I haven't read through the entire thread yet, so forgive me if it's already been covered.

I've got an HT Ice Blues UL rod and love it for perch and little stocked trout. I looked all over locally last year for another one but couldn't track one down anywhere locally. I've got a Diawa Sweepfire on it and for the money it's a pretty good little combo. Wrangled in a surprise 8lb pike on it last season as well.

I also picked up a Marmish rod last season but I'm just not a huge fan
