What size jigs are you throwing? I have several St. Croix rods in UL (Legend Elite Panfish Series, Panfish Series, and Triumph Travel). They're all different and I fish them differently. Also, St. Croix is releasing the updated version of the Panfish Series rod literally any day now. Might want to wait and take a look at that. Or get the old series on clearance if you prefer that one.
