I have 2 okuma celilio 6'6" ul rods I use both with Pfleuger Trion size 20 reels and 2lb trout sos line. Have one set up with #8 Aberdeen hook and very small slip float this is the one I use for live bait. Other rod is setup to throw jigs usually the panfish magnet. Use anywhere from 1/16 to 1/64 oz jighead. Just love fighting gills with ul rods and 2lb line. Makes them all feel like monsters!
