The Best Rod and Reel for Panfish

We get asked all the time what is the best rod and reel for panfish. Panfishing is a popular activity in the North country, especially during the spring when the lakes are losing their ice. Over the years, there have been numerous innovations in panfish lures, including hard baits and plastics. However, besides the lure, there is another piece of equipment that can greatly improve your panfishing success: the rod and reel setup. In this article, I will share with you the rod, reel, and line setup that I believe is amazing and has revolutionized panfishing.

Thanks Jeremy for the info! Always value your opinion, I believe you are one of the best freshwater fishermen on the planet! Was on the fence about what pound nonofil to buy, think I'm gonna go with 8lb, I fish a lot around flooded timber for panfish in southern Iowa & think the little bit heavier nanofil will be the ticket for me. Thanks again for all you do for freshwater fishing!!👍👍 Danny W

Try a Diawa "Kage" rod. They make a 7'1" ultra light. It has a soft tip like an ice rod, but it has great backbone for hook sets. They are absolutely a game changer. You can be fishing super finicky early/late cold water walleye with a jig and minnow and just as easily use it for panfish. If I lost all my other rods, and I have too many😂 this would be number 1 on my list to replace!

Love my 8 foot eyecon for crappies. Want to get 7'6" acc crappie stix as well. Love the long rods

I have basically the same setup that I've used for panfish for many years and most people think that you are "over gunned" for panfish. Do yourself a favor and do not go cheap on the rod or reel. The difference in a quality 7 footer with a light, fast action, paired with a quality reel (with a good drag) means a much more enjoyable day on the water. Also, the tiny reels that some people use are usually the culprit when it comes to mono that will start to coil up when casting mono.

Do you use a fluorocarbon leader with the nanobraid

@greeneyesfromohio4103 3 ай бұрын

Small reels with small spools most definitely cause coils and twisted line….absolutely true. If your an avid fisherman quality gear is always a priority. If you go just a handful of times with the family or what not Walmart type stuff will be fine.

@@user-bc7ti9uv8g - I personally find anything other then classic mono line is overkill for panfish.

Whats a good knot to use with nano?

It's all highly application specific from rods to reels to line to lures.

I love a longer rod for when I'm fishing with a bobber but when I want to feel the bite and I'm casting without a bobber I still prefer my 5' ultralight rod over a much longer rod. I followed around a school of crappie last summer and was making precise casts with my 5' rod. With a 7+ foot rod I feel like I can't feel the bite as well and my accuracy isn't as good when casting a light jig.

A short rod might work if fishing from a boat, but not so well when fishing from shore. A 7’ light action rod will definitely provide longer casts and greater hook-up percentage. Like with anything else in life, the more practice and experience, the better you become with it.
