Im looking to pick up a new ultralight rod for trout fishing rivers this spring. Anyone have any good rods I should take a look at?

Quality for the money, I'd say go with an Eagle Claw Powerlight or Fenwick Eagle GT.

I have the 5'6" ML Powerlight and have been using it very heavily since March last year. Have landed tons of fish with it from 4" bluegills to a 6 pound 1 ounce largemouth. Excellent lifting power with the IM-7.

I have an older 5' L Fenwick Eagle II that I take with me while basically stream trout fishing. Flexible rod and light. Has the power to land some bigger trout, such as a 4 pound rainbow, and have fun with smaller baits and lures while targeting river smallies and panfish.

Check out the new Ugly Stik GX2 Ultra Light.

I picked one up at Sports Authority and they are super sensitive, have great strength and at a very fair price.

I have about 5 different ultra lights and really like the GX2

What is your price range? I would recommend taking a look at some St. Croix and G Loomis Ultralight rods. G Loomis will put you back a bit more than the St.croix. I really like the St.Croix premier series and they also have a trout fishing line if you checkout their website.

Hi,
Checkout the graphite micro light rods from Bass Pro.
Just got the 4' 6" one (other sizes available) and reasonably priced.
Will handle 1/64 to 1/8 lures.
Has fast action and a fast taper.
Friend got one last year and let me try it and I really liked it.
