what size should i use for 2-5 foot deep water for trout and redfish using gulp mullet

I would probably say to use the 1/8 oz size but it really depends on the water current where you are fishing along with the size of the gulp bait you are using. You want it heavy enough to not get swept away too quickly if the current is strong but not so heavy that it falls to the bottom too quickly when jigging and takes away from the action of the bait. The 1/8 oz would probably be a good place to start. Hope that helps & tight lines!

My rod was 7ft. / you can use up to 30lb test with good results ,if you will be mostly fishing for bass in open water , I would suggest 14lb test . hope this helps you , God Bless

I don't think 2.5 inches will work. My bar is a standard 3/4 inch pipe which is 1.05 inch nominal outside diameter. The handles seem designed for about that size. I think a 1 inch standard pipe, outside diameter 1.315 might work, but no larger.

First I would have recommended a higher drag weight on the reel. It sounds like you want heavy fish, so I would go with the 300 yds. You also may want to consider going to 50 lb. line, between your rod and the drag you can handle some pretty large fish with this set up. Remember to balance you drag with the weight recommendation of the rod builder.

My first choice would be chartreuse, 2nd white, then pink. But really depends on what bait is around and how the water clarity is. But I wouldn't get hung up on colors all that much. How you rig it is more critical. Don't drag it on the bottom aimlessly, use a bucktail and gulp teaser combo.

I talked to the folks who make Fishmate - they recommended the 4000, which we purchased. Its 4200gph. I wish that I had gotten the 5000.

Not sure but they look similiar in size. Mine is still working fine. A buddy of mine was using it on our last trip a month ago and caught a bunch of rock fish and sculpin with a 12 oz sinker.

I think its a 5 weight rod , I have caught 16"and 18" Trout ,I don't think I would like to catch anything much larger on this rod, I have caught larger but not to often, if I was going surf fishing I think I would want a little larger rod like a 8 or 9 weight , then again it would depend on what was running . Hope this helps.

I'm no fly fishing expert so I'll let someone else answer that with more detail. I encountered the same dilemma with my 5wt and I went with the 5/6 so I could have more capacity for line. Panfish and small bass probably won't pull a ton of line out and the reel might be more along the lines of a "line holder" but if you think there is a chance of hooking into some bigger fish with it I'd look at the 5/6.

I own two trio 40's. They are relatively small for size 40 reels. A size 30 or even a 20 though would be better for 8lb line.

I believe the openings are 3/8". I catch mullet minnows that are 3-4" long.

I use my trio30 in freshwater for bass, the 30 is the perfect size for bass it will hold one spool of line about 110yrds of 8 or 10 pound test the drag is super smooth. Great for what you want to use it for.

25 -- I tried a 15 and an 11 and the water flow was very restricted. the 25 works well and keeps water clear and clean

The pellets are really targeted for larger fish, I think the work best for 4-5" or larger. Smaller ones nibble on them. Larger ones just swallow them whole.

I'd go with at least 1" as well. I had a few installed in some 3/4" and they didn't seem hold up as well as the larger pipe. And they do work great, I've used these for three seasons now and just ordered a 25 pk to set up a larger system this spring for meat birds and replace some of the ones for my layers.

i previously had a hot shot brand that was about 8" long, and that one hit something in my tank. the camco is rather short and it works fine in my 5 gallon. to be sure- remove drain plug and insert a pencil sized object and measure clearance distance. with adapters and ferrol camco unit should only go in about 3" from drain plug.

church's inline walleye board would work, i use them for salmon, they average 18 lbs
