Ultralight trout rod

I plan to build a trout rod on NFC Delta 602 blank and use a 1000 size reel with 4 or 6 lbs Nanofil. I plan to use a 12 -6 reduction train with 4 runners.. If anyone has tried this I would like to hear how it worked for them.

Thanks
Jim

While I have not personally tried this, many here have, and it should work just fine. Perhaps others will chime in.

I have a European match rod that starts with a 10 mm reduction to 4 mm with my Shimano 2000 reel and 6 lb. limp mono it casts into next week. You should due no problems, 4 mm runners have been used on G Loomis 9 1/2 ft. light power steelhead rods for decades.
