Print rigged curly tail grubs. Marabu jugs
Never if your fishing trout or small fish Change your line when it gets all twisted up. Fish can see terminal tackle. Try not to use it al all. Some bigger salt water fish that are not line shy you may want to use it for.
I love one piece rods always my first choice
I only use artificial baits. Mostly marabu jiggs or plastic curly tail grubs. But if I we're you I would continue to use the live worms but I suggest casting and retrieving them not just letting then sit under a bobber and waiting.
Curly tail grub in a jug head . Nice and cheap. You will catch fish and not care if you loose them. A step up is an imitation cast master spoon. More money but great results. Expect to spend some money to catch the fish but not $6 to $9 bucks like the rapalas
I like to Wade in the river on really hot days. Keeps you nice and cool
