Glass noodle rods have a nice slow action perfect for fishing the mini jig. Kencor still makes it's rods out of glass but most ultra-lite rods made are now made out of graphite. I have wrapped several ultra-lite spinning rods using fly blanks and I love these rods. The first fly rod I wrapped as a spinner was a 8' 5" 5wt. This was about 8 years ago and at the time I had planned on using just for those rare occasions when I would fish for trout but I had so much fun fishing this rod that I began using it in the surf for corbina and perch. I also began using it when I fished LMB. I ended up breaking it while taking it out of my truck and I immediately wrapped another one. I also wrapped a 7 wt. I have tons of fish on these rods including largemouth bass up to 12 lbs and legal + halibut. It's amazing what you can land on 4lb on UL long stick. I would recommend wrapping a fly blank to anyone looking for a long UL I used Amtak blanks which I bought for $25 and includes a life time warranty on the blank. You just can't go wrong.
If you don't wrap your own rods and you don't want to spend a lot of money on having a wrapped a good alternative would be to take a looke at the some UL crappie rods. They are designed for fishing mini jigs and you won't have much trouble finding one in the length you are looking for.
