The rods...Now build Matagi TWG-562XUL 0,2-1,0 gr line 1-2 lb :)
I can't wait to see the video! I'm going to be exploring my casting abilities this spring too.

With a rod that light, you might as well be using an al dente piece of spaghetti! Is it a solid blank or hollow?

Update for anyone still interested.

I was raving about the KTF spool in the 16 Aldebaran BFS. I had the pleasure of getting an Avail 16ALD15 spool for the Aldebaran...it is a good step better than the KTF in terms of casting light lures with ease. The spool is a little more wild (prefers gentle casts) but, it is noticably better than the KTF spool for casting the tiniest of lures and in tight quarters. I am also still running a "non-micro" bearing on the spool. It takes a familiar size bearing but, not for spools. It has the same bearing size as a knob bearing. Ive been looking for an upgrade to the stock bearing but, cannot find a suitable upgrade. I may order a ceramic (like boca) in the exact size I need. It will add some noise but, I really dont care. Im looking for performance baby
