I like to have a deadstick out while I’m hole hopping with a long rod. It works best if the deadstick rod is super limp so I can see the bite from 20 yards away and then the fish feel less resistance. I would like a 48″ rod, or something close with a reel seat. Noodle like, but moost noodles only have a limp tip. I’d like it that limber all the way down. Any suggestions?
Get a UL 5ft 6 glass open water blank and cut the Butt down to 48″ you will end up with what your looking for. The snare rods load up to back bone 3/4 to 1/2 way down. The UL will bend almost to the handle.
Where are you located? The Oakdale Fleet Farm has the rod you just described in 42 inch length. (3-4 on the shelf) Sub $50 price tag IIRC.

Beaver Dam makes some super affordable glass noodle rods.
They do everything the high end rods do for a fraction of the price.
This sounds like you want the Blue Ice 48” rod they sold for $10. No backbone at all and flexes all the way through the handle. Where are you located? I might have one you can have.

This is the route I’d go. The rods are pretty solid. I don’t think it flexes to the handle but I wouldn’t ever want that any ways. It does flex alot and gives lots of play.
Rodwork has the right idea.Get the light action not the UL.
The JT Panfish Snare is a great rod for sure

The 48″ blue ice sounds great. The snare looks great but 120$ is a bit high for me.

I have one of the 48 inchers with an okuma baitfeeder reel and I was going to suggest this to you. It works great outside and in my Outgreak 650XD. I was looking online but could not find any for sale I hope they still make them. I saw a link for the 36 inch… that would probably work as well.
Basskhang has a 48″ super Noodle blank if you want to build your own or have one built.
I feel the BK 48” super noodle has more back bone than what the OP is looking for. I think he is looking for more of a parabolic action.
