Alright some people are going to get defensive about this but ive said to heck with the 4lb ts long time ago and went to an 8. I recently moved from 8lb to a 14lbts. As a longpoler we dont have the advantage of eyed rods and reels to help get snags undone. You gotta be able to pull that hook out when you get on a snag bend it back to shape rebait and get back in a hole as delicatly as possible. I recently discovered that Fireline makes a 14lb bright green line that is awsume for being able to see when you get wrapped in a tree. I have weighed both and have decided to go with 14lb ts in the neon green now and am thinking of pumping up to a 20lb. Im only 28 but I still have trouble seeing the line and the bright green is doin wonders for speed. The 20lb is gonna help with the snags. Im sure the line is discourageing some fish but at the same time I see stikes now when fish hit my lure before it can properly sink the hook. Ive weighed it all out and for my kinda fishing I like the heavy bright line. If yall fish thick tree tops try it on one of your poles sometime and compare. I guess its just what you have confidence in.

Use crankbait on long pole....? Might be good for trolling! And tip should not be too soft and not good for crankbait! I remember years ago somewhere in article about long pole and use rubber jig dipping down holes of thick weeds for big bass! Cut off 1 feet tip for shorter pole that would be stiff to set the hook big bass!
I perfer to use live bait on long pole for big panfish!

Now thats a pretty funky lookin bobber you got there Mr. Webster! I do need some of them thangs its tied on though. I do all my pre-rigs on a pc of carbord I tear off of a 18pack. Im all about organzaition and that looks much cleaner and neater than havin a bunch of carbordwith sting tied on in your box!

Oh and you asked what kinda beer? Well to be honest with you my fav has got to be hands down....... ICE COLD, cold runs a second choice and luke warm works after 12

Well howard My main gripe is reriggin. My boat being as small as it is its a pain to have other people bringing there gear. I target certian areas certian ways and im set up to have double back ups. We have 4 cricket cages 2 minow boxes, 2 tackle boxes, 2 liveswells, and 2 backups of anything that have you. These are half the poles that i keep in the boat. When I take a guest its almost like deep see charter. All I ask is they buy the bait and plenty of it and be ready to have a good time. As a go alonger they cant beat it for $9 bucks worth of crickets and yea I get me a can of Jalopena Viennas in the tab. OHHHHHH and better believe if they wanna buy some beer Yep Better double that order to! lol
