New favorite rod
June 13, 2022
I love that the reel seat section does not flex under load like my 7' Avid UL, giving it the feeling of being able to handle all species of panfish well, and provide enough backbone to handle bigger fish if they should end up on the hook. The tip is plenty sensitive although it may feel a little stiffer, and less noodley then many UL class rods. I actually find this more of a plus for me. As many have stated, the fast action of this rod may be more of a moderate fast, but did not find this to be an issue.

In testing I caught over 40 bluegills of sizes ranging from very small to 9", 10 bass from 7 - 11", and a large bullfrog, with the rod handling them all as I expected. However, depending on personal preference, the UL action may be the better option to experience the fight of smaller fish species.

Perfect Crappie rod

This might be the perfect all around Crappie rod. Well balanced and very sensitive. I have used it with a slip float and could feel the hits. It is my go to panfish rod and I have caught a lot of smallmouth bass also.

A beautiful rod. Very sensitive and extremely well balanced rod. Maybe a little over the top for panfish but that is exactly what i wanted. Will purchase the LEP69lf in the near future.
Pros
  • 1.. super sensitive 2.. very well balanced 3.. super light in weight 4.. just a beautiful rod (fit and finish are perfect).
Cons
  • can't think of a darn thing!
