I am thinking of buying a Poseidon HMG Ultra Light (3 piece)fishing rod (1 to 3oz) for rock and surf spinning purposes, and was wondering if anyone had one and if they thought is was a good buy? If no, is there another make I should be looking at? I like the idea of the light weight as hours of spinning can take its toll!!

The Poseidon Ultra lite is the bomb. You can't go wrong with the rod if its spinning you have in mind.

Hi if you are going to be spinning for long periods, i would get a shumano aerocast rod, very light you can cast a 1 to 2oz lures the whole day.

i have one as well as a ultra light, the ultra light is good for casting 4oz lures, but you are going to get tired casting all day.

Thanks Plonker I will look into the Aerocast. I understand the ultralight is rated for 1-3oz You mentioned in your post casting 4oz !! Does the rod happily handle the extra weight??

Hi Billmatt

Have a look on the Adrenalin xxxh dropshot rod as well.  10ft - 1-3oz andpair it up with a Penn Battle 4000.

Enjoy:fishn

Hi, the ultra light is at its best with a 4oz lure, 1 or 2oz is to small for it. The rod is very stiff, that is just what i have found.
