>>2718341i think youd be best off with a light rod in the 6-7 foot range, s 1500 or 2000 size reel, and some lures in the 1 to 2 inch range, and maybe a few in the 3 inch.
softplastics for panfish are a good option, small crank baits, spoons, inline spinners, and even flies can be used, as well as live bait, but bait is annoying.
do you have a budget in mind?
