Cast and retrieve, light line, UL gear, loose drag......hang on. Shallow to medium depths are best covered with the 1/64 and lighter. , 1/32 to 1/16 will cover the rest of the water column. If you are fishing shallow you will be ticking the bottom some anyway, and a twitching type retrieve close to the bottom will mimic all kinds of goodies that Panfish are looking to eat, and again....hold on.
