I will use a long handled net I ordered a B'n'M Sam Heaton Super-Sensitive Spinning Rod 7' for casting jigs from Walmart on line. They have 2 ordered 1 with 2 year warranty tax warranty and rod was total $39.00 shipped to store here in Nicholasville

with two year warranty for $3.00 figured its worth it. I appreciate all of your ideas I have a 5' ultra lite, 6 ft lite so 7' Med lite 4lb line should work. really had my mind made up on BnM rod but wanted to here from the Pro's . Great wisdom here . Thank you always enjoy reading and gaining your wisdom
