  • Scroll DOWN for product links! Does the perfect do-it-all panfish rod really exist? The answer is, of course, no. There are too many techniques that work well for panfish to cover them all with one rod, however, there IS one rod that does a pretty good job of covering as many as possible and that's what I'm breaking down in this video.

    If you’re on a budget, the Bass Pro Shops Elite Panfish rod is a steal at $79.00. Lot of great choices with lengths, power, and actions.
    I agree with the 2000 size reels. Love my Daiwa Kage 2000. Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻

    I prefer using an UL or L with 1000 or 2000 reel and 6 lb braid maximum, but each person has their own preferences that work for them. Great video, very informational 👍

    Love it, good info and it is similar to my experience. I have a SC panfish series rod, but I don't use it anymore as I found my legend x in ML is better in every way, which is also my main walleye rod. There is no benefit to getting a super light jelly rod unless you can't figure out how to keep a fish pinned, and you have things other than rod to worry about if that is the case. The more sensitivity the better on panfish, it can help the experienced angler tell between a bump and a bite.

      Right on! A good quality rod is key for sure.

    About any light action rod you got will do, don’t use line over 6lb. That’s my opinion 👍

    • @calebwistad
      @calebwistad  2 місяці тому

      It will, but there are definitely ones that will work better than others.

    Another informative video. Excellent content and explanation of the details. Why do you not recommend a braid mainline tied to a fluorocarbon leader?

    • @calebwistad
      @calebwistad  2 місяці тому

      Thanks! I do recommend tying the braid to the flouro but just not with an FG knot on the lighter line.

      Are those Diawa?

    • @zveryok1
      @zveryok1 4 дні тому

      ​@calebwistad Well Daiwa is Japanese but not really JDM. Yamaga Blanks, Tenryu, Evergreen are your top dogs. Evergreen being the best ultralight in the world with the price tag that shows it.
      Try Tenryu Lunakia 6'10. Sharp, weighs 2 oz, not a noodle at all. Very, very sensitive.
      Alternatively, Yamaga Blanks Blue Current or Blue Current III lines. Blue Current is the higher end with much better blanks and torzite guides. Will only run you $300 or so. Blue Current III is more budget friendly but still amazing. Better than the best US ultralights.

      @@calebwistadno ….different manufactures ,,,,ie Japanese domestic market ,,,jdm …great deals now as yen is a good rate to dollar. Troutmagnetman here on utube got me interested. These rods will also handle bass that you may catch when panfish fishing. You would like the shimano soare xr or my favorite..tenryu lunakia 6.10 medium light tubular tip.

      It’s just the sizing for spinning reels in general, sort of like 1500, 2500 etc for pickups.
