We choose rods and reels that optimize our fishing techniques. We use GLoomis rods for all of our gear fishing needs. They have rods designed specifically for twitching jigs, casting spinners and spoons, float fishing and back-trolling plugs. When combined with a Shimano spinning reel loaded up with braided line, you'll feel everything that's happening at the end of your line and have the ability to land that "Fish of a Lifetime"!

​

For twitching jigs and casting spinners we like a spinning rod in the 8 ft range. 

​

For float fishing we use longer rods in the 10 ft range combined with either a spinning reel or bait caster, depending on your skill level.  The longer rod helps with line control as does the bait caster, whereas the spinning reel is easier to cast.

​

For plug fishing, we once again go with a rod in the 8 ft range for most of our fishing, and at times use our heavier 30 lb rated rods when fishing for Kings in higher flows.
