The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

This is an excellent rod for trout and panfish anglers, especially when using small micro-jigs. This is a versatile rod. I fish small streams with it and I've had success using a variety of lures, but I've loved it for fishing small jigs. I use the 7ft ultralight version, but for the waters I fish, I think that the 6' or 5'6" options would have been ideal. Even with the 7' rod, I found that it was able to make accurate casts which is crucial in small streams with lots of rocks and bushes along the bank. I did, however find that I wasn't able to get the casting distance that I had expected with it, but in the waters that I was fishing, it wasn't a big issue. I also tried using it to target bass on a ned rig, but it didn't quite have the power needed to get a good hookset, at least on the ned jig heads that I was using.

All in all, this is an excellent spinning rod for ultralight anglers who need an affordable rod that's lightweight and sensitive, and is capable of making accurate casts at relatively short distances.

Ideal for
  • Performance: Soft, fast tip for easy hooksets
  • Versatility: It's perfect for my spinners, spoons, jigs, and micro-crankbaits
  • Quality: Sensitive, balanced blank feels durable and well-designed
Not ideal for
  • Casting Ease: I wasn't able to get the casting distance I expected

Anglers who target small species with light tackle will find Temple Fork Outfitters' ultralight Trout and Panfish Rod will suit their needs. Designed with quality in mind, this affordable spinning rod allows anglers to fish a variety of lightweight lures like in-line spinners, spoons, and micro jigs. Key Features:

  • Graphite Rod Blank – The ultralight blank is lightweight and sensitive, allowing anglers to feel what the lure is doing and detect underwater structure.
  • Fast-Action Tip – The soft tip will enable anglers to make long casts and have easy hooksets.
  • Cork Grip – The attractive cork split-grip gives anglers a steady grip even when wet.

Matthew W. tested this product
This is an excellent ultralight and light power rod series in lengths from 5'6" to 7' for all panfish species, like crappie, trout, and small bass species. The rod lengths are great for those fishing from a in open water, as well as those fishing from shore in covered streams. These rods also come in 1-piece models or 2-piece models... Read more

Matt was so easy to work with. He answered all my questions and there were many. He offered detailed explanations for his recommendations and sold me exactly what I needed, nothing more and nothing less. He also gave me valuable information regarding the sport of fly fishing and not just the current equipment I was seeking to buy. It was an amazing experience. Thanks Matt!

Rylyn found a sale for the Douglas Sky G rod and recommended it. He said that this was the best rod in the market and so I bought it. We paired it with monic Trout Master fly line. I was not disappointed at all! The rod feels intuitive and natural to cast. I could cast more accurately and a longer distance than I ever did with my previous rod.

I recently purchased a pair of waders through Curated with Stefan’s help. They were very helpful and able to get me exactly what I was looking. Items were perfect for my price range and the days by the streams/lakes that I will spend my time at. I enjoy researching products on my own, and was worried Curated might take the fun out of things, but this service is great for people like me also. Whether you have an idea of what you want, or are just getting started looking I would highly recommend Curated, and Stefan!

Found a great deal on Curated for a Daiwa fishing pole. My sales representative, Josh, was very helpful in answering questions before the order. Even more impressive was how he and Curated responded when the rod was delivered broken (not their fault). They immediately helped guide me through the return process which provided me the confidence that this would be resolved without issue. New rod is on the way and I have already ordered a second one!
