My favorite piece of gear is my "Little Jewel" collapsing fiberglass bream pole. You can get 9, and 10', but I like the 9' best. I use 8# line, #8 hook, and no sinker or bobber. I just let the bait float or drift down slowly. On that very light pole and line, you can feel every last nibble. A 12oz BG feels like a 5 LB LMB. When the bream are out of reach, or the bass are big, I use my fly rod, but fish almost the same way.
