1. Need to keep as much line off the water as possible....thats why most use 9.5 - 10.5 rods.

2. A good spinning reel, 1 with a good drag system....... recommend Shimano.....spirex or better.

3. A good "soft" line.....very important. 8 or 10 pound can land some VERY BIG fish.

4. Floats---- round cork(expensive) or you can make your own "dink floats" with backer rod.

5. Get some good jigs, many people sell off the net........do a seach on jigs. Wallmart, SportCo, Failor's in Aberdeen, or probably 100's more also sell.

6. I'd start with 1/8 oz.....in pinks, red's, purples, blacks....tough to beat these colors.

7. I fish a "movable float", start with the jig about 2' down, cover all the water, then move the jig down, 1-1.5 feet and do it again.....you DON'T want to be on the bottom.

8. If you don't get anything, doing #7, then change color.......some days pink works, some days its a different color.........SOMEDAYS NOTHING works..........but believe me, jigs do work........LOT's of the time...

9. If that float does anything..SET the hook, most of the time the fish will pull in clear under the water............but not always.

10. PAY ATTENTION to what the float is doing.............can't tell you the amount of times that I've had to time someone........"Hey, your float is gone"....

Have a good tijme!!!!!!!!!!!!
