Thread: Another Combo comparison

This is the time of year to try out rods and reels I haven’t fished in a while .
This evening I got to fish a couple minutes past an hour at the Town Pond .
The weather was decent, 49-50 degrees high , wind 7-14mph NNW .

Combo included a St Croix original Panfish series 6’9” ULF paired with a Shimano Soare bb 2000sspg , and a second generation Panfish Series 6’ ULF with an old Shimano Sahara 500fe , both with 2# Floroclear line .
Lures were .87g , 4.6mm tungsten Brad jigs with a size 10 hook , with a Mini Trout Magnet body .

I fished each combos until I caught a couple fish with each , then I put the Soare bb 2000sspg on the 6’ newer model Panfish series rod to finish out , catching four more fish, for a total of eight in 62 minutes .
I liked the six footer better than the 6’9” for twitching, even though the 6’9” cast fine and was plenty sensitive. The six footer better than, with the 2000 reel felt lighter and was more comfortable fishing IMO . The longer rod felt a little front heavy .
The longer rod extends the ends of the pivot point , putting more pressure on my wrist and elbow .
Only one bluegill , my first caught today .
I you guys get tired of my trip reports let me know and I’ll do a weekly report instead of individual reports .
