    I will use a long handled net I ordered a B'n'M Sam Heaton Super-Sensitive Spinning Rod 7' for casting jigs from Walmart on line. They have 2 ordered 1 with 2 year warranty tax warranty and rod was total $39.00 shipped to store here in Nicholasville

    with two year warranty for $3.00 figured its worth it. I appreciate all of your ideas I have a 5' ultra lite, 6 ft lite so 7' Med lite 4lb line should work. really had my mind made up on BnM rod but wanted to here from the Pro's . Great wisdom here . Thank you always enjoy reading and gaining your wisdom

    So then I take it you are fishing off a dock at Herrington Lake, perhaps ??

    I might consider using 6lb test line and not locking down the drag on your reel ... you never know when that fish of another mother (species) might take a hankerin' for your bait.

    I like the Vicious Panfish copoly line, myself ... but, also use a variety of other brands.

    Every time I try to lift a good fish and swing it in the boat I do a touch release. I keep a net close by now so the fish can go into the live well.
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    You might want to take a look at B n' M's SHSS in 7' length. I've been hearing a lot of good things about it's sharpshooting capability. And you can get a good buy on one at Grizzly Jig Company. I have this model which I use for vertical jigging. Don't have many docks to shoot in this neck of the woods!
