I rigged up my 5 1/2' Eagle Claw Featherlight glass rod and did some sunnies this evening. Eagle Claw still makes that rod and now it has a more modern handle and Bass Pro has a knockoff that is almost identical to the older model I have that they call Micro Lite Glass. Once the gills get to 6" and more they give that rod a very nice bend. Really fun to fight panfish with and the sensitivity isn't too bad either. The 5 1/2 footer handled 2# GAMMA with a 1/64 oz jig head just fine.
