Ice fishing baitcasting reel....
matzilla:
Smaller size would allow for more sensitivity and grip options....a baitcaster built this way would be a perfect fit for crappie dipping rods too

i think i paid $50 for a small low pro pfleuger i forget the model. have it on a 36" mackinaw rod with spiral guides. pretty much the only rod i use for pike, lakers and burbot.

The rods of course. Back when I was looking for a bait casting set-up, there were pretty much broom stick with like two line guides. Then there was the Dave Genz Gold rod for like a cheap $100 and some change.
A child fishing rod was a better choice. Barbie or Snoopy...LOL.
Nowadays there could be quality youth bait casting rods that will get the job done wonderfully for $20 but they'll be at about 4' long to maybe 5' long. There were even short 3' bass rods that existed for a long time too, Diawa Triforce comes to my mind. If you want better specs or quality custom made route.
