[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 411014, member: 20605"] there is no rod and reel. You troll along the bottom bumping it as you go with a 2 lb weight. When a fish hits you bring it in hand over hand if you tried it with a rod and reel the weight would tire you out in a few minutes, and you can not react quick enough to keep from snagging as the areas fished with this are usually very snaggy and the current is over 8 mph. And you would need a rod as stiff as a pool cue. You need the direct feel of the wire line telegraphing to you whats going on at the other end of the line. You can tell if the bottom is soft or hard, if there are weeds or fish on the line this way. People do do this with a method called pole lining, but its not nearly as effective. Its not for the timid lol [/QUOTE]
