I am not slaying them but am getting better, and having fun doing it. I bought two new rods this past winter; a St Croix Panfish 6' and a Leland TCB 6.5'. I really can't say which I prefer. The TCB seems to have more back bone and may cast a bit further. Both are rigged with President 25s and 4 lb high viz line. Yesterday the shell cracker seemed to bite softer but fought harder than the bluegill...My imagination?

I use to think landing catfish on ultralight tackle was fun, now I look at it as down time and bent hooks.
