For pond fishing I use a Shimano Spirex 1000 RG Rear Drag Spinning Reel (I really like the rear drag and fighting drag) and a 6 foot ultra light pole (Cabella's Fish Eagle II) loaded with 4 pound flourocarbon line. This rig will cast even small lures a long way and has a great feel to it. Bruce and Nate turned me on to ultra light rigs at the PB 2 Conference. I love this rig so much I spoon with it when we stay at the ranch.
