Can anybody recommend a store in Toronto where there is some selection for ultra light rod/reels?

gear recommendations would also be appreciated

thanks

If you can get a hold of it, I'd recommend the Fenwick HMG 5'6" GM56UL-M-2. This is the rod I use for all panfish and small brookies. It'll bend to the hilt and is too much fun. The only downside is that it has a Tennessee reel seat (two rings) which I don't mind, but I know some people shy away from.

Bass pro or Sail should have a reasonable selection.

I have a 3 of them:

- one 5 1/2 ft for closer range fishing
- one 6 1/2 ft for moderate range fishing
- one 8 ft for longer range fishing.

I love catching small and large fish on them. I found one at wallmart at a good price.

If you are not going for utility grade rods you can get them in the $40-60 range. If you go for quality the fenwick is a good recommendation.

You may want to apir this with a 500 - 1000 size reel.

A good cheap one is the diawa celilo, available on amazon for 30-40$, variety of sizes.

Sail is a good store. My ultralight set up consists of an Ugly Stik Elite paired with a Sedona 1000. Pretty happy with this set up.
