Choose the 602XUL for 0.5–3 g, the 602UL for 0.8–4 g, the 602L for 1.5–4.5 g or the 602ML for 2–6 g. All are 1.83 m long, so choose by the lures you intend to cast rather than by rod length.
The manufacturer rates the 602XUL for 1–4 lb, the 602UL for 1.5–4 lb, the 602L for 2–5 lb and the 602ML for 2–6 lb line. Check this alongside the lure rating when matching your line to the chosen rod.
The moderate-action 24T carbon blanks have a progressive bend, which the supplier says supports long casts with micro lures and helps keep fish hooked during the fight. Choose the model whose lure range covers your intended weights to use this light-lure design.
Every model separates into two sections and has a manufacturer-specified transport length of 101 cm. A cloth bag is supplied, so plan for at least this length when choosing rod luggage.

The Abu Garcia Carabus Exquisite spinning rods are designed for freshwater micro lure fishing. Their slim 24T carbon blanks have a responsive ultralight (UL) action and a progressive bend that helps cast very light lures further and keep fish hooked during the fight. All four models are 1.83 m long and have two sections, so the main choice is the lure range and power that suit your setup.
The 602XUL reaches the lowest lure weight, while the 602ML accepts the heaviest lures in this family. The 602UL and 602L provide overlapping ranges between them. Choose around your intended lure weight, then check the corresponding line rating.
Model | Lure rating | Power | Line rating | Rod weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
602XUL | 0.5–3 g | Extra Ultra Light | 1–4 lb | 167 g |
602UL | 0.8–4 g | Ultra Light | 1.5–4 lb | 170 g |
602L | 1.5–4.5 g | Light | 2–5 lb | 71 g |
602ML | 2–6 g | Medium Light | 2–6 lb | 272 g |
The manufacturer specifies a moderate action across all four models and describes their bend as progressive. Moving up the range increases the supported lure weight, but gives up the lowest casting weights of the lighter-rated models.
Seven stainless steel KL-Type guides, including the tip, guide the line. Their anti-tangle micro-guide design helps reduce line tangles during casting. A lightweight IPS-type reel seat holds the reel, while the ergonomically shaped, high-quality cork grip provides the hand contact for casting and retrieving.
The rods have a Red/Black finish and separate into two sections for transport. The manufacturer's transport length is 101 cm for every model, so allow this space in your rod luggage. Each rod is supplied in a cloth bag.
