I always like the treble hooks with the springs in a to hold the bait cuz I would make my own dough balls I kept all the fish I caught and ate them around here they're good eating
It depends on where you go I sold my kayaks to buy a Jon Boat .up in age it's harder for me to move around in a kayak. I can't wait for my new adventure in the Jon Boat
Welcome to fishing the best advice I can say is enjoy it. relax doing it and ask other fishermen 99% of them will tell you what they're fishing for and how they are doing it. pick the old-timers brains that you see they love to talk and tell stories .do not fall in the hype that this is a pretty lure it's only for you and not the fish stick to the basics and you will enjoy it
