I Bought a New Rod… Did It Work? (River Test)

Описание: We stopped by Fishtales Bait & Tackle in Cleveland, TN to pick up a new rod and get some insight on finesse setups for river fishing. They gave us some great information on rod selection and how to approach lighter presentations.

After that, we headed to the river to put the new setup to the test.

Ended up catching a smallmouth and later Rylee and I hooked into a few drum as well. Nothing crazy — just a solid day learning, testing gear, and figuring things out.
