My Thoughts
The Abu Garcia Tournament Trophy Ultra Light rod is one of those rods that is fun to fish with. It is well balanced, light weight, and is nicely built. It cast well, has good amounts of absorption, ample backbone power, and a consistent power curve that makes fishing with it satisfying. It certainly is a good rod to add to one’s fishing tackle line up.
