> https://www.lews.com/en/shop/rods/wmcsrI own both the 5ft6 and 7ft, a shorter rod is what you want if you are doing lots of fishing in places with overhanging tree branches and such so it doesn't limit your casting techniques. Long for everything else. I have caught countless 3-4lb bass on the 7ft with zero issues at all, crappie rods have a softer tip so you can fish light jigs, but enough backbone for crappie(which obviously get bigger than other panfish.) It's just a good versatile blank with a comfortable long foregrip. I've mostly been throwing small hardbaits on it last year and it's extremely good for that. Once a fish gets hooked they don't get off because the rod absorbs everything. Only downside is the guides aren't really made for braid, but I never use braid for light line fishing anyways. Trilene XL 6lb is ridiculously strong yet still limp. Also, the first guide is very small compared to other rods so it's only really meant to be used with a smaller reel like a 1000/2000 size. I'd pick a Daiwa Regal, Legalis, or Exceler in 1000 size for that, whichever is on sale. If you wanted a more expensive rod you could get a TFO trout/panfish but I haven't personally used one of those yet. The TFO professional PRO S 702-1 Light power is probably an even better rod for versatility because it's a bit stiffer, but it only comes in 7ft and it's an ounce heavier than it needs to be.
