new ugly stik rod GX2 Travel Spinning 6', 4 pc Rods that act like skittish thoroughbreds instead of unshod workhorses Ugly Stik GX2 Travel Spinning

Cast nets can work but only Alaska residents can throw a cast net to catch bait

I do change out rings and hooks due to failures, though

The immediate anti-reverse system provides solid, instant hooksets, eliminating any frustrating backward movement of the handle when a fish strikes
