Fishing Gear
I’m not a fancy guy, I like spinning rods and live bait. After all bait is what fish eat. Throughout the year I will to expand and improve on my artificial lures. I’ve caught the most bass on plastic worms and think of crank baits as one of the best ways to throw $5-10 in the lake or a tree.
I mostly fish from a boat. We have an Angler Qwest Panfish 818, which is a 18ft pontoon made for fishing. It’s super comfortable for long trips and having some shade in the summer.
When I get around to it I’ll make sure to add some links and break down all the stuff on the boat down to the rod holders.
- Penn Battle II spinning rod and reel
- My loverly light weight Pflueger spinning rod and reel
- Humminbird Helix 8 Gen3 to know where the fish aren’t
- Navionics to help me find the correct depth and sunken houses and roads. Lanier is a deceptively large lake and knowing whats under you really helps.
- 1 tackle box full of regular tackle, hooks of all sizes and sinkers we use and the others that always are in there
- 1 tackle box full of crank baits, a few spoons, Captain Mac jigs of course, soft swim baits and plastic worms.
- My wife has a bunch of old reels from the 1900’s or close to that are round, one is red, one is blue.
- Mrs. Only fishing also has a Curado we sometimes use incorrectly to troll an a-rig.
