I personally use a medium heavy rod...20lb test and always a medium drag setting....maybe even a little tighter than that, I mostly anchor fish or troll...I NEVER (well ...only if i'm plunking from the bank while steelie fishing) use a single hook and if my rod goes down the fish ( if it's hooked right )will set the hook itself. Same thing for Fall fish... 20,30, and 40lb fish...wobblers or spinners...never have i lost one to line breakage. I trust my crystal Ivory and the knot i tie. \:\)
