I bring two rods with me, one 8 1/2 ft and the other 10 ft. Both are set up for drift fishing, one is set with orange yarn and eggs, the other with pink yarn and shrimp. I usually alternate with or without corkies and alternate other yarn color combos. Crawdad tails in summer. I carry spinners, spoons, pink worms, plugs, rags, aeroflys, floats, and jigs but havn't used the jigs or spoons much. I think I'll set up the 10 ft pole with a float and jig. Need to get me some scent for the jigs. I like the way RT and STS rig the hooks for plugs. Probably makes it easier to hook the fish. I'm a plug virgin also even though I've had a few takedowns. I tend to revert back to the drifting of bait because thats what works for me with steelhead.
