In my neighborhood we do catch tilapia on rod and reel. The bait used for them is the same bait used for almost all of the fish caught here. It's an over the counter bread mixture. It usually tends to be sweet and very sticky. The rig is a carp style rig, wire loops to hold a large amount of bait and 4 or 5 hooks. The hooks are pushed through a small foam ball then pushed into the bread mixture. I add ground food pellets and bananas for flavor and sticky rice to hold it together.
