I think for me I would add also an inline reel with a medium light rod for perch and crappie just to get your line down quicker especially using lighter jigs compared to spinning reels it can be tough to get those small baits down quick. I love your videos.
If your referring to the newer style under the rod reels, I haven't had a chance or reason to try them to be honest. They do look interesting though. I use baitcasters quite a bit for my medium heavy and heavy set ups it's just a lot tougher to find baitcasting rods that I like
