I started building last year and have done all my rods as KR concept-- it's what was hot at the time and it suits my needs.

I'm building my first ultralight and I'm wondering if KR Concept still is a good choice there. I just picture the way the line looks on my regular rods as I'm casting, and I'm starting to think that maybe as the lure weight gets closer to zero, the line flapping might be a problem. I know my store-bought ultralight's line moved around a lot more than my heaver rods do.

I wonder if the whole "rapid choke" thing is going to become a hindrance when I've only got a 1/32 oz jig at the end of the line. I picture the line flopping all over hte place in between the first guide and the reel. Has anybody here done KR Concept on an ultralight rod like this that can speak up on it?

It actually works even better as you go to lighter line and lighter lure weights.

I've done a 7' ultra lite and it is so smooth in is amazing how it will case. I sold someone on the concept right after he tried mine.

May your line be tight and your beverages be cold!

I also have built ultra lights using Kigan's high frame spinning guides with rapid choke. Kigan's new high frames are the same height as Fuji's KR guides.
