Gotta agree with you about those 1 lb sunfish. But if they were only 3 inches long, they probably would fight like a sausage...

Oh, I can't resist..

UL means you are fishing with gear that make landing fish a challenge.

2 lb test in that context isn't UL if you are fishing for 3" panfish...

They are also not wobbly, which is my pet peeve when using most types of ultralight rods. I found the TSRs too wo...
