Hello Everyone,
I have been getting the fishing bug lately and I am now thinking ultralight. I currently have 20 year old Sage 5 and 7 weight graphite rods. I am thinking that I would like a fairly short 1-3 weight for Austin's urban creeks and small bass and sunfish.
Yesterday I purchased a TFO TFG FWSF 601-2 FLy/Spin rod to use with both fly and ultralight spinning reels.
For a dedicated ultralight flyrod I am studying this forum and the fiberglass forum to see what I might like best. I can see that there is a lot of good information here.

Welcome! I've been very happy with my TFO Signature 6' 2wt and 7'6" 3wt rods. Great rods at good prices IMO.

Welcome, I fish a fair number of Austin's urban creeks, mostly Onion, but I've taken a crack at just about all of them with enough flow. My favorite rods are 3 weight glass at 7'6" and under, although I do have a 7'9" TFO Finesse 3 wt that is sweet. Waiting for the epoxy to harden on my first glass 2 weight.

Welcome from another Austinite! There's lots of Central Texans here.
I too had Sage 6wt and 9wt for 20 years before finding a 0wt and this forum.
Thus started my slippery slide into ULFF.
