Alrighty well here's an update.
Fished for 4 ish hours today drifting some roe bags it was a little awkward with the big rod bit i got the hang of it by the first hour. I actually managed to hook 2 fish and oh my i have never heard the drag on my stradic sing so much. Unfortunately i was not quite good enough to get either to the bank due to the hooks i was using actually straightening out(might need to go slightly bigger or stronger). Other then that it was awesome at one point i got really nervous because the rod was bent so far over that i thought for sure it was going to snap but the guys that were around me kept telling me to tighten the drag more and more. Had a blast everyone was so friendly and open to helping although nobody warned me when how deep the holes get as i almost walked into water deeper the my waders.
My big question is what hooks i should be using. The guy i was beside said he would guess my fish was around 28-30 inches and it had no problem bending my hook out. I have been using some size 14 hooks that i found at the crappytire.
Thanks a Bunch i definitely have the bug after feeling the power if these beasts!
