I don't think there's anything bad about any of the rods/reels that were mentioned. Like PF said, match line wt. on the reel to the rod is the best bet.

I did not see that last line or I would not have told you about the Okuma Epixor. We have a drug store chain called Long's Drugs out here. They closed thier fishing dept and I picked that up for $20. But mine is a slightly different model, same features. Spirex 1000RE. Also snagged a Stradic 1000FH, a steal for $20. Got some casting Shimanos that are discontinued a Calyx 200, and a Corsair 401A. Still new in box both for $20 each. I also bought some Ambassadeurs, which used to be the best. I just do not use casting reels. I bought every reel they had. I think I came in to get a pack of gum or something and it was in the strip mall next to my work. I was in shock, and said how can I pass these up, I'll take them all. Anyone want to buy a Corsair 401A or Calyx 200, still in box, never spooled? I'm keeping the spinning reels.

I just found info that Temple Fork Outfitters has come up with a UL spin-fly combo.
TFO TFG FWSF 601-2 two piece spin-fly.
I'm trying to get some info for anyone that may be interested.

Todd Overton is a dealer for TFO so help the dealers that help PB forum folks.

The TFO TFG FWSF 601-2 spin-fly rod is 2 piece, 6 ft. Ultra Lt … 1/32 – 3/8 oz. spin rod and a 4wt fly rod.

The one piece I believe to be to be a 5wt fly rod but don’t know the spin rod lure wt.

I don’t know the prices as yet but will find out.
Sounds interesting.

Well I needed a 2nd Traxxis 55 trolling motor and since I had a $40 off coupon for the next level I ordered the same 5 ft FEII. I need to feel those 2" gsf at my new friends ponds. This might work. So I got an additional $20 off down to 39.88 before shipping. I should have 4 one piece FEII's now. The new 5', 5'8", 6' and 6'6". Actually great kid's pole, for my 4 or 8 year old also. I guess I believe in this product.

As far as the small reels. They do have some drawbacks, mainly line cap. But they can also twist up. But on this 5 ft ul, they are just the perfect match. Also I fish with a lot of kids, anywhere from 4-10. Sometimes as a guide. They are just a better fit for those smaller hands.
