Slab's got most of the info you..need.....

My .05 cents.....

1) 4 poles - 2 outsides (12 - 14) and 2 insides (5-8 footers)
2) Lines 10-12lb test mono is good + bullet+double eye + 3 foot leader + swivel +Bandit 300 each lake has a secret color...you can find the key in your Bass Pro catalog.....
3) 2 people is a better idea than 1 ...lotta work for one person....

Stay away from them fellars with the little yeller boats on each side of their own big boat.. they might commence to throwing rocks at you....

I like the bullet weight set up so I can get the Bandit down without as much speed.

Good info this thread though.....
