just use your noodle rod.but put firer line 20 lb test and 18 pound tip you have fun. frog hair tip 18 pound . last year i had fun with them and that was my frist.don't let them run to far you lose them hold on and fight like hell have fun you learn real quik

I only use 10, or 12 lb. flourlcarbon. The reason being it's easier to break off a fouled fish & that does happen.
