red and black ugly stik fishing rod Carbon Salmon Steelhead Spinning Boasting an all Ugly Stik GX2 Spinning Combo

bluegill are all over the inlets

- Drags on any reel should take into account the extra length of the rod

Note the different drag system, slipping on the winder

Example: If you are fishing in, say, eighty metres of water with mono and you lift your rod tip up two metres, the sinker may move just a small fraction of that

Remember, with either hooking technique, it is important to let the fish fully eat the shiner before you set the hook, because most fish will actually try to turn the shiner around in its mouth so they can swallow it head-first, and this process can take some time- so count to around 10-seconds before hitting it home
