Welcome to the forum. I fish Darbonne mostly, but Claiborne sometimes. I spider rig mostly. I have rigged my boat for six poles in the front and four in the back. I'm in the process of changing that to a glass boat with dbl seats in the front. I like to use 12 to 16 foot rods and normally fish jigs on 1/16th oz jig heads but occasionally shiners. I normally troll from .1 to1 mph. I try to keep as many colors in the boat as I can. Some days one color is best, other days they won't touch it.
I sometimes single pole or two pole. Not an overly bright fellow, I have always done best when someone shows me how to do something. If you can get with someone for a day or two it would put you right on track. If I can help let me know. There's some good knowledgeable folks over in your area. Becoming an active member on CDC is definately a step in the right direction.
