Abu Garcia Carabus Exquisite 602UL 1.83m 0.8–4g 170g Moderate

Abu Garcia Carabus Exquisite 602UL – precision micro-lure fishing

The Carabus Exquisite 602UL (Ultra Light) is a specialized 1.83 m spinning rod built for anglers who demand accuracy and control when casting micro lures between 0.8 and 4 g. Its progressive moderate action and lightweight 24T carbon blank deliver responsive performance without sacrificing casting distance.

Progressive action for micro lures

The thin, responsive blank flexes progressively through the cast, loading efficiently even with the lightest lures. This moderate action keeps fish securely hooked during the fight and provides the finesse needed to work tiny crankbaits, spinners, and soft plastics with precision. At just 170 g, the rod remains comfortable during extended sessions targeting perch, trout, and other finesse species.

Quality components for ultra-light fishing

Stainless steel KL-type anti-tangle micro guides minimize line friction and prevent tangles, while the ergonomic cork handle with IPS reel seat offers a secure, natural grip. Every component is chosen to balance sensitivity with durability, making this rod a reliable tool for true ultra-light fishing in freshwater environments.

Choose the right variant

The Carabus Exquisite spinning rod series offers four power ratings to match your target species and lure weight:

• 602XUL 0.5–3 g – extra ultra light for the smallest micro lures; ideal for cautious trout and ultra-finesse presentations

• 602UL 0.8–4 g – ultra light for micro crankbaits, tiny spinners, and soft plastics; versatile choice for perch, small trout, and panfish

• 602L 1.5–4.5 g – light power for slightly heavier micro lures; suits chub, ide, and more aggressive perch

• 602ML 2–6 g – medium light for small jigs and lightweight hardbaits; handles larger trout and light pike setups
