Normally I'd recommend 1 rod for the panfish and 1 for the toothy fare, but if you only want 1 go with a Jason Mitchell meat stick. I'd probably go with a medium action, it'll give you enough backbone for the eyes. It'd be too heavy for bluegill, but will probably work for crappie, as you normally use a larger lure for them.
