You truly have to look into a Thorne Bros rod for the ultimate panfish rod. The power noodle is the best rod on the market for small lures and sunfish/sunfish. Possible the most sensitive, solid grafite rod on the market is the Quiver Stick. I used mine today and what a difference it made over the Panfish Sweetheart. I could feel AND see the bites, BTW, they weren't very agressive.

I've enjoyed both C@be1a5 combos the GM combos. Not the highest quality but for the money they have higher end features. Just have to watch the guides for straightness.

Sorry for the delay.

I've got a Fish Eagle combo that I picked up two seasons ago. It's one of my goto rods for jigging crappie spoons. It has nice drag, is sensitive and loads up well. I looked at the Fish Eagle II's this year but the quality isn't quite as nice considering the prices are the same between the Fish Eagle and Fish Eagle II. AS for the XMLTi combos I don't think you could go wrong, but there a little more money.
