Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I'm looking for a couple of long rods, 10-12 footers. Preferably 2 piece rods, not 3. Mainly for dipping and cork fishing. They need to have the power to rip pounders out of weeds, but have a soft tip. I had a Cabelas match rod that was great, but it weighed a ton. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Trav

Wally Marshall puts out one of the best ultra-light 2 piece rods on  the market. Sensitive but got backbone when you need it. I have one and use if for float fishing or long drop shooting… excellent rod… won't put a dent in your wallet either. They used to be available from Bass Pro Shops but I think they parted ways. Google it and you'll get loads of choices… I think he makes them up to 14 feet or so. You won't be sorry.
