I am not much of a fisherman nor do I have much experience. I have had fun with two Shakespeare combos. I found both at Wally World. The Crappie Hunter for about $32.00, a 9' rod & the little Ugly Stick Panfish combo for $28.00, about 4.5'. I put 6lb power pro on both. Both have made fishing for 9" bream exciting. I have yet to decide which is my favorite.
Now when a 6lb LMB comes & tries to take my 5" BG off the hook, it becomes VERY exciting.
