I have basically the same setup that I've used for panfish for many years and most people think that you are "over gunned" for panfish. Do yourself a favor and do not go cheap on the rod or reel. The difference in a quality 7 footer with a light, fast action, paired with a quality reel (with a good drag) means a much more enjoyable day on the water. Also, the tiny reels that some people use are usually the culprit when it comes to mono that will start to coil up when casting mono.

Do you use a fluorocarbon leader with the nanobraid
@greeneyesfromohio41034 ай бұрын
Small reels with small spools most definitely cause coils and twisted line….absolutely true. If your an avid fisherman quality gear is always a priority. If you go just a handful of times with the family or what not Walmart type stuff will be fine.

Try a Diawa "Kage" rod. They make a 7'1" ultra light. It has a soft tip like an ice rod, but it has great backbone for hook sets. They are absolutely a game changer. You can be fishing super finicky early/late cold water walleye with a jig and minnow and just as easily use it for panfish. If I lost all my other rods, and I have too many😂 this would be number 1 on my list to replace!

Thanks Jeremy for the info! Always value your opinion, I believe you are one of the best freshwater fishermen on the planet! Was on the fence about what pound nonofil to buy, think I'm gonna go with 8lb, I fish a lot around flooded timber for panfish in southern Iowa & think the little bit heavier nanofil will be the ticket for me. Thanks again for all you do for freshwater fishing!!👍👍 Danny W

It's all highly application specific from rods to reels to line to lures.

I love a longer rod for when I'm fishing with a bobber but when I want to feel the bite and I'm casting without a bobber I still prefer my 5' ultralight rod over a much longer rod. I followed around a school of crappie last summer and was making precise casts with my 5' rod. With a 7+ foot rod I feel like I can't feel the bite as well and my accuracy isn't as good when casting a light jig.

A short rod might work if fishing from a boat, but not so well when fishing from shore. A 7’ light action rod will definitely provide longer casts and greater hook-up percentage. Like with anything else in life, the more practice and experience, the better you become with it.
