what size should i use for 2-5 foot deep water for trout and redfish using gulp mullet

I would probably say to use the 1/8 oz size but it really depends on the water current where you are fishing along with the size of the gulp bait you are using. You want it heavy enough to not get swept away too quickly if the current is strong but not so heavy that it falls to the bottom too quickly when jigging and takes away from the action of the bait. The 1/8 oz would probably be a good place to start. Hope that helps & tight lines!

I don't see a problem but okiaya also has 30-80 rod, the same size but stiffer. The choice would really be determined by the targeted fish. If you are going for huge makos, marlin or big tuna I would use the 30-80 but for fish under 120 # I like the 30-50.

Basin holdsabout 5 gallons of water so small fish should be ok. You'll need filtration and a way to keep the fish from getting trapped by recirculation pump.

It is good for the fish size up to 2feet at most. It will be quit thrilling if you really catch a big one having hard time toretrieve.If you expect bigger than that, you need one with larger spool and stronger drag like Abu 5000 or 6000 series.

I have the 30 gt size...live shiners here in southern Louisiana 100-150; 75-80 live croackers (2.0' - 3.5"), live shrimp 100-125 (40-50 count) and 125 cocahoe minnows (2.0"). I ALWAYS pre-chill my cooler 12 hours before with Artic Chill type frozen containers!!! John Castelluccio, Jr.

No. The 3/8" mesh is too big for small bait. Their gill plates get caught in the mesh and you kill the bait trying to free them. Go down to a smaller size mesh for smaller bait.

I have a 19 qt Engal that I use for Striper fishing on the Sacramento River. I can put 10 dozen minnows in it if I need too and fish all day. I sometimes run it over night with left overs and they are still alive for fishing the following day. Excellent live well for the $. I've been running it for 2 seasons without any problems. I did put a larger bubble stone in it for more air volume.

I use 6 Lb test for trout and bass. Seems to work well, have had no issues with knotting or tangling. Love the reel very smooth and fast.

I do not fish for crappie so cannot respond. I fish for salmon using the trolling method and a down rigger. The size of these fish vary from 8 pounds to over 20 pounds and they are real fighters, love to run on you especially once they are on the surface. I have two Shimano rods, 9 feet and 9.5 feet. I use both of these while fishing in the San Juan Islands and Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington State. I totally trust both of these rods as they respond perfectly from the first bite while in the rod holder to the actual netting of the fish. I fish solo most of the time and need a rod that will respond to support my individual effort.

I normally use 8's or 10's for "pan sized" trout or "stalkers". My favorite bait anymore for those types of trout are using 2 or 3 or the rainbow colored power eggs by Berkley Power Bait. You put on enough to float them off the bottom and set your depth 1 to 3 feet so the float above the weed line. I also like adding a Gold label Pautzke egg on the tip of the hook. The rubber eggs I slide up the shank otherwise they can be hard to set the hook through. I have had so much success with this setup that there are times I am the only one catching fish at local lakes. For larger trout I use 6's or 4's and do the same sort of setup but with marshmallows and night crawlers. Hope this answers your question and helps you catch more fish!! Good luck!!

Go to Shakespeare's web site and browse their fishing rods, if it's saltwater or fresh water, a couple to check are bws1100 7'0" is saltwater and spl1100 7'0" which is freshwater, I have both and like them. There are others that may be what your looking for.

I use Power Pro bass fishing for fresh water as well as saltwater bass, with a short fluorocarbon leader (3-7'). Hook sets should be instantaneous, as there is no stretch in the braided line. Tie the right knot to join the lines so no slippage (check out You Tube videos about joining lines).

I used this rod up in Alaska this past summer with a 2 ounce jig head. I tried some heavier lures, but they were too heavy. The rod handled 5-7lb black bass rockfish without issue. I was also able to bring in a 15lb lingcod with the rod.

I believe the openings are 3/8". I catch mullet minnows that are 3-4" long.

I have this rod and have caught everything from large panfish (bream, crappie) to small bass. I have also caught both fresh and saltwater trout. It all depends on what size leader and tippet you use and how much you are willing to finesse a big fish.
