thanks for the replys,,,,i just got my new setup,,,7' ugly stik witha shimano 4000 reel.....seems like a nice heavy duty little rod......
After you get into float fishing a bit your gonna want at LEAST a 8'6 rod..
Preferably 9'6 or larger... You may not think so now but try one out you'll be surprised!
I prefer the sliding bobbers becasue I can adjust the depth of the bait underneath it. I have no preference about weights under the bobber but I do when drifting. I like the slinky type made from the hollow cord and buckshot. I make them myself in multiple sizes and attach them to a swivel with a closed hook so they slide on the mainline and can be changed easily. I have tried the hollow core pencil lead as well but I leave too much of it on the bottom of the river.:shock:

Use smaller buck shot or larger nylon.
always lookn for that extra little edge that separates the fishing from the getting thanks for the advice and i will deffinetly be trying some of your jigs this year with a report or two they look very fishy
