This is the page that will show the all-purpose gear that I use. Like most average fishermen I can't have different rods for every type of fish, nor for every technique that is out there, so this is the stuff that I use for everything outside of muskies!
Spinning Rod Combo
Berkley Amp Rod
As is says, 7' Medium Action...This is an inexpensive rod but it is not cheap! I bought this rod last year and have been more than impressed. Awesome for trolling mid-sized and smaller cranks yet can throw plastics a mile!
Abu Garcia Spinning Reel
This is a Cardinal 700..I believe, spooled with 10lb Power Pro. This reel has a very smooth drag and when paired up with the above-mentioned rod and power pro line has made for an amazing, inexpensive combo. It casts very far and is very sensitive when both trolling or working plastics.
Snaps
Mustad Duo Lock Snap
After careful consideration and trial and error I think these snaps will be the ones I use this year and test out. I have tried several different makes and models but this seems to be the most reliable while also being the smallest ones I could find. I believe the ones I use are size 1.
