I found a great rod for this exact type of fishing. Its the Shakespeare Crappie Hunter. Its a 9 foot, 2 piece ultra light rod. I use it religiously for panfish, i even take it on my pike expeditions, becuase a 6 pund pike on this setup with 2-4 pund line is extremely fun.
Great article Bill. I've been trying to catch panfish here in MI this Oct. and have pretty much come up empty handed. I've been thinking of going with lighter lines 2-4 lbs. on some of my ultra light reels but it looks like I should go with longer rods like you suggested. This October has been colder than normal this year. It's been more like November weather. I really love the site, In-Fisherman,and I hope to gain valuable knowledge to equip me for fishing all species of fish.
Tom
