Suggestions for a pan fish rod and reel.

Want to buy a good pan fish rod. Emailed support at Abu Garcia asking for suggestions but have yet to hear back from them for a few days. So thought I would come here and ask. If possible could I get a spin and bait set up suggestions? Thanks in advance.

My favorites are the Daiwa Spinmatic or Presso UL rods. The Spinmatics, especially, aren't ridiculously pricey and they are pretty good rods. I love panfishing with those ultralights.

How much do you want to spend? On the more budget oriented side I'd go with an Okuma Celilo 7' ultralight pair with a Pflueger Trion in the 20 size. If you want to spend more, look at a Fenwick HMG 7' ultralight with a Penn Fierce III 1000. Both will also be fine combos for smaller stream trout.

Much like Richard Gene the Fishing Machine, I am a huge fan of the Eagle Claw spinning rods for pan fish. The "Featherlight" rods will last you years with little to no care. Action is great too. Very affordable so you can have 4-5 ready to go. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Eagle-Claw-Featherlight-2pc-Spinning-Rod/16767729
Regarding reels, any good spinning reel is fine, but check out this article. My brother just dropped some $$ on KastKing reels and loves them. I am a Abu Garcia fan. https://infisherman.com/best-ultralight-spinning-reel/

Before spending a ton of cash. Buy a 20 to 40 dollar 8ft flyrod. A 20 dollar mini oven bake real. Line with 4 to 6 lb test and have a blast. Every fish feels big on a limber flyrod. That is the set up I have used for yrs.
