bassfinder

You could pair a baitcasting reel with your rod but it looks weird. Just go with spinning reel.  

For walleye, you may need jigging spoon, lindy darter, and rapala jigging minnow. These lures may not catch fish every time but can call fish into the place. When you see the signal of fish, you can put the live bait down to the level right above the fish. Do nothing, they will bite. 

For panfish, it is quite simple. tiny jighead tipped with larvae or small minnow will do the trick. 

You need a fishfinder regardless it is a flasher or lcd type. 

Good luck！

Hi, I am new here. I would like to share my fishing stories with you. 

In the fall, I prefer one-two-punch way to catch fish. First, I go with crankbait to locate the most active fish. Once I find them, I switch to soft plastic like swimbait to get the big bites. There is no secret for fall fishing. In my mind fish are everywhere. Patience is the key. Regardless what you use and how you use them. On Rice, I fish the river more.....
