Ok Walkerskiller.....one or two phone calls and i have the following info for you.....Lexus has been replaced by DAM.....start looking for the DAM Ultralight Spinning setups and you'll be on the right track

Thanks for the effort! I will also have a look at them.

I have a Shimano Clarus ultra light 5'-6'' paired with a Shimano Alivio 100 reel loaded with 4kg mono and it's great fun fishing for Kurper

Marcos thats not a bad idea, but those rods are not very sensitive?

No idea about the sensitiveness of the rods.. but I'm sure about the sensitiveness of my BANK!!!!

True Marcos, thanks Roger

Gareth I will bring my light set up to the social and you can have a look at it. Its something from sensation and it maxes out at about 1oz

I don't think you can get much lighter than this. Cost was about R250. My reel is a slade 1000 and as you know that thing is tiny. Also cost about R250. The one thing I would say is go for braid! The directness is even more awesome for tiny fish firstly for the bite and secondly when "fighting" the fish you can feel every head nod! You should only need +- 100m of braid so in total your set up would be +- R600

Who would ever have thought I'd respond to micro fishing

unless perhaps its micro anglers

Brad, you are talking to the king of light tackle here, my lightest rod is a half ounce

Def gonna go with braid, 100m should be perfect, I could maybe even load 2 small reels.

But please bring the setup, I might actually have a setup by then though...

I think a 1oz rating on this rod is rather ambitious!

WalkersKiller · « **Reply #30 on:** November 23, 2012, 10:37:29 AM »

what length is it?

Half-Pint · « **Reply #31 on:** November 23, 2012, 10:42:10 AM »

5 foot 6 if I'm not mistaken

Nice bru!!!

My lightest set up is a Daiwa BG10 paired with a Berkley graphite Lightening Rod 5'6" (it says lure 1/8-1/4. trilene 4-10 light action) I bought it in the 80's specifically for in Mazoe dam in Harare where there are many tiny/small tilapia

I bought it in San Francisco while travellin - and then used it for the first time on the Saskatchewan river in Canada where I caught a 5lb pike - which snapped the rod! Berkley replaced it for free.

Since then I had great fun with it catching small tilapia in Zimbabwe - but have not used it for many years

Thanks Ziggy...

you should also google Tenkara fishing - - But I am sure you know about that. You can get some very very light tenkara rods (no reel required). In japan they catch the smallest of fish with them

WalkersKiller · « **Reply #38 on:** November 23, 2012, 11:10:28 AM »

Have seen those thanks, I really have my heart set on getting the lightest spinning setup possible though

If you like

you can have a look at the Daiwa Regal RG1000-5iA
