baitcasting rod for bass and catfish One Fishing Reel Combo, Combo with SuperPolymer Handle- Green- 1.8M -Left Handed : Sports & Outdoors reel levelwind design for efficient power Scheels Outfitters Xtreme Crazy Cat

Start with 12-15 lb test monofilament line

I like a shorter rod for techniques where I am going to jerk the rod tip downward like a jerkbait or a topwater lure

Then attach a fairly heavy split shot to your line 6 to 12 inches above the lure so that it will pull the Mice Tail toward bottom while still allowing it to float higher in the water column

BEST CRAWFISH CRANKBAIT Rebel Craw Crankbait The Rebel Craw Crankbait is one of the oldest and most realistic craw-style baits ever invented, and its intentionally the only crankbait-style lure weve included on this list

I use it for anything from steelhead, salmon, and hopefully some ling cod and rock bass this next spring and summer

Thats where the hollow-body frog comes into play for me
