    just be careful of the venue you choose a lot of the smaller lakes have been netted by the eastern europeans. indeed they target the larger lakes too, nets were found on sheelin last season. get local advice from trusted sources.

    Thanks ironblue for the reply. Jut one more question. Is a 2.5 pound test curve on a rod ok for dead bait fishing. Was looking at a few deals for rods.

    depends upon the size of the dead bait but 2.5 or 2.75 should be ok. a heavier rod will handle larger heavy dead baits better but less fun playing a fish
