Another lower end rod that will work is the panfish Elite from bass pro shops . I use the Browning "Airstream "as well as the Okuma Cellio . All will do excellent on 1/32 with 4 lb. line . Have never tried 2 lb. line .

I has a TSS and a browning Airstream and like them both. Also have a couple of other rods that do well with 2lb line of different types. I also have a 5’6” Fenwick that gets a lot of play. Point is, there’s a lot to choose from. Take a little time and handle what has your interest, WITH A REEL ATTACHED, before you buy. A couple of my rods cast a jig a long ways with just a flick of the wrist. I use the 5’6” rods a lot cuz I fish tight cover and longer rods smack branches, and I don’t need to beat up my favorites. Remember, happiness is where you find it. Keep us posted.

I've used 2 pound SOS line with the Celilo. Worked fine. Even pulled in some bass with it.

And I forgot to add that’s a good lookin dinner there eagle, I’ll take some of those.

I am looking for the same type of rod. I presently make do with 6 -6.5' medium, fast rods that have accumulated over the years with Pflueger President 25 and 4lb test. They do ok, not great with 1/16 jigs but I would like to do better and also go to 1/32. I will check out the TCB. Have any of you tried a Temple Fork or a BPS Pan fish elite? Seems to be problems with TF but maybe its guys like me that never had a UL.

Temple Forks makes good stuff and has outstanding customer service. I have owned two of their fly rods and one spinning rod. I would probably pick the TCB but would happily fish with Temple Forks.
