Ultra light Rig - your preferences?

[Cowboypirate]

When you say "spin cast" do you mean she prefers a closed-face reel? If so, that will be tough because I have yet to find a reel of that design that handles very light lines well. They tangle inside the housing - badly and often. They are designed to use 8# to 10# lines, which most of them come with. And none of them these days are made very well, besides.

There are many good options with regular open-faced spinning reels. You'd be looking for a "10" or "15" size reel for ultralight. (Companies use either a zero or five ending for their size systems.)

Looking for open faced. I still have a few closed face zebcos but they have not seen action since I was a teenager.  Ya I worded that poorly. 

Been looking at the Plugfer (spelling) presidential reels. Both my current utralight rods are 5ft. Was looking to go to longer - maybe a 6.5 ft rod for these new additions.
