I have the 7ft. 1pc. St. Croix Panfish series rod paired with a Plueger President XT limited edition spinning reel ( last years model), the 25 size. The rod weighs about 3 oz and the reel comes in around 7oz. So far it has been a pleasure to fish with. I really do like the braid with this setup, no “eye singing” so far like you get with a bait-casting rod and braided line. An 8in Gill puts a nice bend in the rod!
