Since I'm both old and old school, I rather like the old Mitchell 308s and 310ULs, have them on Berkley Trout Dough rods in 6'6" and 7'0" for panfish and little trout.
260, I too am old and old school and I love my 308s ( a couple of them I bought while in high school in the early '70s) and I have a 310 on a 24" jigging rod for ice fishing but for someone looking for a brand new ultralite reel the Presidents are very nice and a lot smoother than decades old 308s. In fact I'm thinking about buying 2-3 and giving my 308s a break this year.
