I am looking for an all purpose casting rod for small stream smallmouth fishing.  I don't want anything heavier than a ML, because I will be throwing 1/8 oz. lures on it a lot.  Because of the tight quarters on these streams 6'6" is too long as well. The two I am interested in are the quantum PT Tour 6'4" ML and the Superlite PT 6'3" ML.  I am hoping someone has handled both rods and can tell me which has a faster action.

If no one can help with this (and I know that's highly possible) then I'm going custom, so please, no other suggestions (though you guys have good ones!)

I have both the rods in longer lengths and enjoy fishing the superlite more I would say. Both are great rods tho, and you wont be disappointed with either one.

To bad you werent at the FLW the last 3 days, they had the Superlites for $89

Cabelas has had the Superlites on sale for less than $80 for a while now.

IK but there is not a big selection of actions and powers

Ended up going custom. Not too fond of the ACS reel seat on the superlite, and just decided the ml action moderate taper was too soft for an all purpose rod. Ordered a 6'4" MXF rod with a 7" split pistol grip and a regular Fuji seat from G Blanks rods. Going to pair it with a Shimano Citica 200e7 and 10lb YoZuri Hybrid. Should be done in a few weeks and should be awesome for all my light baitcaster needs.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but there is no Citica 200e7. There's a Citica 200e and a Curado 200e7.
