shakespeare ugly stik gx2 pistol grip casting rod 5'6" Its time to fish ugly. Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 7ft

Thats why several noted Lake Pontchartrain trout anglers including Matrix Shad owner Chas Champagne palm their baitcasting reels and keep their index finger or thumb in constant contact with the line when their lure is falling through the strike zone to help them detect subtle bites

Bluegill & Crappie are very steady on inland lakes using beemoths & redworms

I also like to align rod length with the size of the lures/jigs Im using

And thats something you can say about spinner and crawler combinations as well---walleyes find them hard to resist
