No pics. I have 2 - 24" Genz Spring Bobber rod/reels that I use. Love the rods and reels but I replaced the the spring bobbers...they became loose and would spin around...with ones that I made from 36# wire leader and painted them with hi-vis vinyl model paint. Very sensitive and durable.

No sense for expensive rods and spinning reels for pan fish.  Any stiff short rod, spring bobber and a spooly reel will work fine.  I can hand line a fish up and drop the jig back down faster then any high price rod and reel my buddies use and it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.  I fish in a hut so wind has no bearing.

I have to say, I have a few freefalls, and I am going to go back to spinning reels.  I just am not a fan of them..
