20 sites trying to find the weight of the rod, the reel, and the case. If your going to advertise a product as ultralight it seems very poor judgement to have no information of the actual weight anywhere. Obviously shipping weight is not a useful number. As an avid ultralight camper, fisher, hiker, and rafter, I would not trust any company who does not list the weight of gear advertised as ultralight".
With such foolishness abound from one who is "Ultra-light" in all things including common sense, allow The Great White to educate you:
First of all my "ultra-light" friend, the term "Ultra Light" as used here has nothing to do with the actual weight of the product but what it's design is for. Ultra-light fishing rods are best for catching small bait fish like pan-fish. Extra-Heavy rods are used for heavy fish in surf fishing, deep sea fishing. Any fish can be caught with any rod, but catching pan-fish on a heavy rod offers no fun at all, and successfully landing a large fish on an ultra-light rod requires highest rod handling skills at best, and a fun you got is the best fun you can have but more frequently it ends in broken tackle and a lost fish. The best if rods are matched to the type of fishing they are intended for. The smaller the fish you target, the lighter the rod you will need. Pan-fish should be fished with either an Ultra Light or a Light rod, while you better use Heavy or Extra Heavy rod to cast large lures and fight some powerful and heavy fish like big musky.
The following list details the types of rod power, and the corresponding line and lure weight they would be best matched up with.
Power:
Ultra Light
Light
Medium
Medium Heavy
Heavy
Extra HeavyLine Weight:
1 to 4lb Test
4 to 8lb Test
4 to 12lb Test
8 to 14lb Test
15 - 25lb Test
25lb Test and AboveLure Weight:
1/64 - 1/16oz
1/32 - 1/8oz
1/8 - 3/8oz
3/16 - 1/2 oz
up to 1 1/2 oz
1 1/2 oz and Above
The lure weights and line sizes that a rod can handle determine its power. Ultra-light rods are designed for 2-6 pound line and lures weighing from 1/32-ounce. Rod blank power is simply a rating based upon the design characteristics of a particular blank model.
Power categories are as follows:
*· UL - Ultra-Light
*· L - Light
*· ML - Med/Lights
*· M - Medium
*· MH - Medium Heavy
*· H - Heavy
*· XH - Extra Heavy
*· UH - Ultra Heavy
I am never one to buy cheap gear on any level and this is no exception. Daiwa has been an industry leader in spincast tackle for years and I would expect that to continue as long as they turn out products of this quality. To the frustrated "Ultra-light" gent from Amazon, I would suggest that simply taking the time to research such information in the future will keep you from misplacing your trust and sounding like a "Nimrod" while attempting to review any product, no pun intended!
