I really only fish for trout. I go lake fishing with powerbait type bait. I take a bottle of fish attractant. You can use #18 or #16 treble hooks for powerbait, 2-3 LB test. Take the spray cap off the attractant bottle and throw the suction straw attached to it away. Add some Anise extract to the sauce for super Hondo sauce. Dunk the hook and bait in bottle. It must fit thru the small bottle opening or it's too much bait. You can make up 4ft+ long extra leaders, w/ bait on hook and have them soaking in bottle as you utilize a small swivel to exchange leaders. Above swivel 6 lb test is OK with a large completely filled water bobber, no air bubbles- so it sinks! (only heavy out of water). Cast 100 yards and catch a monster, Have drag off or bail open after cast / before bite. After fishing oil your needle nose plier!
