I'm as you all know I'm no fishing expert and don't know whether the Spirex is considered an ultra light or not but I can tell you that if I can cast at 1/16 ounce lure a significant distance with the Fish Eagle II ultra light action pole and the Spirex 1000 reel then anyone can.
The rear drag Spirex is a joy to own. The fighting drag adjustment lever makes changing the drag during a fight a breeze, the bail trigger makes one handed casting easy - even for a goofball like me.
My wife loved my rig so much that I had to buy her one. We both really enjoy this set up.
