I've got a variety of rods to choose from but my the one I consistently spend the most time with when I'm fishing for bluegills is an 8', 5 wt., St. Croix that I built from a blank that my wife bought me a few years ago for my birthday. She doesn't fish (or know much about fly fishing) and I thought the rod was going to be a bit more than I needed for bluegill but it is sweet to cast and fits my needs perfectly.
