When fishing artificial lures for Panfish I use a balanced bobber along with a 10 foot spinning rod. The bobbers can be weighted with solder causing the bobber to float in a vertical position. In the case of a up bite the bobber take a horizontal position.
The bobber is fixed to the line with silicone tubing. Fixing the bobber to the line allows more natural fall of the artificial lure. I fish this rig down to ten feet over weeds.Name:  IMG_2502.JPG
