I have a St. Croix Premier 5'6" light action and an Avid 6' light action that I use for bream occasionally (they are primarily crappie rods), but my favorite has to be my 5' Falcon Ultralight. It has a Shimano Sedona 500FD spooled with 2lb. test Yo-Zuri Hybrid, and it's just a fantastic setup for having a ball with fish of any size. Hook a 2.5lb. crappie on this, and you'll think you have a world record on the line :p.

Most think it's a bit on the pricey side for a bluegill setup, but I just have so much more fun when I'm using quality gear. The rod has enough backbone to handle larger fish, and the drag on the Sedona is excellent too; I landed a very healthy 6lb. largemouth on 2lb. test last summer after a 10 minute fight to keep it out of the docks. Hooked it on a tuffy minnow too lol.
