baitcaster and lures?
346812
when using a bitcast reel you must keep your thumb on thr line just hard enough to keep the line from backlashing but not so hard you slow the line down. there are many types of lures for smallmouth, check with fishermen from your area, get a bas pro shop catalog good info there

Models have a good supply of fishing rods.  Then theres Amazon and ebay where you could find anything and maybe better prices.  Good luck.

Use a Steel leader, 20-30Lb. test line , and 1/4 - 1/2 Lb. spoons or spinners. Buzz baits work well also.

i know for the white bass and large mouth and walleye if any!!! id for sure try a bullet blade (there called alot of different things... the ones i got were called Zonars) !!! ,,,  http://www.in-fisherman.com/reference/weekly_tip/IFD_tip_FreshwaterDrumA.jpg  ... in the picture its the lure on the top left looks just like the pic pretty much... i was just introduced to those this year by a random fisherman who was pulling them out left and right using one... and saw i was having no luck... i was using twisters.. rapalas.. live bait... all of the above.. and i finally ran over to the bait shop and picked up a few of these and nailed white bass and large mouth in the same spot i wasnt catching them B4..but the picture is what they look like not sure what there called in ur local bait shop.. but they were killer... Ive found out that white bass LOVE Silver!!!

Live bait with double trebles 2x or 4x depening on what you expect to be catching big or really big. Make your own wire leader to match the baits size. the first trebles should be hooked in the nose of the bait and the trail hook should be  in front of the tail of the bait. \ntight lines

I lived in Jacksonville, Florida all my life. My bass-club had a tournament out of Talquin in the late 90's. \n\nI think you should be throwing 7 inch Berkley "Power-worms" in "Red Shad/Green Glitter" or "Camo" colors.\n\nTry a 1/4 OZ "Titanium" spinner bait with "GOLD" willow-leaf blades and a "red/chartreuse" skirt. \n\n"Hank Parker's" "Classic" spinner-bait works TOO!\n\nThe guy who won that particular tourney put his trolling motor on at a brisk pace, threw spinner-baits until he found fish, then slowed down and thoroughly worked the area with "Power-worms",( he ended up wining over $600).\n\nAlso, try the new "Senko" 5" stick bait in "cinnamon/black/Merthiolate tip" color. I have heard this bait works VERY well "walked" across weed tops and weed-lines.\n\nIf all else fails, try "downsizing" your line diameter("Berkly Fireline" size 4/10), using a "spinning" reel, and throw 1/8 & 1/4 OZ, "Beetle-spins" with curly-tailed bodys in "Black body/silver blade" or "Chartruese body/ gold blade". \n\nIf you find a concentration of "spooky" Bass, try throwing a "Yum" "Zellamander"(no weight), Texas-style rigged, "water melon/red-flake" color.  \n\nCast to wood! Cast along weedlines! GOOD LUCK!

I sell bait for a living and the best bait for catching pike is a roach especially a live one on a treble trace.\nFishing for pike is the best, enjoy it!!

I usually fish for bass their are not as smelly as the northern pike, although those pike put up a good fight. We usually catch them on a 3/8 oz. spinner bait in a chart. or white/chart color. Red and white dare devils work also, pretty much any thing will work, we have caught them on 7" Black power worms 5" senko's ( they are a little pricey for pike though) my parents neighbor swears by 6 to 8 inch minnows. The spinner bait is probably the easiest way I belive to catch them, as long as they are close by they will inhale them, then it's fight on. Just cast out and reel in. You may want a steel leader I usually just use fire line in 14lb or 20lb and haven't lost one yet, although I would have liked to some times. Good luck and catch them Pike.

Depends upon what type of "Lure" or presentation you wish to use. For a "Spinner-bait" I like a "Medium/fast" action. For "Crank-baits" I like a "Slow/medium" action. "Top-water" should be "Medium/medium". "Worm & Jig" would be "Fast/medium". Obviously, you have already purchased some type of "6'6" Rod. Check the printing near where it tells you the lenght. It may also tell you the "action".\n\n\nGenerally, a good "fast to medium" rod can do the job of many. However, for crankbaits you definitley want a "noodle" of a rod. It helps the action of the lure and will help you also land more "crankbait fish".\n\ncall your local sporting goods store or bait shop and they can tell you more .

fishin, now thats what Im talkin bout... I reccomend usin power bait for trout, those are hard lil buggers to catch... also another thing I do before I park the boat to cast my pole, I dump a lil bit of that power bait crap right off the side of the boat Im fishin on to get em up near the boat so I can see em, then I catch one... also beef jerky is great for catching trout and catfish... hope this helps... y'all take it easy

Minows are the best bait for lake and river fishing..grasshopers are second best then night crawlers

You'll want to use the small spinning outfit.The lures you'll want to use will be too light to cast with anything else.Any small spinner (Panther Martin,Mepps,Roostertail)in silver,yellow,or white,seem to be the preferred colors.Small spoons also work in the same colors.Contact my profile if you have more questions.

the flounder in jersey just go nuts over marabou jigs.You'll need light tackle,4 lb test is perfect, but the just cant resist an eighth oz jig. I like green,yellow white and grey jigs. Bass Pro has them real cheap.There is no need to tip them with bait.I'll guarantee if you try this you'll kill them.
