    I shore fish mainly for eater size channels. Here in Wisconsin we can use up to three hooks (three rods with one hook each) which allows for trying three different baits at the same time if you want to see what their biting on . I use 7' medium action rods with size 30 Quantum optix spinning reels loaded with 10# Trelene xl .I use a 1/2 - 3/4 oz egg sinker above a bead and a # 7 barrel swivel or #10 snap swivel .Leader length depends on where I'm fishing. Hooks are either Eagle Claw L197bk or Mustad 39951 Demon Extra Fine Wire circles in size 2/0 -4/0 depending on the bait used. Also, depending on the location, (lots of snags) I'll use pre-tied snelled bait hooks on the snap swivel.
