I have a Quantum PT Accurist baitcaster on a 7' medium heavy Abu Garcia Silver Max pole I also have a Quantum PT Energy spin reel on a 6'8 medium heavy Shimano Sellus pole

It's certainly thick cover, but I've never had problems with line breaking while using 8lb mono in this stuff. So is the point of using 50lb braid to get the bait in a certain area where the fish are more likely to be? I'm fishing from a canoe so I don't know if that plays a role in deciding what to use.

I'm using a Texas rig setup with zoom horny toads (my personal favorite). I'm certainly paying attention, I've just had numerous occasions where I've thrown my line against the shore and have had fish on that I had absolutely no idea were on because I couldn't feel any taps or tugs. When I throw my line against the store or structure these fish are hitting right away and thats the only way I get bites, my problem is I just can't feel them half the time so I randomly set the hook; sometimes I get a fish, sometimes it's nothing and I look like a fool. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm fishing a very grassy lake and I'm using soft plastic baits. I have a Quantum PT Energy reel and I want to have more sensitivity when fishing with soft plastics. What type of line and what pound test would you recommend?

When spring rolls around I'll be fishing a small lake (20 acres) and I'm curious as to what type of setup I should use (Rod, Reel, Line, etc.). I spend most of my time fishing with frogs, brush hogs, and senkos. This lake is very grassy and I will be fishing from a canoe. One problem I run into is not feeling the fish bite my lure and I would really like to have more sensitivity. What setup would you use? Thanks for the help!!!
