<p style="text-align: left;">I just got 2 New rods. An 8' 6" Okuma Celilo UL on Amazon for $33. And a 6' 6" microlight series bass pro label rod for 39.99. Both are excellent rods... the bass pro label microlights are from 5' up to 9' in 6" increments.</p>

I usually go bass fishing but prefer panfish. I've bin wanting a rod that can handle bass soft plastics like senkos and drop shoot, but still be able to cast out 1/16-1/8 jigs at least

<p>HEY SLIP,<br/> I BUY up old solid glass bait casters and spinning rods. I then strip em of everything , sand and finish the old blanks and turn em into spinning rods . Almost indestructible for sure and great for shore fishing in tight places . I originally made em for kids and would give em away to kids who needed one but now I sell most of em to adults........</p>

<p>last year was a fantastic learning experience for me. i was without my jon boat for most of the season and i used the kayak for my b'gill fishing at the local lake. when in the jon boat i love to take a widerange of reel, rod and line rigs depending on the type of fishing i will be doing. the kayak you learn to lighten your load and limit the rigs and tackle ya take fishing. through trial and error i ended up taking three setups</p>
<ul>
<li>5.5' Ul dropshot rig</li>
<li>5.5 ft UL slip…</li>

<ul>
<li>5.5' Ul dropshot rig</li>
<li>5.5 ft UL slip bobber rig</li>
<li>5.5' UL jigging rod</li>
</ul>
<p>all rigged with 50 series reels and superlines.</p>
<p>a great personal favorite brand of rod for me is the diawa spinmatic or the okuma Celilo UL</p>

<p>these rigs handled dozens of SMB and Pike up to 30" .... its all i fish with now.</p>
<p>this is all based on personal preference at times i love fishing with the long rods too but by the end of the day im back on the 5-5' UL</p>
