I have the perch rod it's awesome!! ... that being said I'd recommend seeing if you can find one made last year if possible before they were mass produced by clam they're not nearly as nice now three of six that i picked up at a local store the other day had guides that were out of alignment.
I've taken a liking to the 24" Springbobber rod.....has a good feel and the spring bobber detects even the lightest of bites.
