what rod for gills

[mrjohnny]

just what weight rod are you guys using for these gill fish?

I been using medium action and it seems to be doing the trick for me...So

tell me your action type..

"L" Ice Blues for pannies, inexpensive and work well. Not sure that rod weight matters all that much. Being able to sense the bite, whatever your technique/set up preference is all that matters in the end

I have 2 super ul rods and 2 light rods i use for gills. The super ul ones are great, and i picked them up at the baitshop for i think 9$ each.

Saving up for TB Quiverstick. Broke a TB Sweet Thing years ago and haven't found a better gill rod to date...

I have two 18" Ultra lite, finesse rods that I really like.  Plus I use spring bobbers that really increase the bite sensitivity.

Sounds like a good combo!

DH Custom's Pantom is a great choice w/ built in spring bobber

I catch gills on all my rods ranging from UL to a med, though that is a Jason Mitchell with a super light tip. My favorite is probably a St. Croix Legend due to the spring bobber. I modified it (stepped on it) and now it has a little stiffer action than the original UL since I overlapped the pieces and lashed it together. Balance between rod and jig size is crucial; I almost always do some practice jigging at home after I rig up. my best inexpensive rig is a Panfish Popper; though It tends to freeze up (spring bobber) in really cold weather.

I use a 28 in ul St. Croix legend with a spring bobber. Works great for me. Only time I use medium is for walleye.
