A fat head minnow. Live bait is the best stuff in the world. I got a really big hit today but since it is a new pole I had trouble landing it. Not use to open face reels yet. Then I put money down on a catfish pole today a St. Croix catfish pole. 120 bucks. I payed 40 to reserve it and will make another payment in 2 weeks and the final payment in 4 weeks. I am insane for getting it but it is handcrafted and made in the U.S.A. It is a telescoping one too. But it is a baitcasting rod or closed face reel. Baitcaster it is. I am hoping to get a used reel and get a better one for next year. I hope I can pass this pole down to my kids some day when I have kids. I probably will put a baitcasting reel on. I hope my parents don't ask me how much it was when I bring it home. I am just a college kid so they may kill me. I put alot of money away today in my savings account that I refuse to touch. I am going to do the same thing next paycheck. I have to wait a month to get it fully payed for and get to take it home with me.
