Still learning norfork but off our dock we have to fish w clear 4 lb test and red hook w minnow. When we first started up there couldn't catch a fish Had 10 lb test on all poles. Swapped to 4 and started catching. Sure u could get away w 6-8 but this has been my experience from dock. No clue on boat. Hoping to start figuring that out this year. If any of y'all end up on hand cove woods point end look me up. Hope to be up there more this summer.
