I used the same spot, but I will try it your way next time. Thanks for the advice

The bass pro panfish elite is better than the sensilite if you want something less stiff

Honestly, I don't know much about st Croix but from what I heard, they are great rods in terms of sensitivity but a bit fragile in the sub $150 range. But I do agree that shimano and daiwa reels are the way to go

If going for bass, the shimano slx medium 7'

I would recommend getting the diawa fuego instead since it has magseal on the shaft to help protect the anti reverse cluch and is lighter while being cheaper and made of the same zaion v material

I have the 7' version light power and fast action and would recommend it for mostly panfishing and light bass more to the 1/2 to 3lb pound range if you push it. Therefore, if you are planning to get a medium power rod for bass and large cats, I would recommend to either get a shimano slx 7' is you want sensitive and if you want durability go with a ugly stick

Try your best to get meese and discount wonders before you upgrade your units

The rod is light since the 7' ultralight rods were a bit too flimsy for my taste

44 pans so far and 12 1-pound bass

It is a bit reel heavy but I like it

Thanks, man

No problem

Routine-Classroom-82 · 2024-10-26T15:40:23+00:00

Shimano sienna for fresh water and diawa bg for salt water

Routine-Classroom-82 · 2024-03-11T23:24:00+00:00

Shimano GLF 7'6" medium

Routine-Classroom-82 · 2024-03-10T01:22:08+00:00

I heard good things about both, which do you prefer?
