I like a 1/16 white rooster tail on a ML rod.  That little bait drives the bluegill and sunfish nuts.

True that. I have lost more than I care to count already this year, but DSG has them on sale a lot so I can recoup easily.

I recently got back into fishing after 6 months of giving up . But theres this lake 10 minutes away from me with nice sized bluegill as weel as smallies and an occasional large mouth . Well , I need a rod for catching bluegills and crappie too. Any recommendations?My guess would be an UL but im not sure. Also , what are a few of your top baits for catching Bluegills.. Thanks!

well you should try a UL but put 6pound test on it so if you get a nice size one it wont break 

i like the sahara more but the bail wire seems pretty flimsy.

 

I haven't had a problem with the sahara bail, the sienna on the other hand will close if thrown too hard
