baitcaster fishing rod 45" Medium-Heavy Casting Ice dark tip and a 600CTS reel with a 5.3 Lew's Mach 2 Combo

Fish it around boulders and sunken trees or parallel along bluff lines

And so youre going to have fish on bed, have fish still pre-spawn, and then youre going to have some fish starting to move out post-pawn

Also, due to its stretch-ability, it is a great option for crankbaits because the fish can turn and swim with the lure allowing you time to get a good hook set

The V-Rod will catch you fish, period
