If you want to be able to tell if that's a branch your lure just passed over or a big branch then you don't want this rod . It's sensitive but not ultra sensitive. Using braided line helps but there are others out there that are much more sensitive . I can tell the difference between a bite and a rock but I probably have missed many fish because I misread the feel .If you want to cast your 1/16oz lure 50 yards you don't want this rod . If 15 yards will do this is a real bargain and this thing is a real treat .I paired my 1st one with a Zoom by Piscifun in a 500 size and it's balanced nicely . Not quite as balanced as my 4'6" ultralight Uglystik G2 with Lews Laser Lite size 20 but not bad at all .I have 2 of these and both seem to be about the same in quality and both arrived safely .The one in the photo is paired with a different brand reel but looks and feels about the same in hand .I plan on using this combo along banks that are difficult to get a decent cast with my baitcasters due to brush and cover .I like this rod so much I ordered a 4-6 ultralight for when I go wading in Swift Creek and such .Edit I took the day to go fishing just to compare rods . Baitcaster vs spinner reels but all the spinner rods being Micro Series be it 5'6"light vs light baitcaster or 4'6" ultralight vs 6' ultralight baitcaster .All 3 of the Micro Series that I own held their own against their contenders . The lights worked apples to apples except in sensitivity where the others won by a huge margin . Distance , accuracy , flex were ties . With the ultralight contest the Micro came within a couple of yards in distance cast but giving up 18" I actually give that win to the Shakespeare . Accuracy and flex were close but the much shorter one was harder to get as accurate but I'm sure in a few more trips that'll be equal as well .I'll be honest out of the plethora of rod and reel combos I have my new favorite is the 4'6" ultralight Micro Series rod and the reel I put on it . That thing will work anywhere I decide to go fishing and will cast anything I normally use as I very rarely go above 3/16 oz on my lures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, lightweight, and handles well
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2023
First, the rod came very well protected (see photos). It also had heavier plastic sheathing on the cork parts of the handle. I kept that on the gripping area because it felt fine and I usually get fish slime on my hands and it keeps the handle pristine. I usually use a long rod for crappie fishing ~9', so I had to get used to casting lightweight jigs with it (Pro tip: let go of the line well before the point you want the lure to land). At any rate, paired with a small reel and light line (I used 2 lb test), it worked quite well. Under load, it flexes nicely. All in all, a nice little rod for smaller fish, tight places, or little hands (note to self: get one for granddaughter).

Reviewed in Canada on June 16, 2020
Very good quality UL rod on budget. The Shakespear brand always makes quality long lasting material and this rod doesn’t disappoint. If you are looking for the most flexible and bendable UL rod out there this micro series is the one. At 7”6” feet this rod bends on a rock bass like if you have a massive musky on your line. Maybe a bit too flexible for my taste though. It came in a large box, very well protected. It is the first time they ship a rod with a large piece of cardboard glued around the end tip to protect it from breaking. Unfortunately I had to return because the rod came in 1 month late and I bought another one instead. Still, this rod is unbeatable for it’s price. You just need to take extra care of it because of the fine tip that is easily breakable.
