So I fish in Nebraska with my four kids. I’m busy dealing with keeping four kids on panfish, but want to add to my setup a couple of rods to catch pike and bass to add in some trophy potential (all catch and release on the predator fish). Something I can put in a rod holder and keep an eye on a float seems like the best option. We fish in flooded timber, so lots of snags so the gills will not be down more than 5-10’.
looking for tips on everything from the best hook, best float, line (I’m thinking 30 lb flouro), weights, ect.
thanks in advance!
