If the fish are more than 4 feet long, then I use a 7' heavy uglystick with a good spinning reel, spooled with 20 pound test. Use about a 4 foot steel leader with a big bluegill or shad or whatever on it. Once one takes it, dont set the hook right away.. let line out and let it run for about a minute, because it will fiddle with the bait before actually taking it, and any quick strikes may just rip it out of the fishes mouth.
