Thread: Few questions/help on a rod/reel setup plus lures.

So Im looking to get into this whole panfish section of fishing now. Im a bass fisher but when they turn off, perch start for me.

Questions are:

1. What sized rod should I use? 6'?
2. Ultralite or lite?
3. What kind of lures? I have some beetle spins and some crappie magnets already. They were using 1/16oz hair jigs with a bobber today and catching them. Any suggestions on jigs/lures?
4. What about line size? I have a small spinning reel Id use already load with Trilene 6#, too heavy?

Thanks!

Anything else, Id appreciate it.
