Thread: Want to focus on pan fishing this year

Question for you guys. What would your advice to do with my 5'6" light action ugly stick? It's rated 1/16 oz to 3/8 oz with 4-8 lb test. Use it for casting road runner lures? Do shorter rods have their place? If so, under what circumstance? and how would you use them? Thanks for the feedback!


P.S. Also, I was thinking of spinning reel for the trout slayer UL rod I got. What do you guys think about the Okuma RTX 30S reel? Seems like a good value for the money.


P.S.S. Further inspection, also have me seeing people here like the Pflueger President reel as well. Perhaps the 25X or 30X?
