Hey Sprkplug If you can stand up, bend your arm and then move your forearm from 2 oclock to 10 oclock you are flyfishing...maybe a little oversimplified but not by much. TFO is a good product and I remember a post on the thread you're referring to about the importance of Quality line!!! Remember in fly fishing you are casting the line... the fly is just along for the ride. As far as weight if you are SURE panfish are going to be your main if not only target a 4-5 wt rod will do fine and make you grin like a gopher when you catch a nice bull BG. Also the reel is of minimal importance in your case if it will hold some line thats good enough imo. Goood Luck and have fun
