My rig is just about like yours, Boatload, right down to the hooks, except I usually go one size smaller. My reels are old fashioned Mitchell spinners from the late 60's (?) Just strong, simple, and well made.
I usually have 25 lb braid or so, with a 15 lb mono leader. I rig either Carolina rig (with a sliding sinker), a simple hook (or two) under a bobber, or sometimes I free-line a chunk of bait.
Carp and white bass always get used, usually fresh if possible. Next go-to bait is I save the trimmed bits when I cut up a package of elk or deer meat, let it get JUST a tad ripe (nothing like rotten, just gamey), and hook that stuff on.
I'm usually wading from shore, but sometimes get out in a kayak.
