Panfish spinning, Light to ML, 4-10 6' or longer

My go to for The White Perch has been the Falcon HD with specs above. Our Acad no longer has any, and I would like to find something with that exact same action but maybe 6'6" or 7'. The various Cables and BPS models have some similar, but I hate to order without ever felt them. So, something you would think is too light for bass, but not a wobbly noodle you'd use on bluegill. Any obvious choices?

what's that rod you told Hunny Bunny to get me?

I hated the HD. I've been using the Original 6' light for years. I think it's perfect. Little stiffer than the HD.

I cast 1/64oz jigs with my Okuma.

I have an older Scimitar that is my #1 bluegill pole. It's 5'6" and UL. If I could only find a 6'6' Scimitar....

I've used a Berkley Lightning Rod Shock at 6' for some small creek fishing, but it's a medium and I think the lightest they go is medium-light. But I do like the feel of it.
I've used some Cabela's rods for work (Tournment Series or something), and they feel pretty good. But again, these weren't light rods.

Maybe I'll find a way to the BR area before I really need the rod.

I use it for sac-a-lait and spotted bass. Never throw jigs that light, mostly rebel crawfish cranks,mini spinner baits and baby spooks.
If you don't want anything stiffer, I would be weary of ML rods, you may not get the give you want.

Probably longer than you're looking for, but I recently bought a Mr. Crappie® Wally Marshall Signature Series Crappie Rod: 8', 4-12# - $50.
I used it this past weekend and am veeery pleased with it. Was throwing smaller 1/32oz jigheads easily. Didn't try any lighter than that but don't see it being a problem. Caught slabs up to 1.5-2# no issues and was sensitive enough to pick up some lighter biting bluegill too.
FWIW, I was using 10# Nanofil on a Cabela's brand spinning reel.

100% agree. I have now tried 10#, 12# and 17#. I really like the 10#. Probably going to re-spool the reel I have with 12# to 10#. I haven't fished a ton with the 17#, but it definitely handles better than 20# Power Pro.
