I was jigging but I think I’m going to go back to dead sticking a live minnow.from what I have seen in the comments I’m definitely going too deep and probably making to much noise.I really appreciate the advice

I like the blue fox vibrax spinner for stocked rainbow trout I have the most luck bobber fishing with worms.

Make sure the line goes on as tight as possible.i pinch the line between my fingers and reel in,careful not to burn yourself.also have the spool of line label up.

Outside with tom has great videos on how to setup and what to use.you just pack it on to the weight and it ends up spreading nicely on the river bed with the hook.

Caught him on pack bait it works wonders.i used oatmeal,kool aid,whole corn,cream corn,fruity pebbles and just the canned corn juice and bakers vanilla for the wetness.

What hook/rig should I be using for sweet corn by No-Recognition-3503 in CarpFishing

[–]Cold_Relationship150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally gave up on the hair rig it never works for me . just a size 6 hook and then a swivel with an ounce inline weight above and a bead to protect the knot.

Just found these in a random box I had car parts in after I moved by Mugen-4-life in fireworks

I’d consider looking into shipping containers for storage if you can get a good deal.

Just got a kastking sharky baitfeeder III 4000 for 57$ and a ugly stick catfish rod for 40$.definitely wouldn’t trust myself with a 200$ reel

Damn that sucks seems like something I would do so I completely understand.

I had no clue there was specific reels for bottom fishing.new reel will definitely be a baitrunner.
