I enjoy fishing herring with an ultra-lite.You can use small castmasters, hopkins, and the like. Even a small jighead with a twistertail.Fish them slow and low
But most of the time nothing beats a herring rig.Get a little bit stiffer rod, like a medium action ,10 lb test line and connect a 1 or 2 ounce jig or sinker to the bottom for weight.Sometimes the current is running to hard to get away with the ultra-lite.I fish Magnollia most of the time for herring and you need the extra weight to get you down to the fish that a ulta-lite cant handle.
The medium action rod still lets you have plenty of fun especially when you have a couple on at a time

I hope this helps, and maybe i will see you out there when they arrive in force......
