Regarding creek fishing combos: I suggest going whole hog and going straight to ultralight. It's just more fun. 13 Fishing Defy Silver UL, Okuma Celilo UL, and Shimano Sensalite UL are all pretty well regarded ~$50 ultralight rods. TFO trout & panfish UL is kind of a gold standard in the $100 range. 5'6"-6'6" is the sweet spot. Daiwa has several really good $30-70 1000 series spinning reels. Find the thinnest line you can find and go catch all the fish!

Species (In order) Spotted Sunfish (Lepomis Punctatus) Bluegill (Lepomis Machrochirus) Longear Sunfish (Lepomis Megalotis) Bluegill Again Longear Sunfish again. (A pretty big one too.) My favorite creek combo is the St. Croix panfish series. Usually partnered with a Shimano Sedona. Great combo that will last forever.
@Thermos017 Жыл бұрын
That bobber was in the kit for a reason. You can float your bait forever without snags. The fish don't know why it's staying at the same depth, they just see a tastey snack above the snags moving with the current. Bobber on, cast 10 to 15 feet upstream from the hole and float it in.

For tight accurate target areas I use Ugly Stick Dock Runner Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo. It is 3ft long with 6lbs test. Cost me less than $30. I use canned corn kernels as bait.

Light or Ultralight, no more that 5'. Bait- Spinner Baits like Blue Fox Vibrax or small Rooster Tails, Whopper Plopper or Choppo, or medium to small soft baits like a 3-4 Hellgrammite or craw. There is other options, but thats the basic. Also, to avoid a backlash, I've seen a lot of people using "triggerspin" or "underspin" closed-faced reels. They have a lower weight limit, but creek fish are usually on the smaller side anyway.

I personally go creek fishing with a 6 ft medium St. Croix Triumph rod with a shimano 3000 vanguard spinning reel with a T-shape handle for better grip. Although that depends on the bait you use, what your fishing for, and how much you want to put into it. As you have said, you don't need an spend a ton to catch fish, it's just nicer. I also recommend a solid backpack that is nice on the shoulders for terminal tackle because it goes quick on bad days at the creek.
