St. Croix Legend Elite Panfish Fishing Rods

Panfish species unite anglers throughout the country and beyond through the passionate pursuit of some of the most popular fish that swim. Renowned for the sport they provide on light tackle and prized for their delicacy on the table, crappies, perch, and sunfish serves as the entry point for those exploring fishing for the first time, while also remaining dedicated targets for panfish purists who never abandon the search.

Techniques for targeting panfish have come a long way since the days of the red-and-white bobber suspending a chunk of worm. Indeed, contemporary panfish hunters now employ dynamic, mobile presentations – applying insights learned from tournament circuits and from the bass and walleye crowd – to target the oversized specimens that other anglers overlook. At the heart of many of these techniques are highly specialized rods designed for extreme sensitivity to detect even the subtlest of strikes. Lengths and actions are varied, as required to present compact baits and lures while delivering the power necessary to subdue the most enormous individuals in the school – and even the bigger predator fish who are hunting them as well.
