You'll find you need all the poles your thinking of & bring all ya have. Bait Cast reels for trolling. Spinning reels get all kinked up if ya troll them. Either reel for jigging or casting. As far as rods. Med Light for jigging and Medium for trolling. Lures-- what you have will work, but if you want to enhance your tackle box I recommend clear jet divers in the 10', 20', & 30' depth ranges followed with Stinger Spoons. Remember to put a good barrel swivel in front of the jet diver (approx 3') the a snap swivel to the jet diver. Then a snap swivel to the jet diver (backside) a barrel swivel 1/2 way in front of your lure and a snap swivel to connect to your lure with a O-Ring on the lure (enhances action). It stops line kink completely. I can change colors or baits quickly and take apart when running in hard water. I run the spoon or stick bait (smithwyck, rapala, etc) 4-5 ft behind the jet diver. Spray them with WD-40. It works or it sure dont hinder bites. Trolling worm harnesses (meat baits) also work well, just put the egg weight up in front of the 1st barrel swivel. Good colors that generally produce steadily are green, chartruese, purple, white, pearl, red, orange, fire tiger, etc.. It depends on water clarity, but you will see the trend for the day or hour whatever the case. Jigs/ Cabelas. The purple hair jigs we are talking about are a local phenom. You can get them here at the local bait stores, along with the worm harnesses. They are preset lengths (I prefer @ least 18"-36" leaders) and designed for lake erie walleye. Pick up a couple bottom bouncers for drifting also (cheater pole) attach a worm harness. I prefer chartruese or orange painted. The walleye are different here. To the locals reading this--my example is---go throw a weight forward in a inland lake??? No Bites. Me neither. Tried it all week on Chautauqua Lake and no bites.

Another recommendation is go to www.jannsnetcraft.com, they sell all the blades, O-Rings, Treble hooks, and stick baits very inexpensively. Ya just need a good set of needle nose pliers to put it all together and save a ton of money. They are located here in Toledo, Oh and have the right baits at the right prices. That's where I go.

Jigging is the prefered method. You will be 5 miles east of the reefs. Allot of females spawn and head east. South Bass (South Passage)and Kelleys Island 9 Kelleys Island Shoal, Gull Shoal) are known for big fish, but I recommend you head directly to spawning grounds (west), get your 4 males, then go search for sows.

Good Luck and enjoy the lake
