I fish 3....
8' 3 wt St Croix Legend Ultra
8 1/2' 5wt Diamondback
7 1/2' 5-6 wt Southbend vintage bamboo

I enjoy all of them & frequently use all 3 each time I hit a pond, but the 3 wt is almost always the 1st, unless the wind is real strong...then the Diamondback is uncased 1st. All are great fun with panfish.
