rod on a airplane
ive got a medium rod with 6lb since theres rainbow trout in rivers there and i wanna bring my medium heavy for salt water. like barracuda . just gonna be using some jerkbaits and poppers for bass on the surf and i dont think a medium crappie/trout rod with 6lb will handle that. just payed 10$ for line so i wanna bring my dads rod with me and put 40lb braid in his reel im going to walmart, when it comes to fishing im not a lowballer but for a temporary thing i want to get a 2 peice rod i can fit in my luggage bag. if i have to

The Fishing Investment
if you are bank fishing and really want to get serious into the bass fishing sport all you need is around 250$. bass pro shops has there epic xps brand square bills on sale for 2.50$ right now. really cheap all you need is about 20$ worth of terminal tackle meaning hooks weights etc a pack of 15 lb seaguar red label line http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Pro-Qualifier-Reel/Johnny-Morris-CarbonLite-Casting-Rod-Baitcast-Combos/product/1408260726481/ this epic combo 6:4:1 medium heavy 7 ft 6 inch fast action and about 20$ worth of bass pro shops brand soft plastics and about 30$ worth of hard baits. or you could get a 30$ spinning reel combo i bought one a fews days ago from bass pro with 6 lb for crappie and trout and i smashed largemouths with it today. what i do is every time i go to bps i go during a decent sale and spend 10$ on lures every few months and now my tackle bag wieghs like 25 pounds

help with catfishing
update: i went to that lake with the bullheads and some one told me he saw a 15 lb cat and some guy caught a 9 lber when the water was real low. i tried cut bluegill kahle hook through nostrils. not one bite . ive never seem to have caught a channel or a blue there. all i remeber is 1 time i used some worms and got a bite so big my rod tip went down like 3 ft then let go

help with catfishing
nice so all you used was a kahle hook with a bluegill hooked, i got 1 more question. i tried that to see what it looks like and there was some hook exposed but not a whole lot, is that a problem?
-
help with catfishing
ok so what im going to be using is just my plain mainline and a kahle hook with some bluegill and have the bail open with a rock to detect bites,ill post pics if i catch anything one more thing, im going to be fishing today at my bullhead lake looking for channels or blues then tommarow at this local park with stocked catfish, the one with the bullheads has like nematode parasites in one of the blueglls i cut open, if i find a channel and want to eat it would it have the parasite too? i dont know why theres parasites there to begin with the thing is loaded with tiny baitfish that eat everything

help with catfishing
i took the weights off and put kahle hooks, i dont have feeder reels so im gonna give the cat some slack when the line gets tight i set the hook, im also using wire leaders, is that ok or no? 30lb steel leaders
-
help with catfishing
edit: also i forgot to mention. the way they hit the bait is they would bite then let go. all that happend was that my rod tips were going down about 1-2 inches for a second or 2 then nothing else. not even enough time to set the hook

help with catfishing
hey thanks for the replies im sure they arent bullheads, its a manmade lake at a park stocked with channels and blues, there isnt any bullhead catfish there also should i be tight lining? because what i do is i reel in until the line is tight so i can see if im getting bites, or should i give some slack? my wieghts arent big either

help with catfishing
i went catfishing today i used texas rigging hooks and put bluegill heads as bait, they were heads from about 3-5 inch bluegills pretty small (when i was cutting up the bluegills i found a parasitce\nematode worm in the bluegill yuck) i had caught them a day before at went fishing with em at about 4-6 o clock i casted out all 3 rods and i got a bite on 1 of em then about 20 bites in total, i could tell they were catfish bites not bluegill, i never hooked any of them, i used the heads on all 3 rods i hooked the bluegills through the eyes (it was dead lol dont worry) and it had room for the catfish to get hooked on the rod that got the most bites i had the bluegill hooked through the nose or above the mouth and i reeled in and found a huge bite mark on the head far from the hook and the hook had went back into the bluegill? I don't understand any ways i was using a caralina rig what i do is i reel my line until its tight to see if i get any bites, did i do anything wrong? thanks i had also frozen the bluegills and unfroze them this morning

To All My Memphis Pond Hoppers!
this sounds stupid but you might aswell buy a jetski and modfiy it to hold rods. i did it and its awesome it has an anchor and all. i use it for land and sea it was cheap and its EPIC you got alot of space and a chair. i modifyed it to also have a back rest when im catfishing has a livewell for minnows and shad on the side too!
