Everybody have personal favorite rods and reels. Here's what I like very much .... 7ft St. Croix ulta-light rod and Shimano Symeter 1500 - 2500 openface reel. I also use Bass Pro Shop Micro-lite 7 ft 6 inch Ultra-light rod. Its reasonable price but LOT of bluegills for me! Same reel Shimano Symeter. I like 7 ft Bass Pro Shop 7 ft LIGHT rod for 6 lbs test line on live bait around covers. Do not use tiny reels! Good size reel like hold 120 yards of 6 lbs test line that you use 4 lbs test line for easier to cast small lure farther!

My best rig, for me, is a G-Loomis SJR 720 6' MAG-LIGHT EX-FAST ACTION with a mounted Abu Garcia cardinal 5 ball bearing, infinite anti reverse, ultralite series. I use 2# to a max 6# test fluro carbon, with great success. If they breath on my jig or minnow, I got' em. Can hold it all day and rarely have tennis elbow.

TFO makes some nice inexpensive fly rods and reels ...I've got a 6'9 one weight ..a 6'o 2 weight that are fun ultralight fly rods ...also the new TFO 1/2 wt paired with the BVK -0- reel is UL at its best with 1 - 3 wt lines ..
Just noticed marks post re the Thramer 444 4'4 4 wt ..just got his 7'o DXSB for a 4 weight ..Id love to own that triple 4s tho ...big fan of UL and Banty rods. .recently got a gem ..Dorber Lil Streamer 4'6 what a fine little wand it'll cast a 1 thru 6 and that aint a misprint either
Also TFO put out a Loomis signature combo spin/fly 6'0 rod nice soft flex rod for the price ..
