Do you love big bluegill?
Ultra-light or Light for my new gill setup.
Alright, I am new here so I'm sure this has probably been discussed. I'm looking at getting one or two new rods for gill fishing. I have never owned a rod under Medium light power so I wanted to get some advise. I'm really not fixed to a budget but don't want to get crazy, say max around $250.
I'm looking at St. Croix panfish series or avid series rods. I just don't know what power I want. Will I be upset going UL for general bluegill fishing?
Any other recommendations? I'm a big fan of St. Croix so I think I'm sticking to that but persuade me otherwise if you would like, I'm all ears (or eyes).

Exactly! I get the "look" if I even mention something about getting a new item. Now I just get it, stash it and it become part of the landscape. when you have so much stuff it all blends in. The great thing is I have a store and I bring stuff home to my wive and load her closest full. When see says anything I just open the door and say "look"

Tried out my new light action 6'6" Cheap-O rod today. Put on a rear drag shimano loaded with 4# and with a lipless crankbait I hooked up with a one pound channel cat. It was fun. No bluegills today, left early b/c of wind and the water cooled considerably from last week. Only exciting part was the cat and the 7' gator watching from 40 feet away.

Steve, although ultra light fishing is a blast, you'd most likely need more for the gator!!

I'll leave the gators for the young guys, this one is bigger than I can reach around.
