fishing rod setups

Freshwater Fishing Questions: What are some good Baits to use? What size test to use? How should I setup the?

Hi,

if you would have told us the kind of rod and reel you have it would have been a little easier and less vague on our part guessing but here goes:
if you are using spinning gear you should have heavy hipand tip since the wind will vary your effectiveness of casting I would suggest more up and down presentations. I also suggest starting on the top and working down. if there is water movement find it and cast upstream (always) it is end of summer almost fall so go with orange and red brown colors as they will immulate the colors of the aging crawfish the lake supports. fish big baits use the darkest colors in murky stained water and lighter blue/green in clear water.
If you have a baitcaster also use heavy / medium heavy the line I would use would be low vis green with all the algae in bloom and water clarity being affected by it. I would use 12 -15 pound test if you aren’t married to your rod and reel yet and as your engagement lengthens you will undoubtedly go lighter (we all did) in stick ups and downed trees I would throw lizards. in reeds and lilly pads frogs and off drop offs and cliffs slow roll spinner baits again following my suggestiions of colors. If you find rock piles at a depth where crank baits can get to I would grind each one of them trying to find a lazy old bad boy I also think this time of year the deepest area of the lake will hold the biggest fish mid day use 14 inch giant plastics and never set your rod down each cast could hold a record fish on the bottom. Always put a trailer on jigs and spinner baits and in colored water use gold colorado blades and in clear water silver willow leafs. I would use a carolina rig for rocky bottoms and weedles lead heads in grass for all the plastics. Tie directly on to the baits all others and use the rapala knot.
