I picked up a couple berkeley amp ice rods last year that I really like, pretty sensitive with lots of back bone.
I've have a 27" Fenwick Elite-tech in light, and a St Croix ultralight in 28" that I use for perch and gills. Love 'em both. Fishing 13 makes some nice ones too. I wouldn't go heavier than a medium light for perch, just JMO.
