Most Terrifying Fishing Experience?
I've had a few.. One time while fishing from shore on the Wolf River in Wisconsin, I was walking a large rip rap bank, I had saw plenty of snakes that day already but continued fishing, these were only grass snakes and don't have much for teeth. I stroped down the bank a few more steps, made a cast when I felt something On my ancle, I looked down and about a 30 inch Grass snake had me by the ancle, I'm deathly afraid of snakes, I kicked and screamed and finally got the snake off, little bit of blood and being traumatized, I quit fishing for the day. Fishing in the bay of Green Bay for Walleye from a 17 foot starcraft it was rough out and it was getting worse. We had about five footers out there, being on the bay they were very close, we made it back but very wet.

Spinning Rod Jerkbait Setup
I fish a lot of smaller jerkbaits in my local rivers, most being under 3/8, what action/power rod do you like for jerkbaits on spinning setups. Also, would it be best to use a fluro line so that it sits nose down? Thanks.

Small Swimbaits
For small swimbaits I like the Keitech Easy Shiner in the 3 inch size. Nice and soft but still pretty tough.

Using Braid For Soft Platics
braid has its advantages. However if you want to Ned rig I would use flurocarbon, using super light heads with braid might cause trouble because braid Floats.

6' 6" Medium Spinning rod (don't get an ugly stick) and a president with 15 pound braid and various leaders would do the trick.
